LOOK OUT FOR The FAKIR AND CRATER

We note in many of our exchanges
reports of the manipulatious of divers
and sundry sorts Of fakirs and grafters
who seem to have been attracted to
this section by the prosperous times
and who are doing wholesale busi
ness in "stinging" the unsuspecting
farmers, in various sorts of ways. So
far, we have not heard OF any visits of
these individuals in this immediate
vicinity but that they will come our
way is assured and it will pay our peo.
pie to be on the lookout /; they don't
want to get "stung" good and plenty
Ii is always pretty safe to figure that
if peddler or agent comes around
soliciting orders for groceries and
other merchandise and submits sam
Piles that are first quality but quotes
prices much lower than the local deal
sr, that there is something wrong and
that after the order is given, :he agent
gone and the goods delivered and to be
paid for. that somebody is pretty apt
to be left holding the bag. As rule,
the local dealers are selling goods as
eheaply as it is possible for any legiti-
mate business to warrant and it is
prima facia evidence that when the
stranger in your midst offers such at a
greatly red duced price that he is going
to Skin" you on the quality of the
goods delivered.
The Liberal (KPnsas) Democrat sums
up the proposition as follows and it
would be we'll for all who read these
lines TO heed the sdmonition and avoid
the mail order contingent.
with the prosperous times now in
( vogue and plenty OF money circulating
. in this part of the country, it would
seem queer II the people were not
bounded by agents OF every description
who would like to sell anything from
pins to aeroplanes. The latest 'holler
coming is from some who have beer
! taken in on mail order groceries, tn,
) aforesaid groceries not panning out II
J per samples shown. and at price
which il charged by one of the Libera
grocerymen, he would promptly b,
put on the unfair list. These agenti
generally have one or two leaders OF
which they compare prices againt tina
G of home merchants, and the difIerenc'
D thus noted payes the way for addition
al purchases, the remainder Of which il
, usually higher than can be bough
from the home people. another baC
feature of the ease is, that after th'
head of the household has turned
down these oily-tongued ones, the!
{, usually go around to the wives and ge
the order, in hopes of making "father'
' dig when the goods arrive. Groceriel
can be purchased in Liberal az cheaply
i and of as good quality, as can be haC
in larger town, and there is no neec
OF anyone patronizing the ily-by nigh
contingent who are here today ant

action can be brought IL the goods DE-

of inactivity they have already spent in
England and depressed by the fact that
there is no immediate prospect of active
service, some of the best men in the
regiments still CHARTERED in Britain are
slipping away and enlisting under as
srImed names with troops on the way to
the front.
This is the story told by passengers
on the liner Minnehaha, which locked
here yesterday. 1t is not disloya these
say that is thinning the ranks of Eng
lands reserve forces, but merely i'm

Britain called for volunteers those who
responded were assured that they would

waiting now for ten months in mobiIi.
zation camps and no move has yet been
made by the authorities to send them
into battle
The deserters wait until It is rumored
that a certain body of troops is to go
to the front. Then they disappear. and
in few weeks are in Flanders under
assumed names. Two sergeants, ex-
tremely able soldiers, recently disap-
peared from a regiment recruited from
the Midlands. Three weeks later they
were discovered in a London hospital
suffering from wounds received in bat
tie.
Most Of the members of Kitchener's
army are recruited from a different level
of society than that from which the
| average Tommy" comes. They are, in
the main, men of education and refine
ment. who have given up positions of
trust to fight for their country. One
regiment. the Tenth Royal Fusiliers, is
composed almost entirely of stock ex-
change brokers. The rapid pace with
which the volunteers went through their
training spoke OF their eagerness to go
to the front. Now drill and camp life
have ceased to be q novelty and the
whole force IL bored to death. They en-
listed to fight. and since there appears
to be little prospect Of attaining that de-
sire In their own regiments. they are
finding desertion an easy solution Of the
problem.
Commanding officers are daily sending
complaints TO the war Office against the
present state of affairs. Up to the time

Two absolute divorces were granted
one bill for a limited divorce dismissed
and a bill for absolute divorce and an
other for maintenance filed yesterday In
the District Supreme Court.
Mrs. Hattie Brown came into court
with a petition for support. She didn't

charges against Anderson. her husband

Mrs. Brown said she found this sum

and she charges that he not only took
his furniture and the dinner on
her table, but actually went in the
kitchen ana took the soup meat out Of
her pot sitting on the stove.
William v. Mudd filed a petition for
absolute divorce from Mrs. Annie Hur-
ley Mudd. He says that their happy
married life was brief-they married in
1890 and separated in 1902 The husband
charges that Mrs. Mudd has been run

of May Adams. He charges she did
things no married woman should do and

TRUCE WILL BE DECLARED

The Carranza agency last night
made public dispatch received from
Vera Cruz. stating that serious lootins
by the Zapatistas Is reported going on
in Mexico City. This dispatch has
not yet been confirmed by Official ad-
vices to the State Department, but all
official reports in the last few days
have indicated that serious disorders
by the Zapatistas in the capital might
be expected.
The announcement by Gen. Isabel
Robes. representing former provisional
president Eulalie Gutierrez. that he had
arranged for a peace conference between
villa and Obregon attracted much at
tention here yesterday. In the absence
however, of any advices to either Of the
faetional tuntas or the State Department.
confirming Robes statement, those in
terested in the Mexican situation were
at a loss what value to assign to it.
In some quarters the FL Paso reports
OF Robes statement were declared to
be not worthy Of consideration. It was
asserted that Robes represents no one
Of any present consequence in the sit
uation and that nothing he could say
under existing circumstances could have
any important bearing On the situation.
Agents Discredit Statement.
1t was suggested that Robes was mere
ly trying to inject himself into the situa-
ton at moment when q change seems
impending. In other quarters. 1t was
thought that possibly there might be
something going on in Mexico to sup
port his assertions. though Mexican
agents here felt sure they would have
heard Of any negotiations Of such con-
sequence.
The State Department has no word
from Mexico City. nor any report what

The State Department has been ad-
vfsed Of an important change in the col
lection OF customs at Juare3, which il
expected to make for more satisfactory
conditions. Hipolito villa, brother of
Gen. Villa, has heretofore been permitted
to collect all the customA Hipolito has
