Commanders Failed

NODUbAUOSVS U OIuSV
Douglas, Ariz., Nov. 24.-Available
Carranza reports early today indicated
that the failure Of his commanders
combined with erroneous information
had resulted in a complete change
in the plans Of General Alvaro Ober-
gon to crush the Villa forces in So
nora and end revolutionary strife in
Mexico.
General Rodriguez, escaping from
Cananea and misleading the Carranza
chieftain since Saturday, was report
ed on his way to reinforce the No
gales garrison with his army Of be-
tween 1000 and 1000 men. Colonel
Cardenas, leading 1000 Carranza cav
airy, was last reported headed for the
Sonora river valley in the belief that
a few hundred of Rodriguez men sent
south from Cananea as a lure was
the main Villa body.
General Gales, at Molina, in ap-
parent ignorance of the movements Of
General Rodriguez, said he would be
in Nogales within five days.
General Dieguez reported to Cen
eral Obergon that he expected a vic
tory from an attack on Villas forces
eight miles north Of Atlantic begun
yesterday.

F. F. Avery Speaks
to Normal Students

One of the most interesting as vel
as the most instructive talks we have
had this year in chapel was giver
Tuesday when F. F. Avery, of the gov
eminent Indian school at Washington
spoke to the students and faculty o.
the work being done there.
Mr.. Avery said in part: that the
schools now being most successfully
used by the government in the state
of Washington were the day schools
modelled as closely as possible on the
public schools with which we are SO
familiar. They are trying too, to gel
as many Of the boys and girls as can
be on the reservation, or rather on
what used to be the reservation, into
the public schools nearby. Last year
rs per cent of the school population on
the Indian lands attended the public
schools. But for those who are too
conservative or too distant to go to
these schools we have the little day
schools, as we found that in the board
ing schools, several years of institu-
tional life seemed to rather get their
feet off the ground and make them out
of touch with their home lives.
In these day schools the boys are
taught the rudiments of manual train
ing, not the fine work have just seen
in Mr.. Selden's department, which is
the most beautiful have ever seen,
but just how to swing gate or lay a
walk, to repair buildings and fences.
Things that they can apply right at
home. We also have blacksmith
shops. At first we had trouble in get
ting anyone who could teach this, but
now we have settled that and the In
dams in the more inaccessible parts
Of the reservation, who before had the
greatest difficulty in getting their
wagon wheels fixed or their horses
shod, can come to the school and have
he work done by their own boys. This
1as aroused the interest of the most
Indians, and this year
hey have raised surprisingly good
crop of grain on land that two years
lgo they would not touch.
In the domestic science department
he girls are taught to make at least
me simple dress year and one apron.
They are taught by practical demon
tration in preparing the midday
neal, from things mostly raised on the
chool grounds, how to set table,
prepare and serve a meal. The do
nestle science teacher not only teach
IS this in the school but she goes into
he homes with practical aid and ad-
ice.
All of this we are doing crudely but
Effectively to fit the scholars to be self
citizens, and to educate
he communities as we'll. Not to es-
TRANCE children and their parents, but
o enable them to go back to the old
ife and make it better.

PRESENTATION OF
PEWS TO CHURCH

The Emmanuel Young Peoples soci-
ETY. of the Lutheran Free church held
an interesting session Thanksgiving
evening in the church, when they in
vited the members of the congrega-
ton to their Thanksgiving festival.
Over hundred of the friends of the
church were present to enjoy the hos
pitality Of the young people.
A splendid program was rendered
during which the Young Peoples So
ciety presented the church with the
new pews which they had purchased
the past summer and which add
very materially to the appearance
Of the interior of the church.
The young people have worked faith
fully for some time past in order to
purchase and turn over the seats to
the congregation at this time free
from debt. The Band Of Workers also
showed their cooperative spirit by pre-
senting to the church at this time a
hymnboard and collection bags, which
were both very necessary and which
needless to say were very much ap'
preciated by the congregation.
The program opened by short ad'
dress of welcome by R. E. Skonnord
the president of the society, followed
by very appropriate reading by Miss
Belinda Seberg on the first Thanks
giving day in America. Rev. E. s. Sol
helm, the pastor of the church, gave
the principal address of the evening
and dwelt at some length on the work
of the Young Peaple's society and
their relation to the congregation, anG
on behalf of the society presented the
new pews to the church.
M. O. Skonnord, of the congregation
made an appropriate response and or
behalf of the congregation thanked the
young people most heartily for the
beautiful gift and the interest they
have shown in the church work. The
closing number was vocal duet b,
Misses Aas and Hart, which was en-
joyed by all.
At the close of the program til,
guests were invited to the basement
where delicious supper had been pre-
pared by the young people. There wa
room enough for all at the tables an,
after partaking of all the good thing
to eat and enjoying social time, al
departed for their homes feeling tina
they were amply repaid for COMING
and that a spirit Of good will existe,
between the congregation and younI
people.

perOr has addressed personal Gull
munication to the Serbian premier, &C
cording to the Saloniki dispatch OF
Wednesday to the Daily Telegraph, in
which he promises the appearance in a
week hence in Bulgaria of Russian
troops. The Italian government, &C.
cording to this dispatch, also has
promised to send an expeditionary
force of 10000 men.
London, Nov. 25.-Cordial relations
between Greece and the entente pow
ers have been re-established by the
Greek governments assurances that
no attempt will be made to interfere
with the allied troops should they, un-
der any contingency, be forced to cross
the Greek frontier and that railway
and other facilities will be afforded
them.
That the assurances and guarantees
are satisfactory to the allies is shown
in the fact that Greek grain ships
which had been held up at Malta have
been allowed to proceed to their des'
tinations, relieving what would have
been a very serious shortage of
bread supplies ii their detention had
been prolonged.
: 1t is understood that the allies have
promised Greece monetary indemnity
after the war for any damage which
might be done through the occupation
Of Greek territory.
With this question out of the way,
the British public has conferred its in
terests upon the attitude of Rumania
and the Intervention of Russia. 1t is
we'll established that Russia has con-
centrated a great army near the Ru-
manian frontier and dispatches state
that large number Of heavy guns
have arrived at Odessa from Japan for
its use. However, the direction in
which this army will move will be die.
tated by the policy the Rumanian gov
eminent adopts.
AS result of the success of the
Austro-German and Bulgarians in
gaining command of the Kossovo pla-
teau, the Serbian government has
moved to Scutari, while the army is
defending the little fringe of Serbia
which lies between the Sitnica river
and the Albanian and Montenegrin
frontiers. It can be provisioned from
Scutari from which place the Monte
negrins built good roads during their
occupation.
Monastir is still in possession of the
Serbians but the Bulgarians are push
ing toward it while the army of Cen
eral Gallwitz is reported to be on
the way from the Vardar valley to help
the Bulgarians attack the Anglo.
French forces. g..
Heavy cannonading continues on the
western front. Winter has put stop
to any big movements on the eastern
fronts while the Italians are persisting
In their offensive and are daily getting
near Gorilla, across the Isonzo, and
Rovereto and Riva, in the Trentino.

Advises Abandoning Balkans

Berlin, Nov. 24.-"Luciana Nagrini,

agement of the First National corn
show, to be held in st. Paul under the
auspices of the First National bank
and Northwestern Trust company of
st. Paul and bankers Of the northwest,
feel safe in assuring the public that
the largest display of corn ever shown

sofa, Wisconsin, North and South Da-
kota, Montana, Washington, Oregon
and Idaho, the states included in the

ters.
4 The fact that there is to be no com.
petition between states and that each
state has been divided into districts
in such manner that competition is
practically local, gives each exhibitor
an equitable opportunity to compete
for the beautiful silver and bronze
loving cups offered as prizes which
total 1876 in number and are valued al
$4,000. 3s
A distinctive feature of this corn
show is the boys corn raising compe
tition open to entries by boy corr
growers throughout the northwest, Il
years of age or under. They will be
awarded the same valuable trophies
as are offered the adult exhibitor. NJ
entry fee is charged. Exhibits viii
be returned to contestants where they
express desire that this be done al
the time of making entry.
A corn show of this nature not only
serves to stimulate interest in thu
question Of corn production in the ter
ritory included, but in addition, it!
successful contamination means add
ed publicity to the great agriculture
resources of the northwest
| In order that every district may b
well represented, farmers and farm
ers' sons are urged to secure an entr.
blank from their local banker an,
send an exhibit to the First Nationa
corn show, St. Pual, Mimi, on or be
fore Dec. 1. Exhibits will be receive,
