Commanders OF the United States

The Villistas today became so bold
in their assault that score Of their
snipers even took up vantage points
on the American side near the inter

The battle was still raging az day

produce the mon ey for the farm,

BY custom and habit, too many
farmers subordinate all farm opera
tions to the staple or money crop.
That Is wrong. First provide, as
far as possible, a good and comfort

butter the year around; then provide
a good chicken house. and with
about ten dollars worth OF poultry

chickens, 80 they can be kept out Of
the garden and crops. Set apart q
