VILLA HAS FORCED
CARRANZA To Run
VILLA Is PERSONALLY LEADING
PURSUIT OF RETREATING ARMY
TWENTY-FIVE THOUSAND MEN
ENGAGED ON EACH SIDE

Ell PASO, Tex, April S.-By defeat
ing Gen. Obregons army in a battle
continuing two days in Ceatral Mex
leo, officials of General Villas faction
in Mexico, declared today at Jarez
that decisive blow has been struck
the cause of General Carranza, and
that henceforth Villa forces will meet
only slight opposition from that
source.
Complete details of the big battle
have not been transmitted to the Villa
headquarters at Juarez, but unofficial
advices reaching there today assert
Gen. Obregon's forces are hurriedly re-
treating in a southwesterly direction
from point midway between Quere-
tara and Iraputa, and that Gen. villa
is personally directing the pursuit OF
the fleeing Carranzaists.
About 25,O00 men were l-engag-
ed on each side during the battle
which is generally conceded to have
been the greatest fought since the
Inauguration of Mexico's int ernal trou-
bles several years ago.

STATE CHAMBER COMMERCE
To SOLVE MARKET PROBLEM
FOR GEORGIA PLANTERS
GEORGIA SHAMBER OF COMMERCE
WILL ESTABLISH BUREAU OF
IMPORTATION THAT WILL HELP
PRODUCER FIND MARKET
VIII Also Instruct Farmers How to Pre-
pare Products for Market and Ship
ping-Bureau to be Enlarged as Nee
essity Arises.

ATLANTA, Ca, April 8.-Beginning
with bureau of information, the Geor-
gia Chamber of Commerce will at
tempt to solve the marketing problem
for the farmers and merchants and
bankers of Georgia. Plans are now be-
ing worked out for the establishment
of such a bureau under the auspices
of the Georgia Chamber of Commerce.
The first work that will be done by
the bureau will be to list the produc-
ers and growers and what they pro-
duce, with quantities, grades and ship
ping points named. Also, merchants
and dealers, with their locations and
data as to their needs will be listed.
Information will be disseminated as
to freight and express rates and the
parcel post service.
Information will be broadcasted on
the proper methods of preparing prod
ucts for market, the use of standard
packages, and methods of shipment
The primary object of this bureau will
be to bring the producer and the deal
ers together, and to aid producers in
finding the best market available for
their products.
Beyond this first step, the bureau
will go as the need for further service
becomes evident, and the needs of all
parties are better understood. 1t IS
believed, however by the committee
that has been working on the market
ing problem to find a sound method of
solving it, that little more will be
needed than to furnish information
to those producers who have a surplus
of products above their own needs, ana
the fact that the best market is the
producers own mouth, the second best
market the mouths of his hogs and
cattle, and the best grain sack is a
steer hide or pig-skin, will be stressed
at every opportunity.

To Erect Tive Buildings.


1t is the prpose of those in control
to erect two spacious buildings IN
place of the administration building
recently destroyed by fire. These will
be an administration building and
separate auditorium-armory.
The A. & NJ. college has been doing
a great work under the supervision of
President Collum. While the burning
of the administration building looks
like calamity, it gives the college
chance to begin anew and to build
along greater lines.
President Collum will more than
likely heed the request of friends of
the college and undertake to raise the
100000 needed to place the A. & M
where it belongs. His ability and ear
nestness assure the success of the
campaign.
"A Bigger and Better A. & NJ" win
mean much to Americus. Citizens can
well afford to loosen up their purss
strings and help raise the money.

PRESIDENT OF AEMRICUS CHAM
BER OF COMMERCE PAYS VISIT
TO TALLAHASSEE AND URGES
GOVERNOR TRAMMEL TO AP-
POINT WEST FLORIDA MAN ON
FLORIDA COMMISSION
To Swing Dixie Highway Into West
Florida win Assure Its Passing
Through Americas - Cities From
AmericuS to Florida Line Enthusias-
tic and viii Have Delegates at Meet
ing Here Next Week.

President Mathis of the Americus
Chamber of Commerce, returned this
morning from flying visit to cities
between Americus and the Florida
line that are on the proposed Americus
division of the Dixie Highway. Mr..
Mathis finds all the cities enthusiastic
and determined to work hard to secure
this highway. They all signifified their
intentions of having delegates present
at the Americus meeting next Thurs
day.
President Mathis was joined in AL
bany by Secretary Mauk, of the Albany
Chamber of Commerce, and in Thom-
asville by Secretary Martin, of the
Thomasville booster organization. To-
gether with these gentlemen he visited
Tallahassee, Florida, and called on
Governor Trammel.
These three gentlemen went to Tai
lahassee to urge Governor Trammel to
appoint at least one west Florida man
on the Dixie Highway commission from
Florida. The governor assured them
he would give their request due coa
sideration and more than likely
heed it.
If a West Florida man is appointed
this assures the road entering Florida
at point near Tallahassee. That
makes it impossible for the Georgia
commission to select any other route
than the cus-Thomasville high
way.
Americus-C Columbus Montgomery
In addition to working hard to Sc
cure this Hoosier State Dixie Highway
for Americus and Sumter county, Pres
ident Mathis has started movement
that will probably result in the build
ing of good highway from Montgom-
cry to Americus. He is in communica-
tion with the secretary of the Mont
eOmery Chamber of Commerce and also
with the Columbus trades body.
The county commissioners of Marion
have announced that they win assist in
this move. Already Marion has a good
system of roads and will make a con
Meeting link between Sumter and Mus
cogee counties.

That the editorial "A Bigger and
Better A. & M. College" published in
yesterdays Times-Recorder struck A
popular vein, was evident this morn
ing when President Collum of the
college, and Mr.. Crawford Wheatley.
member of the board OF trutees,
called up the Times Recorder and
announced that campaign to raise
100000 for the college void lie inaugu-
rated Immediately.
Both President Colium and Mr..
Wheatley are vitality interested in the
and believe that it will be a
comparatively easy matter TO raise the
$4,000 needed to rehabilitate the
school and erect buildings that will
place it among the leading agricultural
schools in the South.
That the state will appropriate
$4,000 to replace the building re-
Gently destroyed by fire is the BELIEF
of several here in close touch with the
state officials. This leaves $4,000 to
be raised by the citizens of this dis
trict.

WOLVES DEsTRY
YUKON CAME

Taylor and olson, trappers recent ly in from Che head Of the Peel re- port that while in that district they saw carcasaes of twelve caribou calves which had been slain by wolves in Q spot on Sheep creek not more than fifty feet in dimeter Not one of the calves, they state, had been even part ly eaten by the valves. Near by were the carcasses of two full.sized caribou who had been killed by the wolves and partly eaten. The hunters complain that the wolves are thus working bis destruction of the game so essential Go the support of the Indians and the prospectors and trappers of the re- zion, and urge that Q bounty be placed on wolves. John Hudson. old timer. who is taking an interest in the mat ter, says that a bounty of five dollars on wolf pups and ten dollars on old wolves would create such activity in the effort to destroy them that soon they would be exterminated.
 The wolf, says Hudson, is the damned Dlutocrat of the animal king dom, devouring whom he can and al- ways slcying whom he cannot devour. In Montana the bounty wiped out the pest in short order. The state gave bounty and the atockmen. who sui fered most from the marauders, in. creased the bounty with a supplement tary sum. Now the wolves are 80 few in that state the determination to hold them down has caused the state and stoclmen to offer a combined reward for every scalp, and it is having the desired effect Meat and furs lost in this northern region every year by reason of the wolves is enormous, and argues tho necessity of some ac- ton. Alaska already is offering a bounty The heads usually are given over to the government and burned on payment of the bounty. and the body of the pelt is retained by the captor for other purposes. A bounty would be an inducement to the hunt CTS to go after the wolves in the spring when the pelts are poor as well as in winter, and also would encourage digging them out of their nests and destroying the females and the pups" -(Dawson News)

If the early chapters may be relied upon as indicating what the rest will be. Mir. Underwood will have performed a high service m pre- senting a complete and accurate com pendium of the subjects rlghtfully to be embraced in a work of this kind; and readers win be indebted to him also for treating those subjects in a highly readable and attractive form. have enjoyed the acquaintance Of the author for several years, and his book promises to meet my best ex- pectations of the work which would be produced by writer so conscien- tious and 80 well equipped by pro- iessional training and long residence in the Territory"
 As one by one new books are being added to the library shelves, an ef- fort ia being made to secure the pick Of the publications of recent years.

years ago Mr.. Gerber underwent
an operation on his kidneys,
which came near resulting in
death. He came. out of that or
deal victim of the drug desire,
which chung to and harrassed
and Inundated him through the
years. Specialist after special
ist endeavored to cure him, but
without success. Last fall he
came to Florida to spend the
winter with relatives, whom he
helped in their orange groves
and truck fields. Not liking the
warm water available for drink
ing purposes, he. with others,
took a basket of oranges toy the
fields each morning, using the
juice to quench their thirst. MIR.
Gerber discovered one day that
the desire for morphine was
leaving him, and thereafter.
when the desire returned, he
suckd an orange instead of us
ing the drug. This practise
continued several months, and
on June 10 he left for his home,
as the Grower says, "the hap
piest man who ever left the
state" He threatens to kill the
first man who ever offers NOR
phine to him again, and The
Times sincerity hopes he will
not be called upon to make
good"

ORANGES AS A CURE FOR
MORPHINE HABIT.

In a recent issue of that gem
of an agricultural and horticul-
tural trade paper. the Florida
Grower, appeared an intensely
interesting story of the cure of
]. f. Gerber of Stafford county,
Kansas, through eating oranges,
of the morphine-taking habit,
with which he had been afflicted
for twenty-five years.
Mr.. Gerber's experience is an
unusual one. and in case oranges
possess qualities that will re-
lieve drug victims of the over
whelming desire for the poison
the world should be acquainted
with the fact. 1t is evident that
a complete cure was unexpect-
edly wrought in the Kansan's
case. More than a score OF
