we have many friends in and around
Kendrick, perhaps they might be
interested in a few lines from us.
We just read the sad news of Mrs.
Drury's death at San Diego. They
lived in Kendrick when we were
there. We have many pleasant
memories of our two and one-half
years merchandising in Kendrick.
Norwalk, our present home, is
II miles from the center of the
great city of Los Angeles, which
now has more than six hundred
thousand souls and dare say, is in
creasing in population and build
ing, especially large factories faster
than any city in the U. S.
We have an ideal climate here as
we are only II miles from the ocean

Boulevards running thru the town.
The cool breezes tempers the warm
est days and makes them cool, and
no cold to speak Of, only a few
frosts. This is the ideal country
! for automobiles. We are on the
direct line eff the Boulevard from
Los Angeles to San Diego, Q2e
mile Boulevard all the way and more
than half of it along the ocean front
which makes a very picturesque

School work has been seriously
hampered by the large number Of
absences due to the epidemic of
colds, tonsilitis, etc. One day last
week there were 10 absences in the
high school and on Monday of this
week there were II pupils of the 9Th
grade. This matter of absence is
quite serious, perhaps more serious
than most parents realize, as all
recitations must necessarily be made
up. This is extremely annoying to
both pupils and teachers as well.
AS far as possible the pupil, when
absent, should endeavor to keep up
with their classes by studying at

THAT WOULD EXCLUDE
 FOREIGN NATIONS
l. is Indicated That Car ranza Will Accedc to the Intimation from This Country to Withdraw Troops from Naco
IAssocArrp PRESS DIsrArcHI

WASHINGTON. July 22.-Diplomatic advices from Mexico said that Carran- za had given notice that he would not receive communications from or trans act business with a foreign government which had no diplomatic agents accred- tied his government at Vera Cruz. II Is not expected that such action will effect the United States as Carranza is understood to regard Consul Silliman as it's properly accredited agent Car ranza's Washington agents said they had no advices of any action by Car ranza in refusing to deal with govern ments not represented at Vera Cruz They said that no notice had been given them nor had they heard that it was in contemplation. Tho enforcement of such order would virtually cut off the rarranza government from further communication with all foreign na lions which have ministers resident in Mexico City.
 The state department took notice ot the protests against tne occupation of Naco 6y Caranza's forces. Notice was given that the American government regarded the attack upon Naco as a violation Of an agreement Unofficial
 
 1a's chienains are preparing to with iraW from Naco.
 A message was sent Carranza call ing his attention to the situation and lskinc him to abide by the Scott agree nent with relation to Naco.
 No word has been received of the whereabouts of General Gonzales. who is believed to be seeking to give bat tie to a ,plHmn of Villa troops under General ITirro and Natera somewhere in the vicinit of Pachuca. Neither had fhe state department been able to get 4nv convincing news as to the exact condition in the capital or whether the Zapata forces. as reported two days lgo. were again in active control of the city. Mexico City remains cut off from communication and there are no ldviccs concerning the situation in that vicinity.
 Rioting in Cananea last Monday in which several Chinese merchants stuff red heavy losses was reported to the state department tonight. Quiet was restored and order was enforced. the report said. following the day after Carranza's army under Gales occupied the town.

French Story of Eight Months Battle Which Ragged in and About 8 Village and Wrote Car ency into History
IAssoc1arrp PRESS pIsrArcHl

ABBENILLE. France. July 22-The character of the town to town. house to house struggle that has been go- ing on north of Arras is shown in nearly all its details by the experience of Carency. An insignificant hamlet of about 475 inhabitants before the war. this village will have the hon ors of history IL first came into the zone of operations when the German movement toward the sea was finally checked there
 The Bavarians leaving Beaumont October 1st secured a footing on the hills of Vimy and Lievin. thc4th they Were at Carcncy. Givency en- -Gohelle. Notrc Dam de Lorette. Souchez and Abllin-Sain -NaZaire. all of which have since had the honors of fre- quent mention in tho official com munique. The French cavalry with the Moroccan mounted riflenen met them there and opposed further pro- longation of the cnemy's front by the valleys of the Authie and thc Canche. forcing them co fortify themselves fields around Lens. thus saving Bou- logne. Calais and Dunkirk
 The French took about half of the village of Carency on the night of October 5, but were stopped at the most considerable building Of the town. the Carency brewery. where the Germans made thcir final stand and where they maintained themselves alf winter. Its fall was the prelude to the conquest of the surrounding hills Tn the meantime the physiognomy. not only of the hamlet itself. but of the surrounding country had been SO changed that it is almost impossible for those who knew it before the war to recognize it now.
 From that day the brewery and the other buildings on the French lines became the target for the German g. inch and G-inch guns. As fast. how ever. as the shells reduced a building the French remained in the garret of the brewery. then were obliged to climb down to the second floor. In December the roof and garret fell i'm to the cellar and New Years day saw

The Russians although clinging desperately i to every undulation of the water Icourse in that broken and sandy country have been driven from one advanced position to another and forced to fall back upon tbe'last main line defense south of the railroad The long battle line is shortened considerably owing to the northward movement of the armies The Rus

Slight changes tending to shorten the program have been made in the list of speakers who will hold forth tonight at the mainline banquet over in the Chamber of Commerce building. The city wants the main line in a hurry, and is adopting the method of talking short and snappy about it, all same the creator of the ultra -pacificst." So, although there will be certain amount of elocution at tonighCs proceedings il needn't scare anybody away. There will be plenty of action later.

EQUALIZATION BOARD
 MAY BE LEFT AT SEA
National Guard Claim $ Funds Formally Refused by Auditor, But Encamp- ment Will Be Held Just the Same

Determination of the state tax levy land the consequent collection of taxes may be held up pending a decision in the appropriation bill matter This became known yesterday when it Was announced that in all proba- bility there would be no decision of the veXing question until September
 Although application will be filed today by Jesse Boyce for a writ of mandamus against State Auditor Cailasnan. it will be some time be- lore all the evidence in the case is before the court Under the law the auditor will be allowed ten days in which 10 answer and show cause why the writ should not be issued. Then the applicant may also be all lowed period of several days in which to reply to the defendants answer the exact length of such time to be fixed by the court. If only a week is allowed for filing a reply tu CallaGhan's answer, it will be August 10 before the case is submitted, and on that date the court will leave for the annual vacation, not to return until September 1.
 The state board of equalization will meet on August ?. following the an nua tax conference, to make any changes necessary in the assessed valuation. and to fix the state tax levy But in view of the fact that the amount Co be raised will prob ably not be settled then, it is not considered that the board could make much headway toward fixing the f--- be rendered void by a court decision just before the taxes became due and throw the entire fiscal mechanism of the state into even greater confusion.
 Just what the board of equaliza- tion will do if there is no decision in the appropriation muddle in Aug ust is not known. Chairman Charles E. Howe of the tax commission stated yesterday that the members had been expecting an early decision. and had not even discussed the pos silnity of the matter going over until fall In case such a thing should happen the course to be adopted would have to be determined.

Tn spite of the fact that the auditor had refused to honor the claims, he said. the annual enCampment would be held at Garden Canyon as or dered.
