Planting seed, it IS said, range from $1.5O to $1S0 pei bushel, with the average cost being placed at $165.

 The policy of the strand. thea tre is all changed this week. The cts and then entering the theatre in the hope of finding a seat is over for the next seven days as Mana ger Abernethy has arranged that all seats are reserved and there will be only two performances of The Ne'er-Do- Wel1' per day.
 This morning at 10 o'clock the box office of the Strand theatre will be opened and the sale of seats for the matinee and evening per formance started Already there has been a large demand for reser- vations and large capacity au- diences are expected for The 'Ne'er-DoWel today and the re- mainder of the week.
 In many respects critics assert that "The Ne'er-Do-W We'll" is even greater than that other photo drama, "The Spoilers" also writ ten by Rex Beach and released by the SeIig company.
 Colin Campbell directed The Spoilers" and "The Ne'er-Do- o-Wel1," " and Kathlyn Williams, who achieved such emotional heights in "The Spoilers" ecen surpassed the record made there as Mrs. Stephen Cortlandt in "The Ne'er- Do-Well."
 Wheeler Oakman plays the title role and the drama filmed in Panama, the locale of Rex Beach's story abounds in plot, counterplot, hand hand battles and strong love interest.

 TO PASS ARMY BILL
 The House will pass the Hay army reorganization bill by Thursday at the latest. In the discussion of this meas ure there has been evidenced more solidarity among democrats than had been exhibited at any time since the session began. In fact, the gen neral support which has rallied around ma tional defense legislation has been a surprise to the administration leaders, who had expected to encounter bitter antagonism. There is no doubt, how ever, that there are difficulties ahead for the army bill on account of the wide divergence between the Senate and House bills.
 Senator Chamberlain plans to call up the Senate measure tomorrow and to move that it replace the public lands water power bill as unfinished busi- ness. Whether this will succeed is doubtful, because there are several sen ators who believe that the Senate should wait until the House bill has been passed and that it should be used as the vehicle for the preparedness de- bate in place of the Senate bill. There will be no long delay, however. as the House measure will reach the Senate later in the week.

IS NOT FAR AHEAD


 San Antonio, Tex, March 19.-Gen. John J. Pershing today led the great CT part of the American expeditionary force beyond Casas Grandes and per- sonally began the direction of opera tions which, it is hoped, will terminate in the capture of Francisco Villa, ac- cording to advices received at Fort Sam Houston, here.
 Information has been secured indi- eating that Villa was not far ahead of the United States troops. but whether he intended to continue his flight or stop and fight was not known.
 Gen. Frederick Funston. department commander, withheld all details of the pursuit His reports showed however, that Casas Grandes now has become in effect field base of operations, pro- tected by the cavalry force under Col. George Dodd. It had been generally be- lieved that this cavalry would be sent forward as an advance guard, but Gen. eral Pershing decided to beat the ad- jacent country with the column he mad sent from Columbus, leaving to Colonel Dodd, for time at least, the task of protecting the head of the 100-mile line of communication from the border to Casas Grandes.
 TO PATROL THE LINE
 Two troops of the Twelfth cavalry ar rived at Columbus yesterday and have been sent forward to patrol the line along which detachments Of infantry also have been stationed. From Colum- bus to Casas Grandes supplies will be moved by automobile trucks and wagons and, if permission is secured, that means of transportation will be supplemented by shpbents over the Northwestern railway from Fl Paso.
 None of General Funston's information indicated the exact whereabouts or Vllla but there was disposition at his head quarters to regard as perhaps true the l-report coming from official Mexican sources that he had reached Babicora, in the district of Guerrero near his boyhood home. Other reports, however, lndicased that he was much nearer to Casas Grandes. Babicora is some 70 miles southwest of Casas Grandes, in the heart of a mountainous region from where Mex jeans insist the Americans will find it almost impossible to drive the fugitive. Villa is said to have with him a force of only about 400 men, but it is estimated that his -adherents in northern Mexico aggregate more than 4C00, and it is be- :, lieved possible that he may end his eff 1 forts at forcing a game of hide and seek 1 by getting together his forces and at empt the harassment of the pursuing | forces.
 I There is no reason to believe, army {, men explained, that Villa and his men l will suffer for want of food Tn the Gis- trict into which they have gone. The country is much more heavily timbered
 and watered than that in the north through which the American columns
 moved, and deer and orner game are abundant
 {, General Pershing's men were reported | in good shape and his animals, for the
 most rart. stood the fast march into
 Mexico well. The expeditionary force
 has reached higher elevation so that instead of suffering from the heat they have found the nights chilly. No serious 1 illness has been reported.

"I can say have every confidence in the situation, for the net drawn by the American and Mexican forces is closing up.''
 Villas turn to the west was rather a surprize to Gavira, who said that General Gutierrez thought he would escape east ward-an event Gutierrez was prepared for.
 Today Gavira received by a wire a copy of the agreement by which the Car ranza government permitted the entry of the American force ar Columbus.
