De La Rosa Band Intent on
Raiding Near Rio
Grande City.
FUNSTON GETS NEWS
American Strength of One
Troop Inadequate to
Meet Bandits.

GAN ANTONIO. Texas. June e.
- General Funston announced lat
today THAT he had what appeared to
be positive information that Luis
De LaRosa was marching from a
point south of Laredo in the direction
of the border with the evident inten-
tion of raiding the country somewhere
west of Rio Grande city. There are
not now in that district enough Amer
lean troops to prevent De LaRosa and
his men from crossing.
Gen. William a. Mann. con mand-
ing the American forces in that dis
trict with headquarters at Laredo.
has reported to General Funston that
he is taking such measures as poss,
BILE to strengthen the patrol toward
the east and to guard Laredo.
To the cast Of Laredo in Zapata
county across whose southern bound
airy De LaRosa is expected to move,
the American strength is only one
troop of cavalry
At just what point on the border
line the MeXicans intend to strike was
not learned and ii was not announced
just how far away they were toua,
but they were said to be comparative
" near.
VIII Run Band Down.
If De LaRosa and his men reac:.
the Rio Grande before American
troops can head them off, enough
force will be sent against them to
drive them back into Mexico. and il
was intimated, to run them down oi.
Mexican soil.
De aROsa was one of the leaders
of the group that directed the raids
west of Brownsville a year ago. Since
then he has been fugitive in his
own country with a price of 81, 900 on
his head offered by the state of Tex1s.
The information that reached Gen
eral Funston indicated that De La
Rosa would not be more than two o.
three days at the most in getting to
the border. If raiders strike Ameri-
can territory in Zapata county little
injury to the residents is anticipated
because with the exception Of one OF
two families all are Moxicans. From
the farmers a large number Of horses
and mules could be secured, how
ever.
General Mann has at Laredo and
! in its vicinity one squadron of cav
airy. a regiment Of infantry and a
battery of artillery. 1t is from this
| force that he has dispatched addi-
tional patrols eastward.

Last Friday the high school building
at the old county seat was totally destroy

not the old public school building on the
outskirts of town, near the big lake form

story building in the main part Of the
town. This building was originally erect
ed by the Order of Eagles. The second
story was fitted up at that time as
lodge room, and the ground floor as a pub
lie hall. 1t was the largest and most sub
stantial building in Conconully, and con-
sidering the present conditions and pros
poets of the town the edifice will probably
not be rebuilt. The school directors had
rented the building, and used the second
story as a high school. 1t Is stated that

OBITUARY NOTICE.

Some two weeks ago mention was
made in this paper of the death In
Kansas of J. c. Wild, a former resident
of Oroville, who lived for a time on
the farm now owned by Geo. /. Cole,
to whom Mr.. Wild sold the property.
The following Is an obituary notice
that is taken from the Fredonia (Kan)
Herald:
John Clarence Wild was born near
Beatrice in Gage County, Feb. 21, 1868
and died of heart trouble, in Paola,
Kansas, April IA, 1916, where he had
gone for treatment, being at the time
of his death a resident of Farmdale, in
Wilson county, Kansas, where he COM
bined farming with the mercantile bus
mess during the past four years. He
spent his boyhood and youth in De
Witt, where he attended the public
schools until 1887 when he attended
the Wilber High school from which he
graduated in 1888. He also attended the
M. e. College at BARLEY and the Nor
NAL college at Lincoln. He taught
school in the Casper district south OF
Wilber, at SwantOn, Dewitt and
Holmsville, always with pronounced
success. He went to Pierre, 8. Da., In
the early ninties and engaged part of
the time in store keeping. In 1902 he
was married in that city to Miss
Blanche Dorothy. To this union three
children were born. Dorothy, Winfred
and Wayne. He is survived by his wife,
his three children, four brothers,
Frank, j. A.. Fred, Ray and one sister,
Mrs. Alicia Bailey, and his mother,
Mrs. Lizzie Wild. He had the misfor-
tune while living in Washington to

withstanding this, his family Is left In
comfortable circumstances"

RAISING THE BID.

Announcement was made in this
paper a fortnight ago that the Simil-
kameen Water Power company had
sold out to Sivyer & Enloe, of Spokane,
but just now it looks very much as
though higher bidders would secure
the plant. The executors of the Hag-
gerty estate, chief owners of the plant.
have received a bona fide bid from
Milwaukee people very much in excess
of the amount offered by the Spokane
firm and much more advantageous to
the heirs of the estate. Under the terms
of the new bid the Hagerty children
secure a far better equity than under
the original bid. The company has not
as yet acted upon the new proposition.
The last deal was put through by the
attorney of the Hagerty interests, and
it is alleged that the persons making
the offer are men of large capital, In a
position and ready to close the deal IL
the offer is accepted.

average this point is usually some
where around eight or ten tons. Above
this the yield is increased, but the
amount of increase for each ton of
manure applied is not nearly as great
as with smaller applications. If ff-
teen tons will not produce third lar
ger increase in yield over ten tons
then it is certainly a poor policy to
apply this extra five tons unless an
unusual condition prevails where more
manure is available than is really
needed.
Under the usual corn belt conditions
of rotation of corn, wheat and clover,
or corn, oats, wheat, and clover good
practice is to apply the eight or ten
tons of manure to the clover sod be-
fore blowing under. If at all possible
try to get this large an application on
all the field. Too often the hill points
are given .arge quantities of manure
and the lower areas are allowed to go
without any This may be a good
practice in particular cases but as
general practice is certainly objection
able. Regardless of all manuring it
is usually impossible to make these
hill points yield as much as the other
portions of the field. Even if this
could be done the question still re-
mains as to whether the manure, if
applied elsewhere, would not have
yielded more money returns per ton.
In general make the manuring sys-
TEN fit into your rotation as much as
possible and don't apply all of the
manure on too small an area and let
the other fields go without any. If
truck crops are being grown to any
extent then entirely different systems
prevail In this case larger money re-

How Much Manure Per Acre

This question of how much manure
should be applied per acre at each APP
plication in order to get the best re-
suits really should not be of very great
concern to most farmers because they
have not enough to cover all of their
fields once in every three or four
years. However, from observation
know that it is common practice to
apply too much manure per acre at
one time. There is scarcely ever any
harmful effect noticed from such prac-
tees but rather it is a case of not get
ting the largest money returns per
ton
If we study our experiment station
results, which are quite extensive and
in many cases cover several years of
experimentation, we find that almost
without exception in going from four
to twenty ton application per acre,
the value received per ton begins to
show decrease at some point. AS an

Life Is What We Make 1t

Life is, in large degree, what we
make it. And how shall we succeed if
we pass by heedlessly life's precious
opportunities? Little opportunities of
doing good, little lessons that may at
present seem unimportant, help mat
erially to lay the foundation for a
great and useful life. Our faculties
for exercising an influence over others
are so many and so great that it is
difficult to conceive how two persons
may sit and converse together without
eXerting mutual influence; and
every one who critically examines
himself, his intellectual and moral
state, will observe that, however short
his interview with another person may
be, it has had an effect upon him and
this influence is usually eXerted when
we think little about it; but we have
left impressions which will never be
erased. This influence and consistency
has often great power. A single in
stance of advice, reproof, caution or
encouragement may decide the ques-
ton as to mans responsibility, useful
ness and happiness for lifetime.
How important, then, that we improve
every opportunity to make our life a
blessing to others.-Zion's Herald

The Condition OF Grace Marshall

Grace Marshall, the young woman
of Talbot county, who is at the Johns
Hopkins Hospital as the result of the
compulsory solitary confinement in
which she spent the years of her girl
hood and early womanhood, has a
gloomy future awaiting her. Accord
ing to DR.. Hall, of the Henry Phipps
Clinic at the Hospital, she will never
regain normal mentality.
After four months there her mind
has improved very little over the blank
that it formerly was. A continuous
vague stare, inability to utter more
than few monosyllablic words, and
failure to recognize things about her
are the signs that convince the ply
sicians of the failure of their efforts.
Her physical improvement, however,
has been more marked, having gained
to date just 20 pounds in weight and
80 per cent in blood richness. For
exercise she hobbies around the semi
private ward in which she is kept.
Hope is held out that further physical
improvement will increase her weight
to over the 100 pound mark, but even
the most optimistic will not prophesy
any appreciate improvement in her
mental condition.
