have arrived at the border.
 It was indicated that another con- ference between Generals Scott and Obregon might take place today.
 The failure to receive from Car ranza unequivocal authority to con- clude the negotiations with General Scott regarding the status of Ameri- can troops in Mexico was offered as General Obregop's excuse for not signing the agreement.
 General Otbregon, it is said, has sought from the central government auth ority to close the negotiations American officers insisted and Mexi- can officers admitted that the next move in the negotiations belongs to iObregon.
 While General Scott waited for as- surances from across the Rio Grande that the Mexican officials were pre- pared to sign the protocol govern ment operations of General Persh- ing's troops in Mexico, General F'uns- ton studied maps of the Big Bend re- zion and of the country in Mexico just south of that district.
 The four troops of cavalry cannot get to the border. before night and it is not expected they will arrive before the morning after It was admitted at General F'unston's tenn porary headquarters that by this time the raiding party had escaped into the interior. where their pursuit would be even more difficult than that un- dertaken by General Pershfng. For the troops to march from Marathon cannot easily be done before Thurs day.
 - Residents of the border towns con- tfnued today to appeal for more ade- quate protection but the scarcity of troops made it improbable that their requests would be granted.
 Whether the American troops will cross the fnternational1 line into Mex ico in their pursuit of the raiders was not indicated by General Funston, but it was pointed out by other army off, cers that such action was improbabIe.t At army headquarters it was antici- pated that official sanction would be given such action, but it also was real ized that General Funston could not get together from the troops available force strong enough to engage in such an expedition. It was intimated that if the troops that have been sent south from Marathon s1lould encounter any of the raiders they would be pursued even if the trail led into Mexico, but could be no intention of sending the few hundred men any great distance into Mexico because of the impossi- bility of maintaining long line of

Marathon, Tex, May 9.-One hun dred and twenty cavalrynen of Troops F and H of the 14th cavalry, and a machine gun troop started to- ward the Mexican border just after sunrise this morning. This new force of American cava1rymen plans to re- inforce the two troops of cavalry that moved forward yesterday from a new army base here to Glenn Springs, which was raided by a large band of Villa followkers last Friday. The two troops that went southward today were under command of Colonel Fred ericl w. Stb1ey, who will be in charge of all the American forces now mov- ing on Glenn Springs and Boquillas. These forces will augment the scat tered attachments of cavalrymen who have been guarding the long border line. Officers do not believe any punt tive expedition will be sent into Mex tco.
 Word was awaited today from Cap tain Caspar Cole, who with a, detach- trail along the Rio Grande to ascer- tain if there are any, bandits still lurking on this side of the river.

 MANY DANGERS |
Issue List of ssDon'ts'' In Con- nection With Proven
 ton Day.

Chief D. E. Johnson and Capt. T. F. BEoderick. inspector of fire risks, have assigned Saturday, May 13, as Clean ing Up and Fire Prevention Day, ask ing the cooperation of all property owners, store keepers, tenants and agents to see that all refuse is re- moved Special attention should be given the vast numbers of furnished room houses in the city, Capt. Brod- erfck says. He has offered the follow ing suggestions to guard against fire:
 Don't leave everything to the landlord. Inspect your own home from cellar to garret.
 Don't throw away lighted matches, cigars and cigarettes.
 Don't go in dark closets, bed- rooms or cellars with matches or lighted candles.
 Don't use kerosene or benzine to light fires. It may result in death.
 Don't use gasoline or benzine in your home.
 Don't put ashes in wooden boxes or in halls or 1anding7.4
 Don't accumulate old bedding or trash in your cellars
 Don't store oils, paints, grease or fat in your home. Keep them outside if possible.
 Don't put in your ash bin such articles as grease, paper, or [old rags. Such waste is likely to cause fire.
 Don't have laco curtains too near the gas jet Don't set the kitchen range too close to woodwork. Put a metal sheeting behind it.
 Don't look for gas leaks with lighted matches or candles.
 When in places of public amusement such as moving pie ture theatres and dance halls, look around and notice the near est exit to you. In case of fire walk, don't run to the exit, for panic is a greater source of dan ger than fire.
 Every man. woman, boy or girl over IA years of age ought to know how to send in a fire Harm in the regular way by breaking the glass, unlocking the door and pulling down the hook just once. Stand by the box and direct the fremen to the scene of the fire.
 Every person should have a card in his hone~or place of bus mess showing the location of the nearest number. Also have the engine house telephone number. Never hesitate in case of fire to use the telephone, or better stin, run to the nearest fire alarm box.

 Charges Coercion Was Used
 For ninety minutes Fay's counsel, Mr. fUnger. argued for the defense. He centered his attack on discrediting the confessions to the police and the charged. the police had used coercion. He was followed by Attorney McDon- ald for Scholz and Attorney Pratt for Daeche. Mcdonald warned against pre- eJudice against Germans: MT Pratt argued that no evidence showing Daeche had knowledge of any con spiFacy had been adduced

 The arrest of Fay, Daeche and Schoiz was the result of weeks of hard work on the part of. Capt Tun- ney and his bomb squad, aided later by Capt. OffleyT of the Department of Justice.

What Fish Contend With

If itSwere not for the efforts made to restock the streams and lakes, the follower of Izaak Walton would find but poor picking on his spring fish ing trip. As it is, he deplores bitter ly that sport is not what it used to be-.
 A plentiful stock of fish seems hopeless under modern civilization. Wherever man goes he upsets the course of nature. He lays his tdes- troying hand on the wild life Of the woods and the dwelIers of the streams. What is killed for recrea- ton may not exhaust natures treas uries as much as what is killed for the market
 Mans works are hostile to the life of the streams. He turns. the sewage of his towns, the dirty refuse of his factories, and the sawdust from his timber, into thes streams, and then complains that sport is no good
 The automobile is an enemy. Where formerly only the farmers boy fish, ed the plentiful stream, now the mo- tor parties may come out from a city a hundred miles or more distant But the country people are not hostile to these visitors, as they pay we'll for their privilege, But population haa increased, the proportion of those who enjoy sport is as great as ever, people have more leisure and money, and often there is a fisherman for every trout.
 If the people care to preserve fish and game for genuine sport, hunting and fishing for market sale will have to be stopped altogether. This will be no hardship. The mil1ionaires and chorus girls of the. great cities. and the society soJourners at costly hotels can find other viands just as attrac- tive.
 A stream well stocked with fish is an asset for a whole section It pro- vides the most health giving kind of recreation. It supplies a whole dis triet with appetizing food. And it promotes business by drawing visi- should not be sacrificed for the doubtful economy of selling for mar ket use.

PLAN FOR GOOD POTATO CROP
eplndlIno Sprouts Produce Weak and
Small Tubers - Test Seed Be-
fore Planting Time.

II you plant potatoes which produce
weak and spindling sprouts. you viii
not secure good crop.
There is disease, found almost all
over the world, known as "spindling
sprout," which most of us have noticed
both in the field and In the cellar You
have seen the seed potatoes with the
weak sprouts, and you have seen hills
In the fall which made nothing but lit
tie potatoes.
This disease is hereditary. Doctor
Hall, at the Geneva station. planted
40 Of these potatoes, and the yield
gave nothing but small potatoes. and
only about half a pound to the hill.
1t Is supposed that this weakness is
produced by dry, hot weather in the
growing season. Potatoes like q cool,
moist climate, and they run out in hot
and droughty conditions. Before plant
ing, give your seed sprouting test
say six weeks before planting. Sprout
some Of the seed in warm, dark
place. If all potatoes produce strong
sprouts, 1t is safe seed to plant. II
some Of the potatoes bring the spin
ding sprouts, it is as unsafe to plant
them as 1t would be to plant corn a
good portion of which does not sprout
well.
II the seed is poor, secure better
seed. This may be obtainable in the
neighborhood, or 1t may be necessary
to send to some northern climate for

CROP ROTATION IS FAVORED
Chief Aim Should Be to Leave Field
In Better state Of Cultivation
and Free From Pests.

The most profitable crop rotation
does not consist merely in changing
the crops around from year to year
regardless of the relation Of the crops
to each other. The central aim In al
crop rotation systems should be to
leave each field In better state o!
cultivation, better physical conditisr
and reasonably free from pest at the
end of each rotation cycle.
No hard and fast rotation system
can be laid down for any community
but the most profitable system must
be worked out for each farm and, In
deed, for each field.
There are certain general principles
however, that should be borne in mind
In this connection in order to accom-
plish the most satisfactory results
For soil improvement there should be
at least one leguminous crop in each
rotation cycle. To this class of plants
belong the clovers, alfalfa, peas, beans
etc.
There should be also a sufficient
quantity of live stock, especially
mich COWS, on each farm to utilize
the roughage and to supply the de.
sired quantity of stable manure,
which, in addition to green crops
plowed under, will furnish the neces.
sary amount of humus to the soil.

WATERING WORK HORSE
Many Animals Are Killed or In
lured Through carelessness. .
Never Water Immediately After Feed

Ry GEORGE II. GLOVER, Colorado

Many horses are killed and many
more are injured by careless feeding

Never water q horse Immediately
after feeding grain. This washes the
grain through the stomach before II
is properly mixed with the stomach
juices and is liable to cause collie. II
is safer to water the horse before

for the first few swallows.
When horses are brought in hot
from their work they should first be
given water cautiously and then fed

to exercise their own judgment In
the selection of their feed.

COMFORTABLE BED FOR HOGS
Best 70 Use just Enough Bedding to
Keep Animals Warm and Change
II at Least Weekly.

Hogs should be comfortably bedded.
but it Is best to use just enough bed
ding to keep them warm, and to
change it once or twice week. Where
large quantity Of bedding is sup
piled it becomes damp underneath,
causing rheumatism; and dusty on top,
giving the hogs dry, hacking cough
Both dust and dampness are opposed
to thrift.
When hogs are not supplied with
plenty OF comfortable bedding in cold
weather. they pile on top of each other
to keep warm. In this way the under
ones become heated, and when they
get out into the cold air are easily
attacked by pneumonia and rheuma-
tism. If the attack is not sufficient
to kill them. it makes them unthrifty.
1t is best to allow only limited num-
Der of hogs to sleep together, and they
should have such shelter and bedding
that they can keep warm without be-
coming heated.

TURN OUT MILLIONS OF PIPES
Manufacturers In the United States
Supply Very Large Part OF
the Worlds Demand.

Over 100000 pipes are manufac-
tured annually in the United States.
The wooden pipe is probably more
distinctly national than any which
finds its way into the market. Rang
ing in between the aristocratic meer-
schaum and the plebeian clay, it is
rarely expensive, while at the same
time its manufacture calls into exist
ence a considerable industry. The
roots of the mountain laurel and rho
dodendron are most generally used for
pipe making, they being selected for
the purpose on account of their du-
rability, hardness and the light polish
which they are capable of taking. They
are found throughout the southern
states generally-the best material is
said to come from North Carolina and
is sent to the market in large pieces,
which vary in size from that of a
mans fist to the dimensions of good
sized key. The material costs from
$40 to $50 per ton, the price depend
ing upon the quality of the wood. In adj
dition to the domestic material used
in pipe making, immense quantities of
brier root blocks are shipped into this
country annually from southern
France and Italy.-Scientific Amer

FOUR CORNERS TO HUSBAND
They are Ability, Reliability, Endur-
ance and Action, Would-Ee
Wives Are Informed.

Girls of today would make better
and more practical marriages II they
were taught to study the qualifications
Of the men they meet and to consider
them in the same light as they do al
zebra problems at school, was the
statement made by Mrs. Frank De-
chant at the Parents association
meeting in the school OF practice at
Philadelphia.
/. Mrs Dechant drew a square on the
blackboard, its four corners indicating
what, she said, were the four neces-
sary ad1uncts to good husband
ability, reliability, endurance and ac-
ton. To discover whether a man has
these qualifications. she declared, was
the problem every girl has to solve at
least once in her lifetime, and she
should be as carefully trained for 1t as
she IL for her school examinations.
She advocated mothers talking over
with their daughters the characteris-
tics Of the young men they knew, not
only to gain their opinions on the sub
ject, but to give. advice and counsel to
them for their future life.
Every girl, she said, should be sure
that the man she chooses has an
abundance OF the four qualifications
before she makes up her mind to mar
~ him, and she can only be sure II
she has been taught and trained be-
forehand in 9 calm. dispassionate man
ner.
She also advocated talks on home
making, division of income and prac-
teal methods Of housekeeping as a
part Of all girls education, whether
they are working girls or not.
