LOCAL COMMENT


The Marshall OH company leads of
with $4,000 worth of building. The
Lennox Furnace company will join the
ranks of progress this summer with a
new foundry and warehouse. Each
year brings with it steady advance
ment and expansion among the insti-
buttons which make up city.
The committee charged with the
duty of a new Baptist college to be
created in Iowa and to include the as
sets Of. the two schools which have
heretofore been located at Des Moines
and Pella will visit Marshalltown
Monday. A committee appointed by
President Wilbur, Of the Marshalltown
club, will meet the visitors and pilot
them about the city. If Marshalltown
should be chosen 1t would be the
climax Of her recent activities for a
college which would educate from 500
to 1000 young people every year.
would do more for the intellectual up
lift and commercial development of
our city than any institution that
could come to us. Five hundred stud
ents would spend a quarter of a mil
lion of dollars in the town each year
for living expenses. They would come
from 800 other towns or farms and
would do more or less shopping here
for the folks at home. Four years in
Marshalltown would cause young peo-
pie to become attached to the place
and a goodly number would stay to
enter business here. In time Main
street would become dominated by
college men. The Marshalltown club
and the civic activities of the COM
munity would feel the energy of edu-
Gated men striving to live out the
ideals acquired from their college
training. A good college is an meal
culable asset to any town. May the
visiting committee be sufficiently i'm
pressed.
The parents who have children in
the Rogers school are trying to organ
ize for the improvement of the school
grounds for play ground. The first
thing necessary is for the school board
to induce the city council to close the
alley which now divides the school
grounds. There are more alleys in
that block than are needed for traffic
and an alley is devoted to better
public service when given over to the
youngsters than when it is kept for
the sole use of Il few coal wagons. Let
that alley be closed to traffic and then
let the play grounds be improved on
Il plan which shall contemplate many
years of service.
The new motor club starts out
hravely with Il membership that is
worth while. About all there is for

Yeats said that there was grave I'M
rest in Chihuahua and q rising tide Of
hostility against Americans but that
there had been no actual outbreak.
AS far as FL Paso is concerned inter
est seems about equally divided be-
tween events in the interior of Mexico
and the wild alarms over the border
situation which seem to lie away each
morning only to revive to renewed life
and vigor every nightfaH. These
alarms were given impetus last night
when it was learned that two COM
panies of he 18th infantry had been
ordered to report to the police head
quarters in full marching order. At
ter having been kept at the police sta
ton for a short time they were sent
to the court house where they passed
the night. At the same time the mil
ftary patrols on the streets were en-
forced. No explanation would be Civ
en~of these measures and it was i'm
possible to learn if there was any fear
of an outbreak either here or in Jua-
reg. The officers, refused to discuss
the matter and the soldiers said they
only knew that they had orders to
march and knew no more than anyone
else where they were going or why.
The movement that was started yes
terday by federal officials to put a,
stop to sensational reports being sent
from here regarding local conditions
gathered force today when the city
council took up the consideration of
an ordinance to fine any person or
corporation who sends out untrue re-.
ports calculated to injure the city.
The federal officials have protested to
the state department at washington.
and have advised the imposition of a
censorship. The ordinance in the city
council was drafted by Mayor Tom
Lea, following the publication Of a
story in an outside newspaper that Ell
Paso was in a practical state Of an,

It provides for a, fine of $500 for any
individual, firm or any corporation

NEW HAVEN TEACHERS
SEEK BETTER SALARIES

New Haven. March 25-A commit
tee of the teachers league handed to
the school board last night schedule
providing for increases in the compen-
sation for public school teachers. The
committee chairman, Miss Brennan, in
explaining the schedule claimed that
school teachers are paid less than
women engaged in business. Presi-
dent Blakeslee of the board took issue
with this statement, declaring that
business women do not average SIS
to SIS a week. Miss Merchant, of the
committee, replied that a woman in
business does not give up as much
mentally and physically as a teacher;
does not expend the same amount of
energy in the form of enthusiasm or
vitality, and does not require as much
force in disciplinary power.
Agitation for increased salaries for
teachers has attracted much attention
in this city.

ANNIVERSARIES
OF RING BATTLES

1904-Joe Cans defeated Jack
Blackburn in 8 rounds at Baltimore
This was the first time Blackburn had
suffered defeat, although the Kentucky
-colored boy had been scrapping good
fellows for several years and had
previously fought draws with Cans
Spike Sullivan, Sam Langford and
Jack (Twin) Sullivan. In 1905 Black
burn fought another draw with Lang
ford, and the following year he fought
fast rounds with Cans in Phi1adeI-
phia- He went along until 1909, fight
ing frequently, when he got mixed up
in a braw1 with some coIored gentry
He was charged with shooting a man
during the rookus and was convicted
and sent to prison, but was pardoned
the latter part of 1913. Since then he
has been travelling over America, meet
ing all corners, but owing to his color
he has had to be content with fighting
second-raters. Blackburn was one of
the best boxers in the country up to
the time of his imprisonment AL
though he never weighed over 145
pounds, he had tackled mtddleweights
and heavyweights, and he was never
knocked out and never defeated save
by Joe Cans. Blackburn was born in
Versailles, KY, and is SO years old.

Ell Paso, Tex, March 25.-The re-
iterated claim that Francisco Villa
was surrounded, made at Mexico City
early today in message received
there from General Luis Gutierrez,
Carranza's commandments, only
served to make the situation in the
field more puzzling from the viewpoint
of the border According to the tele-
grams from General >Berta111, made
public here by Consul Garcia, the
American columns are cooperating
with the Carranza forces and formed
part Of the circle drawn around the
bandit chief. General Gutierrez, how
ever, made no reference to General
Pershing's troops.
The most curious feature of the
whole situation, the question why Gen
eral Per5hing made no report on the
battles said to have been fought re-
manned unsolved. While the story of
the surrounding of Villa and his fol-
lowers might be dismissed as prema-
ture, it is known that the American,
columns have penetrated the territory
where the Villa bandits are operating
and word is eagerly awaited from
General Pershing of the first clash be-
tween the bandites and the troops of
the United States.
The veil of mystery which has
dropped over the operations around
Namiquipa was riva1ed by the con-
tinued insistence of the reports that
General Luis Herrera had turned his
arms against the de facto government.
The latest news to be brought here
from Chihuahua came with the ar
rival of Charles R. Yeats, an Ameri-
cam mining man who reached here.
from Chihuahua City on an early
morning train. Yeats said that Her
rera was, not in the Mexican state

Relief Committee
Thanks Contributors
To Aid of Jewish

Through the columns of the Farm
er the peoples relief committee wishes
to offer thanks and appreciation to
those that helped in making the Pur-
i'm Day collection for Jewish war
sufferers a success. The total col
lected was $224.25, which was for
warded to the main office in New
York from where it is distributed to
the countries suffering as a result of
European catastrophies.
The fund is divided in proportion
to the Jewish population of each coun-
try. Due to the depreciation of
European moneys on international
exchanges, every 25 cents of Ameri-
can value brings to the countries in
distress a sum that can buy the ne
cessities of life for one person for a
day.
At the party of Mr.. and Mrs. Co
hen, 705 Barnurn avenue, given in
honor of their newborn son, $16.50
was collected. At the party of Mr..
Feldman, 1886 was collected, and
at Mr.. Ratner's, 81. At wedding of
Mr.. and Mrs. Israel Ofshinsl1y of
Bunne1 street. $40 was donated.
