WASHINGTON AWAITING
NEWS on VILLA DEATH

Confirmation OF the death OF Fran
cisco villa still is lacking, both at
the state and war departments, and
at the Mexican embassy.
The only dispatch from American
sources IN Mexico tending to lend col
or TO the report was brief statement
from Major Hoze OF the Eleventh cav
airy near Parral. that he had infor-
nation which led him 10 believe that
the bandit and a small party OF his
followers had fled some days ago from
San Borja, which IL close to the place
where unofficial Mexican reports say
the body was found.
The outstanding feature OF messages
from the border were reports to the
war department that six Mexicans
who confessed to having taken part
In the raid on Columbus. n. NJ, had
been captured and sent to Columbus
for trial by the New Mexico state
authorities.

BEWARE TURNIP-RAPE SEED.
Farmers Cautioned Not TO Buy It
Department viii Examine Samples.

Two hundred thousand pounds of
approximately $4,000 acres, have been
imported from Argentina and Japan
and are being sold as winter rape.
The seed specialists OF the depart
ment of agriculture therefore, are
again cautioning farmers to avoid the
purchase and seeding of turnip-rape
which is not winter rape and is not
suitable for the forage purposes for
which winter rape is grown.
The seeds of turnip rape are smaller
and have more deeply pitted surface
than those OF winter rape. The young
plants are easily distinguished by the
difference in habit of growth and the
character and color Of the leaves.
Winter rape produces a definite stem,
with the leaves occurring along II at
intervals. Turnip rape does no. pro
duce a definite stem, the leaves all
growing in an APPARENT whorl at the
surface of the ground. The leaves OF
winter rape are thick and succulent
free from hairs. and covered with a
srayish bloom. The leaves OF turnip
rape are thin, hairy and bright green
like those of the garden turnip.
Persons purchasing rape seed may
Jbmi, samples TO the Seed Laboratory
Of the department for determination
as to whether the seed is that OF turniI
rape or winter rape. Samples OF botf
turnip rape and winter rape seed, fol
comparison, will be sent on applica
ion 10 the Seed Laboratory.

ARBOR DAY OBSERVED AT
CEDAR RIDGE SCHOOL
Fine Community Spirit Shown in
Beautifying School Grounds.

Nearly all the men in the Cedar
Ridge school district gathered at the
school house Monday and planted
forty trees on the school graunds.
The trees were of four varieties,
black locusts, white ash, Norway ma
pie and silver maple. The planting
was done with the greatest care. Holes
were bored to hardpan, which In that
locality is quite thick. A half stick
of dynamite was exploded in each
hole, pulverizing the hardpan and
loosening the ground for a consider
able distance. The ground was then
firmed and built into a cone shaped
foundation for the tree to rest upon.
A thick mud bath was provided into
which the roots were placed a short
time before planting. This was made
by filling a tub a third full of water
and stirring in soil until thick mud
was produced. After being given a
bath the trees were set in the holes
the heavy roots to windward, and the
tree slightly inclined in that direc.
tion. Enough mud adhered to the
roots to exclude the air and make
packing of the soil around the roots
an easy matter. The crown was
placed about on a level with thu
ground and the soil heaped up abou
the tree.
The trees were secured from tn,
University Of Idaho at q cost Of abou
four cents each. They were a fin
lot. Four were left when planting
was finished, and it was decided t,
put them up for auction. and bids a
high as 40 cents each were made.
Cedar Ridge people show a spends
community spirit in everything the
undertake. There are not many G
them, but the team work done ca
hardly be improved upon, and the
get things done. Their example is
good one to follow.

SUGAR THE IDEAL FOOD.
Children Should BE Well Supplied
Grownups Need II for Stimulant.

DIR. Brady, an eminent authority,
has the following to say about sugar:
Pure candy ought to be marketed
at cost by the w. c. T. U. II Is a
great foe OF old King Alcohol. Let
man keep box OF candy In his
desk or handy by his work bench, to
nibble on when he is tired, and he
won't crave drink OF beer or whiskey
all he'll want is water.
The United States authorities ship
tons OF candy to the Philippines to be
sold through the canteens to the SOL
diers. II satisfies the soldiers need
OF an easily digested, quickly avail
able carbohydrate food, and so makes
vino" unnecessary to his welfare.
There are some people--and they
are usually to be found In the rural
communities still insist upon
the imaginary relation between candy
or sugar and worms" And, what Is
worse, there are parents so benighted
as to believe these old fishwife yarns
and restrict the quantity OF sweets In
the childrens bill OF fare. We cannot
reiterate too often that fact that sug-
ar Is the child's most natural food
more than half of the solid matter In
milk is sugar. Sugar Ii tonic TO the
heart, IN the sense that II supplies
quickly available muscular energy to
that organ. Sugar Is muscle food
II there Is such thing. II Is there
fore essential In a childs diet, par
ticularly an active, hard-playing child
And certainly there Is no more di-
gestible, nor more apetizing, nol
more balanced meal In the whole
category OF dietetics than slice o.
good home-baked bread, spread viii
quarter inch OF butter or oleomar
garine, and smoothed with lik'
thickness OF the crudest grade o
, brown sugar. No child could coDsum'
, too much OF such food for gods.
1 As for feeding the children candy
. there are two important rules TO bea
g in mind: % II must be pure candy
A not adulterated with poisonous dye'
yarnish, plaster-of-parls, coal-tar, fla
I vors and the like Jimcracks ruin
( child's health. (2) II must be give
;. in the course OF or following regula
y meals, not at any and all hours.
@ these rules are followed, only goo
4 can come from feeding the youngstei
= candy.
:. II is very significant II not sinh
,e ter, that the free lunch counter pr
= sents nearly every variety OF food b'
,e candy Somehow the booze empo
> lums, like the "old women" have II
n tie use for the food that Kills u

n. The usual cause OF any digesti'
,e disturbance which develops after ca
Ie ing candy is either the adulteratit

The New Poet and His Poetry.

You may not like the way the new
poet is solving his problems as com
pared with the way Tennyson and
Browning solved theirs, but, after all,
poetry is poetry. Even when it is not
poetry to those who read, il it has
been poetry to those who wrote it, it
is not worthless, for it has fulfilled to-
ward at least one human creature it's
true function Of freeing the spirit.
The genuine thing in poetry, under
any guise, is forever justified, forever
triumphant. Open-mindedness toward
the new poetry, then, benefits us. We
cannot afford to patronize or ignore
any possible source of poetry, because
poetry, like art, has become too much
an exotic in modern life. It is today
completely detached from our affairs.
The new poets specifically recognize
this condition and offer rather pitiful-
ly, different remedies, so much less
deep-seated than the disease that one
can hardly expect their success.-Cor-
nelia A. P. Comber. in Atlantic.

About the Duck.

A little schoolgirl in Michigan has
written the following essay on the
duck: The duck is a low, heavy-set
bird. He is q mighty poor singer hav-
Ing coarse voice caused by getting
so many frogs in his neck and he likes
the water and carries a toy balloon
in his stomach to keep from sinking
the duck has only two legs and they
are set so far back on his running
gears by nature that they come pretty
near missing his body some ducks
when they get big curls on their tails
are called brakes and don't have to
set or hatch but just loaf and go swim
ming and eat everything in sight if
were to be e duck I would rather be a
drake they have wide bill they
use it for a spade they walk like a
drunk man they bounce and bump
about from side to side if you scare
them they will flap their wings and
try to make a pass at singing.-Detroit
