Villa Slips Away Unhurt

from the Mexican troops that
had checked him near Namiqui-
pa and three columns of Ameri-
can cavalry are pursuing him.
Already they are almost ESQ
miles south of the border and
unless Mexican forces bring the
elusive bandit to a stand, this
distance will be greatly increas.
ed by the close of the week.
Villas success IN extricating
himself from the dangerous posi-
ticn into which he had been
driven by the American punitive
force was related in detailed
report by General Pershing that
reached General Funston here
today.
General Funston forwarded
the report to Washington with
out making public any but the
essential features.
Colonel Dodd is commanding
the advanced columns that are
riding hard after Villa and his
men and General Pershing has
divided his forces so as to pro-
vide supporting columns along
the thinly stretched lines of COM
munication from his most ad-
vanced base at FL Valle.
Three aeroplanes are at Ell
Vale and will be used in scout
ing as soon as the high winds
that have been sweeping that
part of Mexico for almost a
week subside. These winds,
according to General Pershing,
have made effective assistance
by the aeroplanes impossible.
Unless fresh Mexican forces
are sent to meet Villa, there ap-
pears no reason why he should
not make his way uninterrupted
into the mountains of the Guer.
rero district towards which he
appears to be moving.
Once there it is conceded his
capture will be difficult, and
should he choose to pass through
the district on into the south
there are trails over which he
might move his little army until
a juncture is made with one OF
more Of his rowing organizations
in southern Chihuahua or north.
ern Durango.
If Villa moves into the dis,
tricts further south more troops
will be necessary to capture him
and their provisioning by way
of country roads will become
practically an impossibiIily.
She always demanded instant
and unquestioning obedience
from her children. One after
noon a storm came up and she
sent her little son John to close
the trap leading 10 the flat roof
of the house.
But, molher," began John.
John, | told you to shut the
trap"
"Yes; but. mother"
John, shut that trap"
"All right, mother, if you say
so-but-"
"John!"
Whereupon John slowly
climbed the stairs and shut the
trap. Four hours later the fami-
lv gathered for dinner, but Aunt
Mary, who was staying with the
mother, did not appear. The
mother did not have to ask
many questions. John answer
ed the first one:
Mother, she is on the roof"

straw bagging on it was sold on
this market last Friday. Pine
straw bagging was plentiful in
1889 and 1890 when the jute bag
ging trust was successfully
fought. None of the pine straw
bagging has been seen on cot
ton here in years until the bale
wrapped in it was marketed last
Friday. There was a pine straw
bagging factory near Whining
ton. but none of that kind of
covering for cotton bales has
been made since 1890.
Considerable quantity of liquor
is being sold here. No, we have
not seen any of it sold and
would be very poor witness for
the State if anyone was indicted
for selling booze, but anybody
knows that it is not artesian
water that is having such effect
on 'em. The corn likker" that is
being sold here may be made of
concentrated lye, soap, mill feed
and molasses, but a man told us
that the stopper is always pure
corn cob.
There was anything but bull
time in police circles here last
Saturday and Saturday night.
Fourteen arrests were made and
Saturday afternoon there were
three scraps in rapid succession
on the streets. Boozing, gam
bling and scrapping kept the
cops on the 20. No, we are
not Dragging about it-just tell
ing about it. 1t is a mighty bad
state of affairs when policemen
are buster than other citizens
and it is the raw and unvarnish.
ed truth tuat such was the case
here last Saturday. While bust
ness was fairly good that day,
nobody did's big business.
1t is not generally known that
Helena, Ark, is named for a
lady whose father went from
this county and that Phillips
county, of which Helena is the
seat. was named for former
citizen of Union county. These
are the facts. Some time prior
to 1900 Sylvanus Phillips went
from Jackson township to the
Arkansas territory. He located
in Arkansas county, very large
county, and in 1918 he was rep
resentative from his county in
the legislature of the territory.
That legislature made a new
county from a part of Arkansas
county and as Representative
Phillips lived in the portion of
his county which was laid off
for a new county they named
the county for him. MIR. Phil
lips had the honor of naming the
county seat and he named it for
his daughter, Helena.
Col. H. G. Hotchkiss died at
his home in Buford township
last Tuesday morning about 4
o'clock. Col. Hotchkiss came
to Buford township. this county,
about 80 years ago. He was a
native of New York State and
first came South as prospector
for gold and located at the Fun
derburk mine in Lancaster coun-
ty where he lived four or five
years. He operated a gold mine
at Allan for several years and
then went to the Dixie gold
mine in South Carolina where
he lived for two or three years,
and then he returned to Allan.
in Buford township, where he
engaged in farming and lived
there until his death.
Col, Hotchkiss was a, Federal
soldier during the Civil war and
his title was not q mere honor

Start Now to Have a Good
Permanent Pasture

repeat it here, that no man can
really do the best of farming
without good permanent pas
ture. Some livestock are ne
cessity on every farm. and no
livestock can be kept most econ
omically unless there is plenty
of pasturage.
Spring is the season for plan
ming and making good perman-
ent pastures. and the wise farm
er will see to it that this prob
lem gets his immediate attention.
The correct location or the pas
ture is of importance. and as a
rule this should be adjoining the
BARNARD, in easy access of all
the farm animals. Its area, of
course. must be determined by
the number and kind of live
stock kept.
In 80 per cent of all the Cot
ton Belt we believe the basis of
the permanent pasture should
be Bermuda grass. 1t is adopted
to verv wide range of soil and
climatic conditions. loves hot
weather, and is nutritious. The
turf may be planted at nearly
any time, though for best results
we would plant from April to
June. Seed may be used for
planting where the turf is not
easily obtainable, AS summer.
growing complement to Bermu-
da, lespeceza should have a
place in every Southern pasture.
lhough an annual, it reseeds it.
self each fall and thus is perma.
nent.
Then to furnish winter and
early spring grazing bur and
white clover should be sowed
on the Bermuda. White clover
is a perennial and bur clover,
though an annual, reseeds itself
when once started. A combina-
ton of these four grazing plants
will, we believe, be found suited
to a wider range of conditions
and have greater adaptation to
our needs than any other.
In establishing a pasture let us
not ever forget, either, that the
better treatment we give it the
greater returns it will give us.
A quilted hillside is not a pas
ture, nor is woods with fence
around it. The pasture, rightly
handled, is place for growing
crops of grasses and clovers, and
the better our methods in pas
ture-making the greater the re.
turns will be. Dressings of.
ground limestone, one or two
tons per acre, will be found prof
liable on most of our pastures,
as will 500 to 1000 pounds per
acre of ground phosphate rock
once every three or four years.
Even more profitable will it
be to see 10 it that our pastures
are growing grasses and clovers
instead of weeds and bushes.
The successful cotton farmer
does not let weeds over-run his
crop; why should he let weeds,
brlerS and bushes take his pas
ture? For the larger grubs and
bushes a grubbing hoe or mat
took, persistently used, will be ol-
fective; for the smaller obnoxi-
Gus weeds, the moving machine
is an excellent remedy. Don't
ever let the weeds go to seed,
and the pasture will soon be free
of them.

Has No Hope For A
Short Campaign

Columbus, N. NJ, March 26.-
"A speedy termination of the
American expedition into Mexi-
co is not looked for by General
Pershing, commander of the
forces in the field, according to
advices received here tonight.
1t is asserted that following a
staff conference General Per-
shlng announced that the peo-
pie Of the United States should
not place too much confidence
in reports that Francisco Villa,
the faCtional leader, whose COM
mand attacked this town sever
al weeks ago, had Been bottled
up either by American forces or
by Mexican troops. The nature
OF the country it was pointed out
renders it difficult for any force
to surround effectually a small
band in the mountain passes
with almost impossible trails Of
terlng a means of escape.
While ii was understood that
General PerShing does not at
tempt to predict the length of
time American troops may be
in Mexican territory, it was init
mated that the period may ex-
tend into months.

The City Council met in regular session last evening with all the members present except Councilman Erickson. The regular order of busi- ness was transacted. including the ordering paid of several bills.
 The Town Treasurer, E. G.

After some discussion it was deter mined to commence the payment of the outstanding warrants where the last council had left off, leaving the earlier warrants until such time as more funds were available.
