THE TROOPS or MExIco's FIRST
CHIEF FORCE BANDIT LEAD
Err TO CLASH.
BATTLE At NAM|QU|PA
De FAcTo TROOPERS RUSHED
INTO JuAREz AFTER PERMIT.
TING OUTLAWS TO PASS.

Western Newspaper Union News Service
Ell Paso. Tex, March 22.-The forces
of Col. Cano were engaged in battle at
4:30 Monday afternoon with bandits
led by Villa, in Numiquipa. according
to dispatch received by Gen. Gavira,
Carranza commandant at Juarez.
The result of the fighting was not
decided at the time OF the receipt of
the dispatch. Namiquipa is in the dis
trict of Guerrero, state of Chihuahua.
Col. Cano Is In command of force
of 900 cavalry and came in contact
two days ago at El Vale with Villistas
who fled without giving battle. A dis
patch from. San Antonio says Gen.
Funston announced the positions of
three columns OF the expeditionary
force as follows: The first moving
southwark from Casss Grandes toward
Babricora; the secopd moving south
east towards Ell yalle, and the third
towards Carmen.
Villa was reported ITO have been de-
feated by Carranza troops at Cruces
and to be on his way north towards
FL Vale.
A feature of the gravest Importance
was injected into the border situation
by substantial confirmation of the nu-
merous reports received last week
that the Carranzistas not only were
failing to cooperate with the Ameri-
can troops but In certain instances at
least actually were Withdrawing from
the field of operations The Associ-
ated Press learned ton unquestionable
authority that the troops OF the de
facto government winch had been sta
toned at Casas Grandes have been
withdrawn and are now in and about
Juarez. From the same source 1t was
learned that at least one detachment
Of Carranza troops had refused to
tight villa and had Withdrawn on tho
bandits approach. This detachment
withdrew on receipt Of message that
he was warning not on Mexicans but
the enemies OF Mexicans.
The extraordinary rapidity with
which the American cavalry pushed
into Mexico gave rise to high hopes
that the unexpected had happened ana
the notorious bandit was cornered.
This seemed inevitable, if the Carran-
"a soldiers did their part, and if the
account OF the strength OF their field
forces was correct villa, cut off from
the north by the forward sweep of the
American columns, from the west by
the Sierra Madres barring the ap-
proaches to the state Of Sonora. was
supposed to be equally barred from
east and south by powerful Carranza
forces.
The reason for the Carranza troops
moving to the border remains unex-
planned It is impossible even to make
a fair estimate Of the number of men
under Gen. Gavira at Juarez. The
large staff at his headquarters and the
fact that new troops are arriving daily
indicate that his force is large one.
The most conservative estimate places
it at 5000. and calculations range from
that point upward to 5000.
Columbus, N. M.-Six biplanes Of
the First Aero squadron. under the
command Of Capt. Foulois, arrived

HIGH PRICES
GOOD CROPS
And Good Demand for All Farm
Products.

Il 10 no new experience for settlers
socated In . fertile country such ~
Western Canada, where lands may be
bought at very reasonable prices. to
harvest crop that in one season pays
the entire cost Of their farm. Undoubt-
edly this was tho experience of many
farmers during 1915. but one instance
may be quoted. A settler who came
TO Canada from the United States
some years ago decided to add to his
holdings by buying an adjoining quar-.
at $1,000 an acre, with terms spread
over period Of years. He got the
land into q good state Of cultivation
and last spring put the whole quarter
section in wheat. When the crop was
threshed he found that 1t only took
half the wheat on the farm to pay the
whole purchase price of It; in short
. single years crop paid the cost of
the land. paid all the expenses of op-
Grafton and left him a handsome sur
plus as profit. This settler had some
adjoining land. and his whole wheat
crop for the season amounted to
over $4,000 bushels. He is now plan.
ming to obtain some sheep and invest
his profits in live stock which will as.
sure him good living irrespective Of
what the season may happen to be.
Canada's financial position is ex-
cellent. All speculation has been elm.
mated. and trading is done on cash
basis. with restricted credit.
Detailed figures Of Canada's trade
for twelve months ending October 81
show how the war is forcing Canadian
trade into new channels. One Of the
most extraordinary changes is in COM
merce with the United States. A
couple of years ago Canada imported
from the United States two or three
hundred million dollars worth OF
goods more than she exported. The
balance Of trade was all with the
United States. The balance Is rapid
ly disappearing. and the present out
look is that by the end of this year
Canada will have exported to the
United States more than she has i'm
ported.
The figures for the past four years
are Illuminating. They are as fol-

of the national guard association for
liberalization of state troops was be-

The maximum number of troops
provided for the bill is 500 for
each congressional district or total
peace strength Of 100000, an increase
Of 7O,0OO.over the present strength Of
the national guard. They would form
a separate branch of the regular army
in time of war when called into fed
eral service. The act would take ef-
feet July /, 1916. -.-. ....
The bill provides for an organiza-
ton of a junior guard, composed of

day was record attendance-the high
est point being reached in the history
OF the Sunday school. There were 276
present as compared with 270 the Sun
day previous. The offering was $1,000.
There were four perfect classes and 20
new scholars enrolled. Williston with
a perfect day had an attendance of 266
and an offering of 1883. There were
four perfect classes and enrolment Of
nine new scholars.
A new class was organized Sunday
in the Valley City school with Mrs. Nc
Mullen as the teacher. This will bet
ter accommodate the increasing mum.

An interesting debate occurred in
the Century class Sunday in connec-
ton with the lesson. The question of
our national preparedness was the sub
ject. There were strong arguments
brought forth on both sides. The mat
ter will be further discussed at the
meeting next Sunday noon. This is a
live class of young men from 16 to rs
years of age. The young men of the

Big Demand This Year ..
for North Dakota Ignite

Wilton, N. D., Feb. 11.-North Dako'
ta's vast deposits Of Ignite coal have
been the means of averting fuel ia
mine in many parts of the state dur
ing the severe weather OF the past six
weeks. The various mines operating
within the boundaries of the common.
wealth have been veritable beehives
of industry and the large force Of min
ers are working day and night to fill
the orders, being unable in many in
stances to supply the demand.
The coal from Wilton's famous mine
is being shipped to all parts of North
Dakota and the output for the present
season will undoubtedly be the larg-
est in the history of the states pre-
mier industrial institution.
Only those in close touch with the
fuel situation in North Dakota can
realize the great benefit derived from
having such a we'll equipped and up
to-date mine as is being operated at
Wilton by the Washburn Ignite Coal
company. With an output of 100000
tons annually, the Wilton mine is sup
plying the people of North Dakota
with more than a third of the native
fuel mined in the entire state and dur
ing the extremely cold weather of De-
cember and January, has shipped close
to $4,000 tons Of Ignite.
Being located near the center of the
state and on two lines of railroad, the
operators of the Wilton mine are able
to ship Ignite to the hundreds of deal
ers scattered in the various towns Of
North Daokta, with less difficulty than
most of the coal companies are ex-
periencing.
Plans are already on foot to increase
the capacity of the local mine and with
an unlimited amount of coal at their
disposal, the officials anticipate good
business for many years to come.

hand at basket ball ard volley ball and
various athletic stunts. George Fridd
proved to be the supple one, surprising
the crowd with his contortions. After
an enjoyable time passed here the

and the next one, to be held in two
weeks, is looked forward to with much

ing up the conservation of babies?
Here are some facts: During 1913,
1884 babies under two years of age
died in Chicago. The health depart
ment estimates that 80 per cent of
these deaths were preventable. Six
thousand one hundred and fifty-f1ve
babies died who might have grown up
into good citizens. Six thousand one
hundred and fifty-fve inhabitants
make large-sized town. When we
estimate this in national figures. the
amount makes disasters like Pelee
and Messina shrink into insignifcance.
Out of every five deaths in the United
States last year one was a baby under
one year old. Unenforced birth regis

one-quarter of million babies under

Joint Meeting Of
Two Active Clubs

The joint meeting Of the NeighbOrly
Study club with their guests, the mem.
bers of the Sheyenne club, Monday
afternoon at the home of Mrs. w. 0.
Boughton, in the Sheyenne apart
'ments, was very delightful occasion.
The rooms were daintily decorated in
keeping with the ST. Valentine season
and the program provided for the aft
ernoon was one of interest to all.
Miss Tillson gave a very interesting
and instructive address on various
kinds of mending, illustrating her dis
cussion of the subject by number Of
samples Of work done in such man
ner as to excite the admiration of all
present. Promptly at o'clock Pro-
fessor Wemett appeared and without
any loss of time he began his discus.
sion of the Federal Banking System.
In order that all might fully appreciate
the new banking laws, Mr.. Wemett
thought it wise to show the need of a
banking reformation which the coun-
try had felt prior to the passage of
the law which put into force the pres
ent regulations. In a very able and
interesting manner he sketched the
entire history of the United States
banking system, pointing out the de-
fects in the system which for so many
years-since 1863 until 1913-had OBJ
tanned in this country. He called at
tention to the fact that whereas that
system was originated in time Of
emergency caused by the Civil war
and served we'll to safeguard the
money of each depositor, yet it was
not at all suitable for rapidly grow
ing nation like ours in that it lacked
elasticity and also that it resulted in
the keeping of immense sums of
money in Wall street for the purpose
of stock exchange gambling, while,
especially at time when the country
was blessed with bountiful crop and
required money for the harvesting
thereof, cash could not be obtained
when the need was the most urgent.
He carefully explained the new sys.
TEN, pointing out it's advantages.
At the close of his address, Mr..
Wemett was kept busy for some time
in answering questions, and then the
remainder of the afternoon was spent
in a social manner, while the hostess,
assisted by Mrs. Henry Nelson and
Mrs. Clyde Smith, served delicious re-
freshments, in all of which the Valen-
tine idea was carried out.
The next meeting of the Neighborly
Study club will be at the home of Mrs.
James Algeo Feb. %, when the regu-
lar. domestic science lesson will be
taken up, followed by discussion of
the commission form of city govern
ment by Mrs. w. NJ. Greenwood, and
on the mayor and city council plan,
by Mrs. Henry Nelson. ~.-, v~-r-.ve.
