Rock Island Argus. (Rock Island, Ill.) 1893-1920, 1916-03-20

Washington, March 20.-General
Carranza has formally protested
against American troops occupying
Casas Grandes In their pursuit of Villa
and the American government has re-
piled that the troops have been Or
dered especially not to occupy Casas
Grandes or any other towns or cities
In Mexico
The protest and reply were included
IN an exchange of notes between act
ing Secretary Polk of the state de-
partment and EIiseo Arredondo,
ambassador designated to the United
States from Mexico.
After a conference early today be-
tween President Wilson and Mr..
Polk it became known that Mr.. Polk
IN note forwarded to Mexico yes
terday said instructions had been sent
TO General Funston to keep his troops
away from all towns.
The state department today had not
received a reply from the request
sent TO Carranza for the use Of Mex
lean railroads IN transporting sup
plies 10 the expeditionary force.
In urging the use of Mexican rail-
roads for that purpose it has been
pointed out to the Carranza govern
ment that similar permission was
granted Carranza troops for the use
Of railroads in the United States last
year.
Realize Carranza's Position.
The administration realizes fully
the difficulty of General Carranza's
position, because Of feeling in Mex
leo, for that reason. every effort is
being made by the state department
TO disseminate in Mexico the infor-
nation that the United States had no
motives Of aggression in sending
troops across the border. Following
Out the same policy the American
troops now in Mexico have been CIV
en- instructions to be careful in deal
ings with Mexicans generally. All acts
which might be construed as often
siYe to the Mexican population are
to be avoided.
Generally, reports from Mexico to-
Gay were optimistic In character.
General Carranza, 1t was learned
today had been urged by some OF his
closest advisors to offer large re-
ward for the apprehension Of Villa

WILL BE DISCUSSED

Savannah, July PA special
meeting of the agricultural COM
mittee of the Board of Trade, of
which County Commissioner A.
B. Moore is chairman, has been
called for this afternoon by Sup
erintendent Thomas Purse to take
up the question of combining ag-
riculture with the country schools.
Superintendent Of Schools C. B.
Gibson will be present at the
meeting.
The committee will discuss
with Mr.. Gibson the question
from all phases to find if it is feas-
IDLE, and if it is, how it can be.ac-
complished. There are a number
of landholders throughout the
county who would donate FIVE
acres to school to be used for
agricultural purposes, it is stated,
and if the plan is found to be fea-
sible, an effort will probably be
made to interest these.

Be WISER, NOT SAD
Here's the Story Of a MoSsback
Who Was Stubborn.
Your Help Needed In Teaching This
Community Dangers From Flies
Which Spread Disease.

Once there was man In this town
who thought the germ idea was "all
bunk" He declared up and down that
1t was q fad of the doctors and
scheme to scare people out of their
wits and make money playing on their
fears. He is wiser than he was nine
years ago, but the lesson was expen-
sive and sad--he lost one of his chill
dren with scarlet fever because he
thought the disease wasn't catching.
This is an enlightened community,
but there are still lot of people here
who pooh-pooh all the fuss we're max
Ing about the fly danger. They ieer
and insist it's the work of bunch of
slick doctors and fool women who
ought to be home minding their babies.
You would be surprised at the number
Of mossbacks who think this fly talk
is "all bunk" too. A mossback is all
right until he becomes danger TO the
health of the neighborhood by his stub
born ignorance in refusing to help
wipe out the sources OF disease and
exterminate disease carriers.
Make 1t your business to convert the
mossbacks and get them into the army
that is to wage war on the whole fly
tribe here this summer. Once they are
on our side" they will be valuable
lighters because OF their stubbornness.

TAKE THESE PRECAUTIONS
One Of Our Townswomen Tells
How She Rid Her Home OF
Fly Pest Last Summer.

The thoughtful husband and wife
take great pride in the fact that few
flies are TO be seen about their home
during the summer. 1t should be the
proud boast of every family in this
town. for the absence OF flies indicates
a clean and healthful home place.
We were discussing recently the
proposition of local campaign against
flies with one Of the best known WON
en- In this community.
'T will be glad to help in every way
possible" she declared, "and I'm sure
that If we all work together we can
reduce the amount of disease so per
cent here this summer-especially
summer complaint among children and
typhoid fever among the men and
women.
do you know we had hardly any
flies around our place last summer?
OF course. it was cool summer, but
believe our efforts to be free of flies
had much to do with their absence.
I'VE screened the house early. We
hung two fly traps near the kitchen
door close to the garbage can. We put
one trap at the door opening from the
dining room into the side yard. We
burned most of the garbage-peelings
and things We had the manure hauled
away every Saturday morning. And
we used plenty of disinfectant around
the outhouse. It wasn't much trouble
once we got the habit"

GIVES HER DIVORCE AND JOB
After Granting Decree Asked For
Judge Takes interest in De-
serted Woman.

Mrs. Augusta Blackledge got q di
vorce and a job on the same day
through the offices of Superior judge
Graham. After testifying that her
husband. John Blackledge, a clerk
had deserted her year ago, she SO
cured an interlocutory decree.
When the Judge questioned her as
to her finances, she said she had just
six dollars, and would have one dollar
left after paying the court stenog
rapher his fees.
"If that's the case, there will be nc
stenographer's fees in this case de
clared the court. Stenographer Roy
Gallagher willingly consented. Some

Blackledge was notified that employ

learn how many bacteria the average
fly carried away from the slop bar
rel, the hog pen, the COW stable and
the house. The investigation was
thorough and nothing was left to guess

100000 germs; the hog-pen fly car
ried little less than one million; the
constable fly carried only about AGO.

that number, or $4,000.

garbage if you can do so practically.
Otherwise drain it and wrap it in pa

Some day we shall come to look on
the fly in the same light we now look
on bedbugs and body lice. The fly is
filthier than these other vermin. He
is born in filth, lives in it, feeds on it,
carries it and spreads it on our food.
Don't take any chances. Screen
your house carefully. Destroy all ex.

Brave Docs Honored.

The hall of brave dogs was the
most fascinating exhibit" at dog
show, held in London, recently. There
are ten of those hero dogs on view on
a wide stand draped with purple hang
ings, the observed of all observers
One called Sammy" is the greatest
hero. He is a pleasant-faced, kindly
retriever. A year ago the lady who
owns him was lying i'll in bed, and
alone in the house. She was awak-
ened by Sammy barking and licking
her face. The bed was on fire. She
was dazed and half unconscious, and
she most certainly would have died
had not her faithful dog dragged her
out of bed and so out of danger. Five
years before this she was attacked
In Epping Forest by wandering luna
tic. The brave Sam. who was rowing
near by on the quest Of rabbits, heard
his mistress cries, dashed up, collared
the madman, and held him by the
throat until assistance arrived.
