We believe in state aid for our
common schools but at the same
time we believe even more in
self-help. The neigh borhood
that is content to take what the
county and state may allot to it
will never have a good schonl :;
but the community that gets
what 1t can from county and
state and then vigorously work 8
for local taxation, consolidation
and community harmony and
corporation in everything per-
tanning to school improvement
Will soon be famed for it's good
schools, good teachers, and as
neighborhood in which it is
good to live. The Meridian Dis.
patch, in commenting on the
need for more interest in the
common schools, we'll says:
There is promise of better
things in the proposal to estab.
lish further consolidated rural
schools in LaHderdale County.
We have found our state falling
behind others in providing rural
schools and it is hopeless, appar-
emily, to depend upon q common
treasury for the funds to main
tain common schools. Every
community which organizes for
education strikes q blow at illit-
eracy and every dollar spenG in
equipment and teaching forces
is a dollar invested in better
citizenship"

COMMERCIAL CLUB CLOSES GOOD YEAR
WITH PROMISING OUTLOOK FOR 1911

The Commercial club has kept pace
with the city in its era of rapidly in
creasing prosperity in the past year
and has placed the last year on it's
books as one crowned with earned
success through it's achievements in
dustrially for Richmond and its prepa-
rations against the future by the
100000 factory fund campaign
Secretary Haas sees Richmond
closing year with a big credit in it's
favor. The year began with 500
empty houses and the largest manu-
featuring plant here was about to be
relegated to the scrap heap pile for
lack of industries to fill it's several
buildings. Today there is shortage
of houses, OF labor, and of industrial
buildings.
Club Lays Broad Foundation
Having assured the city's industrial
growth, the club has laid the founda-
tions for big year in 1917, when one
of it's chief activities will be the res
cue of Richmond's wholesale territory
from the hands of competing cities
into which it has fallen in past years
This will be accomplished by means
of a jobbers' section which has al
ready been organized and shortly will
have every wholesale dealer in Rich
mond on the membership books. The
jobbers will plan campaign Of ad-
vertising and of service soon. Rich

HUNT FOR VILLA
 E DELAYED
Hunt f1r Villa Will Not Start Until Border Is Protected: Campaign
 Is Outlined: To Guard Border.

Ssr Antonio. Tex. March 12.-Dis- trust ot the Carranza garrisons along the border and of the great number O. Mexicans living in the United Stat ns may delay the start of the Amerl- con expedition to hunt down Fran cisco Villa.
 : army officers feel bound to respect the fears of residents in American berder towns that uprisings may fol- low the occupation of Mexican terri tory by American soldiers. The G. fcer feel that il would be ill-advlsed i to sacrifice the safety of the border to the chance of capturing Villa by a hasty and ill-organized pursuit. There are continued reports that ttere has been great excitement in the Carranza garrisons at Nogales oppo- site the Arizona tGwn os that name and at Piedras Negras across the Rio Grande from Eagle Pass Texas.
 Border Must Be Guarded.
 Troops now stationed in the border i towns are sufficient to handle any sit uation that may arise, says Major General Frederick Funston. who at Fert Sam Houston, southern depart ment headquarters. today outlined, sc far as he considered advisable, the proposed campaign against Villa. However, as General Funston intends tc use these troops in the search for Villa and as he cannot send them across the border until other troops arlive to succeed them in guarding ,he border organization of the exped- ition to go into Mexico after Villa has teen delayed.
 I do not knew when the expedi- .io.- will start into Mexico.' said Gen. aral Funston today. Although, of course it will be soon."
 The general deplored what he term ed the impatience of the American people f-- speedy action.
 I'll iie expedition will go forward .ust a socn as 2 sufficient number Of men with an adequate commissary can be organized" he said. It will ! :.at wait until all the troops now or dered to the be,-der have arrived.
 There is no use going at this thins 1 ha'f-cocked The attack ahead of us wii1 te a long and arduous one.
 "The people must be patient. We mast be adequately prepared for this i thing.
 Want Seasoned MeE.
 ''In the first place we must use, as much as possible, soldiers who arc accustomed to Mexican border duty i However. these men cannot be remov- ed from their present posts until they are relieved by troops drawn from other departments and hurried to the dorder.
 Transportation of the relief pa trols is not an easy matter. Many oi these troops consist of scattered de- tachments that have to be consolidat- ed, sometimes after difficult marches before they can be sent southward
 "Concentration and transportation e troops is not all of our problem however We are going to march into Q country that will afford us little or no forge. The commissary must be adequately supplied.
 "A Villa follower can live on little or rothing. An American soldier mus: he we'll fed if he is to give good serv- ice
