Villas Escape Certain.

San Antonio, Tex. April 1S.-If Francisco Villa is not dead he has now an excellent chance to escape into territory far beyond the most advanced of the American detach- ments, because the punitive force has penetrated about as far south as it is going to go with the present or ganization.
 Official admission that it was inn possible to extend the main line of communication south of Satevo was taken today to mean that the field of operations would be restricted to that district over which attachments of cavalry with provisions for one or two days could ride. Beyond the arc of that fan Villa would be safe so far as the Americans are concerned.
 General Pershing is believed to have explained in detail this phase of the situation in a report to General Funston and to have made recom- mendations that more effective facili- ties for the pursuit of Villa be au- thorized.

PANTS AND TROUSERS WANTED

A great lady in France wants
800 pairs Of pants. OF course we
know that trousers" is the proper
word, but that shorter and uglier
word is so neatly rhythmic in associ-
alton with the name Of our great sis
ter republic that we simply couldn't
resist. The lady in question is
Madame Washington, author Of
charming and interesting books; and
the trousers so devoutly desired are
for convalescent French soldiers. A
friend Of Madame Waddington's has
arranged to take to Paris all the good
American trousers offered for the
good cause and there is a dim hope
that before very long there will be at
least a few Frenchmen visible on the
streets of Paris attired in neither gar.
ments that give the impression Of
having been made for q human be.

HOG CHOLERA

The alarm reaches me that
that much dreaded disease of
hogs. cholera, is causing great
loss again in our parish. Why?
Twenty-Five years ago we might
not have answered this question
but now every farmer ought to
be able to stop 1t. 1t costs
about zoe per hundred to abso-
lutely prevent this disease by
use of anti-toxin serum, injected
Approximately. The agricul-
turalist at Grayson is equipped
for the business and willing to
go when and wherever possible.
He charges nothing for the Op-
Grafton, you supply an automo-
bile for him or railroad fare and
let him know two days before
he is to immune your hogs, how
many you have and approx
mately their weights. He will
telegraph for the serum and it
will come %. d. Don't wait
till the cholera gets in your
herd, the risk is too great. Burn
or bury all dead hogs. Quaran-
tine all sick ones or kill them it
they have cholera. Keep well
hogs in a sanitary place, give
clean water and food. Don't
carry cholera germs on your
shoes from dead or sick hogs to
well ones.
The vaccination will keep the
hogs immune from cholera for
six months, but if they are
treated and then exposed to
cholera they will take mild
form of cholera that is not Sc
we're at all and then be immune
from it for life.
Write, phone or come to see

the school, sometimes | can.
