dets of Roswell, N. MI composed of expert rif1emen and with a motorcycle machine gun section, yesterday vol unteered for duty.
 Much speculation was indu1ged in here regarding tie action of Gov. Gus tavo Espinoza Mireles of Coahuil, in sending 1000 Carranza troops to the Big Bend district to hunt down the bandits who attacked Glenn Springs last Friday night. Military men were of the opinion that if a break in re- lations between Mexico and the Unit ed States should ensue, this force would be in a position to do serious execution along the border.
 At the moment of recognition the Americans opened fire. Two Mexi- cans fell. The others, throwing them selves behind their horses, replied to the fire, but more of them fell un- der the shower of bullets the remain der fled toward the San Vicente Ford, with the troopers and rangers in pur- suit.
 They chased the Mexicans across the river. Four escaped in the dense river growth. There were no Ameri- can casualties, None of the posse was wounded.
 The Mexican population about Bo- quqi1Ias and Glen Springs is apparent 1y afraid of reprisals and is keeping we'll under cover. It has been amp ly demo onstrateds that many Mexican residents of the American side partici- pated in the Glen Springs raid, though under Mexican military leadership and accompanied by more than 200 Car ranzistas and Villistas from the Mexi- can side.

Special to The Farmer)

Newtown, May 10.-.HTwenty years ago. Sunday said Mortimer Smith of Newt town today, .I drove my first car. It was propelled by electricity gener- ated by dynano driven by steam. It made seven miles an hour when I let her out. It carried two. It weighed five tons.''
 MT. Smith was talking to an audi ence of friends each of whom has high power automobiles which easily make 50 miles an hour, where there are mo traffic officers nor offfcious con stables. t
 The invention of the internal com bustions gas engine is the greatest in vention of this or any other age,'' said the speaker in conclusion, and his audience on the parking stand at the Inn agreed with him. The automobile is doing wonders for Newtown as a suburban resort in summer, and with the two main lines of state roads has added materially to the increase in property values all over town.

Bear in mind your first business is to decide whether or not Bridgeport is your city.
 Are you going into partnership with it? Will you do your level best to make it pay you and all the other partners?
 The kind of organization that gets you what you want most-for yourself, for your wife, for your children-is the best organiza- tion.
 That is good business.
 You can gamble if you want to. No laws can prevent that. The trouble with gambling is that somebody is bound to lose. Usually it is the man who can lest afford to lose. GOOD business makes Everybody win and keep on winning.
 If Bridgeport is your city you must make it's business your business, good busi- There must be homes for all who need then and schools and amuse1nents.

Making It Pay.

K The home building must be busl- ness. The houses must pay those who put them up and those who live in them.
 A house can't pay for itself in day or month. It,takes time. It's permanent thing. Itmust earn money year after year, for the man who owns it, whether he lives init Ortrents it.
 Are you busy thinking out a plan that will work-that will be good business?
 WE want all the, facts, all the light we can get For involved'in this problem of homes are involved those fundamentals which determine whether or notABridgeport will keep it's great prosperity whether it will go forward or go back. ; Remember always it(is YOUR problem for it is 7Bridgeport's problem, and you are in partnership with Bridgeport, ,4and what is best for the city is best for you.

song and Geo. 7. Luckett, will
leave tomorrow morning for
Shreveport, La, to inspect the
methods, of maintaining the gravel
roads of Caddo Parish.
The supervisors will make this
trip at their own expense, showing
that they are willing to go down
into their own pockets to secure
ideas of how better, if possible, to
keep up the roads of Kinds Coun-
ty. If they can secure some sug-
gestion that will result in preven-
tion of washouts that during heavy
rains they will feel amply repaid
for making the journey.
The heavy rainfall of Friday
night did considerable damage to
some of the country roads of Kinds
County, but the supervisors have
not been able to accurately esti-
mate what it will cost to repair the
damaged places.
The supervisors are in deadly
earnest in efforts to maintain the
roads so that washouts will be pre-
vented. 1t is said that in Caddo
Parish a few years, ago, the roads
stood up perfectly under an over
flow. The supervisors are going

Old Jackson Trail.

Mr.. ]. M. McBeath, vice presi.
dent of the Jackson Highway Asso-

first charter that was approved by
the new governor, Theodore G.
Bilbo, was the one for the Jackson
Highway.
Mr.. McBeath said that this gave
1.-THE new governor great pleasure as
The is known to be an enthusiast
for good roads and a strong believ-
|er in the Jackson Highway.
Mr.. McBeath also said that he
lhad received the charter, as signed
by Gov. Bilbo, and that he expect
ed to call a meeting of the incor-
porators to be held lat Columbus at
an early date, when a permanent
organization will be effected. ~
The incorporation of the Jackson
Highway was first suggested by
Mayor John w. Parker, of Meridi-
an, and it was at once seen that
this would forever give the name
to the route by Meridian, and the
mayors suggestion was quickly
adopted by Vice President Nc
Beath and other officers of the
highway association.
1t is felt that with the legal
right to the name Of Jackson High
way Association, and the real and
actual construction of good roads
according to the government en-
gineer, that the original Jackson
Military route is sure to be adopted.

Thanks to my friends who so
kindly treated me in my court

of the January term, 1916, by sign
ing my petition. Thanks to the
Jurors who convicted me for asking
the mercy Of the court.
Thanks to Hon. Judge ], B. Hol-
den for the position he now holds,
that Of holding the balance of JUS
tice in his hands, hoping for him
success in his aspirations higher
up the rounds of the ladder of
fame. Not that he specialized my
case, but by being guided by his
conscience no one knows better
than /, the injustice of my convic-
ton, but men on a jury have to be
guided by law and evidence.
But Truth, crushed to earth will
rise again.
