Announcement that golfers at Res
ervoir park had dubbed the punch
bowl" hole the vale of tears" calls
to mind that at the Colonial Club
course the lake on No. hole is known
as Lake Misery" Every now and then
boys go in and gather up score or so
of balls. On the Harrisburg Country
Club links No. 8 hole is sometimes call
ed score smasher" because so many
players have ended fine work on that
long stretch. Some of the holes on the
new Rockville site, which has consid-
erable upright scenery, will doubtless
have names by this time next year.

HAS
BEEN REACHED
At CONFERENCE
SCOTT AND OBREGON REMAIN
SlLENT-AWAlTlNG ADVICE
FROM WASHINGTON AND
MEXICO CITY.

Ell PASO, Tex, May 3.-Advices
from Mexico City and Washington
are awaited today to set the seal of
approval upon a provisional agree
ment that is understood to have been
lreached at the informal conference
between General Alvaro Obregon, min
lister of war OF the de facto govern
ment, and Major General Hugh l..
Scott, chief of staff of the United
States army
After Midnight.
The conference was not ended UNI
It'll after midnight AID the two con-
ferees emerged fran the meeting
place in good hImor General Scott
Iinmedia5a,' arranged for the dis
patch of 4 cod 81 message to Washing
ton giving the details of the under
standing reached with General Obre-
son.
This detailed report is not expected
to reach Washington until late to-
day and it's consideration probably
will delay the answer to General Scott
until Thursday A similar report is
being sent to Carranza. Because of
the difficulties of Mexican tele
graphic transmission, it is thought
his reply will not reach here until
after Washington has answered.
Maintain Silence.
Neither General Scott nor General
Obregon would talls of the delibera-
tons. In fact. they agreed to maintain
strict silence pending the next step
in the negotiations.
1t has been suggested that another
formal conference here may be re-
garded as unnecessary and that Mex
leo City and Washington will say the
final word in the settlement of the
military questions that have arisen
out of the drive of American troops
into Mexico.
Retire Toward Border.
The reported agreement is said to
be based on the general proposition
that the American troops will further
retire toward the border and operate
against Villa bandits in a restrirted
district where their presence and
aItivities will not provoke more hos
tilities. 1t is understood the troops
are to remain there until such time
as the administration at Washington
is convinced the de facto government
is able to cope with Villa bandits.

Glynn county farmers who have been

The dry spell this spring has been
an unusually long and serious one.
There has not been good downfall Of
rain in several weeks, and, with the
warm weather coming, all vegetables
etc, will suffer The little showers
last week were not sufficient to re-
lieve the situation, and farmers are
now hoping for d real, hard down
