El Paso, Tex, March 21.--Pancho
villa has been driven into a trap by
the rapid advance Of the American
troops, according to the information

villa was In the Babrlcora lake re-
gion, on the ranch OF Mrs. Phoebe
Hearst, which he has ravaged several
times in the past. Babrlcora is about
fifty-five miles south OF Galena,
where one section OF the American
expeditionary force has arrived and Is
pushing forward at the rate OF thirty
three miles a day. A few miles west
OF the bandits position Is Namiquipa,
which is held by a powerful Carranza
garrison. On the west are the frown-
ing barriers of the Sierra Madre
mountains, barring the way to Sonora.

While Carranza leaders and United
States authorities have avoided any
friction there is one serious question
which may arise at any time to
threaten the entire situation: AS tho
lines OF communication OF the Amerl-

bringing up supplies becomes increas-
ingly more pressing. II is expected
here that Washington sooner or later
will request permission OF Gen. Car
rama to use the Mexican railroads II
such a request has not already been
made. To grant that might be a step
which would be m%Isconstrued by many
Mexicans. On the other hand n re-
fusal would scarcely harmonize with
the protested desire OF the Carranza
government TO cooperate In every
way with the American authorities.
The arrival OF this crisis Is being anx-

Their purchases at recent sales Of
registered cattle in Mississippi valley

" ants Court House
With Plenty Room

The Miller Press has an article on
the possibilities and probabilities of
n new court house for Hand county
inside of the next few wears. And
1T expresses our sentiment to the
dot. We'd like to add that we hope
the committee in charge of the
plans for the court house will insist
on erecting a building that will be
large enough for a hundred years.
Some of the court houses that have
been built recently are too small al
ready. Let's build one for this
county that will have plenty of
room. We hope for a large auditor
ium. Rec Heights Review.
The new court house should be
large enough to include all modern
conveniences suitable to a building of
this kind. If the location is made
near the center of business. the con-
veniences of a properly equipped
rest room for women and children
would be greatly appreciated by
every farmers wife who comes tn
