it.
Rubbish-This includes ashes, bot.
ties, tin cans, junk and house sweep
ings. Always keep it in boxes OF
barrels of average size.
Waste Paper-This should be KEEP
from rubbish. Always keep it dry
Put in burlap bags or tie it up il
bundles. If kept in basement il
should never be kept near the fur
mace nor under the stairs.
Vacant Lots-The owners of vacant
lots are responsible for keeping
them clean. Do not throw your rub
bish or garbage in these lots. 1t is
not good citizenship and is a menace
to your health. Try to get them
cleaned up and see if you can put in
a garden.
Fire Dangers-Clear out all waste
paper and rubbish of any kind in

ade fire escapes, halls or stairways.

Two Americans and 40 Mex
leans Killed in the
Clash.
REITERATED FOR s MILES
Little Band of 100 Reset by
300 Carranza Regu-
lars.

San Antonio, April. lit was
force of Carranza men who engaged
the little detachment of American
cavalryat Parral Wednesday in a reg
ular organized action, according to
detailed reports written by Major
Frank Tompkins and forwarded to
Gen. Funston by Gen. Pershng.
Forty of the Mexican soldiers, in
GLIDING one major and one civilian,
were killed by retreating Americans.
The American casualties were two
killed and six wounded, including
Maj. Tompkins. His wound was
slight.
Maj. Tompkins' account of the ac-
ton was received at Gen. Funston's
headquarters tonight and served to
clarity Gen. Pershing's report re-
.ceived yesterday in which the identity
OF the attacking force was not stated
and in which he left the inference
that the cavalry was under Col. w. C.
Brown.
The Americans are now north and
west of Parral reinforced by squad
| ron OF the tenth under Maj. Young,
accompanied by Col w. c. Brown
and a picked squadron under Maj.
Robert L. Howe. Fear for their
safety has been dispelled by this re-
port and by dispositions of troops
that Gen. Pershing has ordered but
the character of which Gen. Funston
did not wish to reveal.
Maj. Tompkins' story of the fight
indicates lack of control over the
troops by the commanding officer of
the Parral garrison, Gen. Lozano, and
bitter antagonism by the public and
troops. The fighting took place out
side OF Parral and was continued over
route of eight miles,
FUNSTON REGRETS RETREAT
Gen. Funston said tonight that
while Maj. Tompkins undoubtedly
acted in accordance with his best
judgment in retreating, he regretted
that he had not made stand on ac-
count Of the i'll effect the story of his
retreat would have on the Mexican
people.
Maj. Tompkins arrived outside Par
raj on the forenoon of April y with
about 100 men OF troops NJ and X of
the Thirteenth cavalry. He marched
his small detachment quite openly
along the trail into the city, where
they were met by Gen. Lozano and
civil authorities, who received them
most graciously.
Maj. TompkinS entered the town
upon the invitation of an officer Of the
Parral garrison, He stated that the
officer met him ten miles from Parral,
introduced himself and urged him to
accept the hospitality of the civil au-
thorities, This fact coupled with Mai.
Tompkins' report of the subsequent
attack, caused officers here to express
the opinion that he and his men had
been led into a trap, although perhaps
not with the knowledge of Gen. Loz-
ano, commanding officer.

CHRISTIAN
One COUNTY
In Kentucky That Is Working
Out The Standardization
Problem.
IN POULTRY MATTERS
White WyandOttes Will Soon
Be Sought as Christian
County's Breed.
IN POULTRY MATTERS

The work done in Christian county
last week by Profs. A. S. Chaplin and
D. D. Slade representatives of the
Federal and State Departments of
Agriculture, cooperating with Mrs.
Eloise Graves and County Agricultu-
rist Casey was a work from which the
county will derive much benefit not
only in a material way but in an edu-
Cational way.
The children Of the county schools
are showing unusual interest along
the lines Of pure-bred stock and this
interest once started in children will
also be manifested in other lines of
farm animals. This is the aim of the
Department which seeks TO interest
the children in the things on the farms,
diverting their interests from the
cities. Nearly every section Of the
county was visited and in every sec
ton the same interest was found
among the school children. These
men will return to the county in June
and take up the work again.
Saturday Prof. Chaplin was visitor
to the Kentuckian Office and in speak
ing of this work said: "The only
county in the United States that is
standardizing its poultry interests
through the Boys and Girls Clubs
and the County Agent is Christian
Washington has instructed me to give
! all necessary help to the plans, for they
! are deeply interested in the reports
have made about the work. Con,
tinuing he said: THE state depart
ment in charge of adult work, is
equally interested and Prof Slade, in
charge of this work under this de-
partment is doing all in his power for
Christian county. When we meet
here in June our time will be spent
on the farms where White Wyandotte
chickens are being raised"
Prof. Chaplin is thoroughly in love
with Christian county and says that he
has never come in contact with a peo-
pie who are so much interested in
each other'S work, especially the town
people being interested in the doings
Of the country people. He is
delighted with the material as,
s!stance being given by the town
people and says that the result will be
that Christian county will soon be.
come famous not only as a market for
standard bred White Wyandotte
chickens and eggs in almost any
quantity, but also as an example OF
what unity Of purpose means in the
the way Of financial return to the peo-
pie generally.
Already dealers in poultry, are Of
fering to pay a premium for poultry
and eggs Of standard variety, color
and size and the Kentuckian predicts
that the Christian county product will
be in demand by eastern dealers and
consumers.

make the time spent in Mexico "reas-

the pursuit be the Pacific ocean and
the length of occupancy be only as
long as is necessary to catch Villa and
the other bandits who have shed
American blood.
