Villa Generals Held.

Fl Paso, Tex, Sept Military authorities in Juarez reported that Manuel Ochoa, who was caught by guards after crossing the frontier near here and escaped after killing one of his captors, has been driven back to the American side. They say that American secret service men are on his trail. Agents of the United States department of justice have de- tained Lopez Payan and Macrino Mar tinez, former Villa generals, it was learned today. They are said to be concerned in the plot of Ochoa, who, as shown by papers left behind in his flight, intended to join Villa in order to give him information about the anti Carranza movement among the refugees. Both Payan and Martinez have kept on the American side of the border.

INDICT 9l UNDER
 ANTI.TICK LAW
But Cases Continued When Farmers Promise to Dip Cat tle-Believed Opposition 10 the Law Will Disappear.

Bonneville, Aug. 31.-Ninety-one Logan county farmers, indicted for violating the anti-tick law by refus- ing to dip their cattle, today were arraigned in circuit court, but after Judge James Cochran told them em- phatically that the law was constitu- tional and would be enforced, every man voluntarily promised to dip his cattle. Judge Cochran continued the cases until October, and it is believed the indictments will be dismissed if the farmers keep their promises.
 James Davis was convicted of fail ing to dip his cattle and was fined S25 and costs. A contempt case, the re- suit of his refusal to allow the sheriff to dip his cattle upon a court order is pending.
 The arraignment of the 91 farmers followed Davis conviction. Judge Cochran upheld the constitutionality of the law, which was attacked in the Davis case.
 It is believed now that opposition to the law will disappear.

NEWSPAPERS TAKE
 QUIET VIEW GREECE
London Publications After Two Days Silence Express Con- servative View of Situation Report UncOnfirmed.

London, Sept. 1.-After two days ot telegraphic silence with Athens. curing which sensational rumors of a revolution have gained currency, but without confirmation comes the start ling news of the arrival of an entente allied fleet with transports at Piraeus and that the general Greek elections likely will be postponed for a fort night.
 The brevity of the dispatch seemed to indicate that something is happen ing and developments are awaited with the greatest curiosity here. From fragmentary dispatches reaching Lon don, it is deduced by some observers that changes of decisive character al- ready have taken place in Athens and that the Greek de facto government had decided to abandon neutrality and align itself on the side of the entente.
 Others take a more conservative view. The Times attaches small im- portance to Wednesdays revolution ary movement at Saloniki, declaring this is overshadowed by the news of the appearance of entente allied ships off Piraeus. This must be taken to indicate that the allies are wearied of the unequivocations which so long have prevailed in Athens and are re- solved to battle the intrigues of their enemies.
 The Chronicles discusses what it terms the great difficulties former Premier Venizelos must encounter in an endeavor to guide Greece. It says: "The Greek army is anything but ready for action, firstly, because it has just been demobilized and second ly, because the personnel of it's higher command and a large portion of its officers corps are in the melting pot, having been heretofore led by staffs largely composed of pro-Ger- man olncerS. Inc Wnole army HOW IS in a pretty serious state of demoral- ization. The case of the nation is similar"
 The Chronicle dismisses the rumors of King Constantine's abdication and similar reports of political changes in Athens as quite unfounded and only of interest as showing Saloniki's frame of mind.
 The Times more guardedly says: It would be rash in the extreme to accept these reports without off cial confrmation-som of them may be regarded mainly as shrewd guess es on the future"

COTTON DECLINES
 Y TO g POINTS
New High Levels Early Drop Rapidly on Reports of Good
 Rains-Opening Advance In- spired by Strength Liverpool.

New York, Sept. 1.-An early ad- vance was followed by sharp reac- tions in cotton today, with December selling off from 16.47c to 1603c, under heavy realizing for over Labor Day. The close was at practically the low point of the day, with the tone easy at net decline of 24 to 34 points.
 An opening advance of to q points, making new high records for the season, was inspired by the sensa- tional strength of Liverpool The market there was closed when yester- days government report was pub lished, but more than responded to the local advance this mornin, with prices at one time showing an advance of fully 70 points from Thursdays clos ing figures. A greater response to the gains abroad was prevented by heavy realizing around the local ring, while houses with Liverpool connec- tions had very few buying orders here and the market soon turned easier. Early offerings were very well ab- sorbed on reactions, but the volume Of selling increased, following the publi- cation of detailed weather reports, showing good rains in the Southwest. Some selling of October, accompanied by rumors of an easier spot basis in Texas, also promoted the disposition to take profits on long. contracts. Prices weakened in consequence, with October contracts selling off from 16.50c to 15.94c, while January broke from 16.6Sc, the early high level, to 16.10c. The bulk of the selling on the decline was believed to represent realizing by old longs, after the sen- sational advance of yesterday.
 Cotton closed easy.

ON FRISCO IN
 ARKANSAS ONLY $2,292

Little Rock, Sept. 2.-Instead of more than half million dollars re- duction in the assessment of the Fris- co railroad in Arkansas, as some papers have reported, the reduction amounts to only $2,292 on the rail road proper. The assessment on the road last year was $10,3S6,4 and this year it is $10,3S4,149.
 The reduction was on the Frisco bridge, assessed as the property of the Kansas City X Memphis Railway Bridge Company. Last year this prop erty was assessed at S1,749,5 ,560, and the commission this week fixed its assessment at $1,250,000. Until re- gently the bridge was used by other roads which paid a heavy toll for it. Then the new Harahan bridge was opened by the Rock Island, Cotton Belt and Iron Mountain, reducing the earnings of the Frisco bridge corpor- ation by about 50 per cent. For this reason the reduction was made on the assessment of the bridge.
 The Arkansas half of the Harahan bridge, assessed as of June 1, before it was opened, is asssseed at $779,- 900.

A PROCRUSTEAN LAW

Some public officials are borrowing heap of trouble
because the tax limitation law may prevent things
being done they would like to materalize. Some of
the educational institutions cannot their way clear
do the things they want do and which they consider
necessary in their especial departments. They not
alone for each and every department of the state gov
ernment is in the same predicament.
The trouble is these managers of the states business
do not understand that the condition brought about
by the people for the express purpose of compelling them
and all to stretch their legs according to the length
of their blankets and not let too much shin bone be
posed to the weather Businessmen have at times to cut
expenses whether they like to do it not and to forego
doing things they would like to do in order to keep with
in their incomes. This is just what the voters have
warned the officials they must do. They are to have
certain income and they must get along within it. How
they to do this matter belonging to each depart
ment. The people have said: "Here is so much money
for conducting the branch of under you and
you can't have any more" There is no worrying
about it. 1t is solid fact they confronted with not
theory and it up to them to cut expenses and not
ceed their allowance. 1t may mean the reduction of
forces the cutting out of professors at the colleges and
clerks in departments but what it in that
ne there is getting around it. unless one official
suggests "the legislature ignores the law That ght
accomplish something but the chances it would be the
retiring to private life of those who did it.

"a NICE KETTLE OF FISH"

It claimed that should nothing come from President
Wilson's peace note that the whole policy of the admin
stration regarding Americans travelling armed belg
eren ships will be changed and that they will be warned
not to do This will be taken to guard against
tangements with Germany and the allies, but it will
doubtedy bitter resentment among the latter it
will deprive them of the protection the presence of
Americans on beigerent vessels gives them, and
would give Germany much freer hand in her sub
marine warfare Last Spring the president offered
cessfu opposition to the McLemore bill and that of SEN
ator Gore which prohibited Americans travelling on
beigerent merchantmen. These measures had the sup
port Of Secretary of State Bryan The administration
holds that conditions have changed Since that time
LloydGeorge has announced his purpose to natonaze
all British shipping and to put the vessels in condition to
defend themselves from submarine attack If this is done
British ships would lose their status merchantmen and
become in effect government crafts 1t is pointed out
that the United States has raised any question
when belgerent government ship torpedoed with
out warning despite the fact that American citizens en-
poyed as members of the were killed drowned.
If LoydGeorge carries out his proposed plans the same
principle must be observed Otherwise it would force
America into the position of protecting British
armed ships by permitting her citizens to travel the
and holding Germany responsible for any attack them
1t is Great Brtans part that would force to
this course, or force us into grave controversy with
Germany
Taken all around it is pretty kettle of fish,"

"A Few Words About the Junior
Commercial Club and Mr.. w. ]. Busick
BysJames M. Heady.

Somebody has written something like THIS:
when the ALMIGHTY had created EVERYTHINGI
and pronounced it GOOD, there still some DIRTY
work to do He took some parts that too MEAN
and WORTHLESS and ROTTEN for the RATTLE
SNAKE and the VAMPIRE and the SKUNK and the
RAT and HE assembled the PARTS together and covered
them with JEALOUSY and fastened them with HATRED
and then clothed the whole thing with MALICE and called
deSpiSable creation a "KNOCKER."
Now everywhere / have ever been I've MET few of
these THINGS and when I've been HIT by them, I've
acted like the fellow KICKED by MULE I've Simply
considered the SOURCE"
I've often wondered if I'd ever be interested in
ANYTHING that the KNOCKERS would LET ALONE
and Pm happy to SAY HAVE-right here in SALEM.
When Mr.. Mcdaniel and Myself formulating
the plan for tile JUNIOR COMMERCIAL CLUB we
wondered if the of the SALEM COMMERCIAL
CLUB would be willing to be "BIG BROTHERS" to the
"KIDDIES" and I'm glad to say they HAVE.
On the BOYS meeting nights "THE BIG BROTH
ERS" have been interested in the KIDS activities and
every ONE has BOOSTED in every way HE could and
helped to make the lads FEEL AT HOME" in the club
rooms.
NOT A KNOCKER HAS RAISED A HAMMER or
made an effort to FIRE THE KIDS OUT.
But the BIGGEST BOOSTER of ALL BOOSTERS is
MR. w. J. BUSICK, who runs the "GROCRETERIA
PLAN" GROCERIES.
He has certainly MADE A HIT that would make him
WINNER anywhere.
He was the first PERSON in SALEM who gave the
BOYS a CHANCE to make some MONEY in spare time.
Some members of the CLUB, passed up the CHANCE,
OUT laSG NlCTf1l---aln0SC the WHILE CLUB ABOUT 4U
STRONG, responded to his invitation to have "a FEED
at his expense at the Royal Cafeteria.
Il guess the Reason he picked Cafeteria restaurant
is because he's running A CAFETERIA GROCERY
Anyhow I'm much obliged to Mr.. Busck and so are
the parents and tit goes without saying) SO THE
BOYS.
It wasn't THE EATS SO much, although they were
VERY good but it was the BIG HEART and the INTER
EST in coming business that makes him fellow we
boys will never forget.
So we give 1-2-3 CHEERS for WILLIAM JOSEPH
IBUSICK---our biggest big brother and all our big
brothers in the Salem Commercial Club and elsewhere
