ROAST WOOD FOR
3 TO SEAT ORDER
Soldiers Awaiting Result of
Energetic Protest Against
Herding in Trains

Camp Brumbaugh, Mt. Gretna, Ia.
June 29-Soldiers throughout thecamp
were waiting with hopes to-day the
result of the energetic protest made
to Major General Leonard Wood, COM
mander of the department of the east,
last night by Adjutant General Stew
art against the order assigning three
men to two seats for the long journey
of the Guardsmen to the Texas mob
iliation points.
This matter broke loose here yester-
day morning and protests were regis
tered by General Clement and the bri-
gade commanders in vigorous terms.
Adjutant General Stewart followed it
up with protest to the commanding
general and was informed that the Sec
retary of War had made the order.
This established the fact that 1t came
from the War Department and it soon
began to hear from people in this
State.
Last night General Stewart wired to
General Wood that in a time like this
when the country was demanding sac
rihceS from its men the nation should
be more considerate of it's soldiers.
He added that a provision such as
made for three men to two seats would
not be conducive to the welfare of the
soldiery.
The War department was roasted
right and left here last night and to-
day among the men in the camp when
officers were not around. The officers
said nothing.
The action of the War department
in discharging colored men who have
been cooks for a long time also led to
some sharp criticism and the cooks
received honorable discharges and in
many instances good send-offs from
the men whom they had served. The
reason for the order no one has vet
been able to find out.

Last Stronghold of
Zapata Reported Taken

Mexico City, June 90. The last
stronghold of Emilio zapata, the ban
dit chief who for several years has
overrun the State of Morelos, has been
captured by Constitutionalist forces,
Secretary of War from General Pablo
Gonzales.
The position was known as "El Jill
guero," and consisted of a deep can
yon completely surrounded by high
and rugged mountains. 1t was con-
sidered impregnable by Zapata.
The capture of this stronghold has
caused great jubilation among the Car
ranzistas, who believe that it means an
end at least to the depredations of the
bandit chief.

Headquarters Continues
Work of Increasing Army
For Possible Offensive

San Antonio. June 20. = Staff Off
GERS and departmental chiefs at GEN
eral Funston's headquarters continued
day the work of shaping the hourly
increasing army for a possible often
sive movement.
Notification that Carranza had
ordered the surrender to American
military authorities of the negro
troopers captured after the fight at
Carrizal did not lower in the least the
high pressure of military prepara-
tions. The opinion was widespread
that the release of the prisoners had
not altered the basic reasons for the
mobilization of the army along the
border, and that the danger of an
open break with Carranza-s troops
had not been greatly lessened.
Assembling Supplies
Trains bearing certain units of the
Eastern National Guardsmen were
expected to cross the State line into
Texas early tomorrow and by to-
morrow night it was believed that a
considerable part of the newly-made
army would be nearing stations along
the border.
Supplies were being assembled at
Brownsville, Laredo, Eagle Pass and
other points where the greater con-
centrations will be made.

HOGS AND ALFALFA

The phrase above is often heard
as applied to successful stock raising
in the San Luis valley, and to be con-
vinced of the actual money-making
possibilities of that combination is an
easy matter.
One of the many farms in this vic
unity which makes q speciality of hogs
and alfalfa is the ranch of w. A.
Magill, just at the east edge of town.
Mr.. Magill has enclosed his forty
acre tract with hog wire and has di-
vided it up into fields of various
sizes, through which there is ample
running water. Acres of alfalfa,
feed pens, farrowing pens and lots of
shade make the place an ideal one
for the raising of hogs. Mr. Magill's
favorite breed of hogs is the poland
china and he has some we'll bred an
imals, while his entire herd of young
pigs shows rapid and healthy
growth.
