TWELFTH DISTRICT

Farmers are badly in need o.
rain. On account Of an excess Of
rain in June and the fore part Of
July, many crops failed to get
proper cultivation. MANY crops
on bottom lands are a failure,
while hill-land crops will be fairly
good. The hay crop is good and
a large part of it was saved in
good order. The wheat crop is
good.
Farm Demonstration Ellis was
in our district last week and built
a modern poultry house on the
farm OF T. J. Elder. Many Of
our farmers and their wives were
present and both witnessed and
assisted in the construction. The
building OF this poultry house
will prove a great stimulant to
poultry raising in the district, as
others will build. We are glad
to know that the efforts Of Mr.,
Ellis to stimulate the farmers
along the line Of poultry raising
is being SO highly appreciated.

.CARRANZA NEEDS
 MUNITIONS OF WAR
Thought This Necessity Will Hasten Acceptance of Protocol Signed by
 Commission

Washington, November 2s.-IIeavy ex- penditure of ammunition by General Ire vino in his desperate fights with Villa at Chihuahua City is expected here to result in strong pressure upon Carranza for prompt ratification of the protocol signed at Atlantic City by the Mexican American commission.
 Although no representation was made by the Mexican members looking to a lifting of the embargo on arms and ammunition, they were given to under stand that consideration would be given to such representation if Carranza dis played willingness to enter into an agreement, whose basic principles would be protection of the life and property of foreigners in Mexico.
 Information has reached the govern ment from some sources indicating that General Obregon, Mexican minister of war, had not supplied the Chihuahua arsenal as literally as he could have, but in official Mexican quarters there was denial of this today, and a reiteration of the shortage extended to the general stores
 AdminiStra ton officials do not mini mize the continuance of Villas renewed strength, but believe it will assume such proportions as to alter the plan of the United States government to continue it's efforts to bind Carranza to an agree ment looking to the protection of for eign interests. It is planned to have rep resentatives of the joint commission to meet here this week to formulate tenta- tive programme for the conferences that will begin December s, after Carranza gives his ratification.

ADJUSTMENTS
Today. "Martha"

For two years the producers of Martha" have deferred its opening i'll order to complete the company they felt was necessary in order to do jus tice to this unusual comic opera. The five leading principals comprise the highest priced cast on the light opera stage. The notable Boston English Opera company chorus has been en- larged and is better than ever be- fore.
 The company's own symphony or chestra fills the last detail, and brings out the full beauty of the score. That these precautions have proven wise is evident from the fact that critics pro nounce it the most competent and evenly balanced cast heard in many years.
 Martha with the great five-star combination intact, comes to the Jeff ferson matinee and night today, and will unquestionably be the musical event of the season.
 The fact that only two perform = ances will be given here makes it inn perative to secure seats early as the company is playing to the largest re- ceipts of any musical attraction on tour
