Roth Asked for More Troops.
c.cretarv Raker said the orders sending
more troops to the border were made upon
a.. ;oint recommendation of both Gen.
Scott and Cen Funston and were without
significance in connection with the scout
Obregon conferences. Regarding 'he

p.ker said that Gen Scott was awaiting
communicat ton from Gen. Obregon
Further than this the Secretary refused
to discuss the status of the conferences;
Gems. Scott and Funston advised the

return of the Big Bend raiders might
be expected They stated that the regu-
lars on patrol duty. with the bulk OF
the southern forces within Mexico, were
Insufficient adequately to guard against
repetition of the Big Bend raid.
II was upon these recommendations the
President and Secretary Baker decided to
call into service the National GUARDS OIL

troop movement as a step merely Tor

not heard whether the American troops

outlaws who raided Glenn Springs and
Boquillas.

of concrete stairways. The elevator
is operated by electricity, the elevator
shaft and every appointment pertain

FINE EXHIBITS

COME.

Granville, McHenry county, will go
after the cup for corn raised in 1914,
that is to be offered by the manage
ment of the Northwestern Mid-winter
Fair to be held in this city next week,
and w. A. Christensen of Granville,
says there will be nothing to it, for the
farmers in his locality are corn raisers
par excellence, and will bring to Minot
one of the best corn exhibits ever
shown in North Dakota.
Mr.. Christensen has also promised
to bring the James J. Hill prize Short
horn bull to the fair to be a special at
traction for Shorthorn Day, Wednes-
day, Feb. 9th
But to cap the climax, F. 0. Bacon
of Granville, will bring to the Fair his
freak Jersey cow that has been giving
milk without break for seventeen
years. This cow was born at Forest
City, Iowa, and has only had one calf
and that was in April, 1899. She has
been supplying milk continuously ever
since. In order that no one can doubt
this assertion affidavits will be fur
nished by residents of Ward county
and farmers from Wesley county, Ia,
and others.
She is now giving 10 quarts of milk
daily that tests 5 per cent in butter
fat.

North Dakota would do as we'll as
