County School Letter
cBy supt. G. G. Fites,

The examination for first grade
certificates occurs Aug. 81 and
Sept. and 2.
We would like to hesr from our
farmer boy friends who are seek
ing to join the State Fair Camp
for farmer boys at Huron next
month.
Several institute note books are
still due at this Office. Unless we
have an opportunity to inspect
thase note books we cannot issue
certificates Of institute attendance.
Mrs. E. ]. Everett will be with
US again the coming year. Mrs.
Everett is a veteran a. the work,
and numbers among her early pu.
pills such men as Judge Trip, of
the First Judicial Circuit, and
President G.. G.. Wenzlatf of our
own state normal.
The Charles Mix county insti.
tute convenes August "a. All teach
ers who plan on teaching in this
county the coming year, and who
have not arranged for their insti-
tute requirements, should make it
a point to attend the institute held
at Geddes in our neighboTing coun-.
ty.
Doris Marks has been employ.
ed to teach the schoolin Armstrong
District No. 81 the coming year.
We can assure the people in that
district that they have made no
mistake in the employment of Miss
Marks. In addition to her native
endowments, she has carefully fit
ted herself for the work she has
planned to do.
An opportunity will be given to.
eighth grade pupils who failed to
make the required average, to raise
their grades on Saturday of this
week. Unless these pupils have
been doi2g littla private study.
ing during the summer months,
they should not attempt TO raise
their grades. Seventh grade pupils
who have grades below 8096 in
geography may also write at the
examination given on Saturday.
They should bear in mind that no
subjects other than geography are
offered in the seventh grade.
One of the Interesting features
of our work during the summer
months has been the inspection Of
the records of the various school
districts in the county. We find
great many of them kept in a
careful manner, while not a few
could be improved upon in some
respects. One striking (defect in
many of the clerks records is the
matter of keeping a record of the
receipts. Every clerks record
should show the receipts of the
district for each year in detail. It
is urgently recommended that
school clerks provide themselves
with record books which provide
space for these items, and that the
practice of keeping a careful rec.
ord of receipts be adopted at once.

PLOUGH WAY THROUGH DESERT
FUNSTON DESCRIBES PERSHlNG's
ADVANCE IN MEXICO.
Carranza Commander at Juarez De-
cIares He Is Against Expedition
Little Cooperation.

San Antonio, Texas, March 49, -
Somewhere south of New Mexico, per-
haps 20 miles and possibly a greater
distance. General Pershing and the
divided force he is commanding, were
encamped during the night.
Merely ploughing their way
through the desert sand" were the
words of General Funston, in sum-
marking the days developments.
The statement of General Gavira
commander at Juarez, that while he
had given orders for cooperation in
accordance with instructions from his
government, he personally did not
fully indorse such action, was the
basis for comment by army men. By
some of them Gaviras attitude was
taken as indicative of that of many
Of Carranza's officers.
No Cooperative Plan.
No concerted plan of action between
the military men of the two countries
has been agreed upon. The Ameri'
cans are in Mexico relying on the as
sumption that Carranza has accepted
in good faith the note of the state de.
partment promising reciprocal privi.
leges in chasing down bandits and the
unofficial report from Mexico City
that orders had been issued for CO.
operation.

ATTACKED WITHOUT WARNING
French Liner Carrying 600 Passengers
And Twenty Americans Narrowly
Escapes, Says Captain.

New York, March 1.-THE Fabre

carrying 900 passengers, narrowly es.
capped being sunk by submarine of
the coast of Africa, March 1. Captain
Dechelles reported on his arrival here
A submarine attacked the Patria
without warning, the commander said,
and shot a torpedo at it. The missile
missed the rudder by less than 80 feet,
the captain said.
The incident created panic among
the passengers. There were 20 Ameri-
cans aboard.
The Patria left Palermo Feb. 29 and
was proceeding toward Gibraltar. At
OILS on the morning of March 1, while
off the coast Of Tunis, Captain Dech-
Giles said, he sighted the periscope of
submarine about quarter of mile
distant. TIE signalled full speed ahead
and the Patria adopted zigzag course
to escape attack.

Report Given by Prisoner, Held by

Douglas, Ariz., March 17.-General
P. Elias Gales, military governor Of
Sonora, reported officially to General
Aware Obregon, Mexican war minis.
ter, that his command had captured
a prisoner who revealed Villas plans
and whereabouts in detail. Copies of
this report. Gales said, were forward
ed to General Gavira by him and to the
United States army officers at Colum-
bus.
The man was captured at Dos Cab
ezos and was in the attack O.. Column
bus. Gales said, and added:
"He informs me that villa, after
the attack went directly to the Cor
ralitos ranch, where he murdered sew
en- cowboys because they refused to
give him horses. From Corralitos he
went to Chocolate, where he stopped
on the thirteenth. From there he
went direct to Galeana."

WASHINGTON, March IS. Sweeping

national defense measures urgently
pressed by President Wilson since
the session began.
The house voted unanimously for a
special rule under which the army In

A ten-hour limit for general debate
was fixed, despite the fact that the
bill is the most far-reaching military
measure ever favorably reported to
the body.
Senate Review Completed.
The senate military committee COM
pleted it's review of the senate army

The legislative framework of the
army increase project may be an ac-
complished fact within another month.
The house acted after President
Wilson mad summoned leaders and
urged them to make haste with the
defense program as duty to the
nation.
Postmasters Recruiting Agents.
The senate committee made several
changes in it's bill on final review. AS
It will be reported it will include a
provision designating postmasters all
over the country as recruiting agents.
The scheme was suggested by army
officers. It contemplates paying fee
to postmasters for every recruit en-
rolled through their efforts and &C.
cepted for service. A fee for prelimi-
nary physical examination by civilian
doctors also will be provided.
The house measure proposes to add
new organizations to the existing es-
Enlistment to give it a total peace
strength of 100000 fighting troops
The proportions of artillery and cav
airy to the whole army would be
changed to produce well balanced
organization.
The senate bill provides for a sweep
ing reorganization of the regular army
in all departments as urged by the
war college plan of 1912. 1t provides

Ell Paso, March 18-While most of
the reports reaching here unofticially
from the Mexican border indicated
that the American troops in Mexico
we're unmolested in their advance,
there also were reports that few
snipers had been encountered. There
was nothing to show which of the
American columns might have en-
countered snipers.
Soldiers Are Wounded.
According to these reports six or
seven soldiers of the American expe-

Troop trains came in here during the

San Antonio, Tex, March 17.-Gen-

1000 troops, has begun the pursuit in
on Columbus, New Mexico, last week
caused President Wilson and his cabi-
net to decide to use the United States
army to run him down.
General Pershing's report that he
and his command had crossed the in
ternational boundary line just south of
Columbus reached General Frederick
Funston, in charge here Of general
operations, late in the day.
The news of his entrance into Mex
leo served to dispel to great extent
fears that had been entertained in
some quarters that resistance would
be offered by the troops of the de fac
