FROM LAREDO.
Interesting Letter Prom Tn
Times Correspondent on the
Border.

Editor Times Ne arrived a,
this place after q long trip on the
train. We got sleepers at Her
rington, Kansas, and fr~m tina,
point on we were pretty comfort
able. The first night here We
spent on the ears, and We were
lucky at that as a three inch rain
fell during the night which was
the first one since last December,
but we have one or two sand
storms every day and the mercury
climbs up to 40 to lis most cv-
cry day.
The health Of the company is
good except that every one has
two awfully sore arms Ne were
vaccinated in one and they inject
ed typhoid fever serum in the
other.
Cactus and mesquite sscm to be
about the only things that grow
down here, and we have plenty
of lizards, horned teaIS, cent?
pedes, tetc., and they are all ex-
tremely friendly,
The troops are gradually NOV
ing out of Laredo for their posts
along the border, The first real
duty by the men of our company
was the other night when a squad,
under Sergeant Petty. guarded
Indian Springs where a lot Of
bandits have been coming across
and stealing cattle,
Laredo is a town Ut about 1000
inhabitants, 14.OOO Mexicans to
5000 white folks. 1t is built in
Mexican style except the business
houses, which are as fine rs YOU
will see anywhere.
Some of us were down 10 the
International bridge the other day
and walked out to the center
which is marked by \ monument.
The town on the Mexican side was
burned by the Carranaa troops
when they evacuated it about
five months ago.

Villa Heads Force Of 5000.

FL Paso, Tex, July 14.-Pancho
Villa. in command of eight thous-
and men of the brigades Of Can
uto-Reyes and Calixto Contereras,
fought overwhelming forces of
Caranzistas, led by officers Of
Gen. Jacinto Trevino's division,
southwest of Jiminez, for five con-
Secutive days, and Villistas are
now engaged with Carranza
troops at Diaz, near Santa Rosalia.
This is a report brought to the
border by a member of a military
band at Chihuahua City.
Il will take chihuahua in two
months,' is the frequent declara-
ton of Villa, according to the
Mexican. He says Villa is going
about with a crutch and a cane,
one of his legs being badly in
jured.

Berlin, July 15.-The Prussian
ministers of education and agri-
culture have ordered school au-
thorities to organize the collection
Of beech nuts, acorns and horse
chestnuts by the children and the
other German states are following
this example.
1t is estimated that in Prussia
alone 10000 tons of beech nuts,
10000 tons of acorns and 1000
tons Of horse chestnuts can be
gathered before snowfall. The
nuts will furnish large quantities
of oil and fodder for cattle. Chill
dren and women of the poor class
es will have q chance to earn con-
siderable money, because the gov
eminent intends to pay good
prices for the nuts.

SIGNED FARM CREDIT BILL
Measure to Aid Rural Finances
Made Law by the President.

Washington, July 17.-Presi-
dent Wilson today signed the
Rural Credits Bill. 1t provides
establishment Of a system of land
mortgage banks to handle long
time mortgage loans to farmers.
On invitation of the President,
many interested in the initiation
of the rural credits system were
present at it's signing. These in
cluded House and Senate members
who handled the bill. Before he
signed the bill the President said
ION occasions of this sort there
are so many things to say that one
would despair of saying them
briefly and adequately, but l can
not go through the simple cere-
mony of signing this bill without
expressing the feeling that I have
in signing it. It is a feeling not
only of profound satisfaction, but
of real gratitude that we have
completed this piece of legisla-
ton which I hope will be immense
ly beneficial to the farmers of the
country.
"The farmers, it seems to me,
have occupied hitherto a singular
position of disadvantage. They
have not had the same freedom
to get credit on their real assets
that others have had who were
in manufacturing and commercial
enterprises. And while they sus-
tanned our life, they did not, in the
same degree with others, share in
the benefits of that life. There
fore, this bill, along with the very
liberal provisions of the federal
reserve act, puts them on an
equality with all others who have
genuine assets and makes the
great credit of the country avail
able to them.
Zone cannot but feel this is de-
layed justice to them and cannot
but feel that it>is a very CRAFTY
ing. thing to play any part in do
ing this act of justice. I look for
ward to the benefits of this bill,
not with extravagant expecta-
tions, but with confident expecta-
tions that it will be Of very wide
reaching benefit. and, incidental
", it will be Of advantage to the
community, for I can imagine no
more satisfactory and solid in
vestment than this system will af-
ford those who have money to use.
/ sign the bill, therefore, with real
emotion.

All expenses are to be paid by
the national government.

All expenses are to be paid by
the national government.
Twelve federal land banks are
to be created each with a capital
of not less than "a million dollars.
If individuals do not subscribe for
the stock the Secretary Of the
Treasury is authorized to fur
nish the capital, and shares held
by the government are not to re-
ceive any dividends. Ten or more
farmers may organize a National
Farm Loan Association through
which farm mortgage loans may
be obtained for their members
from the federal land banks. No
loan is to be made at a rate ex-
ceeding 6 per cent nor for more
than so per cent of the value OF
the land mortgages.
The mortgage loans are to be
used by the federal land banks as
collateral security for bonds is
sued to sell investors, and these
bonds are to be free from nation
al, state or local taxation.

CHILD LABOR BILL
PASSES THE HOUSE.

The Heating bill, barring from in
terstate commerce the products OF
child labor, was passed by the House

to the Senate. It imposes heavy pen
aIties for interstate shipment of any
commodity. in whole or in part, pro-
duced by children under Is working
in mines or quarries, or by children
under IA working In mills. c%anneries,
workshops or manufacturing estab-
lishments. Where children are en-
ployed at night or more than eight
hours a day in this latter class of in
dustries the minimum age is 16 in

Opposition to the bill came largely
from the South. Representative

the House Judiciary committee, urg-
ed that it was unconstitutional. and
sought u~nsuccessfully to exempt the
children of widows from its opera
ton.

worthy of note. We are sure that
by the end of the year there will be
work done which will reflect credit
pom the boys and girls as well as
Mr.. Kenyon. His idea regarding the
work is that the boys shall develop
