Kellow & Son Open a Rest Room.

Immediately after the decision of the
business men of Cresco to discontinue
the public rest room VIM. Kellow &
Son began rearranging the interior of
of their store room to provide a rest
room for their patrons and friends AS
a result they now have a very cozy
place fitted up with couch, chairs, mir
riors, wash stand, toilet, etc., and it is
open to the public generally. For sew.
eral years Mr.. Kellow was head of the
committee which was charged with
raising funds to maintain the rest room
and it was largely through his energy
and faithfulness that the place was
kept up. When finally it was voted to
abandon the enterprise, realizing the
great need of such place he determ-
ind to have one in his own store, and
he wants the public to make use of it
irrespective of whether or not they are
customers of his.

Rural School Notes.

The county spelling contest, follow
ing the township contests held during
the week of Feb. TIP, took place last
Friday evening, Feb. 18th.
1.-The township contests were on the
whole we'll attended and the spoilers
did some splendid work. The best part,
Think, was the spirit of the "good
loser" which was shown by all those
who went down. Besides the benefit
that was received through the study OF
the word list and through the practice
in getting before the public, that lesson
of the ''good loser'' was given root
that should in later years, if encour-
aged by parents and teachers, tend to
promote better spirit of cooperation
and good fellowship.
Following is list of those taking
first and second places in the township
contests:

The spoilers at the county contest did so
we'll that we feared we were going to
have to get words other than those in
the list, but as soon as some OF the
pupils were not used to writing the
words so rapidly and others became
tired or excited we did not quite finish
our list.
Hazel Webster took first place and
and Frank Becker second. A silver
medal was awarded to the one taking
first place in each of the township con-
tests and a gold medal for the first
place in the county contest and silver
for the second place

bic for our one room to handle the

British Hold 100 Miles
of Western Battle Front

London, March 30.-Reuter's corre-
spondent at British headquarters in
France telegraphs:
"OHicial communications having re-
vealed the fact that the British armies
have taken over length of the line
previously held by the French, I am
permitted to make reference to 1t.
THE new dispositions were carried
out with great skill and secrecy and
the result has been the release of large
French forces which were manifestly
of great value in another area. At
present the British are probably hold
ing something like one-fourth of the
entire length of the western front, eX-
tending in an unbroken line from the
User to the Somme.
although the hour of the British
army may be at hand, it is not yet.
Nor is there any reason to believe that
the Germans will succeed by their at
tacks on Verdun in upsetting the pre-
arranged strategy of the coming great
offensive.
THE extension of their line to the
Somme give the British a curving front
of about 100 miles, double what they
held in the great allied offensive OF
last September"

Granting Use of Railway
Helps SolUe Most Serious
Problems of u. S. Army
BY .Associated Prcss

Washington, March. 30.-General
Funston to-day was expected to tender
to the Mexican northwestern railroad
cargoes of supplies for shipment to
the American forces beyond the bor-
der, under an agreement made with
General Carranza by the State Depart
ment.
The first chief helped to solve the
armys most difficult problem in the
chase for Villa by promptly granting
renewed requests for permission to use
the railroad. Carranza has agreed
that the line can be used on a COM
mercial basis, and this is construed
to mean here that all service shall be
paid for at regular rates
The State Department will nego-
tlate with Carranza further to bring
about more complete understanding
pending the completion of the pro-
posed protocol with the de facto gov
ernment TO cover the entire situation
of the International pursuit of Villa.
Assuming that Carranza had noti-
fed his officers on the border of the
new agreement for the use of the
railroad, an order was dispatched to
Funston late last night to tender. sup
plies for shipment.
The arrival of the third squadron
of the third cavalry at Fort Ringgold,
Texas, was reported in war depart
ment dispatches from General Funs-
ton to-day. The detachment was sent
to that point TO strengthen the border
p-.trol in that vicinity.
Navy Department advices from
Mexico reported conditions on both
coasts quiet and generally satisfac-
tory.

Strict Secrecy Imposed
on Plan Regarding Use
of Railroad by Funston
Br Associaled Press

San Antonio, Texas, March 30
Washington has imposed strict secrecy
on Major General Funston regarding
plans for using the Mexican North
western railroad to send supplies to
the American troops. lie declined to
say early to-day whether the imme-
diate use of the line would be or
dered.
General Funston received from
Washington last night code message
believed to have contained instruc-
tions for use of the Northwestern, and
orders that supplies be rendered for
shipment from Eel Paso to Casas
Grandes.
Hope was expressed in military cir
cles that further negotiations between
the State department and Carranza
might result in the Mexican govern
mont certain concessions by which the
shipping problem would be easier
The army desires authority to place
guards over supplies in transit, even
if the goods must move as CONNER
cial freight.
Because of the feeling that the rail-
road will not solve the transportation
under present conditions imposed for
its use, the operation of motor trucks
between Columbus and the field base
will be continued for the present.

Columbus, n. M, March 80. Re
sumption of the army aero dispatch

porarily because of climatic conditions

Lieut.. Gorrell prepared to carry
more than 100 newspapers from va
rious sections of the United States,
for which the troops had asked.
Reports received at the base hospi-
tai here spoke well of the stamina of
the men at the front, the per centage
of sickness being at a minimum de-
spite the burning sun of day and sharp
chill of night to which the troops are
exposed.
A few cases of heat prostration have
been reported, four negro infantry

Says Big Ships Point
Way to Bloodless Victory

Washington, ID. c., March 30. -
Dreadnaughts have won the greatest
victory of the European war, without
firing a shot, Assistant Secretary of the
Navy Roosevelt told the House naval
committee. With enough dread
naughts, he said. the United States
would win a "bloodless victory in a
war.
To-day the United States is richer
and weaker than ever in its history, in
comparison with other powers" Mr.
Roosevelt said, explaining that the ma
tion has great potential resources, but
a handful of an army" and a navy
weaker than several powers for imme-
diate defense. BY keeping the foes
fleet off the seas. Mr.. Roosevelt said,
tn British dreadnaughts had attained
the aim for which they were built.

for villa has not been learned here,
among the peon population.
Brigadier- G eneral Bell, command
ant at Fort Bliss, awaited official or
ders to-day to ship supplies to the
army over the Mexico Northwestern
railroad. Gasoline, forage, canned
goods and flour will go forward as
soon as the orders are received.
Supplies to Go in Soon
The first supplies to be sent by rail
to General Pershings columns are eX-
pected to be forwarded to-day from
Juarez following the permission
granted by General Carranza for the
way.
While army officials here did not
conceal their disappointment over the
first chiefs refusal to permit full train
loads to enter Mexico under American
military government, they were visi-
bly, relieved at the prospect of using
the railroad in even a limited way.
Line in Bad Shape
Anxiety is now mainly centered on
what can be hoped for from the dill
apidated Northwestern railroad. For
some time a schedule of only one train
in two days has been maintained be-
tween Juarez and Casas Grandes. The
distance is 16S miles and the trip is
made in from 2 to 20 hours. heav-
lily loaded freight train is expected to
take much longer than this.
One important question upon which
the army officials here are anxious to
obtain light is exactly what interpre-
tation will be placed by the Mexican
officials on General Carranza's instruc-
tons that supplies must be shipped in
the ordinary manner as commercial
freight. If this is to mean that
freight will only be forwarded on the
regular trains officials say the amount
of supplies to reach General PERISH
ing's base will be very small.
