CHAUTAUQUA DATES
SET---JUNE I, 8, 9.
Organization Perfected for Boosting Great
Event Gov. Rye to be Invited to Visit
Dresden During Chauhaqua.

I Be a booster for the Dresden
Chautuaqua!
Everybody boost-men, women
and the children!
On last Monday, in the Weak
ley County Bank, was organized
the Dresden Booster club, with
Dresden's handsomest young law
yer, Harry E. Jones, president;
W. T. Klllebrew, secretary-treas-
urer; Harrell Moran, chairman
of agricultural committee; F. Y.
Fuqua, chairman educational COM
mittee; Joe L. Holbrook, chair
man booster brigade, Herbert
Jones, captain of the blues; Lester
McCuan, captain Of the reds, and
Mr.. H. Levy and Lester McCuan,
advertising committee.
The chautuaqua dates are
Wednesday, Thursday and Friday,
June 7, s and 9.
The opening day will begin
with an agricultural program in
the forenoon, to which no adj
mission will be charged. Promi-
nent agriculturalists will be in
vited here to talk to the farmers,
holding sort of short course in
agriculture.
Gov. Rye will be invited to de-
liver an address here in the
morning on one of the three days,
and it is practically certain that
he will accept the invitation,
There will be three programs
= Iaily-10 a. NJ, 3 p. m. and 8
D. m. For the 10 o'clock hour
there will be no admission fee
charged, and all will be invited
to attend this program.
A prominent feature of the
entertainment is the contest be-
tween the reds and blues,
championed by Herbert Jones and
Lester McCuan. Herbert will
have charge Of all blue tickets,
while Lester will look after the
red tickets, and it is agreed that
if Testers side sells a greater
number of tickets than Herbert's,
Herbert is to appear on the
stage, before the audience on the
last night of the chautauqua and
saw a large stick of wood in two,
using a buck saw. Myl won't
that be fun? Think of a lawyer
saving wood These young gen
tlemen have lined up with them
in the sale of the tickets all the
pretty girls in towa, and it's
ooino to be a battle royal. Every
one in town will simply have to
purchase a ticket-and some Of
you will want half a dozen tickets.
In fact, the fun has already start
ed. Keep it goingl Maybe there
will be tie, in which case both
Herbert and Lester both will be al
lowed to saw wood.
This is going to be a big
occasion for Dresden. No other
small town in the state ever had
chautauqua. 1t is a feather in
Dresden's cap, 1t is backed and
guaranteed by some Of our lead
ing public-spirited business men
who have signed the guarantee,
and it is up to the balance of us
to see that they do not have to go
down in their pockets to pay for
the splendid three days entertain
ment which all Of us will enjoy.
We wonder if there will be man
In our town too economical to
purchase ticket? Surely no
business man can afford not to
buy as many as three or four.

in 1913, This accounted for the ampu-
tation. Since then he has been five
times arrested for various kinds OF

procure, by some means, uniform OF

WILL INCREASE THE ARMY
House Passes Resolution To Add TO-
600 Men to Present Force For Pro-
lection to Border.

Washington.--A joint resolution au-
thorizing the president to bring the
regular army up to full strength by
adding 1s.447 men to existing organ
izations has been passed in the house
without objection or debate and with
but one dissenting vote.
Representative Hay, chairman Of
the military committee, had asked for
immediate consideration of the reso-
luton. saying the step was necessary
on account OF demands Of citizens
along the border for additional pro-
lection during the march Of the punt
tive expedition into Mexico. There
was no objection and the resolution
was passed in five minutes.
On the viva voce vote one may
was heard. Minority Leader Mann
demanded a rising vote. which re
suited In 2s6 30 1, representative Lon.
don, Socialist. OF New York, voting in
the negative.
Representative Hay told the house
the administration had recommended
this plan rather than call for the mil
itia or volunteers. The president
wanted to alIay any suspicion, he
said, that the government sought to
accomplish anything in the Mexican
expedition except the pursuit Of villa.

CRISIS STlRS THE SENATE
Senator Chamberlain Urges That Pre-

Iy-Fear Grave Complications.

Washington.-Danger of grave com.
plieations growing out Of the sending
OF American troops into Mexico to
hunt down villa and his bands was
urged in the Senate by Senator Cham
berlain, chairman of the military com
mittee. and Senator Borah, Republic
an, in advocating laying aside tempo
rarity all other legislation In order to
dispose promptly of preparedness
measures. Their statements precipi-
tated a general discussion, in which
Senator'S Vardaman and Simmons dep
recated suggestions that the United
States was not prepared to deal with
any situation that might arise in its
relations with Mexico, while Senator
Hoke Smith urged that the military
committee should bring in immediate
ly bill to double the enlisted strength
of the army as an emergency measure,
leaving the general reorganization bill
to maturer consideration.
While the Senate debate was in
progress Speaker Clark and Majority
Leader Kitchin were reporting to their
colleagues of the House on confer
ence with President Wilson, who urged
them to speed up the legislative pro
gram with a view to action on all Inn
portant measures in time for adjourn
ment in June. The House leaders
agreed that it would be impossible to
accomplish the task ahead in so short
time, although steps will be taken
to hurry on with the work as rapidly
as possible.
Demands for immediate action on
the preparedness bills we're made in
the Senate when the matter of taking
up the public lands, water power and
rural credit legislation was preached.

ADVANCE TROOPS
CROSS TO MEXICO
GEN. PERsHlNe's SOLDIERS MOVE
OUT FROM COLUMBUS, N. NJ
TO CAPTURE VILLA.
REPORT VILLA SURROUNDED
carranza MoblIIzes His Troops Near
Chihuahua Hiding Place To An
tieIpate the U. s.-censorship
10 Strictly Drawn.

El Paso, Texas.--Through the thick
veil of censorship established by Gen.
Funston sufficient information has
leaked that the advance guard of the
first expeditionary force in pursuit
OF Villa has actually crossed the Dor.
der. According to the report Gen,
Pershing's advanced guard crossed
the border at Columbus. N. NJ.
While the border waited in keen ex.
pectancy for word that United States
soldiers had crossed the information,
al line, reports flowed in from Mex.
lean sources that Mexico's arch ban
dit already had been surrounded by
Carranza troops. The first chief"
apparently was making strenuous ef
forts to anticipate the Americans and
was reported from several sources to
have concentrated more than 10000
troops at different points along the
Casas Grandes region, in Chihuahua,
where villa is supposed to be.
The officers OF the Tenth Cavalry
left here for Coumbus shortly after II
was learned that the passage of trans.
port trains between here and the
scene of the Villa raid had ceased.
They were practically the last of the
corps officers stationed here. The
stoppage Of transport trains, the
movement of which had not ceased
night or day since the news OF the
Columbus raid was flashed through
che country, was taken to mean that
che concentration OF supplies at Co
lumbus has been practically com.
pleted.
On account Of the censorship the lit
lie definite news that reached here
from Columbus was brought by in.
coming passengers. They reported
that while military activities were
being pushed at feverish speed the in.
dications were that II would be some
days before the main punitive force
moved. 1t is considered likely, how.
ever, that advance scouting parties
may cross the border within "a
hours.
A number of motion picture men
who hurried from here early in the
belief that the crossing was about to
be effected, returned disappointed.
They reported that Gen. Pershing, in
command Of the expedition, had is
sued positive orders that no picture
could be taken.
The strong undercurrent OF excite
ment along the border was stirred by
news that a Southern Pacific train
had been fired upon at Belen, Tex,
II miles east of here. Conductor Rog
ers. in charge of the train, said sew
eral shots were fired from underbrush,
near the station.

object of capturing him and putting
