final plans and promises that all

than few showers and these will not
spoil the celebration.

streets and business houses are re-
splendent in the red, white and blue

the morning with the firing of the
national salute and will continue with
something doing every minute until
midnight The big features will be
the patriotic preparedness parade and
speaking in the morning, the free
barbecue at Roundup Park at noon,
the program of sports including the
head-on collision of automobiles at
the park in the afternoon and the
Mardi Gras and free dancing in the
evening

children and the two hired men were
in the house and, having seen the
dark clouds gathering, were somewhat
apprehensive. According to Tom Gill,
one of the men, they kept looking up
the canyon every few minutes to see
whether water was coming but, so
suddenly did the flood come down up
on them. that wall of water twelve
feet high was only a short distance
away when they discovered it.

he and the other men grabbed one of
the young children. Mrs. McCabe

The state department announced
this today. saying that the situation
was staus quo. especially because of
Carranza's surrender Of the Carrizal
Prisoners had relieved the tension.
The fact the Lansing has not at
tempted to extract an answer from
Carranza since requesting Arredondo
to hurry the reply is interpreted as
meaning that the United States has
secret assurances that Carranza will
adjust the situation if given time. In
d!cations We're that he will continue
to wait upon Carranza unless there are

der
It was indicated that the immedi-

relieved the situation so Lansing can
