VILLA L00TS
CHIHUAHUA

Ell PASO, Tex, Dec. AFTER
systematically looting and evacu-
ating Chihuahua City, Villa is to-
day marching westward toward
the mountains of Western Chihua-
hua, carrying four trainloads of
loot and supplies.
At Z o'clock Saturday night
Mexican government troops re-oc-
cupied the northern capital with
out bloodshed.
In the first message exchanged
after the wires were re-opened be-
tween Chihuahua and the border,
nothing was said of the fate of the
six Americans who were known to
have been in Chihuahua City when
1t was attacked and captured by
Villistas week ago.
Every preparation is being
made to garrison the city more
heavily than heretofore.

FINE CHANCE
FOR Y. M. E.. A

A. V. Love, one of the enthusi-
.astic workers in the army post
committee, believes the coming of
the camp will be not moral men,
ace, as the presence Of an army
post used to be considered by some
cities, but a positive boon for such
organizations as the Y. NJ. c. A.
1t will supply such agencies the
finest possible field for activity.
e. H. Todd, president of the
College of Puget Sound, is equally
enthusiastic. for he expects to OBJ
tain hundreds of students from
the enlisted men studying to fit
themselves for commissions.

One of the attractive pos
sibilities of the army post
project is that the entire TO-
900 acres may become a great
national park.
When people go to the polls
to vote on the bond issue Jan.
6 they will find, II present
plans are carried out, two
propositions.
One will be the simple
question whether 100000
in bonds shall be issued to
pay condemnation awards for
land to be turned over to the
United States.

A Great PARK

The other will be in regard
to the establishment of a park
to be used jointly by the gov
eminent and the people of
Pierce county.
The idea is that vast sec.
lions of the 10000 acres
would not be used by the SOL
diers except when extensive
maneuver work was in prog
ress. The public, in the mean
time, could get much benefit
from having such a camping
and recreation ground.
A 70,000-acre park, and
Uncle Sam to maintain it!

CASEY ON LAW ENFORCEMENT.

Knoxville, Iowa, EXpress)
It has become so fashionable to de-
nounce Attorney Odle, of Des MOines,
for his efforts to turn a penny by the
enforcement of the sO-called "blue
laws" of Iowa, that The Express feels
impelled to say a good word for Odle.
What are these blue laws" anyhow,
and why should we introduce the
chromatic scale in such matters? If
a bill has been introduced into the leg
islature, voted for by majority of
that body, and signed by the governor,
it is law, without any ''ifs" or ''ands",
and without any reference to it's color.
If it is not to be enforced, why was it
passed? If it was right and proper
to aid in securing enforcement of some
laws by offering a pecuniary reward
for those who give their time and eff
fort to that work, why denOunce the
man who comes to the front to take
up the work for the reward offered
by the law? We do not denOunce the
prosecuting attorneys or the sheriffs
who ferret out law-breakers in re-
turn for their annual salary, but we
denounce the Odles who do for a
commission precisely what the law
wants done toward it's enforcement.
If we do not want the prOhibitory law
or the Sunday law or any other law
enforced we should not ask men like
Odle to devote their time to such en-
forcement on a commission basis; if
we do not want such laws enforced,
why pass them at all? OF course,
The Express knows why so many of
these laws are passed and then SO
poorly executed: Because so many
peanut politicians went to fanthe tenn
perance element and the moral ele-
ment by rigorous laws, and then want
to ingratiate themselves with the law
less elements by failure to enforce
them. Too many legislators go to Des
Moines with water on one shoulder
and whisky on the other. But let us be
frank about these things. Let us not
pose andp retend. Let us pass only
the laws that we are willing OF en-
force, then let us enforce them. If
law is right and for the good society
it should be enforced; if it is not, it
should not have been passed. And If
a law is right and it's enforcement is
for the common good, let us not make
ourselves ridiculous by belittling every
Odle who assists in the enforcement,
even though his reason may be only
the sordid reward we have offered
those who will aid. If Odleism is OBJ
noxious, Odle is not to blame, but the
people and their representatives who
offered him the inducement for which
he works. Odle is merely the ferret
the law has set after the law-breaking
rats. Of course, if we don't want the
rats caught we shouldn't offer induce
ments to the ferret to run them out Of
| their holes.

IS ONE SOURCE OF TROUBLE
Starting Battery Not So Considered
by Many People, but Should Be
Carefully Watched.

The starting battery in an automo-
bile is a source of trouble that many
people do not consider.
1t is sometimes said that a little
distilled water ADDED to the battery
every two or three weeks is all that IS
necessary to keep it in good condition.
This statement is very misleading
ANY electrician will tell you that the
storage battery is very particular
part of the automobile equipment, and
needs a great deal of attention.
Water alone will not keep the bat
terry in good condition. The acid or
electrolyte should be kept to a SPECIFIC
gravity test of 1880 degrees.
On long runs, where the stops are
few, it is possible to charge the bat
terry as fast as it is discharged, but
as a rule you are very apt to use the
current faster than the battery is re-
charged. If this is continued any
great length Of time the battery will
become too weak, starting will be-
come quite impossible, and the bat
terry will be damaged, making repairs
a necessity. Battery repairs are ex-
pensive.
If the electrolyte is not kept to test
mentioned, the battery will freeze in
moderately cold weather, and the jar
will be bursted. It is claimed that
with full charge, and the electro
lyte having a specific gravity test of
1850 degrees, it is quite impossible to
freeze the battery. But on a low
charge and gravity test the elctro.
lyte becomes distilled water, and Is
very easily frozen.

Food Of the Gods,

Chocolate has long reputation as a
food, though it's manufacture into
cakes is comparatively modern. AS a
beverage the European found it al
ready in high favor when he arrived in
America. The Emperor Montezuma of
Mexico, for instance, had fifty pitchers
of it prepared for his daily ccnsump-
ton, in addition to the 1000 allowed to
his household. And the value of the
cocoa plant made such an impression
on Linnaeus that he named it theo-
broma, which is Greek for food of the
gOds.-LondOn Standard.

VIM. Bausch, ST., shipped a car load
of fine Aberdeen-Angus cattle to Chi
cagO Monday and accompanied the
stock to market. For many years Mr..
Bausch has been firm believer in
raising only pure bred stock and his
judgment has been rewarded by re-
ceiving top price in Chicago market
each time that he has sent in q car of
stock. He now has one of the finest
herds of Aberdeen-Angus cattle in this
section of the country, and markets
a car regularly every second year. Mr..
Bausch is also a strong advocate Of the
siIo and is convinced that silage is not
only the best but cheapest feed for
cattle, either for beef or for dairying.
