 were drafted by Secretary Baker today after conferences with President Wilson and Secretary Lansing. General Obregor was due at Eagle Pass tonight, but nc definite word has becr received from him as to the time and place of the meeting.

 The instructions are to discuss basis
 for the most cordial and complete co.

 While the immediate object of the con- ference is question of military dispo- sitions to put an end to bandit opera. tions along the border, there is no doubt that it's result will have strong influ- ence upon the diplomatic negotiations be- tween the two governments
 It is considered certain that General Obregon will carry back to Mexico City on his return definite impression that the American troops will remain in the positions to which General Funston now is shifting them as a buffer between the disturbed area of northern Mexico and the border until the success of the Car ranza forces in pursuing the bandits re- moves the danger of further raids or (Continued on Page Twelve)

 The Villa bandits were encamped in a jagged, rocky canyon when they caught sight of the American column. Through the mountain pass the two commands struggled, the Villa bandits dropping all cumbersome equipment in precipitate flight.
 Once during the flight the Villa forces received reininforcements and attempted vainly to make a stand against the Americans. Colonel Dodd pursued the Villa bandits toward Minaca, his base, where he is now reported to be awaiting supplies. Colonel Dodd was officially commended for the promptness shown by his small. outnumbered force,

WHAT ABOUT SHOW?
Shall Mansfield Give Her
Fall Festivities as Usu-
al This Year?

viii Mansfield hold her annual
Agricultural and Stock Show
this year:
This is a question often asked
these days.
What is the answer.
DO YOU want the show
We have held highly success
ful shows here in the past and
we see no reason why we cannot
have another one this year.
Other places are announcing
their dates and making prepare
tOnS for their fall show, but
rotliug has been done here as
far aS we have been able To learn.
Cities which have not held shows
for years lr" preparing to give
them this year. Why: Because
they think they are for the good
of the cities ana surrounding
country.
We would like to see meeting
called and arrangements made
for good show here this fall.

WE "CLEANED UP!"
Monday and Tuesday Were
So Observed-The Park
Flowers Look Fine

Monday and Tuesday wer'
clean up days in Mansfield and /;
large amount of trash was gath
cred up all over town. This GER
tainly adds much to the looks
and healthfulness of the city
There are still some places that
have not been cleaned up. 1t is
the desire of the city officials
that this cleaning up be done at
once, so that when the trash is
hauled away next week the job
may be thorough one. All
trash that is ready to be hauled
away when the wagons call will
be hauled away at the expense
of the city. Won't you do your
part and be ready for the wagons
when they call? Do it now.
The Boy Scouts, under the di,
rection of Scoutmaster W. H.
Fullington, did good work by dis
tributing circulars calling upon
the citizens to observe the clean,
up days, and also by selling fly.
sWatCers.
The park has assumed a most
pleasing aspect as 4 result of the
work done by Mayor + II. Riley,
assisted by other citizens. Sew.
eral attractive flower beds now
adorn the park and add much to
it's beauty. Flowers purchased
for the park this year cost Sl4.9O,
and between Sc and 81 has been
subscribed for the payment of
this bill. Any one who has not
already paid 25c on this bill and
wishes to have a part in this
good work may leave the money
at this Office and it will be ap.
piled ON the bill. We are all
proud of our park and 25c is a
small amount for each one to pay.
Won't you help:
