 FUNSTON AT SAN ANTONIO.
Is Allowed Four More Motor Trucl,
 Companies.

San Antonio, Tex May l3.-Major General Funston. eommsndant of the southern department, arrived here tonight from Ei paso He will assume the new and urgent duties which have devolved on him by the big addition of militia and regulars to his department. Plans will be mapped out at once for the distri- button of troops. though this does not mean there will be movements soon.
 It was learned at southern de- pertinent headquarters tonight that the war department had allowed General Funston four more motor truck trains of 28 cars each. These trucks will carry three tons each. They will be sent to Fort Sam Hou- ston for distribution Army men praise truck hauling as compared t0 transportation by army wagons and believe it is far superior in many circumstances.
 The trucks which have been in use in Mexico have one ton and a half capacity and 2 cars to the company The additional ear ia the new companies was added for the purpose of hauling the equip ment of a military guard and other freight not included in the com panys assigned cargo.

\ Martyr Lawyer.

The name of Harry s. Stokes. a lawyer of Nashville, Tenn, should go down in history along with those of the nations most illustrious mar tyrs. Stokes was shot to death in cowardly fashion by an opposing lawyer in the taxpayers suit which Stokes instituted at his own expense m an effort to recover some of the peoples money which was stolen by erafters under the regime of Mayor Hawse.
 Those who doubted Stokes sin- eerity in his fight for a clean gov ernment of his city can no longer doubt it since the probating of his will revealed that he bequeathed $i0,000 to his legal associates to be used in carrying on the fight. Stokes had spent some S20.O00 of his own money carrying on the bat ties which resulted in the custer of Mayor Hilary Howse and his asso- ciates.
 Tn the event the city hall cases
 are undetermined when my death
 occurs, says the will, T desire my
 executors to furnish my associates
 sum of money not to exceed
 si0000, and this money shall be
 expended by them as they deem
 hest"
 Further he specified the be-
 quest was to be used in the cause
 of good government in Nashville.
 In order to protect his family, Stokes took out life and accident in- suranee policies totaIling Si60.000 some of the companies cancelled the policies he carried because oi the extreme danger he was in of violent death. Yet this man did not budge an inch from his purpose un- tll the sudden death for which he had prepared cut him of and showed the people what his efforts had meant to them.
 Would that there were more law yers like Harry s. Stokes. fighting for the cause of the people without recompense and despite the threats of assassination Southwest Amer ican.

NITROGEN CROPS ARE NEEDED.
Expert Urges Planting of Cowpeas
 Soy Beans and Clover.

Thousands of acres of cowpeas. soy beans and clover should be grown in Arkansas. This will not only mean more and better feed for the live stock, but more money from Arkansas cotton" says w. c. Las setter of the extension service.
 Rich land pays a nice profit on cotton, but poor land must be paid to grow it. Throw on the fertilizer and almost any poor land will grow cotton. But it will be much better, much more lasting and much more profitable to rest a few acres of cot ton land each year on clover.
 Not only is it important to set aside a few acres for these soil building crops, but every acre de- voted to corn should do double duty by providing cowpeas. soy beans or peanuts in addition These crops can be planted in rows with the corn at corn planting time. or at corn thinning time or later. They can be planted in the rows between the corn rows. If planted so as not to interfere with the cultivation these crops will not reduce the yield If corn.
 Every farmer should leave cot- ton of of some of the worn fields this year and SOW eowpeas. soy beans of peanuts. If the land is in- feeted with medatodes or cotton wilt, plant none but the Iron or Brabham varieties of COW peas. Since seed of these varieties are scarce, it would be well tc inquire early, but frow some one of these crops.m

Tex, left here yesterday in a high-powered motor car for the scene of the ban dit outrage. She was accompanied by her son, Dixon, of Los Angeles.
 T received telegram from the War Department lost night saying my husband had been killed by Mexican outlaws said Mrs. Deem CT today, "and I determined ,o leave immediately for Boquillas to look after our property there.
 My husband was resident Of Boquillas for twenty years and was we'll known among the Mexicans in that district About two years ago a Mexican named pantelon variole was arrested at Boquilas on q charge of murder, and my husband. who was justice of the peace. tried the case. A certain lawless element refused to testify against Variole and he was given his freedom. De- spite this he told my husband that some day he would kill him and I believe he is one of the bandits who raided the two towns.

UNCLE sAMs HOTTEST SPOT.
\ New and Longer Thermometer Will Record Heat of Death Valley.

Death Valley is the hottest place in the United States It lies in the desert of Southern California not far from the Nevada line. 4 weath CT bureau thermometer was in- stalled there some years ago at Furnace Creek, the only inhabited spot in the valley. There one or two white men and two or three In- dian families maintain little ranch. raising alfalfa and selling it at exorbitant prices to the few pros pectors and the rare scientists who wander that way. One of the white men keeps the weather record.
 The thermometer is properly ex- posed above a gently slopinc plain of gravel in a regulation shelter such as is used all over the coun- try. No other out-of-door ther- mometer in the United States. or perhaps in the world. is so familiar with temperatures of 100 degrees or more. During the period of not quite i,500 days from the spring of 1911 to May. 1915, a maximum tenn perature of 100 degrees or more was reached on 5fS days, CT more than one third of the time.
 One day in July, i9i3-the tenth of the month, to be exact-the mer- cury rose to t3i degrees and hit the top of the tube. How much higher i it could have gone no one can tell That day marks the limit of tenn perature yet reached, according to official records in this country. A new thermometer with a greater range has been installed, ard per- haps this summer we may hear of a temperature of i40 degrees.

Rores the smaIIest HoIe.

When Governor Hays said that the twelve mill tax was largely to give teachers larger salaries he showed the smallness of his caiibre. It was a eontemptible thing. The school teachers are the most un- selfish people in this stale. They are working for less salaries than any other class and doing better work than any of us. When you attack the school teachers you are doing the next best thing to attack ing our homes. The teachers take our children and give them the training that fits them for life work. No matter how good the home influence, and it is nearly all ways good. stho home can't make great men. That is the part of the
