Spent Night Near Border

Columbus, n. NJ, March 16.
The American expedition en-
tering Mexico yesterday, spent
an uneventful night, camped
only a short distance across the
boundary line.
General Pershipg accom-
panied the force as far as the
border and then returned with
another part of the troops
which entered MeXico to flank
the main army.
Despite the vigorous censor
ship it became known today
that about five thousand men
entered Mexico and the aero
planes and motor trucks are be-
lieved to have accompanied
them. The flying conditions
are ideal.
When General Pershing gave
the order to march yesterday.
the soldiers stepped forward
with a shout. Cowboys off the
ranges were enrolled as scouts,
and led the way for the SOL
diers. Cavalry, two infantry
regiments, and field artillery
and wagon trains followed. a
long, hazy line of alkali dust
blazing in the sunlight, marked
the progress of the American
army.

El Paso, Texas, March 1G.-
The American eHpeditionary
forces to capture Villa had pen
etrated ten miles into Mexico,
according TO the most reliable
reports today.
Ell Paso, Tex, March 10
The new and powerful army
units are forming rapidly along
the border today to fill the gaps
left yesterday when the first eX-
peditionary force entered Mex
leo.
In Ell Paso, Brigadier General
George Bell, Jr., was busy at
tending to the problem Of az
ranging lines of communication
and supplying food and water
to the more than four thousand
men who are now on the desert
and are getting further away
from the base hourly.
Villa has apparently passed
beyond the American Mormon
colony at Casas Grandes and
the Americans are safe there,
according to reliable dispatch
es. 1t was declared that the Car
ranza soldiers put up a fight
there, preventing Villa from
making his intended raid.
Today's information indicat-
ed that Villa is again on the
move. News of his movement
is being closely guarded.

SUGGEST UI..
OWNERS OF MOTOR CARS MEET,

LAWS, ELECT OFFICERS, MAP

A rousing and enthusiastic meeting
of the Ardmore Motor Association was
held last evening at the rooms of
the chamber of commerce and com
pleted organization. a constitution and
bylaws were adopted, and the tempo
rary organization, consisting of Mark
Kirkpatrick, president, j. w. Harreld,
vice-president, and c. Won Nordheim,
secretary-treasurcr, was made the per-
manent organization for the current
year beginning with March l. In addi-
ton to these, members of the board Of
directors were chosen, including p. d.
Maxwell, Edward Calf and Walter
Critchlow.
Many interesting phases of the OBJ
jects and purposes of the organization
were discussed. The name of the as
sociation was fixed as "Ardmore Motor
Associations" This was done in place
Of "Ardmore Automobile Association" >"
as the three initial letters Of this name
would interfere with the initials Of
the national organization, the \. \. a.
II was also decided to purchase badges
composed of the initials a. NJ. A to

citation, which may be fastened in a
conspicuous place on the members
car. In this way any car belonging to
a member of the association will be
easily distinguishable.
Such as badge alone would have a
decidedly deterrent effect upon any
one inclined to take a joy-ride in any
car belonging to member of the asso-
citation. 1t was the unanimous sense
of the meeting that the association as
a body would take up the prosecution
of auto thieves and in every way pos
sible assist the city and county officers
in the prosecution and conviction of
such vandals.
The association voted to offer a
standing reward of $4,000 for the cap
ture and conviction of persons having
stolen a car belonging to any member
of the association. 1t is a well known
fact that bank robbers as a usual thing
leave institutions which are members
of the American Bankers Association,
severely alone, owing to the fact that
their prosecution never ceases until
the criminal has been brought to just
ice. 1t can easily be seen that the fact
that you are a member Of the ArdmOre
Motor Association, would have an
equally deterrent effect upon anyone
who otherwise might feel tempted to
take a little "ioy-ride" in your car,
and incidentally cause you repair bill
Of several hundred dollars.
Road laws and traffic laws were dis
cussed. And the board of directors
which will hold a meeting at once, will
appoint a strong standing committee

against the rear wall of the house.
Instinctively the man behind the door

A floor like this becomes worn in spots
and has to be renewed at times, but
1t is very easy to place lime In the
depressions, that are worn by the hens,
and put little water on 1t.
The chicken house should always
be faced toward the south, and the
north and west sides should be care
fully closed. Chickens have very little
body heat, so the house must be care
fully protected against the cold. The
ventilation cannot be handled in the
Same way it is in stock barns. Thin
cotton is stretched over the windows
facing the south, and this provides
good ventilation without causing any
drafts, which are very dangerous to
poultry. Very little headroom is need
ed by chickens, so the back of this
house is only made five feet ten inches
high, while the front is seven feet ten
inches. A small place such as this
can be kept warm by the poultry.
Poultry houses are often neglected
in regard to appearances. There is
no particular reason for this except
that the building is small and people
think that 1t will not make any differ
ence. The necessary paint to make
chicken house can be had
for very little money and 1t can be ap-
piled easily IN short time.

means that the man who owns them is
paying for a well-lighted house easily
out of what they make for him.
1t is absolutely necessary to have a
concrete foundation, as it is very dis
cOuraglng to rats and mice to attempt
to dig through this material In this
little house the concrete walls are car
ried up one foot six inches above
grade, which forms a very effective
barrier against the rodents that think
chicken houses form ideal dwellings
for them. The floor is also made of
concrete, so that the rats cannot bur-
row up from underneath. The floor
should be well coXered with straw and
the feed can then be scattered through
this.
Strong, vigorous hens can only be
maintained if they are given plenty
of exercise. This is furnished by max
ing them scratch for their meals. The
grain that is given to them should be
scattered through straw on the floor
of the house. It's a great sight to
watch a flock of healthy hens make
the straw fly when they want a meal.
Many poultry men make the floor of
lime because they say the concrete
wears the claws of the hens.
Burned lime is placed over the
ground several inches deep and is
packed down hard. Sufficient water
is then put on the lime to slake 1t
properly so that it will form a pasty
mortar, which is then allowed to dry
and harden. This sort Of a floor is
very satisfactory and also furnishes

Constant use and continued sharp
