ALL POINT TO CHRISTIAN

Christian county has recently voted
100000 for good roads. After April
l the papers of the state will be men,
tioning the fact that Union county has
joined the 'progressives" by voting
S450,0OO for road purposes. In no
county in the state where there has
been held an election for the purpose
of issuing bonds has the measure been
defeated. How sad it would be if
Union county, the noblest of them all,
should prove to be the exception and
turn down the bonds, thereby pre-
venting the building of good roads!
But why contemplate the impossible?

Del Rio, Texas, March 26.-In-

the troops are Carranzistas.
Three hundred soldiers of the

self from the dangerous position into
which he had been driven by the
American punitive force was related
in detailed report of Gen. Pershing
that reached Gen. Funston today.
Gen. Funston forwarded the report
to Washington without making public
any but the essential features.
Col. Dodd is commanding the adj
vance columns that are riding hard
after Villa and his men and Gen.
Pershing has divided his forces so as
to provide supporting columns along
the thinly stretched lines Of commu-
nications from his most advanced base
at Ell Vale. From Ell Vale another
line is being maintained back to Casas
Grandes, directing the work of hold
ing together his forces and directing
so far as possible the operations of
Col. Dodd. Cavalry is being used
along the lines of communication with
Ell Vale, where a detachment of in
fantry is stationed.
Three aeroplanes are at Ell Vale
and will be used in scouting as soon
as the high winds that have been
sweeping that part of Mexico for al
most week subside, and which, ac-
cording to Gen. Pershing, have made
effective assistance by them impos-
sible.
OF the eight machines that went in
to Mexico, two are still out of COM

BANKS ASSESSED
AT 100 PER CENT.
Increased From so Statutory
Direction, Says State
Auditor Greene.

Frankfort, KY, March 27.-Banks
and trust companies will be assessed
at 100 per cent. instead of 80 by the
State Board of Valuation and Assess
ment this year.
Eight years ago the board began
taking 80 per cent. of the total capital
of the banks as the amount of
their assessment, and it was continued
under the last administration. State
Auditor Greene said, however, that
the board has only one statutory di-
rection in regard to the assessment of
property and that is to make its fair
cash value.
Auditor Greene, Treasurer Good
paster and Secretary of State Lewis
are considering the method of assess
ing banks and other corporations. II
is undecided whether they will take
the value of the stock as returned by
the banks or find the valuation from
the capital and surplus and net earn
ings. The two systems, tits believed,
will bring very little difference in re-
suits.
The total revenue from banks last
year, according to the State Auditor S
reports, was $2l7,521.79, and a 20
per cent increase would add S43,
504. % from that source.

BRITISH AIR
RAID ENDS IN
SEA BATTLE
English Fleet EscOrting Aero
plane Sinks Two Ger
man Trawlers.
GERMANS CONTINUE SEIGE
Submarines Believed to Have
Sent Three British Ships
to Bottom.

A British air raid on Schleswig-
-HOlstein and resultant battle between
British warships and German armed
trawlers, in which three seaplanes
were brought down, two German
armed trawlers were sunk and Brit
ish torpedo boat probably was in col
lisiOn, gives diversity to the latest
war operations.
The violent bombardment of Yer
dun continues, while to the north Of
the fortress and in the WGvre region
intermittent cannonading is in prog
ress. No infantry attacks have been
launched by the Germans except to
the southeast of Fort Douaumont,
where Berlin reports a hand-to-hand
encounter with the advantage on the
side Of the Germans.
The French in the Argonne forest
are keeping up their bombardments
OF German positions. Considerable
artillery activity by the French also
has been shown in the Vosges The
explosion OF a French mine in this
region inflicted heavy losses on the
French, according to Berlin. The
German position was not impaired.
On the Russian front the Germans
attempted an offensive in the region
of Jacobstadt, but were repulsed,
while the Russians captured a Ger
man trench in the region of Dyinsk.
Heavy fighting is still going on in the
lake region southeast of Dvinsk. Here,
Berlin says, the Russian attacks broke
down.
Storms in the mountain regions OF
the AustrO-Italian lines have impeded
operations, but Commandments are
continuing on the Isonzo front
In the costal region of the Russo
Turkish war theater the Russians are
making good progress against the
Turks, and also farther south in the
Lake Van region have thrown their
lines still further forward.
Three more British steamers have
been sunk, presumably by German
submarines. They are the Minneap-
oils, once plying between American
ports and London; the ST. Cecilia, on
a voyage from Portland, Me-, for Lon
don, and the Fenay Bridge, bound
from Philadelphia for Hull. The
crews of the st. Cecilia and Fenay
Bridge were rescued. The fate of
the crew of the Minneapolis is not
known.
The exact number of casualties on
board the cross channel steamer Sus-
sex, which was blown up in the chan

RAW BEEF AS ILLUMINANT
Scientist Proves II Is Possible to Read
by Light Given of by
Meat.

There is electric light, gas light,
candle light. and there are other well
known methods of illumination, but
the strangest of all lights is that dis
covered by Professor Molisch, we'll
known Austrian scientist
He has recently demonstrated that
1t is possible to read a newspaper by
the light of a raw beef or pork sau-
sagel All unminced meat contains a
microbe which gives of light, and with
sausages, when the mlcrobe Is present,
the light is much stronger than that
given off by whole joints. These par
ticular microbes do not indicate decay.
Indeed, in no case have they been
found in meat which was unfit for hui
man consumption. So you can read by
your sausage first--and then eat 1t, ac-
cordlng TO Professor Molisch.
The stumps of old trees often give
off precisely similar light, which
scientists say is due to microscopic
animals which die as soon as the wood
is sapless The phosphorescent light
on the ocean comes from minute ami
mails which live on seaweed.
1t Is said that the Cuban freely pro-
vides a satisfactory light. The secret
of the light which this beetle gives is
undiscovered. Its great regularity Is
that 1t appears and disappears spas
medically, so that the Cubans need
to keep about a dozen insects in a
bottle at once, in order to he sure of
getting light bright enough to read
by.
