 which were published in The Farmer.
 The atmosphere along the border is charged with expectancy, he says. The militiamen are chafing at inactivity. but the general impression is that they will see real military activity soon.
 MT. Pollock obtained scores of in- teresting photographs showing the rigors of motoring through the desert country.
 He speaks very highly of the spirit of comtadeship that prevails in the motor truck contingent. They are not bound by military conventions to the extent that prevails among the enlist ed soldiers, yet they are real patriots. Many of the truck drivers are men who have earned large salaries, but have taken up the Mexican task through love of adventure, or loy- alty, or both.
 The heat in the Mexican territory is not so severe, MT. Pollack says, as the | average northerner believes. There is a considerable elevation, Co., 'lumbus being more than 4,000 feet above sea level. The air is dry. Sleep ing at night without blanket would be most uncomfortable. Even oni the hot days, when the thermometer is about the 100 mark, there is strong breeze. The country is singuiarly deserted by able bodied men. Old men, chill dren, and women are plentiful, but to geo an able bodied man anywhere in the region where the troops have pen- etrated is most unusual. This Is accounted for in the fact that the able bodied men have given up all hope of raising crops, because of the pillage of the soldiery and bandits, and have gone into the service of one of the chiefs.
