TROOPS FLOCK
TO THE BORDER
Twelve Thousand Soldiers Gathered
Near New Mexico Town Be-
fore Expedition Starts.

Columbus, N. NJ, March Alt is
understood here General Pershing is
to assume immediate command of the
troops already concentrated here for
the punitive expedition against Villa
into Mexico. Commands now at Co
lumbus muster approximately $500
men.
/ Several other commands are ex-
pected, the plan apparently being to
make the column to move out of Co
lumbus, the main unit of the expe-
dictionary force with field wireless and
aeroplane equipment.
Organizations now here are eight
troops of the Thirteen Cavalry, with
the First Squadron en- route from
Maria, Tex, and other border points
east, the Sixth and Sixteenth regi-
ments of infantry, three companies
of the First Battalion of the Twentieth
Infantry. Batteries A. b. and c, COM
posing twelve mountain guns of the
Fourth Field Artillery, Battery C, of
the Sixth Field Artillery, field wire
less organization, field hospital and
ambulance.
1t was reported that in addition to
the First, Ninth, Tenth and Eleventh
regiments of the cavalry, two squad
rons of the Twelfth would be dispatch
here at once.
Another report stated that three
aeroplanes were en- route here from
San Diego, Cal.
General Pablo Bertani, commanding
the garrison of 1000 Carranza troops
at Palmoas, six miles south of the bor-
der. yesterday notified American mill
tary authorities that he expected to
call on General Pershing for a confer
ence
1900 Troops On Border.
Approximately 1900 troops with
forty mountain and field gun batteries
were on the border last night be-
tween Douglas, Ariz., and Ell Paso, a
line about 200 miles long A little
more than one-third of this force was
cavalry.
From a camp of few hundred men,
Columbus yesterday grew to a mill
tary establishment of nearly 1000,
with indications that about 1000 men
are to be concentrated here immedi-
ately. Further evidence that this
point may be the starting place of the
largest column in immediate pursuit
of Villa appeared in the erection of
headquarters for Brigadier General
John G. Pershing, whom Major Gen
eral Funston announced would be the
leader of the expeditionary force. Off
GERS here talked of march straight
southwark in pursuit of Villa. Troop
movements seemed to bear out reports
that while the Columbus column is
striking south, another movement will
be made from the vicinity of Ell Paso,
and a third from the Arizona line
somewhere near Douglas. Both the
Ella Paso and Douglas movements
would be able to follow rail lines,
while the central column from here
would have TO go overland.
Belief here last night was that the
Columbus column would be ready to
start by Thursday or Friday. Intel
ligence department officers secured
maps and topography charts of the
mountainous Chihuahua bor-
der into which it seems possible for
Villa to hide with his present start
Villas position, according to reports
received by General Pablo Bertani, in
command of 1000 soldiers just across
the Mexican border from here was
at Corralitos. where he stopped more
than two days ago.

Twenty.EOur Years Ago.

In regard to the discussion of the
removal of the University from Co
lumbia the Board of CuratOrs of The
University say in part: The moral
and intellectual forces that indicate
the necessity of rebuilding the Univer-
sity at Columbia seems to us to be
overwhelming. Around the Univers-
ity at Columbia cluster all the sacred,
happy memories of more than
fifty years, almost the entire life of
the state of Missouri. From it have
gone out into the world ten thousand
students. The University has nodded
and determined the character of Co.
lumbia. Few places possess superior
advantages to Columbia for fos-
tering the interests of a great niver-
sity. And, furthermore. if Columbia
has ever failed in its duty TO the Uni
versity it had not come to our
knowledge"

ROAD WORK IN MISSOURI URGED
Judge Lowe Pushes Completion OF
Link in Highway This Year.

Judge ]. NJ. Lowe of Kansas City,
president of the National Old Trails
Association. has issued a letter to the
citizens of the counties through which
the National Old Trails Road runs in
Missouri in which he urges the com
pletion of NissOuri's link in the high
way this year. While in Columbia last
August, Judge Lowe predicted the
completion of the Missouri link this
year.
In the letter Judge Lowe says that
there is Just one of three alternative
ways under existing laws in which this
can be done, either by the countrywide
bond system. the benefit district plan
or the eight-mile special road district.
The adoption of any plan will cost
about the same, about 10 cents an
acre Hence the countrywide system
is very much the better plan. The
benefit district, recently confirmed by
the United States Supreme Court, af-
fOrds a workable plan whereby per-
manent roads can be built wherever
desired

BUYING THE NEW SPRING HAT

"On with the old hat and on with
the new" is the chief ambition of the
spring maids at present. And in
deed no creation of flowers, straw
and silk. when jauntily placed on the
head of the dainty young miss, be-
trays by a change OF color, a crack
or a rustic the grea, pains that have
been taken in its selection.
The purchase of spring hat means
two or three trips TO the millinery
stores and many minutes OF anxious
searching among the hundreds of hats
put out for the inspection Of young
and old, rich and poor A girl must
please not only herself when she
finally makes her choice; she must
also conform to the tastes of a criti-
cal mother, father and big brother,
who are each filled with ideas as to
what sister" looks best in And
then there are the companions, whose
glances of admiration and appreciation
are necessary in order that she may
be fully pleased win her new hat
And so she tries on hat arter hat,
takes up hand mirror, walks up and
down before the large glass and in
spects herself from every angle. Not
a view that spite or envy or criticism
might get but what is observed by
the hat buyer. And as she walks
about she mentally reviews her ward
robe to see that the color combina ion
of the hat harmonizes with the dresses
to be used with it, After many an
anxious pause, she finally decides.
Next day she wears the hat, and her
long and anxious search is rewarded
by the looks of surprise and envy
mirrored on the faces of her friends.

HERE'S A MODERN MEAT MARKET
iIetzler Brothers Will Open New Store
Formally March l..

Many an old settler saw great
changes when the new Hetzler Meat

their own and they went to the new
building yesterday to see further
changes. Young Columbians were
there. too.
This is the only market of its kind
in Columbia. 1t has attracted atten-
ton from the first by its use of the
suspended roof and later by its show
windows. with their three sides open
to the sidewalk. J. p and W. J.
Hetzler are the owners. A delicatessen
shop is included in the market.
The building is modern through
out. All counters and wall cabinets
for the meat are Refrigerated by cold
air forced through pipes running from
an engine in the basement Little
wood is used in the construction.
White tiling, concrete and glass take
its place. Ceiling trucks simplify the
handling of meat, which is first re-
ceived and weighed in a rear ROOM
This truck is so arranged that the
meat can be rolled from one room to
another, into the freezing and display
room, which have glass fronts Wis
ible from the street
Offices are at the side of the meat
counter. which is directly beneath a
large skylight; the delicatessen shop
is al the right. A tiled basin in the
right show-window has a fountain
for the display Of live fish. Just back
of it is the steel-cutting coffee mill,
run by electricity. which refines coffee
and grinds it at the same time.
