MATTERS DOWN IN MEXICO.
Funston and Pershing Call for More.
1roopS-Av viatOrS Active.

ouu AulOHlO, texas, MarCn El.-
Maior-Gcn. Funston to-day asked the
War Department for additional
troops. to be used III the campaign
against villa. He did not state the
number. but explained he wanted an
adequate force to protect the line Of
communication, already more than
100 miles long.
Lack Of news from Gen. pershing
and the absence Of any unofficial re-
ports indicating developments snuLh
Of Casas Grandes since yesterday
cansed Gen. Funston to sean eagerly
all reports brought to his desk, but
this had no bearing OH his request
for additional troops, he said. The
| cutting Of wires. south Of I'll paso
had not been reported to him off,
| cially.
The request for more troops came
simply because Gen. Pershing has
found 1t necessary to stretch his line
OF communications so thin that III
less reinforced soon, operations must
be restricted to limited area.
The detachments Of cavalry sent in
different directions south OF Casas
Grandes has made advisable the sta
tioning Of troops along those lines to
support the mobile forces sweeping
the trails to BabricOrn, Nami0upa
and Carmen. When Babrlcora Is
reached the advanced troops Of the
eXpeditionary forces will be almost
200 miles from the border
Pershing's Request.
Washington. March 21-Brig. Gen.
Pershing has asked for more infantry
to keep open the lines Of communi-
cation behind his flying columns. Ma
jor-Gen. Funston has forwarded the
request to the War Department, and
1T has been taken under considera-
tion.
u. $. Troops to Aid Mexicans.
El paso, Texas, March 21.-Amer-
lean troops have been dispatched to
Las Cruces to aid in fighting Francis
co Villa and his band Of outlaws, who
have been forced into another battle
with the CarranZa troops near that
point.
u. S. Aviators Join Search.
Aviators Of the United States army
! were reported to-day searching the
almost blind trails leading to the
passes in the Sierra Madre noun
tains, where Francisco Villa may
seek to escape after his defeat by the
Carranza forces yesterday at Nami-
qupa.
Details OF the fight, in which Col.
Cano, with about 800 Carranzistas,
took part, are lacking, but 1t is re-
ported that Villa was badly worsted
and that he fled, leaving his dead and
wounded.
Capt. b. d. Foulois is in charge Of
the seven ayiators selected for the
task OF scouting for Villa, who IS ex-
pected to scatter his bandits rather
than risk an engagement with the
American troops, who are said to bar
his way to the north.
Army officers agree that If Villa
breaks up his command into small
bands and turns to the Sierra Madre
mountains as a hiding place it will be
almost impossible to capture him.
He spent his early days as an outlaw
in these mountains, the passes
through which an army and its trans
port may not move. 1t takes ten to
twelve days to negotiate these tortu-
ols PASSES into the Sonora district.
MeXicans here believe villa will
hide himself away in the mountain
fastness until the American troops
have given up the chaac.

Worth Careful THOUGHT

Do you read the label to know whether
your baking powder is made from cream
OF tartar or, on the other hand, from alum
or phosphate?
Royal Baking Powder is made from
cream of tartar, derived from grapes, and
adds to the food only wholesome qualities.
Other baking powders contain alum or
phosphate, both of mineral origin, and
used as substitutes for cream of tartar
because Of their cheapness.
Never sacrifice quality and heathful-
ness for low price.

The spectacular progress of the temperance movement in it's world wide sweep is truly marvellous. Never 'u the history of the world has the cause been making such gigantic strides. The liquor traffic nas been weighed Ill che balance and found wanting.
 The rum devil is leaving the world 70 fast you can scarcely see him for the dust. Russia's mil liens are on the anti-Yodka wagon. Germans soldiers are denied beer France has put absinthe under the Oan. The King of England has climbed the water wagon and said to his subjects, "Follow me-"
 War has vitalized the growing op- position to rum in Europe and the cry of efficiency in the busi- ness world in America has concen- trated the opposition to the liquor traffic In our own land. Banks are refusing to buy whiskey paper and brewery and distillery stocks are going begging on the market.
 The vets have sent out an s. O. s. (Suds or Suicide) call to Uncle Sam saying, "You'lI commit financial suicide if you lose the rum revenue" Uncle pays no heed to this call of distress for he knows it's a selfish holler for themselves" Uncle is getting on fine without saloons in the dry sections. Illinois has aver 800 prosperous cities without saloon li- cense money and they are having an era of prosperity such as they have never known before. Uncle is be- ginning to believe with Gladstone that "a sober nation can find rev enue to sustain the government"
 Saloons have been weighed in the balances of the moral, social, scien- tiGic and business world and found wanting.

SUMNER STORAGE
How to Care For Your Pet FurS
 and WoolenS.
MOTH BALLS TO THE FORE.

Although We Can't see Our White
 Winged Enemies Flying About, Their
 Larvae May Even Now Be Boring
 Into Our Ermine stoIes and sablos.
 Now is the time to lay away all wooIens, furs and similar articles which must be stored during the sum- mer.
 The time when the n.oth does most damage is not when we see him flying around. The mischief has been done by the biting of the little larva or worm from which he came.
 The first thing to do in laying clothes away is to see that they are perfectly clean Everything wooden, like bath robes, blankets and underwear, should be brushed with a whlsk broom, if 1t cannot be washed first, and exposed to the sun and air.
 If the garment cannot be washed in water and We do not care tO send it to the cleaner it should never be laid away dirty with spots of grease and food, because these are just the things that will attract the moth worm first,
 The little spot on the lapel of the oyercoat, the slight dirt on the shield of a chIld's flannel suit, these are the places that Mir Moth Worm goes for first. Materials which are not thor oughly washable in water should be given a bath in gasoline and thorough ly aired.
 Dresses trimmed with fur should never be laid away with the fur on them, but have the fur ripped of, clean ed in gasoline. brushed and placed in separate packages. In fact, all fur must be thoroughly cleaned, brushed and aired before being laid away.
 Moth balls and camphor paper have been used for long time and are still used, but We have notifications of these now in the tar paper bag and camphOr bag, which are more efficient In many ways.
 These bags come In various sizes, some very small for childrcus coats and sweaters, others half length and others even full length for evening dresses or for overcOats.
 Another cheap way of putting clothes away is to put them into the paper boxes, such as come with under wear and other articles and seal the covers firmly with strips of gum paper.
 There are many other articles which we perhaps cannot lay away, such as tufted furniture. cushions, etc. The best plan Is to spray them with gasO. line or benZine, using a small atomizer or hand spray, or they can be very carefully spOngcd with a diluted solu. ton of corrosive sublimate in alcohol made just strong enough to leave q white stain.
 Light, air. low temperature and ire quent inspection are the things neces- sary for perfect storage.

 Whilesville, Mo,-To c. R. Thompson, farmer living northeast of here, Is given the credit of originating the lat est method of having his mail brought directly to his door.
 Some time ago Thompson decided that 1t was a waste of time and shoe leather to make the daily trip to his mail box down by the road, and he set his mind and hand to work on a device which would make said trip unneces- sary.
 He succeeded, and now by means or a set of wires and pulley the trick ia accomplished.
 After the mall mans visit Thompson has only to step to his door and draw in his mail box and all.
 The box is sent back to its post by the roadside in the same manner.
 Others in the community are so pleas ed with Thompson's device that they are going to follow his example, and 1t will doubtless not be long until going after the mail" even so far as the gate, will besa thing of the past with the progressive farmers of northwest Missouri.
