MINNESOTA NATIONAL
GUARD MAY BECAMPED
AT FORT SMELLING
Indications are That All Companies
Will Be Mobilized at St. Paul
Station Monday.
FULL PEACE STRENGTH TO
BE REACHED TOMORROW
Governor Burnquist to Review Troops
at State Capitol Tomorrow
Afternoon.
FULL PEACE STRENGTH TO
BE REACHED TOMORROW

St. Paul, Mimi, June 24.--"Mobili-
zation of the Saltwater and Winona
companies does not necessarily mean
the general state mobilization Of the
Minnesota National Guard" Adj.
Gen. F. B. Wood told the United Press
today "These companies were call
ed to Fort Smelling merely to do camp
work. We have absolutely no idea
as to when the remainder of the
state guard will be ordered to mobi-
lize.
''It is probable, however, that all
the infantry may be camped at Fort
Smelling Monday. Present indica-
tions are that a full peace strength
will be reached Sunday.
A Gala Day.
It's to be gala day at Fort Shell
ing, for tomorrow, according to plans
today. Hundreds of visitors are ex-
pected to throng the forts grounds
during the day. At 5 o'clock to-
morrow afternoon the governor and
his party on the steps of the state
capitol will review the regiments
while the First Battalion band plays
martial strains.
When Brig. Gen. A. w. Wright,
Austin, arrived at Fort Smelling today
to take charge of the Minnesota Ma
tional Guard, he found little but
work mobilized. OF this he found
plenty. He will help Adj. Gen. Wood
make preliminary arrangements for
getting the guard in shape, anticipa-
ting, as they do, an early call to the
border. .s-.- ..-
Trouble With Horses.
Those horses, more accustomed,
perhaps, to dragging a plow than
dragging a machine gun, simply can't
be broke into martial tricks. The
bows are having lot of trouble with
them. Battery B especially cursed,
it seems, with balky horses, have been
holding three-hour conferences on
how to make a horse quit kicking.
Some law abiding soldier produced a
manual of arms to guide the horse.
Another substituted the suggestion
that a manual of legs would be bet
ter. When one Of these nags starts
a bombardment with his rear legs
the soldiers always retreat in some
disorder.
No Naval Orders.
"Please tell the people of Mime
sofa that member Of the national
guard is a soldier, is subject to duty
in time of war, and have no auth
ority to let them off. Neither mas
Governor Burnquist. If they know
this. maybe we'll have more time tor

said today. 9.-
Orders affecting the Minnesota ma
val militia had not been received up
to early today, officials insisted.

Troops Wiped Out.
San Antonio, June 24.-The two
troops of the Tenth cavalry, under
Captain Charles T. Boyd, practically
were wiped out by the attack of Mex
lean forces under General Gomez at
Carrizal, June 81, according to indi-
cations given in a fragmentary re-
port erceived by General Funston
from General Pershing last night.
General Pershing's message stated
that seven survivors, including those
who arrived last night, have reached
the main column. All were enlisted
men, but the report did not say
whether there were non-commissioned
officers among them.
Caught in Flank.
According to the stories of the
survivors, as outlined in General Per-
shing's report, a mounted force of
Mexicans made a charge from the
flank at the conclusion of parley
between Captain Boyd and General
Gomez, at the same time that a ma
chine gun opened fire from the front
as General Gomez reached his line.
Captain Boyd had ordered his men
to dismount as the machine gun op-
ened fire, and a combined effect Of
the Mexican charge, the machine gun
fire and the rifle fire from the Mexi-
can garrison of Carrizal, which had
almost surrounded the little Amer
ican force, under cover of the parley
sought by General Gomez to discuss
whether Captain Boyd should be al
lowed to pass through the town,
the horses. No details were
made known to General Pershing as
to whether the Mexican charge was
checked.
hinged by Fire.
With their mounts gone, caught
without means Of escape, ringed about
on three sides with the fire of an over
whelming force, the fate of the little
detachment is believed by officers
here to have been sealed. It is fear
ed that only the most stupendous
luck, and that by desperate valor,
could have extricated Captain Boyd's
men from the trap.
The reports from Mexican forces
place the number killed, including
two officers, at from IL to 40. 1t
is reported II were taken captive in
to chihuahua City.
Officers Active.
Mexico City, June 24.-Military
officers are very active here.

Rotterdam, May 29.-(By mail)-
Nobody ever has anything fried these
days in German cities and towns un-
less a special feast is on and the
householder or host has had re-
markable piece of luck in securing
fat of some kind. Fats of every kind
are lacking.
Travellers from Germany to Rotter-
dam say butter is practically un-
known. Now and then household
er may secure half a pound of mar
garine at dollar pound.
Lard is as scarce as butter.
Use Olive Oil.
Some months ago, when the short,
age in fats became definite, few
good cooks discovered that olive oil
might be used in frying meats and
within short time many foresighted
civilians had laid in supplies of olive
oil. At present the olive oil supply
is exhausted.
The government experts in their
efforts to obtain fats, commandeered
all the peanuts in Germany.
"I'm very fond of peanut candy"
said a German from Munich who had
come to Rotterdam to feed up, as he
explained, land every afternoon I
used to drop a few pennies in a
penny-in-the-slot candy machine near
my office.
Zone afternoon I ran out to the
machine and found that the peanut
candy slot had been sealed up with
a government seal.
II couldn't break it, of course
Later on a policeman came and col
lected all the peanut candy in the
machine. He said the government
was going to take the peanuts out of
it and extract the oil from them"
Get French Sardine.
The one greasy food that can be
obtained in limited quantities in GER
tain districts of Germany is the little
French canned sardine. How it gets
into Germany no one seems to know.
my grocer always had some sar-
dines," explained a neutral lady, who
was going back to the United States,
"where can eat all want to-" He
doled them out sparingly without any
government regulation, she said, but
a beefsteak fried in the fish oil was
very unlike a beefsteak.
There has never been shortage
of lemons and oranges, according to
various persons from various parts
of Germany. The ally blockade, 1t
appears, has not as yet shut off the
supply of citrus fruits, which reach
Germany by devious routes from
various warm climes.
Of sugar the Germans, OF course
have an immense supply, owing to
their best root industry. Salt
abounds but pepper is scarce. Ham
bacon or pork in farm is unknown

FAIR
PROMISES To
Be SUCCESS
SECRETARY WEST HAS LEFT NO
THING UNDoNE FOR THE BEST
INTERESTS OF THE ASSoCiA-
TON.

The first annual Carter county free
fair gives promise of being I big sue
cess, and will surpass anything Of the
kind in the southern or eastern por-
ton of the state. The success Of the
Carter County Fair association Is due
in no small measure to the untiring
efforts of Felix X. West, secretary of
the fair association. and likewise sec
retary of the Chamber of Commerce.
Mr.. West was one of the pioneers in
the movement to get the fair esta6-
lished in this county, and from the
very inception Of the idea has been
working increasingly to this end.
Mr.. West has had experience in This
work. He has made the collecting Of
state and county exhibits Tor fairs a
study and has reduced it to fine art.
He had charge OF the Oklahoma OK
hibit at the last international dry
farming congress at Denver last year.
Mr.. West states that he is receiving
inquiries every day from people who
will have exhibits at the tair. Also
the merchants of the city are asking
for reservations in the pavilion, and
unless something unforeseen prevents,
the first annual fair wil 0e record
breaker for this section. Ample amuse-
ments have been provided Cor the vis-
itors, and there will he attractions
enough to suit the most fastidious.
The races will be a feature that will
attract many people to Ardmcro on
these dates. The track IL considered
to be one of the best in the state, and
Ardmore has a few horse fanciers of
her own who will show some speed
during the three day. hundreds OF
requests have come to the secretary
for premium lists, and these are being
mailed out as fast as called for.
The buildings at The fair grounds
are all well under way and everything
will be in shape for the opening. The
directors of the association are well
pleased with the pccgress made, AMI
are confident of success.
Mr. West will be glad 10 have the
citizens of Ardmore visit the fair
grounds, and see the progress that Is
being made.

TTON IS
NOW BRINGING
GOOD PRICES
PROSPECTS GOOD FOR A
CH LARGER CROP THAN WAS
MARKETED HERE LAST YEAR -
SOME COMING IN.

Notwithstanding the dry weather,
the prospects for cotton in this vicin-
ity seems to be looking up, according
to a statement of one prominent buyer
this morning.
Last season the wagon receipts here
were the lowest in the history of the
city, which at one time was the lar
gest inland cotton market in the
world, the receipts at that time to-
falling $4,000 bales. But last season
wagon sales were less than 10000
bales. This season, however, conser-
vative buyers are estimating the re-
ceipts around the 15,OO0-bale mark
with good prospects at present that
it will reach, if not exceed, these fig
ures.
A large crop of cotton in this yicin-
ity with prevailing prices would mean
great deal to this city, and cotton
buyers are confidently predicting this
very thing.
