BY SHARP NOTE FROM WASHINGTON.
(By international News Service,


Ell PASO March 3O.-Supp1ies for the Amer
can forces in Mexico will go forward by rail before
night.
Every available man has been pressed into SER
vice to speed the shipments. 1t is feared, however,
that the heavily ladened trains will be delayed af-
ter crossing the border.
Notwithstanding heavy guards, the trains be-
tween Juarez and Casas Grandes are frequently
held up or wrecked.
The supplies ready to ship include oats, hay,
gasoline, flour, corn and canned goods.
Carranza will realize more than IS 900 per day
from the importation of American supplies.
1t is believed that Carranza's decision to allow
the United States government to use the Mexican
railroads was inspired by a sharp note from Wash
ngtOn.
Villa is believed to be headed for Santa Catalina
ranch in the Santa Maria valley. Other reports
state that he is now headed for Chihuahua City and
Torreon where he has many friends.

Here is Sensible One, Bur-
fington Post Thinks.

That there is wisdom in the i'm
provement of the river front at Keo-
kuk and at other points along the
Mississippi river through the fact that
the river is yearly growing in i'm
portancs both from the business and
pleasure standpoint is stated in an
article appearing in the Burlington
Post The article is as follows:
Towns and cities all along the up
per Mississippi river are giving intel
ligent attention to their water fronts.
Fort Madison, Keokuk. Warsaw. Can
ton. Quincy, Hannibal. Louisiana and
Alton are all moving IN the direction
Of permanently improving their river
fronts. There is wisdom in this
movement, because the river is year
ly growing into greater importance.
Both for pleasure and for profit the
use Of the river grows each year.
At Minneapolis and at Davenport
large dock systems are being created.
Fort Madison is getting long

KENYON FIGHTS
THE FREE SEEDS
Junior Iowa Senator Declares Il a
Graft-MiIIion Dollars Expend-
ed Past Four Years.

Senator. Kenyon of Iowa, was sue
cessful tn his efforts to have the SEN
ate strike from the agricultural ap-
preparation bill the item providing for
the free distribution by members Of
congress of garden seeds. By a vote
of 33 to 81 the senate agreed to the
senate committee amendment, father
ed by Senator Kenyon, striking out
this provision. This distribution Of
seeds free to their constituents is a
custom OF many years standing. and
members of the house have always
ltenaciously fought to retain it in the
past and 1t is expected they will do
| SO now.
| In a speech in the senate, Mr.. Ken
yon characterized this free dfstrfbu-
ton Of seeds as Congressional
graft" and pointed out that it had
cost the government, for the seeds
alone, during the last four years,
S1.110,933. Add the cost of carrying
these seeds through the mails, for
they are sent under the frank of the
1 congressman, and the time of the en-
ployes of the government, and the
sum would be greatly increased, said
Senator Kenyon. He told the senate
that the department Of agriculture

be ended.
"One member of the house received
a letter from constituent in regard
to free seeds which is rather typical
of the way in which these free seeds
are received by the people and how
the governments money is being
wasted said Senator Kenyon. This
man wrote for more beans, saying
that his wife had made soup of the
last lot of seeds and that st was
itne.'''
Senator Kenyon said that durins
four years. no less than 4e,5ss sol
packages of seeds had been sent out
by congress. He said that members
Of congress seemed to think that II
!. made hit with the farmers wives
making them believe that their rep

lying awake nights thinking how
they could aid their constituents.
AS a matter of fact, he said, many
Of the farmers throughout the coun
try were disguised with this petty
graft and believed that no further
, money should be wasted by the gov
eminent in this way.
, There is no more reason today
said Senator Kenyon, for members
Of congress distributing free garden

A group Of men hurried to Second

from the track, then the hauling Of
the rails over half block of pave

In the meantime Mr.. Schultz being
informed OF the activities OF the street

the mixer across the right Of way
Undated, however, the street rail
