EARLY DAYS IN WEST TEXAS.

lie takes much interest In the
writings Of Capt Mcconnell which
appear In the Signal every month
Tho descriptions Of the Indian raids
and soldier activities at old Fort
Graham are Of special interest to
him because Of his early knowledge
Of that locality.
Uncle Jep says the country about
Graham was the home Of Thousands
Of Indians. He reckons that thou
sand Of them were born In that ro-
gion. The soldiers were stationed
there to drive them out and when
Fort sill was established 1t put Fort
Graham cat OF bus ness.
Uncle Jcp remembers how the To-
dlans used to come from the Terri
tory and steal sock and commit
other doprcdations. They seemed TO
prefer that part Of the west for their
activities. They were young braves
and some cf them had been raised
there and knew the country thorough

Indians made raid and two were
captured and one killed. The two
prisoners we're prosecuted by sam
I.anham, who was then a district
attorney. rhey were sent to the pen
ltenuary. After = few years the IN
dians were pardoned and went back
Ito stealing stock. The soldiers got
latter them again and killed one and
captured the other, who soon after

BORDER TROUBLE
BECOMES CRITICAL

Washington. June IA. - With a re-
port in the hands of officials here that
$4,000 fully armed Mexican soldiers
are at Chihuahua, ready for instant
service, the view of the Mexican sit
uation became admittedly graver.
Fifteen hundred additional United
States troops were ordered TO the bor-
der by Secretary of War Baker on the
heels of information that a serious
purpose was behind the raid on the
Coleman ranch Sunday
The reinforeements consist of ten
companies OF coast artillery and a
battalion of engineers.
The possibility of an attack by Car
rama soldiers on General Pershing's
army is causing alarm, officials admit
ted freely.
Officials have been unable to deter
mine the inspiration behind the sud
den outbreak of anti-American feeling
or to estimate the ability of General
Carranza to protect American lives
and property.

A night ride brought the Americans
into the canyon at daybreak. where
they followed fresh horse tracks.
Riding at a gall0p they rounded a
canyon turn within 200 yards of the
bandits encamped in IA grove of pines.
Ii was a complete surprise There
was a headlong rush among the villa
followers. who, half clad, seized rifles
and fought from behind trees.

Democratic Leaders in Doubt Regard
ing Adoption of UnequivocaI DecIa-
ration in Platform in Favor of Equal
Rights for Women.
ST. Louis. June l4.-Delegates to
the Democratic national convention,
which opened here at noon today, APP
peared to be interested in two ques-
tions.
One was whether Vice President
Marshall would be nominated by ac-
clamation or whether the favorite
sons would insist upon their names
going before the convention for a bal
lot.
The other was the probable action
of the delegates with regard to the de-
mand of the suffragists for an une-
quivocal declaration in the platform in
favor of equal rights
Sentiment for the denomination of
Vice President Marshall appeared so
strong, leaders said, that there was
talk among them of starting a move
ment TO have him named without go
ing through the formality of taking a
ballot
The talk of naming Secretary OF
War Baker for the second place on
the ticket ended almost as suddenly
as il started.
The war secretary had much to do
with putting the quietus to his boom
when he declared before he left Wash
ington for the convention that he was
for Marshall and that the mention of
his name was merely friendly en-
terprise."
The fact that Mr.. Baker had just
left President Wilson when he an
nounced that he favored Mr.. Marshall
for denomination also gave support 70
the idea of having Mr.. Marshall ac-
claimed the candidate without calling
the roll.
Ii was reported that President vii
son had sent word to the convention
that he regards Indiana as one Of the
most important battle grounds in the
coming campaign and that he would
like to see the delegates act as a unit
in nominating the vice president.

Platform.

St Louis, June 14-William j..
Bryan, newspaper reporter from Ne
braska, arrived here to cover" the
Democratic national convention. He
asserted most emphatically that his
reportorial role would be his first in
terest.
Now is the opportune time for the
Democratic party to get most of the
Progressives. said Mr.. Bryan in a
hasty cross-the-corridor interview at
his hotel.
"They are closest to us in sympathy
anyway. you know" Mr. Bryan added.
He indicated that this might be
largely accomplished by the writing
of the Democratic platform with Pro.
gressive planks that would appeal TO
the Bull Moose.

A GOOD TIME TO ADVERTISE

The hackneyed old phrase, .'now is the time to advertise" has special pertinence just now. It is in times oIs prosperity that money is mad.-. As the result of big crops, demand f.,r War munitions, etc, the country has reached a high stage of prosperity There is plenty Of money in circula- ton, and people are in a mood to buy 1iberally.
 Ir such times as these advertisirg g pays more generously than ever The people are hopeful and confident, dis pesed to anticipate their wants, to buy the best qualities, and to rnrchase things they would not have felt they could afford a year ago.
 Merchants ought to be able ito ydou- ble their trade under these conditions. But they can't get it by waiting fol. it. They must attract more attention, take a little more newspaper space, de- scribe their goods a little more fully great deal of money will be spent in the next six months, the bulk of it with those dealers who court the most publicity.
