generally make excellent trees,
only about enc out of thirty prov
es as valuable as budded varie-
ties. The latter can usually be
obtained from nurserymen.
Planting of Seed
The seed should be planted
soon after it is taken from the
fruit. One of the most Satisfac-
tory ways of propagating avoca-
does is to plant the seed in boxes
five inches square and fourteen
inches deep. Such a box can be
made from cypress shingles and
piece of pine board. The soil
used in these boxes should. be
rich loan. Place the seed in the
soil so that it will be covered a
bout an inch, and water daily.
When about ten inches tall the
plants can be placed in position
for budding. Those that are tar
dy in development can be given
further attention. In time near
ly 100 per cent, Of the seeds will
make plants suitable for budding
The plants may be set out at
season of the year when suitable
moisture conditions occur. Less
cost for watering will be neces-
sary if they are set during the
rainy season. Greater losses will
occur if they are set during cool
dry weather.
Sometimes it is desirable to
plant the seed directly in the
field where the tree is to stand. !
somewhat similar to
that given the seed in the box
should be accorded those in the
field. To protect the young seed
ling from sun scalding, it is adj
visable to place half rotted mulch
ing about them. With careful
attention they will grow nearly
as rapidly in the field as in seed
boxes.
Budding
Almost any of the several meth
DDS of budding may be employed.
Where both stock and scion are
N good condition, shield budding,
which is usually employed for
citrus, will be found satisfactory.
Before the bud is inserted, care
should be taken to examine the
stock to see that the bark sepa-
'ates smoothly from the wood. In
,ther words the stock must be

the Border South.
Columbus, N. M.-Activities
have been resumed by the Ameri-
can expeditionary command in
Mexico, according to reports
reaching here Tuesday. The
movements in the main, it was
stated, have been only those nee
essary to keep the line of commu-
nication intact. 1t was said also,
however, that while most of Gen
eral Pershing's advanced detach-
ments have been drawn back to
the main columns, some of them
are securing the mountains north
and west of Parral, particularly
in an attempt to run down a clue
that Villa is in hiding in the vi
entity OF Monoava. No Ameri-
cans, however, it was pointed out,
are operating in the territory be-
yond Parral.
A quantity of detachable rail
road wheels, which can be fitted
over the rubber tires of a motor
truck arrived here today. 1t is
planned to equip some of the
truck trains operating from here
with these wheels for experiment
tai purposes and if they are prov
ed practical to convert the vari-
GUS trucks into locomotives for
use on railroads where possible.
A belief is general here among
military men that the proposal to
withdraw the American forces to
the district north of Casas Grand
es, 100 miles south of the border;
which has been given more than
passing consideration recently
will not be carried out. 1t was
asserted that such action could
afford the American government |
no assurances that the troops of |
the dcfacto government are capa-
bic of protecting the border after
withdrawal from Next
co. 1t was learned upon reliable |
that unless new devel- |
opmcnts warrant change in |
plans. no more troops will be sent |
into Mexico.

BELGIAN VESSEL
IS HERE TO LOAD
OUT FULL CARGO
THE STEAMSHIP KELTIER AR
RIVED YESTERDAY BUT WILL
NOT BE ALLOWED TO WORK
UNTIL BEEN FUMIGATED.

Arriving three days ahead of sched-
ule time, or the date expected, the
Belgian steamship Keltier yesterday
reached port, coming into the bay late
in the afternoon. She has been or
dered to the quarantine station for
fumigation, and upon being released,
which will be either late this after
noon or at an early hour tomorrow,
the Keltier will steam over to the city
and be berthed at Perdido wharf, to
receive a start on cargo. Several
berths will be occupied before the
steamer leaves port.
This steamer was expected on We'd
nesday to work, and will be loaded
by the Pensacola Lumber Company,
it was stated last night. Cargo will
be ready on Wednesday morning and
it will be seen just how rapidly she
may be despatched.
Another cargo steamer, the name
of which was not learned last night,
is due about the latter part of the
week, and another Sierra liner should
be in port shortly, to clean up several
thousand bales of cotton which are
now piled up in the L. & N. ware
houses.

LARGE AMOUNT OF
LIQUOR IS HELD
POLICE DEPARTMENT HAS AN
ASSORTMENT OF ALL SORTS
OF DRINKABLEs WHICH WERE
CONFISCATED.

AS a result of the arrests of eight
alleged service club proprietors yes
terday morning at an early hour,
there are dozens of bottles of beer
and whiskey at the police station, and
the greater part of it has been taken
as evidence. Some was said to have
been p98ehased outright from the al
legged "club-rooms," by men who held
no memberships" in the so-called or
CARNATIONS.
The case of each of the eight de-
PENDANTS who were arrested early
Sunday morning will be called in the
recorders court this morning at 8
o'clock. Yesterday two of the de-
PENDANTS called up the chief and asked
that their individual cases be con-
tinued. Chief Sanders referred them
to the recorder, who may exercise his
discretion. The department will, how
ever, insist upon the taking of testi-
mony today.
It was figured yesterday that a
total of $1,000 was Invested" by the
police to get the evidence strong
enough to warrant the taking of ac-
ton against places concerned by the
raiders. This will all be produced in
court as evidence in the respective
cases today.
Two More Clubs Raided.
Two more service clubs were raided
late last night and the proprietSrs,
who were given as James Goldstucker
and Charlie Smith, are both colored.
Like those arrested early Sunday
morning, both of these men are
charged with violating section $40 of
the city code by selling liquor without
a license. Their cases will be called
in the recorders court this morning.
Smiths place is on West Zarragos-
sa street, and Goldstucker's was on
North Tarragona street.
Luke Burnett was arrested yester-
day afternoon and charged with sell
ing liquor without a license.

RUSSIANS ARE
GAINING OVER
WHOLE FRONT
Offensive Been Successful,
and Telling Advances
Have Been Made
BIZ ASSOCIATED PRESS.

Petrograd, Feb. 13.-(Via London).
The Russian offensive which has
been indicated in the reports of the
last few days is rapidly maturing
over the whole Galician front.
The Germans, according to advices
from the scene of hostilities are on
the defensive on three important ri
vers-the Sereth, the Pruth and the
Dniester. Czernowitz, capital of
Bukowina, is again seriously threat
ened by the Russian advance east of
Raranche, as well as by the Russian
crossing of the Dniester at Uscieczko,
where their troops are firmly en-
trenched. This move also has had the
effect of interrupting one of the
most important lines of communica-
ton between the armies of Generals
Pflanzer and Won Bothmer.
A third important Russian advance
has been recorded near Yale Szczsyly,
where a fierce counter attack is de-
clared to have been successful in rout-
ing the opposing forces and demora-
lizing the Hungarian troops to such
an extent that they retired to new
line four miles to the rear. In adj
dition to these breaches announced
to have been made in the opposing
lines the Russians have been active
Immediately to the northward of
Tarnopol, where they have moved
slightly forward. While it is admit
ted that these operations have no
strategical value, it is believed in mill
itary circles that the new Russian of
fensive has prevented the Germans
from withdrawing troops from this
front, thereby lessening the chances
of successful attacks on all lines
elsewhere.
The initiative on the Dvinsk front
remains in German hands, but the
mild weather of last month, threat
ening with inundating the trenches
built by the Germans on marshy
grounds, is seriously handicapping
their effort to move forward. Pris-
oners report that great number of
French prisoners are employed in the
construction of drainage works.

LITTLE GIRL Of 8
YEARS PASSES AWAY
BRIGHT LITTLE DAUGHTER MR..
AND MRS. WILLIAM MERRITT
EXPIRES AFTER A VERY
SHORT ILLNESS.

Death in any form Is sad, but when
the Grim Reaper comes into the house
hold and takes therefrom the flower
and pride of the parents, and the pet
of all who know her, then grief is
that much more poignant. Such was
the case early yesterday morning in
the death of RosaIie Merritt, the
beautiful little daughter of Mr.. and
Mrs. William Merritt, of COS North
Reus street. The little one, after q
comparatively short illness, passed
away in the early morning hours,
and the funeral was held at 4:30
o'clock in the afternoon, the interment
being in st. Johns cemetery. Rev.
Father Fullerton of st. Michael's
church, was in charge of the obse-
Quies.
This little girl, the oldest daughter
of Mr.. and Mrs. Merritt, would have
celebrated her eighth birthday next
Thursday. The pallbearers were
Messrs. John A. and Jack Merritt and
William and Ralph Scholls.

HOURS SERVICE, ATTENDED
BY SIS MEN AND BOYS.

The fourth of the series of mems
meetings at the y. NJ. C. A. for the
season was held yesterday afternoon.
There were eighty-five men in at
tendance and from the first song led
by Mr.. Jelks to the invocation there
was perfect attention.
DIR. Thacker handled his subject,
what Constitutes a Fool" in so clear
and logical fashion as to leave no
doubt in the minds of the hearers that
there was something truer and better
to live for than ones own pleasure
or the mere accumulation of wealth.
Over one-third of the audience sig
nified their desire to live more truly
the ideals of the Christian life.

THREE HOUSES ARE
DESTROYED BY AN
EARLY MORNING IRE
ONE OCCUPIED AND TWO EMPTY
COTTAGES WERE TOTAL
LOSSES FROM FLAMES WHICH
ORIGINATED IN EMPTY ONE.

Three cottages, Nos. 1915, 101s
and 1920 North B street, were totally
destroyed by fire which was discov-
cred at 3:47 o'clock yesterday morn
ing. The fire had its origin, it was
reported, in an unoccupied house, and
has the appearance of being started
by a firebug. The places were owned
by L. NJ. Davis. No. 1920 was occu-
pied by Francis Cook, while the 9TH
ers were unoccupied at the time.
The fire department responded with
the usual alacrity as soon as the
alarm came in, but the flames had
gained such Roadway and it was SO
difficult to get to the scene of the
trouble, that the three places were
doomed, long before the department
could get water on the flames.
A SMALL BLAZE.
At 500 o'clock yesterday afternoon
call for the department came from
608 North Eighth avenue, where A.
v. Hood resides, but the fire did not
amount to much. At the time the
alarm was telephoned in, however,
there was a high wind blowing, and
it would not have been long for the
flames to have spread, consequently
there was considerable excitement fol-
lowing the dash of the trucks to the
scene.

CONCLUDED VERY
EARNEST SERIES
OF MEETING HERE
DIR. ERNEST THACKER, SPEAK
ING TO GOOD CONGREGATIONS
AT KNOX CHURCH YEsTER-
DAY, FINISHED HIS WORK.

With the delivery of two very logi-
cal and helpful sermons at Knox
Presbyterian church yesterday, and
an earnest talk at the mems and
boys gathering at the Y. NJ. c. A.,
DR.. Thacker, who has been laboring
very successfully in the local field.
last night concluded HIS work in Pen
sacola. He preached a couple of
weeks at the First Presbyterian and
one week at the Knox Presbyterian
church, and results have been good
from both places. AS direct result
of his instructive sermons, and his
strong pleading at each service to the
people to endeayor and live better,
more consecrated lives, many a per-
SON has been induced to unite with the
church of their respective choice, and
dozens have Joined within the past
two weeks.
The cold weather of last night did
not seem to affect the attendance, nor
lessen the interest in the evangelist's
work. Being the concluding service
in Pensacola, the little church where
he has been working for the past
week was quite filled up last night,
and helpful sermon on the "Philoso-
phy of Living" was heard.
From this place, DIR. Thacker and
his soloist, Mr.. Jelks, win return to
Virginia, carrying with them many
warm friendships made in the city OF
Pensacola with people of all churches.
