WASHINGTON. April 24.-Redis-
tribution OF American forces in Mexico
as at present contemplated, consists
largely OF calling back scattered bod
les OF troops in arid, pastureless re-
gions OF In sections without good
roads. Involved in this movement may
be retirement to the northward a GER
tain distance, but this point is not en-
tirely determined. General Funston
is authorized to make the shift accord
ing to his own judgment
The plans as outlined are known
today TO be the general idea for the
new alignment II is assumed that
FunstOns plans contemplate moving
the troops at least a little northward
in order that he may establish his
lines Of communication without peril
or inconvenience at a point not too far
from the boundary.
The bulk of the United States forces
does not reach below Casas Grandes.
Authorities would not say today that
the retirement would be as far as
Casas Grandes. though It was ad-
mitted that IL was entirely reasonable
to believe that there might be such a
distribution as would provide for Car
rama troops going below Parral,
while the American troops gave more
attention to the district north Of that
city.
Reports that General Obregon and
General Funston or General Scott are
TO confer at Eagle Pass. Texas, we're
without confirmation from Secretary
Baker. though he apparently had
heard the suggestion from other than
press reports.
Border stories that the Carranzistas
are moving northward to Chihuahua
City, would indicate they are giving a
free rein TO the Americans around
Parral. II true. It means that instead
Of the United States forces moving
northward. they will be merely redis-
posed. so as TO meet the supply prob
lem advantageously. while retaining
their advance column somewhere near
Parral.

FUNERAL AT FELTON,
ON WEDNESDAY

Special to THE EVENING JOURNAL
DOVER. Del, April 24-Colonel
Alvin B. Conner. familiarly known as
"Ar' Conner. died suddenly at his
residence at FELTON, at 8 O'Clock last
evening OF apopleXy. Only a few
hours before his death Colonel Con-
ner was apparently in the best Of
health, having attended church SER
vices in the morning and in the af-
tornoOn, with Mrs. Conner. made
several social calls among Feltons
sick and aged residents to whom he
carried flowers as an Easter remem-
brance. His sudden death has shock
ed his many friends. He was. a for
mer State Senator and had been a
member Of Governor S. S. Pennewills
stan.
Shcrtly before o'clock last even
ing while at his home, Senator Con-
ner complained of being i'll. Mrs.
Conner sent for the family physician,
and in the meantime succeeded in
getting Mr.. Conner to bed, but be-
fore the physician arrived he had
died.
He is survived by his wife and one
son and two daughters.
Senator Conner retired last July
as station agent at FELTON,. after serv-
ing more than so years in that ca
pacity.
No man was better known in Della
ware and outside Of the State, than A.
B. Conner. His railroad connections,
his political affiliations, the latter hav-
ing kept him before the public for
many years, necessarily brought him
i'm close contact with all kinds and
classes of people. AT the time OF his
death he was a candidate for the Re
publican governorship of Delaware.
Senator Conner began his railroad
career in 1865 when he was employed
as an assistant TO William Walker

THE FARMERS SIDE
A Prominent Farmer Asks Some Questions Which
 Deserve an Answer.

EDITOR ARGUS:
 The question of patronizlng mail order houses has been under discussion, or rather under con- demnation for some time, and even the pulpit has entered the lists; so it would seem a fitting time to have look at the matter from another angle. With that end in view we shall take a peep from the farmers standpoint. The merchants contention IS, that as he is a citizen and tax payer, supporting churches. schools, roads, etc., that he should have the trade of hls home people in preference to the mail order merchant, who does none of these things. So far, so good. But, is not this same merchant under certain obligations to his prospective customers? If MT. Merchant is as disinterested as he claims, why is he not as anxions to see that the farmer gets the market value for his cotton, as he IS that this same farmer spends his money with him?
 That MT. Merchant is only anxiously looking one way, is proven by the difference paid for cotton in Holly Grove, Brink ley and Clarendon last fall. Holly Grove merchant paying from one to one and half cents more per pound for cotton than Brinkley or Clarendon mer- chants. Holly Grove merchants were not buying cotton for fun; and the difference in price being still greater if compared with the greater cotton markets. So the farmer thinks that he IS amply justified in his belief that said merchant is altogether sel- fish in the position he takes in this matter.
 Does anyone suppose that, foi instance the railroads were tc charge Brinkley merchants from one to one and a half cents 8 pound more on freight than they did the Holly Grove merchants, that there would be no loud, pro. longed and vigorous howl and g running to and fro until the same was adjusted? Then if nothing but the general welfare of the

Among the Farmers and

This is nearly the first of July and never in my life have I ever known of such a perfect crop prospect all over the county as now exists said machinery man who rode in from the south end of the county yesterday in a motor car.
 "The financial condition of the rice growers in the Brinkley- Hunter Wheatley district this season is shown ill the fact that our firm has done $50, GOO worth of business with them and fully 90 per cent has been paid for in cash" said the field man of the well known firm of Layne & Bowler Co.,, of Stutt- gart.

She far rowed in January and from the 2 pigs he has raised from her he has sold S155 worth of pigs and has one left which he refused $40 for or making him in excess of Sl95 from that one SOW which IS to have pigs again in September.
