VILLA PREPARED

It is known that the bandit
chieftain for weeks has been max
ing arrangements for taking up
this ground as soon as Pershing
moves out, and military and civil
officials are confident that he will
make desperate attempts to win
his point. He is known to be ex-
ceptionally well armed, both with
small arms and with artillery,
much of which he has taken from
the de facto troops at the City
of Chihuahua and Torreon. H.. . .,
This and other factors in the Mexi-
can problem is giving the administra-
ton pause in its plans for sending Mr..
Fletcher as representative of the Wash

say that the attitude of the First Chief
has not been so friendly of late as to
warrant such a step on the part Of
the American administration, and admit
that there is feeling in high quarters
that to send Fletcher would be accord

TO PLACARD DIRTY PREMISES
California City Adopts Unique Plan to
Raise Standard Of Cleanliness In
Residences and Business Houses.

The city of Alameda, CAL, has adopt
ed unique plan to raise the standard
Of cleanliness in residences and busl-
ness houses. In future the sanitary
condition Of the various premises is to
be shown by placards bearing the in
scriptions "Clean," "Dirty" or "Filthy."
Those places which do not satisfy the
board Of health will be placarded as
dirty or filthy until they comply with
the demands Of the authorities.
This action was decided upon by the
board Of health, which appointed a
committee to post the placards and to
care for the general health Of the city.
The board Of health intends to inspect
not only the business houses but also
the private residences Of the city and
to affix the placards to every house In
the city,. Those residences which can
be designated as "clean" will not be
placarded, but those in which sanitary
conditions are disregarded will be des-
ignateS as dirty" or "filthy" until the
house owners remedy the conditions,
upon which the placards will be re-
moved.
AS the board of health has arbitrary
powers under the city charter, the pla-
cards must remain on the houses or
places Of buS lhess until the board is
satisfied that the conditions therein
are sanitary. If any householder tears
down the placards, the extreme PEN
atty Of the law can be enforced.

BIG. gain IN POTASH OUTPUT
Production During the Calendar Year
1916 Reached Value Ten Times
as Great as In 1915.

A remarkable expansion in the Amer.
lean potash industry has resulted from
efforts to make the United States indie
pendent of foreign sources for the pot
ash used in munitions and for other
purposes, and although the boom did
not get under way until late in 1915,
production during the calendar year
reached value ten times as great as
that of 1915.
The 1916 production is estimated, in
a preliminary report published by
Uncle Som at 10000 tons, worth $780,
600. In 1917, thereport says, with the
boom in full swing, a much greater
total will be shown.
'The largest output" the report says,
"has come from the Nebraska alkali
lakes, but the natural saline deposits
elsewhere are now just beginning to
make important contributions. A great
deal of publicity has attended the ef-
forts to obtain potash from kelp, but q
similar organic source Of high-grade
potash has been quietly developed,
which has proved more productive"
