LOOKING For PEACE.

I'm longing for the boon OF peace,

captains seek some milder trade. Who

greedy, reeking jaws? Methinks the
whole world and his wife would hail
said boon with glad hurrahs. The
world is dark without this boon, the
large smooth boon of which | write;

Villa Seeks His
FdUOrite HIDING
Place In Hills
(By Review Leased Mirel

JUAREZ, Mex, Nov. 29.-villa and a
column of approximately 500 men
crossed the Mexican Central near La
guna station, 40 miles south of here
yesterday and was heading toward the
Santa Clara canyon, west of Laguna
which is a favorite rendezvous of Villa
followers in the past. This news was
brought here tonight by a man who
came from Villa Ahumada by automo-
bile, all train service except for troop
trains having been suspended. He
said fighting had been generaI south
of Villa Ahumada but did not know the
number of dead and wounded. Santa
Clara canyon is seventy-five miles
northwest of Chihuahua City.
Juarez was practically deserted by
the military tonight and only the usual
guards were posted. The last troop
train to leave here with reinforce
ments reached Villa Ahumada safely
and will form a junction with other
troops which left yesterday under Gen
eral Pedro Favela. Fear of an attack
here has passed for the present as
Villas main band has been definitely
located.

COCH|SE COUNTY
TOOK s. PRIZES
AT STATE FAIR

Fair Commissioner B. o. Payne has
returned TO his home in Wilcox. after
attending the fair, says the Douglas In
ternational. He has just closed more
than a month of strenuous work col
lecting exhibits and attempting to place
Cochise county on the front ranks as
an agricultural county. He met with
considerable disappointment due to
the fact that he was there practically
alone, while other counties had several
helpers and assistants on the ground.
Furthermore number of exhibits ship
ped did not arrive on time to be enter
ed, and he therefore worked under
great disadvantage, says the Wilcox
News.
However, Cochise county took thirty
two ribbons, twenty-five blues and
ten reds. The judges of the state fair
declared that Cochise county had made
the greatest progress in their exhibits
this year over the past of any coun-
ty in the state. The prize winners
were as follows:
San Simon-Peter Jensen, sAconG
prize on potatoes. H. Deitchers, first
prize on feterita.
Cochise Stronghold-Neal Erickson,
second prize on apples. C. H. Wilson,
second prize on squashes, first prize
on kaffir corn seed, first prize on
broom corn seed, first prize on grass
and frst prize on piemelOns. d. A.
Pennich, first prize on kaffir corn
heads.
Paradise-George Walker, second
prize on apples, first prize on peaches.
Hereford-Robert Todd, first prize
on apples, second prize on apples, sec
on prize on apples.
McNeil-W. A. Pruitt, first prize on
cabbages.
Garces-John Fenley, first prize on
hubbard squashes, second prize on
summer squash.
o. K. Ranch, Douglas.-First prize
on apples.
Chiricahua-F. W. Heyne, first prize
on apples, second prize on apples.
Pomerene-Walter Scott, first prize
on Bliss Triumph potatoes, p. p. Sabin
first prize on stock beets.
St David-Rert Goodman, first prize
on apples.
Willcox-Lulu Rasmussen, second
prize on stock beets, G. A. Dove, sec
ond prize on potatoes.
McAlister-W. c. Gordon, first prize
on Yellow Dent corn.
Credit is due TO the excellent work
done by Mr. Payne and also to the 10y
al support which the board of supervi-
sors of Cochise county have given him
all throughout. The board of super
visOrs are fully awake to the pcssibili-
ties of the farming industries of this
county and are giving every encourage
ment to it possible.
The thirty-two ribbons will first be
displayed at the Office of the board of
supervisors at Tombstone and then
sent on to Douglas 10 be displayed at
the chamber of commerce at that
point
Mr.. Payne is enthusiastic over the
outlook OF this county and said that
by more careful selection of exhibits
and a greater variety and early ship
ments, so that everything would ar
rive on time to be properly entered,
Cochise county would have practically
doubled her prizes. 1t is to be hoped
that that can be done within another
year.

AMERICAN SOLDIERS WILL

AMERICAN TRAINING CAMP IN
FRANCE, Nov. 20 tBy the Associated
Press).-It is probable that every
American soldier in France soon will
have turned over to him a pamphlet
setting forth the atrocities, depreda
tons and crimes of various sorts com
mitted by the Germans in the present
and formerly occupied sections OF
France. Copies of pamphlet in French
have been forwarded through the prop
err channels by Frenchman who is on
the commission gathering information
and ii has been suggested by American
officers, that they be translated into
English and circulated among the

DUBLIN, Sept. 22.-tcorrespond
snce Of the Associated Press)-The
solace and comfort which the Irish
soldier gathers from his religion, is
one Of the phases of front.line life
frequently touched upon by the late
Major Redmond in his letters home
some Of which Mrs. Redmond has
collected into memorial volume. In
one Of these, given to The Associated
Press. the popular Irish leader wrote
shortly before his death:
1.-THE fortitude the men seem to
draw from their faith is great and
marked. The man who has been with
his chaplain and who has prepared
himself by the sacraments is ready
for any fate, and shows it in his very
demeanor. Often the writer has
heard officers declare their pleasure
at the devotion of the men to their
religion, and frequently those officers
have been of other religions them.

writes Of the work of the French
