MEXICANS STRIP HUN
ViIIista Bandits Then Turn Him
Loose on Range.
Gang Winds Up FroIic by Making
Things Lively for German
Ranchman.

Chihuahua City, Mex.-Sauz, a town
on the Mexico Central railroad not fat
from this city, has been the scene of
man subject, if Germans are still sub
'ects. Sauz already is notorious enough
because in Spanish it is pronounced
exactly like "souse."
The Villista bandits, Martin Lopez.
Ramon Vega and Epifanio Holguin.
were having frolic in Sauz one day
this week. Their trip primarily was to
call on a German ranchman by the
name of Neiman, who formerly was
with the large German wholesale
house of northern Mexico, Ketelsen
& Degatau.
When the Messrs, Lopez, Vega and
Holguin called at Neiman's home the
German apparently was not at home.
Lopez was chief of the band, a group
of 20 horsemen with sugarloaf hats on
their heads and glistening bands of
cartridges over their shoulders and
around their waists. 1t was the siesta
hour. So he stationed his men to
watch for the return of the German
and lay down on the bed to sleep.
Before dreaming of whatever q BAN
dit dreams, Don Martin gave these or
ders:
"My boys, find those two Mexicans
who work on this ranch and Shoot
them at once. Only take them far
enough away so that the shots will not
wake me up. If you catch the German
patron do not shoot him. Merely takF
everything he has; / mean everything
including his socks, and then let hin
go. Bring me his clothes. He dresses
well and we are about of size. / d,
not want to kill the German. His race
is very valiant. If you see any Chinese
shoot them, though. The Chinese are
cowardly, peaceful people"
But before the generalissimo dropped
off to sleep he felt the bed move under
him. Neiman, covered with dust, ap
peared on his hands and knees.
mi general" he said, bowling. "Cor
su permiso."
Lopez called back his men and tolt
them to carry out his orders. Neimal
was stripped to the skin and "turne,
loose on the range" 1t was warn
day.

tion for the 1000 inhabitants OF
the occupied s of Germany will
be $50 grams day for each person,
according to the decision of the inter-
allied military comg9lssion for food
supply for the civilian population on
the left bank of the Rhine.
In weight this is an increase of so
grams day over that provided by the
German war regulations, but esti-
mated in calories it means an increase
of 2,400 caIories day from the 1,4O0
allowed by the Germans. The in
crease in calories was based on re-
ports made by food experts that the
Germans needed more fats.
The decision to allot each inhab-
liant $50 grams daily means that the
commission agrees to supply the food
not supplied by the Germans. The
food will be paid for by the German
government. 1t win be distributed
through cards issued by the Germans
at prices sanctioned by the commits
sion.
The food is to come from the sup
plies accumulated by the interallied
relief organization apd the army sup
ply depots in the occupied zones will
get 10 per cent of she total allotted
by the interallied organization fol
Germany.
The population Of the American
area of occupation is $4,000 and f
13 per cent of the occupied zones. The
distribution of food will begin as soon
as it can be brought from Rotterdam

In the harvest year from August,
1915, to August, 1919, Europe must inn
port 29,0O0,000 tons of foodstuffs from
overseas, and to meet this there is
available total of about 35,000,0O0
tons, Herbert c. Hoover, chairman of
the food section of the supreme eco
nomic council said in Paris.
Shipping conditions are not satisfac-
tory on account of strikes in many
countries and, as a result, there is no
question that the entire American sur
plus will be absorbed.
"We are at the worst phase of the
European famine that was inevitable
after this world war;" Mr.. Hoover said.
| The economic food council Is on top
| in the fight against famine and food
| distribution is organized to supply the
| affected areas in Europe outside of
| Russia, Mr.. Hoover said. The Ameri-
| can relief administration has organ
lied the systematic feeding of the un-
! deInourished children, numbering be-
tween 100000 and 100000.
The United States will supply to Eu-
rope foodstuffs valued roughly at
| $2,500,000,000. Enemy countries and
neutrals will pay cash for what they
| receive.
Will Not Raise Wheat Price.
The relief authorities are doing their
best to control the effect of the large
demands on the American market. Mr..
Hoover said that a statement by him
on the possible price of wheat had
been misinterpreted. He had said that
| in view of the demands of the
world for food, the removal of price
/ control with regard to wheat, sugar,
| pork products and cotton seed prod
ucts would be dangerous to the Ameri-
can consumer. The control of the pork
was removed, and, Mr.. Hoover said,
had proved to be disadvantage to the
consumer.
Mr.. Hoover said he wished to empha-
size that the control of the price of
wheat would be maintained TO the full
extent of existing authority and tnat
the American consumer need not be
alarmed that there will be a material
rise in the price of that food essential.
America will sell more wheat than
she has, but the exports are being reg
ulated to reserve sufficiency for do
nestle needs.
Purchases Army Supplies.
The American army stocks Of pork
products In France, more than 60.000,-
O0O pounds, had been purchased by the
relief council and should furnish suf-
ficient supply of fats until harvest for
liberated countries.
Germany is being supplied with fats
without competing In the American
market for pork, and the European
draft on the American pork is limited
to the neutral and allied countries
The administration is purchasing ii
the United States only wheat. rye, flour
beans, some rice, and vegetable oil
products, and in addition, condensed
milk and some other special foods fol

state Sanitary Inspector, DR.. C.

tary operation of hotels, restaurants,
barber shops and drinking fountains
of Aberdeen this week. None of
tlcs places were awarded certifi
cal0s uxcept the soda fountains at
the J l.. Shell and Phoenix drug
stores. The grocery stores were not
inspected on this trip, but will be
later and made to conform to the
state sanitary laws of health. 1t is
regrettable and embarrassing to the
city that none of the hotels, restau
rants nor barber shops of the town
measured up to state sanitary re-
quirements. There are a few of
these places in the state that have
as yet attained that high standard
of sanitation that has been set by
the state board of healthy.

To Make Thrift a Happy Habit.

To make war taught thrift and
the practice of saving through lend
ing to the government a permanent
and happy habit of the American
people the United States Treasury
will conduct during 1919 an inten-
sive movement to promote wise
spending. intelligent saving and
safe investment. with the aim of
meeting war obligations and pro-
noting individual, community and
national prosperity.
Thrift will be taught in the
schools. War Savings Societies will
be organized in all industries and in
different communities, and through
the cooperation of the banks and
postotfices the advantages of thrift
and systematic saying will be
brought before the people in many
different ways.
The immediate and sconcrete OBJ
iective of the campaign is to en-
courage the public to continue buy
ing war savings stamps and Liberty
bonds and thus supply funds for
meeting Government obligations
arising from the war. The ultimate
objective is so to popularize thrift
that one of the most valuable les
sons taught by the war will become
happy every day national habit.
To accomplish these several objects,
there will be ad led to the war ap-
peals, motives OF post-armistice and
everyday peaceful patriotism, and
practical motives of self
interest in saving.
