FULTON, Mo-, Sept, 9.-The Kan

to their meals when the stockyards
whistle blew, hasn't a thing on j.
Frank Buckner, a big mule and hog
feeder, in the north part of Galloway
County, who brings his hogs to the
feeding trough with the aid Of the
horn on his automobile. Buckner says
it is more effective than any human
hog-holler he has ever heard or seen
in action. At first it proved little
hard to train the hogs to answer the
horns call, but Bucl1ner solved the
problem by driving a number of hogs
to point where they could see the
corn falling into the trough as he
footed the horn. Then they came pell-
. nell, and porkers further down the
lane noticing the rush for the meal
ticket, came running also. Since
' that they have connected meal Of
corn with the toot of the automobile
horn and it proves an easy task to
bring them from the extreme end OF

ANGELES TELLS GENERAL ER- WIN VILLISTAS ENDEAVORED KEEP FIGHTING AWAY FROM
 BORDER; TRIED TO KEEP FROM SHOOTING ACROSS RIVER

FL PASO, June 2O.-R)-General Felipe Angeles, head of the new revo- lutionary movement in Mexico, is now wanting to know why the Amer ican soldiers crossed the border and pursued his forces. A courier arriv- ed here today from the camp of Pan cho Villa near Samalayuca bearing note to General James Erwin from Angeles.
 The Mexican leader declares the Villistas have no intention of con- ducting an anti-American campaign, stating the Yankees are perfectly safe in Mexico as far as his forces are concerned. He is very much hurt over the fact the Americans entered Mexico and killed several of his fol- lowers. General Angeles stated in his note that the Villistas did every thing in their power to keep the fighting away from the border, fear ing trouble might ensue with the Americans. He declares that the rebels tried to keep from shooting across the Rio Grande and any shots that did find their mark on Ameri- can soil were the merest accidents.
 Angeles tells General Erwin that Villa entertains the greatest friend ship for the Americans and they have nothing whatever to fear from him. He asks that an explanation of the Americans action be forwarded him at the earliest opportunity as he is very desirous of getting the matter satisfactorily settled.
