eIlcan Mfplane returned tonight
from scouting trip into Mexico
with two bullet holes through wing
of the machine. The aviator observer
said he was fired on by three Mexi-
cans. He returned the fire with a
machine gun and believed he killed
one. The cavalry is pursuing the
bandits, he said.
Maria, Texas, Aug. 19.-Spread
out fan-shaped, over a wide stretch
of Mexican country south of the Rio
Grande, United States troops of the
Eighth cavalry, aided by airmen as
scouts tonight are combing the
mountains for the bandits who held
the two American aviators for S15.-
600 ransom.
After the forward dash over the
border just after dawn today, the
troops probably were handicapped to-
night by storm which was report
ed in messages by field telephone to
be raging in the mountains below the
border.
1t was feared the torrential rains
would obliterate trails left by the
bandits. The expeditionary force for
time moved forward in the face of
high winds, according to the reports.
The two lieutenants, II. G. Peter
son and Paul N. Davis, for whom ran
som were demanded and who were re-
leased early today, guided the Amer
leans in their quest of the Mexicans
outlaws.
With nearly six hours start on the
punitive expedition, the bandits are
believed to have scattered in the
mountain passes and canyons, and il
probably will be necessary to search
every square mile of the rough coun-
try below the border to find them.
IN the opinion of military men.
Deplte the difficulty in locating the
bandits from the air, American avia-
tors who left the flying field here
early today, secuted almost the en-
tire Ojinaga district.
Bandit Strength Unknown.
1t was not known tonight how
many were in the bandit band. Lieut..
Davis and Lieut. Peterson said they
saw six men. There were 20 other
bandits at the ranch where the out
laws stopped. The American aviators
We're told the band numbered so.
Arrangements for nurses, ambu-
lances and surgical dressings for the
punitive expedition troops were be-
ing made tonight by Elmer Donnell
OF st. Louis for use in case of emer-
gency.
A report from the expedition indi-
Gated that pursuit had continued
throughout the day, but that there
had been no contact with the ban
dts.
H. NJ. Fennell, banker of this city
arrived late today and announced
that the amount of ransom actually
paid for release Of the aviators was
$500. He declared a recount OF
the money brought back by Capt.
Matlack after the release of the avia-
tors showed $6,500 remained.
Fennell brought the $6,500 back to
Maria this afternoon and deposited
it in bank. The money was in $50
bills. Fennell said the army would
reimburse the cattlemen who sub
scribed the ransom money.

FARMERS THREATEN
REDUCTION in FOOD
Representative Tells Congress
That if Price Reductions
Will Solve Living Problem
Farmers Are Willing, "But
Let Whole Brotherhood of
Man Go Full Route. win
Cut Food Production Unless
Demands Met.

Washington, Aug. 16.--Congress
was faced with an ultimatum from
American farmers tonight.
Next years food supply will be
materially reduced" unless Con-
gress enacts a sweeping program of
legislation to protect the farmer and
repeals wartime control of food,
heads of farmer organizations de-
cared at joint session today of the
House and Senate agricultural COM
mittees.
The farmers recommendations
run counter at many points to Presi-
dent Wilson's announced program
and Attorney General Palmer's re-
quest that the food control act be
broadened.
Fright now the American farmer
holds in his hand the power to deter
mine quite definitely the size of next
years crop of all foodstuffs," J. r.
Howard, president of the Iowa far
mer bureau federation, declared to
the committee members.
with that he has power to deter
mine whether or not the worlds ta-
bic will be abundantly supplied next
year."
Farmers sought to have the Senate
agricultural committee issue an Of
fetal statement supporting their po-
sition, but Senator Wadsworth, New
York, and others opposed this sug-
gestion.
II prefer to suspend Judgment and
wait until we have fully weighed the
facts" Wadsworth said.
AS spokesman for a great number
of middle western farmers, Howard's S
statements were listened to intently
by the members Of Congress and the
Senate.
Will Go Limit.
"The American former does not
sympathize with artificial or politi-
cal quackery for befogging the real
issues" Howard declared. "If prices
bring desired results, which he rather
doubts, the farmer viii go as far as
"But he will not go alone. Let the
whole brotherhood of man go the
full route.
"If capitalistic monopoly wants
enough food produced that it may be
feasted, if organized labor wants food
produced so that they may occasion
ally eat, let them stand forth now at
this time when the farmers must de-
termine his 1920 food production
program, and declare by deeds, their
Willingness to cooperate"
Howard explained that the deeds
required would include Cutting out
of profiteering in goods and wages
and the doing of a full days work
for full days pay"
Failure of these forces to do this
now will be boomerang that, ere
the next cycle of the season, will eff
feet a condition of living now un-
dreamed"
Farmers demands as outlined by
National Grange Representatives at
the hearing today included:
> Abandonment of unnecessary func-
tions of government.
Abolition of wheat price regulation
and price fixing on any primary food
or clothing at the end of the present
crop season.
All war time restrictions and regu-
lations of the food administration to
be terminated at once.
Immediate termination of war
trade board powers.
Revision of taxation and tariff to
give equality to the farmer.
Farmers refuse to bear any great
part of the blame for the high cost
of living" Howard declared. He CEN
tered most of the blame on middle
men and extravagant habits of the
public.

of conversation, Il had hardly antici-

how lovely her long lashes appeared
resting on her cheeks.
LawtOn shuff1ed his feet uneasily
and ran his finger around the inside of
his collar. Cecile was sitting perilous-

tured.
Cecile pretended to be taken by sur
prise. "Oh, could never find anyone
who could understand"
What is there to understands

time.
Cecile was anticipating her enjoy

DANGER In LETTER WRITING
Abundant Proof That One Should Be
Careful About Committing His
Thoughts to Paper.

The first woman letter writer on
record was Queen JeZebel, wife OF
Ahab, and she used her pen for the
purpose of deception. The story is
told in 1 Kings 3 10. When Ahab was
mourning because he could not obtain
Naboth's vineyard by fair means,
Jezebel conceived of foul ones. $50
she wrote letters in Ahab's name and
sealed them with his seal, and sent the
letters unto the elders and to the
mobiles that were in his city, and that
dwelt with Naboth.' They suggested
plot which resulted in the death Of
Naboth by stOning.
An earlier letter mentioned in the
Bible was written by a man and was
equally detestable When we remem-
Der the contents and the purpose OF
David's letter to Joab, how it did for
Uriah what Jezebel did for NabOth,
and from a worse motive, we could
have wished of this too that it had
never been preserved.
The writing Of letters has proved to
be disastrous to more than one man,
and they have brought downfall to
many. Every one should be careful
OF what they write. Good letters, like
good thoughts, bring back good things.
