"Madero'S revolution was political ; Calranza Is quoted as having said. "AIinc is q social one"

Madefo revolution was p0iltlcal, Caranza IS quoted as having said.
 Mine is social one"
 Born of parents in comfortable cir cunStanceS in Cuatro CicnagaS, State os Coahuila, December 29, 1859. Ven UStiano CarranZa waS educated 'N thc public schools of his native statc and later studied law at the Mexican cap itol When he was admitted to ,hc bar, however. affection of the cyrS pre- vented him from practising and he re- turned to his native State to become a rancho" His experiences as a ranch CT first, then aS judge, senator and tinnally Governor of Coahuila, made Carranza familiar with the agarian problem. the root of political unrest in Mexico.
 Having defied Huerta, Carranza rallied a small band of 500 followers which grew into Sizable army when he won the support of Francisco Villa. Carranza'S influence spread rapidly, the military victories of his chief aide, Villa, rallying the various factions Of Northern Mexico around his banner. For time, however, real progress
 
 was slow. Huerta'S machinationS had pnbrOiled Mexico with the United States and intervention seemed im- minent. The killing of W. s. Benton. q British subject. by staff officer of Villa, further complicated the Situa' ton.
 Then came Villas victory at Tor geon. the first real success of the war. Carranza was pressing Huerta hard when the A. B. C. conference to dis cuSS the differences between the Unit ed States and Huerta was called Tn Buffalo General CarranZa refused to SlJ pend hoStilitieS and declined to abide by the result of those diplomatic negotiations. The fighting went on with the result that General Huerta resigned the provisional presidency July l5. 1914. and month later Car lpnza made his triumphal entry into Mexico City, HueIta in the meantime having fled to Spain.
 Shortly afterward independent re- volutioniStS led by Zapata, General Pascual Orozco and others commenc- cd. DiSSenSion between Villa and Car ranza, which began at the Torreon conference, reached a climax Septem- OCT 9, 1914. when Villa declared war OF Carranza. General Alvaro Obregon became Carranza's leading general.
 The Villa generals met at AguaS- callentes in November, 1914, and, in alliance with the Zapata faction, form - cd ConventiOnist Government. The capital changed hands several times

United States, as did also the publica- ton of the Zimmerman note, inviting Mexico to take "by conquest" the States of Texas, Arizona and New Mexico in payment for a declaration of war on the United States acting in concert with Japan.
 General Carranza was married and formerly lived in Saltillo. One of his daughters, Miss Virginia Carranza became the wife of General Candido Aguilar.
 During the past three or four months, the reading public is familiar with Carranza'S trouble, his flight with a fortune, which was later cap tured by the rebels, his several small battles and finally his death.

Anti-Profiteering Tribunals Set Up
Throughout England.
Associated Press

LONDON, Feb. 1O-Twenty-four
convictions obtained before the 1900
-profiteering tribunals set up
throughout England have cost more
than 1000 pounds each, it was declar-
ed by Captain Wedgwood Benn in the
House of Commons during discussion
of proposal to extend the profiteer-
ing Act for another period Of six mon
tbs.
Captain Benn summarized the re-
suits of the act, during its first six
months Of life, by stating:
Nineteen hundred committees have
been appointed; 1885 cases have been
heard-one case per committee; twen-
ty-four convictions have been obtain
ed; $4,000 pounds has been spent. And
the cost Of living has gone up!"
Supporters Of the bill argued that
six months had not given the admin
istrators of the law fair opportunity
of demonstrating it's worth.
The proposed extension of six mon
tbs was voted.

Yesterdays disorder was the result
OF an attempt to lynch Will Lockett.

Special Bond Issue
Election Held Today

A special election is being held in
Leflore county today on the propO-
sition to issue $45,O0O bonds for the
building, etc, of the Ben L. Jones Ag-
ricultural High School at Schlater.
The bad condition of the public
highways will cause the vote cast to
be unusually small, but a pretty good
vote will be cast in the towns throu-
ghout the county on this important
question.
An agricultural high school is need
ed in every county in the State, and
there is no good reason why anybody
should vote against the bond issue
proposed in Leflore county at to-
days election.

THE FLOODS 1920
WERE EADISASTER
Almost Equal Those OF 1910 For the
Riverside Suburbs of Paris-Water
Imprisoned People Whole Week.
Associated Press

PARIS, Feb. 10-The floods of 1920
were disaster almost equal to those
of 1910 for the riverside suburbs Of
Paris. Houses on the banks of the
Seire and Marne in vicinity of Paris
are built in the middle of walled gar
dens the sudden rise Of Is feet had
the effect of imprisoning the occu-
pants for week. Ordinary row-boats
could not pass through the garden
gates, so some beleaguered house
holders were provisioned by canoes,
but in many instances the current was
too strong for these frail craft The
householders were half starved and
were only relieved by the subsidence
of the waters.
The worst sufferers were the in
habitants of Maisons-Alfort and AL
fortville, suburbs situated at the con-
fluence of the Seine and Marne just
above Paris. The ground there lies
low and gets the benefit of the floods
from both rivers. Most of the houses
were flooded up to the second story
and more than 5000 inhabitants were
taken in boats from the upper wind
ows. They were provided with rough
accommodation in the schoolhouses
and other public buildings of suburbs
less affected by the flood. Soldiers
and bluejackets brought up from
Brest, Rochefort and Lorient with
collapsible boats rescued them and
their belongings.
