SONORA PREPARING
TO RESIST INVASION
Men and Munitions Are Being So Dis
posed as to Meet Expected
Attack of Federals.

Aqua Prieta. Sonora, Mexico. April
10 Officials of the Sonora state gov
ernment, whose detection from the
Carranza government the Mexico fed
eral leaders are seeking to put down
by force of arms, continued to day
their disposition OF men and muni.
tions to oppose possible invasion. In
the meantime Sonora forces were far
south OF the Sonora border, pressing
through Sinaloa to the attack of Ma.
zatlan, the principal seaport.
Sonora leaders expressed satisfaction
at word from Mexico City that there
had been a rising in the state of Mi
choacan, even though the official news
of the affair described ii as purely local
in character, They also drew favorable
conclusions from word brought by de-
serters from federal forces at Casas
Grandes that Villa was becoming ac-
tive in Chihuahua.

ARMY MULE GETS HIS DUE
After About Everybody and Every.
thing Has Received Praise.

Washington, D. c., April I9Almost
everybody and everything that con
tributed to the winning Of the war has
received some sort of public recognition
| from the war department. Even the
patient, long suffering, hard working
and oft-ridiculed army mule has at
| last come to his eneonium, in an APP
probation from the quartcrmaster gen
eral
Here follows the slow down on the
army mule as it comes to-day in an
official publication. There We're more
than 10000 of him engaged with the
army overseas, and more than 100000
with the troops In the United States
and while there was as much hee.hav
ing, kicking, baking. biting and other
mulish tricks as might be expected, the
army mule lived up to his established
reputation for enduring, sacrificing and
dying like soldier.
There was no comparison" says the
quartermaster generals announcement,
between the small poorly nourished
mule secured in Spain, and those pur-
chased in southern France. and the
powerful, outstanding mealy prod
uct Of the middle west.
There were times during the final
stage Of the World war when it was
impossible to give much needed rest TO
these animals. There were not enough
to do the work which confronted them,
and the result was that ii was neces-
sary TO keep on the move, As, go and
sometimes " hours, with hardly more
than a pause. Then it was possible
only to feed small amount of grain
and few handfuls of hay. Under this
strain the mule went forward, giving
his all uncomplainingly.
"The mule has always been given the
credit of having his full quota of
brains, but at times il seemed he had
more than his share.
Instances have been known where
pack mule would loaf about the army
kitchen while the cook was baking
bread until he observed the cook busy
at some other duty, when he would
approach the fire, raise one foot and
paw off the lid OF the Dutch oven. grab
the hot loaf within and make off with |
IL on the run. He would do the same il |
he observed a hunk of bacon within
easy reach
Many farmers these days. devoted to
eral principles. but the army loves and |
admires him for services rendered and |
would like to see him get the distin !
guished service medal. Perhaps his
yalor and constancy in wartime will |
him TO softer sentiments in
times Of peace

LUNCH BOX CLUBS
NOW BEING FORMED

New York, April 10. The
Cheese club, which introduced the
South's overall campaign to New
York last week, to-day started a
brand new attack on high prices
by urging overall wearers and
others to carry lunch boxes from
home to work. Dollar and
more" lunches arc the reason for
the latest move.
Enthusiastic proponents Of the
idea claim that in addition to the
valne of eating a comparatively
cheap, wholesome, home made
lunch. considerable time now
spent in crowded restaurants at
the noon hour, will be saved. The
club points ont that this extra
time, if spent in strolling in the
fresh air, will be beneficial to
the health.

Pennington Loses
a Valuable Asset

"Teddy Autsen," a most attractive
and useful Irish Cooie dog, passed to
his eternal reward Tuesday afternoon
on the court house lawn, which he
had made his headquarters for num-
ber of years. Old age is supposed to
have caused his demise, as he had ev-
identity haen well fed, and appeared
fat antt IeeS even after he had en-.
tered upon his last long sleep. In
terment of the remains was made
Wednesday afternoon, presided over
by Marshal Hough, and many were
the expressions of appreciation of the
public service that "Teddy" had per-
formed during his busy life.
While his splendid disposition made
him a universal pet, he was also a
natural sleuth, in which line he had
rendered to the different night watch
men of the city for many years val
liable services. Whenever search
was being made for suspicious indi-
viduals, "Teddy's" services were inval-
liable, as he would go through an al
ley, no matter how dark the night, and
ferret out the suspected parties who
perhaps could never have been dis
covered without this faithful dog.
When an attempted burglary was sus-
pected, all that was necessary was to
let Teddy" into the establishment,
and if there was anyone there the dog
would quickly find him. He always
appeared to know what was desired
of him, and never failed to acquit
himself most creditably.
Originally "Teddy" was member
of Thos. Autsen's family, Farming
tons "Old Reliable butcher, but since
his owner moved to St. Louis several
years ago he was evidently bequeathed
to the city, for which he had long rem
dered valuable services. He never in
dicated any political prejudices, being
always ready and willing to render
the best possible service to a long sue
cession of night watchmen, regardless
of what their political affiliations
were. "Teddy" will be soreIy missed
by many old friends. Peace to his
ashes.
