witnessed that battle He had come
with about $4,000 of his men and all
his artillery from Chihuahua to at
tack the government forces at Aqua
Prieta While he was on the way
across the country, the United Sta
tes had recognized the Carranza
government and had permitted some
5000 Mexican soldiers to be brought
from Ell Paso through the United
States into Aqua Prieta for the de-
fense of the town. This enraged
Villa so that he later crossed the
line at Columbus, New Mexico, and
raided the town and killed quite a
number of people. General PERISH
ing led force of United States SOL
diers into Mexico to try to capture
Villa, but it resulted in failure Af-
ter the battle at Aqua Prieta which
resulted in the defeat of Villa, his
army divided into two or three parts
and returned to Chihuahua Many
of his men fOrsook him after that,
but with his depleted army he taught
number of subsequent battles and
carried on sort of guerrilla war
fare from that time until he was led
to cease his warfare and settle down
to peaceful life as ranchman
His death removes from Mexico a
picturesque figure and doubtless re-
moves what some of the leaders of
that country still considered a men
ace, for there was no assurance, so
long as Villa lived that he would not
on some pretext or other brake
loose into warfare again.

HOW THE NEW GRAZING
FEE WILL BE FINED

During the many years of grazing
jurisdiction over the National Forest
areas by the Forest Service. it has
been evident that more interest and
activity have prevailed among the
users on the subject of fees charged
than on any other question
The money involved in any trans
action or proposition is a vital phase.
and necessarily tied in with the value
OF the consideration and its cOndi-
tions of operation.
There is considerable work i'm
mediately ahead of our Association
in this question of new grazing
fee. The new regulations provide
that upon the proposed adjustment
of present charges, these fees may
be subject to review and change by
the Forester at intervals of five
years. By having the fees fixed for
periods of five years, and then modi-
fed in accordance with definite and
business-like methods, it is obvious
that the fee question will be stabilized
The new rates will be based upon
an appraised value of the range, de-
termined by rules made to apply to
the local conditions obtaining. In
the discussions at the recent Denve :
conference on proposed grazing fees,
it was agreed that the new rates
should be just and reasonable, based
upon, % a proper use of the grazing
resources to best serve the public
interests, (2) a reasonable conside-
ration of value of the forage to the
users, and (3) effets of the rates up
on the stodkraising industry.
It may be stated to our permittees
that it is the intention of the Forest
Service within very short time to
reach conclusive ideas as to what

NEGRO EXODUS cost
GEORGIA MORE THAN
FAMOUS SHERMAN
MARCH TO THE SEA

The exodus of Negroes from the
South is causing greater loss in terms
OF dollars than the historic march OF
General Sherman to the sea- according
to computations compiled by bankers
who have expressed grave concern
over the increasing numbers IN which
Negroes are moving 90 the northern
manufacturing States. The loss to
Georgia alone it is estimated will for
this year approximate if not exceed SIT

lard 55,524 idle plows are left So rap
id has been the migration that Georgia
now has labor shortage of 7O,S43 per
sons
In an effort to check this movement

larly the bankers who of all profes-
sions probably keep a closer eye on
general industrial conditions are coz
felring with one another. AS parl

James S. Peters of Manchester, Go.

isociation supervised an inquiry int
the results and causes of the eroduS
from that particular State. The cause
it was indicated, lay primarily in the
fact that the Northern States offer Ne
groes better living conditions brought
about by higher wages, greater educa
tional facilities and less race preju-
dice
The destruction caused by this quie'
migration is described as no less str'k
ing than the destruction caused Dy
Sherman's army. The destroyed
area is in this case, as we'll as in the

lands. Weeds instead of crops are grow
