 Resolution Passed
 The Senate yesterday passed a resolution containing a vote of thanks to Dr. L. E. Benson for his services to smallpox stricken com munities on Seward Peninsula last winter It also authorized Gov. Parks to pay him for his services at the current rate for similar pro- fessional work.

To educate farmers in the advan-

To keep farmers informed OF
crop prices, prospects, and the SIT

both in this country and aboard.
To disseminate knowledge on the
results of overproduction and how
to bring production closer to con-

To tell the farmer about land
utilization, reduction Of unprofit-

nation and irrigation. methods OF
expanding home markets, trans
portation conditions, the develop

Those engaged in working out the
plan agree the major difficulty lies
with SURPRISES, and to deal with
them they have proposed what has
become to be known as "stab1llza-
ton corporations" These would be
created by order Of the farm board
upon recommendation from a COM
modify council and, with money
loaned out of the boards proposed
$500, 00O, 900 revolving fund, would

Friends of the president antici-

with the house because those in the

supporters, because there is far bet

because the rules can be invoked

Quite a different situation is pre-
sented in the senate, however for
the republican majority there is
largely a paper one with with a
number of unknown quantities en-

which the administration and con-

ESCOBAR PLANNING
BATTLE AT

JUAREZ, CHIHUAHUA, Mexico,
April 15.-P)-Reports from centerS
of military activity in Sonora, the
state into which various rebel
armies are retreating, indicated to-
day that revolutionary leaders were
leaving a small force at Pulpito
pass to protect their rear and were
concentrating remnants of their col
umns for a stand against the fed
erals advancing up the Pacific coast.
The rebel commander-in-chlef
Gen. j. G.. EScobar, was said to be
moving his entire force, estimated
at 5000, to Nogales, ready to pro-
coed to GuaymaS on the gulf OF
lower California, in which vicinity
a rebel contingent which failed IN
its drive to the south is operating.
Rebel headquarters denied reports
that federalS had occupied Quay
mas. One traveller returning from
Mexico said Gen. Marcelo Caraveo
at Pulpito pass, had a force of only
500 men, many of whom were ready
to Join in recent assertions. A cap
able general with a dependable
handful could delay a large hostile
force at Pulpito pass for a long
time due to excellent defensive adj
yantages of the terrain.
Federal Gen. Juan A. AlmaZan,
who completed his long offensive
from Monterrey to the border yes
terday by entering JuareZ With i've
thousand, or more, men, announced
he intended moving against Pulplto
the moment his repair crews can
restore damaged rails. Suggestions
that the general take his men across
American soil to avoid a long nara
desert campaign through Pulplto
met little favor with A1mazan, who
said he had an army seasoned 10
desert warfare, and he preferred to
continue maneuvering on Mexican
soil. ;r

TRIBUTES PAID
TO JOE BAILEY
Hundreds File Past Casket
In Dallas for Last Glimpse
Of Party Chief

DALLAS, Texas. April 15.-[P)-
Texas mourned today at the bier Of
Joseph Weldon Bailey, who rose
from a country law practice at
Gainesville 40 years ago to leader
ship of the democratic party in the
United States senate and %recogni-
ton as n of the most forceful
orators and puiSsant political fig
ures Of the nation.
Political leaders from every part
Of the state, including many who
opposed the former senator through
his many years of party strife, join
ed friends and relatives and pay
ing tribute to the dead senator as
services were held here and at
Gainesville.
In life Senator Bailey many times
had divided the state into hostile
political camps, his thousands OF
loyal followers being equalled only
by as many thousands who OPP
posed Joe Bailey, the man, and his
doctrines. But with his death Sat-
urday at Sherman in the midst of
a lawsuit, citizens of Texas became
one in r~egretting the passing of a
brilliant man.
The casket was piled high with
floral tributes as the body lay in
state yesterday at the home of his
son here, Joseph Weldon Bailey,
Jr. All day there was a procession
of those who wished a final view
of the dead chieftdin. Included in
the line were scores Of grizzled bar
risters and politicians who had
known Senator Bailey across coun-
sci tables or in legislative halls.
Theirs was genuine grief at his
death.
Services arranged at the First
Presbyterian church here at 1920
a.. m. today were simple, at the re-
quest of the family. DR.. William
M. Anderson, pastor, assisted by
the Rev. James Gober, Methodist
pastor of Gainesville, Senator
Bailey's old home, was asked to
conduct it.
Several hundred persons, includ-
ing a special committee of the Dali
ais Bar association, planned to ac-
company the body to Gainesville
for burial, on a special train leav-
ing Dallas shortly after services.
Burial beside the body of MIR.
Bailey's first wife in Gainesville
cemetery was planned.
Active pallbearers were friends
of Mr.. Bailey and friends of JOS
eph W. Bailey, Jr. They were
Frank Daugherty, Gainesville; J..
L. Lancaster. Jr., Fort Worth; j. E..
Josey, Jr.. Houston; and Nelson
Phillips, Jr., DR.. Hugh McClaurin,
Jr., w. II. Clark. Jr.. Maury Hughes
and Horace Williams, all of Dallas.
1t was suggested yesterday by
many friends of the Bailey fam
lily that the body be taken to Aus
tin to lie in state at the capitol
there for a day, but the son and
widow did not approve.

artists in England.
Their distress is fully as great as

"Often this state of poverty is
found in the homes of artists who
have done good work, but who no

so susceptible to the changes of
fashion as the world of art"
