THE NACO SITUATION
At Naco, east of Nogales, the
situation remains unchanged. Fed

at Naco awaiting attack from Gen

trated at Del Rio, about IL miles
south of Naco. Just when Topete
will make his attach no one knows
but Topete. Newspapermen have
long ago ceased becoming excited
over the report that "Topete will
attack at daybreak." However. it
is believed, the rebel attack will
get under way within the next few
days.
AT MAZATLAN
Just what has happened at Ma
zatlan, 750 miles south of Nogales,
is not exactly clear to anyone out
side of the rebel and federal mill
tary. News from Mazatlan
through rebe! sources has been
very scarce the past few days,
but according to a report made
to the American State Depart
ment by United States Consul
William P. Blocker of Mazatlan
the rebels were repulsed in their
recent attack on Mazatlan.
Mexico City government re-
ports state that the rebels are
fleeing north from Mazatlan to-
ward Culiacan. These reports
are denied by rebel headquarters
in Nogales, Sonora, where it is
said that the rebels, after "bot-
Ting up" the federal General
jaime Carrillo and his forces,
have left for the south with
Guadalajara as their objective.
Federal reports received here
this week state that a rebel avi-
ator was killed in fighting north
of Mazatlan, and that govern
ment agents have cut railroad
communications north of Culiacan
to prevent the rebels from flee
ing north of Culiacan.

Home ownership Is so clearly recog-
nized as advantageous to society as q
whole that county governments give the
holder of real estate greater leeway in
the payment of taxes than he Is given
for the payment Of any other bills sub
mitted to him during his lifetime, the
National Association of Real Estate
Boards states in its weekly bulletin on
realty subjects.
The statutes in the various States
operate to help the home owner keep
his property even when it falls into the
hands of professional tax buyers" who
make business Of settling the bills OF
delinquent property owners.
What happens when a tax buyer
pays your taxes? The association
quotes Erwin r. Barney. special tax at
torney of Chicago, on the subject.
Pay your taxes promptly, or some one
to place a lien on your property, and
thereby cloud your title, says Mr..
Barney.
Tax Buyers Operate.
Professional "tax buyers" operate in
every part of the country, and the
owner who falls into their hands can
not sell his property or borrow money
on it until he redeems his holdings,
which is usually a costly proceeding,
states the tax expert.
Property taxes are due once a year
in each State. Property owners are
given a certain length of time to make
payments. the time varying in the diff
ferent States. Owners who have not
paid their taxes at the end of this
period are declared delinquent, and are
penalized so much per month, according
to the statutes Of the various States.
At this period the county treasurer
publishes q list Of the delinquent tax
payers and declares in this announce
ment that within a certain time wary
ing in the different States application
will be made at the proper court for
judgment and order of sale on all prop
erty upon which taxes have not been
paid at the date of Judgment. And
here is one place where the statutes in
all States we're drawn to protect the
interests of the property owner to keep
his property.
After such publication the delin-
quent owner is given another breathing
spell before the tax buyer can reach
him. He has from the time of the
granting Of the Judgment to the time
of the actual tax sale to pay his taxes.
And this period, varying in the differ
ent States, is usually a matter of weeks.
During this time the owner can still pay
his taxes, together with the monthly
penalties described above provided by
the statute.
