Only few Of the military leaders
who revolted against the Portes Gil
government more than two months
ago now remain in Mexico. The
only important rebel leader remain
ing is Gen. Manual Aguirre. His abb
sence from the vicinity of the border

Advices from Ell Paso indicate the
rebel defense of Puepito Pass is
weakening and that within a day or
two Gen. Juan Almazan will be able
to march his northern federal army
through the narrow wall Of the
canyon.

acquaintances.
The agents received hot tip
that a "truckload Of white mule"

ammunition the men stood guard

surprise attack they stopped the
driver and demanded the white

The truck pilot invited the dry
officers to help themselves. In
the truck they found just what
their tip said--tiIree light.colored

PL AN LEVY IN
MONTGOMERY

ROCKVILLE, Nd, Apr1 30.-The
Montgomery county commissioners
are preparing for the annual levy
which must be compiled and signed
before July /, it was announced yes
terday by Berry E. Clark, clerk to
the county commissioners.
In preparation for the levy, the
commissioners will meet May z and
IA from 10 o'clock in the morning
until o'clock in the afternoon to
receive and pass upon all accounts
due and receivable against the
county, Mr.. Clark announced. The
office of the clerk is well advanced
in the work of fixing the taxable
basis, upon which is based the tax
rate for the fiscal year, which runs
from July to June 80 in Montgom'
cry county.
A general reassessment OF prop
erty in the county is now in progress
and this will probably add four or
five millions to the taxable basis or
last year, which was $7S,00O, 900.
Last years tax rate was $1.S0 on
the hundred. Much new property
has been added to the records Of the
county since the last general reas-
sessment, but the actual amount
which will be added to the taxable
basis is still problematical.
Mr.. Clark's office has made great
strides in recording the transfers of
all property from recorded deeds
among the land records of the county
and this work is now completed up
to April !, 1929. This is one month
ahead Of the limit required by law.
His office has completed the trans
fers of 1852 deeds which have been
placed on record since 1928 and this
necesitated 5,304 changes in real
estate assessments, all Of which
have been completed.

ADVOCATED
BY JUDGE
- ~ - 49,
aaz a'-Az Ss@

LOS ANGELES, April 80 u.N.S1,
Judge George Bartlett, veteran
Reno divorce jurist, on a visit
here, today prophesied heavy m
, crease in divorces in a few years,
which, to his mind. will be benefit
60 the nation.
Divorce" he observed, brings
peace and happiness.
''The increase in divorces will
come because unhappy husbands
and wives are getting more and
more moral courage to face the silly
conventionalism of society"
As for collusion in obtaining di'
vorces, the gray haired judge termed
the laws attitude 'preposterous,"
and separate maintenance as an
"anachronism which is entirely out
OF date
1T is a greater crime for an un-
happy man and woman to remain
together than to get divorce.
II do not want to be unkind. but
/ believe man is the more tolerant
animal. He is more open-hearted
and generous and infinitely more
anxious to make the best of a bad
job.
Women. on the other hand, are
more irritable and squeamish."
