ANOTHER TOWN SACKED.
s- Bandits Probably Let By Villa Himself.
l- El Paso, Texas, April 12.?A band
n of Villa followers, numbering several
3- hundred and possibly a thousand,
)f have sacked Sierra Mojada, five miles
5S across the Coahuila line and eighty
s- miles east of Jiminez. destroying
it many thousands of dollars' worth of
:e American property and looting the
town of* everything of value.
:n This news, which may prove to be
;n of the highest importance, as it is bed
lieved possible Villa himself was
?s among the raiders, was received here
d today by the representatives of one.
l- of the largest American mining con
)f cerns in Mexico and was accepted by
ie him as authentic.
> The bandits made their attack on
re the t'own on April 5. They came
:e from Escalon, a junction point on the
Mexican national railroad, sixty miles
southeast of Jiminez. On their way
to Sierra Mojada they sacked the
small town of Corrilo.
Villa May Be Leading.
( The belief that Villa himself may
^ be directing the bandit operations is
e supported'by a report received today
from Ojinagas stating that Col. Rojas,
the commander there, had informa'
tion that Villa had doubled in his
? tracks and was 200 miles southwest
of that town.
Ojinagas is directly across the border
from Presidio, Texas, and about
1^
150 miles north of Sierra Mojada.
Another circumstance that gives
^ coler to this location of the bandit
n chief is the fact that Canuto Reves
^ at the head of a large number of men,
was reported from Torreon a week
ago to be traveling north in the dir'_
rection of Sierra Mojada. It was the
belief at. the time in Torreon that
^ Villa's ally was on his way to join his
j chief. If it proves true, Villa has
jj evaded the American troops who
have been driving south at an amaz>?
i
^ ing speed and are today reported,
from reliable sources, to be well
" south of Parral and close to the Durango
border.
g Sierra Mojada is 140 miles east of
. * the nearest point at which American
ir
^ troops are known to be.
e The Watermelon.
). |
>s It's none too early to make upj
' your mind that you are going to glad-i
ie den the whole summer by having the'
!' finest watermelon patch you have
ever had. A farmer in the South
J" whose family doesn't feast on this
^ luscious farm product from July to
** September is simply cheating him''
self and them out of some of his best
IS opportunities for joyous living. As
5* Mark Twain, himself Southern born,
' well said on one occasion:
r "The true Southern watermelon is
>s a boon apart, not to be mentioned
with commoner things. It is chief
^ of this world's luxuries, king bjj!
grace of God over all the fruits of j
r* the earth. When one has tasted it,'
" he knows what the angels eat. It |
was not a Southern watermelon that |
^ Eve took; we know it because she
d repented."
^ How to Grow Watermelons.
Query: Please give the best
e methods of growing watermelons on
" sandy land?" Howr much fertilizer
should I use? Does it pay to prune
the vines?
Answer: There are thousands of
5* acres in melons grown where I live.
^ Our growers prepare the land in Dep'
cember or January and check it out
' 8 bv 8 feet and put half a bushel or
1 '*
more manure in each check and let]
it lie. till spring to rot. Then they
EV
add a handful of a good fertilizer on
" this at planting time and mix it well
' and make up the hill and plant.
' When a good stand is secured thin to
y
two plants.. Then scatter a tablespoonful
of nitrate of soda around
EL
\ each hill and cultivate clean. Never
0
prune the vines at all. In the ab3*
sence of manure, put in the hill about
x
a bushel of black mold from the
'' woods and then mix cotton seel meal
and acid phosphate equally and put a
handful of this well mixed in the
y woods mold and cover and make the
[
hill.?Progressive Farmer,

MAX FACES FIRING SQUAD.
Don MacGregor, British Subject, Was
Spotted, and Villa Got Him.
"This is my third attempt to get
some stuff out of Mexico to your
j magazine and God only knows if this
wall get out of the country.
"It1 is strictly against the law down
here to send out articles uncensored.
"I'd as soon lose my right arm as
allow these fellows to censor my
stuff.
"I believe I am spotted anyway.
"The penalty if caught is deportation
at the nearest port of entry?or
the firing squad.
"I have no firing ambitions."
This is the last message that came
out of Mexico from Don MacGregor.
It accompanied an article on the Mexican
revolution, published in the
April International Socialist Review.
Don MacGregor, special correspondent
for several daily papers in
Mexico, was spotted!
He has faced Villa's firing squad.
In the town of Minaca, near Chihuahua,
the bandits stood him
against a wall March 27, and his life
paid the penalty for defying Villa in
sending across the border what he
believed to be the truth about Mexico.
It was his courage and enterprise
in newsgathering and newswriting
that led him to that blank wall in
Minaca.

:\iauvjrregur was a dhush suujcci,
a native of Scotland, but the "world
was his country." He explored its
remotest corners. He came to America
eight years ago from the University
of Edinburgh. He was making
a tour around the world and stopped
at San Francisco.
From San Francisco he went to
Chicago where he became an active
worker and writer in the labor movement.
Though born close to the
seats of the social and financial
mighty ones, MacGregor took his
place in the ranks of the masses, and
his writings are almost exclusively
devoted to them.
What's to Do When Pencil's Gone?
Another serious "war shortage" is
said to be staring us all in the face.
According to commercial reports this
one will compel us to reverc to the j
custom of the fathers and save our
pencil stubs. A veritable pencil famine
appears to be on its way, due, of
course, to the jluropean war. There j
is enough of lead, graphite and wood
in America to supply the demand for
I ordinary pencils, it said, but many
of the other "makings" are scarce almost
to the disappearing point.
. The dyes that are used in manu-;
facturing the orange, red, yellow and
blue varnishes with which the better
grade pencils are' coated are obtainable
only at almost prohibitory
prices, while the particular dye that
! is the distinguishing component of
copying pencils?methyl violet?is
practically exhausted. Munition
manufacturers are helping to create
the shortage in rubber-tipped pencils,
by using so much brass that comparatively
little is left for the tips
with which the rubber is attached.
If the scarcity increases, the pen
will be mightier than the pencil-?

System.
v
The visitor was being shown about
by the head of the up-to-date business.
"Who is that dapper youth at the
glass-topped desk?" he asked.
"That is the superintendent of the
card-index system. He keeps an index
showing where the index cases |
are."
"Who is the young man with the
gray gaiters and the efficient ears?"
"He keeps an index showing the
j length of time it takes to index the
indexes."
"Who is the girl with the golden
hair?"
i "She decides under what index an
index to the index of the filing cabinets
shall be placed."
"And who is the gray-haired man
at the discarded desk in the corner?"
"Oh, that's Old Joggs. He doesn't
fit in very well with the rest of the
office, but I have to keep him around.
He's the only employe who can find
important papers when I want them
in a hurry."
Safety First.

A miserly lanlord was going round
collecting his rents the other day.
At one house he was greatly interested
in a little girl, who watched
open-mouthed and open-eyed the
business of paying over the money
and accepting the receipt.
He patted her on the head, and
started to search his pocket, saying,
"I must see what I have got for
you."
After searching his pockets for
some time he at last brought out
from a remote corner a peppermint.
As he handed it to the girl he
said: "And what will you do with
that?"
The little girl looked at it, then .
at him, and replied, "Wash it."
