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, r. r- Longer Skirts and Less Flirting. * Minneapolis, Minn., April 11.?Al' derman William E.

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. -?* ? ? ?? o t> ? v, :\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-? i Augusta Chronicle. 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. 7 ^ 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." NOTICE OF TOWN ELECTION. To the Citizens and Electors of the Town of Bamberg, S.
