Washington.?The outcome of the State Department's efforts to got from General Carranza permission for immediate use of Mexican railways for transporting supplies to the American forces in Mexico was awaited with keen interest hero.

In our school fairs of the past the one teachdr school competed against the high school and the rural graded school and only a few entered. Past experience hus suggested this plan of division. Wo think that it would be better to have a high school division, a rural graded school division and a one teacher school division, and let the schools compete only against the schools or the division to which it belongs. The following is a list of the prizes: DIVISION NO. 1. Best Exhibit of School Work. Each school will arrange and decorate its booth or table according to its own plan. High School Division. 1st premium $?0; 2nd, $15. Rural Graded School Division. 1st premium, $20; 2nd, 15; 3rd, $10; 4th, $5; five others, $3 each. DIVISION NO. 2. Ini provements.

Which School will hold the banner after the Fair? The banner is a very beautiful 24X 30 inches made in colors of scarlet ?' i V f ; jj THE HORRY HE! SOME ADVANTAGE BUT NOT ENOUGH Carranza's Permission Considered Insufficient Under The Circumstances WGHT CAUSE DELAYS AND BRING TROUBLES Army Men Very Desirous of Ha ving Full Control of I Shipments. San Antonio, Texas.?News that Gen. Carranza had granted permission for the shipment of supplies over the Northwestern railroad to the United States troops in Mexico was received with satisfaction at Gen. Funston's headquarters here, but the elation manifested was tempered by the fact that the supplies must be consigned as ordinary freight to some individual not connected with the army. Gen. Funston had not received official notification that he was at liberty to make shipments over the railroads, but orders already issued to the commissary department were such that no delay was anticipated in the movement of stores accumulated at El Paso. Staff officers at headquarters had expected to get unqualified consent to use of the Northwestern road and per mission to ship supplies only as commercial freight, without giving tin army the right to supervise their transportation, it was believed will prove inadequate and might cause serious delay. It was pointed out that the railroad south of Juarez is in bad shape and a shortage of rolling stock would prove another hindrance. The first shipment of supplies will be sent from Juarez to Casas Grandes and from there distributed by motor trucks and wagon trains to the detachments that are beating the trails 150 miles to the south in pursuit of Villa. and gold.
