the American tramps are going to re-
main in Mexico until the situation
again became normal and that he and
his colleagues were relying on the ex-
pectation that they could call on
l'nited States soldiers for help frf‘fie
event of serious trouble.
At the saute time there is consider-
able confidence among an important
element of the people here in General
()bregon. The restraint shown by the
people of Northern Chihuahun’ over
the entry of American troops into
Mexico is believed to be largely due
to the influence of (‘arrann'a Minis-
ter of War. it is pointed out that
General Gavira. commander tit Juar-
ez. is a personal apimintee of General
Obregon. and that his constant and
successful efforts to avoid friction
with this country is unquestionably a
reflection of the attitude of his mili-
tary chief.
The coming conference between
General Obregon and General Scott
is awaited with the keeneat interest.
A report was received here today
that Col. Dodd's advanced cavalry de-
tachment had an engagement several
days ago. in which both sides suflered
losses. it was not indicated whether
the battle was with Villa bandits or
with Carranza troops.

Horace Johnson Tells Farmers to Sow
Early and Predicts Storm This
Month.
Horace Johnson. the weather
prophet, proves he's forepreparedness
for in a warning he declares a greet
storm is due between April 30 and
May 4. and he advises farmers to get
ready for a short season and a severe
winter. Here‘s Mr. Johnson's
warning:
”From the 30th of the present
month to the 4th of the succeeding,
there will be a very general disturb-
ance. in the atmosphere which will
be noticeable; a number of changes
will take place. The’ earth will move
into and through the quake zone or
its orbit. There will be a very
strong electrical display accom-
panied with rain. hall and snow. it
will be the general closing of winter.
Farmers get your seeds into the
ground 1i: soon as possible; you will
have a very short season. Prepare for
another long severe winter. Ag l
