Treasure Left in Flight.
Some of llu* rich members of the
b* •'iiig army—fur there are a number
< \t I’thy Mexican families among
rrfuc*cx—wore compelled by
icral Mercado’s soldiers to kill
meir horses and mules for food. Even
the pack animals carrying a treasure
i hu’lion and plate owned by the
'! - rra/as and other rich Mexican fam-
ies were slain for food.
Straggling bands of soldiers flanked
the caravan and acted as advance and
Tear guard to prevent any attack by
bandits.
When the flight started, many of
ne wanderers threw away arms, pro
visions and clothing in panic. When
ihe mountain country was struck,
i he weather became very cold and
exposure added to the distress of the
fugitives.
U. S. to Aid Refugees.
Examples of noble sacrifice among
the civilians were ^common. Fathers
and mothers discarded their own
clothing that their children might be
warm.
The United States military and
civil authorities are co-operating to
care for the hungry and pennimss
refugees. An emergency camp has
been established by Captain Going,
of Troop E, Fifteenth United States
Cavalry.
Throughout the night a number of
Mexican residents of Ojinaga crossed
the border of Presidib because of re
ports that Constitutionalists were ad
vancing upon the town to attack the
Federal soldiers.
Lads Leave for Home Elated Over Great Atlanta
Show and Parade.
Georgia boys will be represented at
the National Corn* Show next Febru
ary in Dallas, Texas.
This announcement was made Fri
day by Dan Hughes, Assistant Com
missioner of Agriculture. It was the
Boys’ Corn Club Show at the State
Capitol that did it.
Heretofore the big National Show
has been practically monopolized by
the grown-up farmers. This year one
State at least will have a big exhibit
to show what the young citizens can
do in the way of raising prize-win-
ning corn.
T. O. Plunkett, manager of the farm
department for the Southern Rail-
way, will have charge of the exhibits

cure the pick of the boys’ exhibits to
take with him to Dallas.
Boys to Get Credit.
With J. Phil Campbell, the prime
mover in the boy^ show, he will go
over every exhibit on the first floor
of the Capitol and select the best
ears on display. These will be placed
witli exhibits obtained by Southern
Railway agents in their travels about
the State and will be grouped at the
Dallas show as Georgia’s display.
Every boy will be given credit for
his work. His name will appear on
his exhibit at Dallas just as it did in
Atlanta. The yield per acre and the
cost of production also will be noted.
One of the interesting exhibits that
will go from Georgia will be an ear of
com raised by Aaron Moon, of New
ton County. It represents the ideal
type of corn and probably is the most
nearly perfect ear In every respect at
the show.
Boys Go Home Elated.
Georgia Corn Club boys were re
turning to their homes Friday with
the happy thought that they had
participated in the most successful
com show and the best parade since
the organization of the corn clubs in
the South.
It was a great parade. It obtained
its pre-eminence from the great
crowds that watched it as well as
from the hordes of Joyous corn club
and high school boys that had a part
in it.
Traffic halted. The street railway
company was powerles^. The boys
simply pre-empted the streets and
the crowds did the rest. There was
no piercing the solid blocks of hu
manity that congested the .Tossings
and refused to move until the boyh
had passed by.
Winners Lead Parade.
The 85 husky farm lads who had
succeeded in reaching or passing the
100-bushel-per-acre mark were the
recipients of the most generous show
ers of cheers and applause from the
crowds that lined the streets all the
wav from the Capitol, where the pa
rade had its beginning, to the point
where the happy marchers broke
ranks.
Each of the envied boys was rep
resented by a large white sign held
aloft to tell his name to all U\e world
and to relate just how many bushels

Proudly at the head of the 85
strode young Edward J. Welborn.
Well he might be proud, for he had
eclipsed the State record and had
raised 181.72 bushels to the acre, a
mark that any veteran farmer in the
land might try for years to surpass.
