General Carranza to-day received
a dispatch from General Renevldes.

Villa or any of his agents have rer
<>gnlzed Carranza's claims to he *h*

Mexican Government Is on the look
out for a filibustering expedition out
of Mobile and Is keeping a sharp

point on the Mississippi coast is the
belief strengthened by a report from
Pensacola of a Mexican gunboat stop

a gunboat to remain concealed and at
the same time keep a close look-out
on all vessels leaving.

anv rate, I like to read that wives
really win]) to give their husband*

Helves something that will bear tin-
mark of personality.
And I also like to know that bus
bands snatch enough time from their
business cares to think up some ap
propriate gift for their wives. J*'« a
good sign when we can get both
sides of the family thinking and
planning It means the quick solution
of the whole problem of Christmas
