Presidio, Tex., Nov. 20. Six al leged suspicious characters have been detained here in efforts to cross the Rio Grande since Villa captured Oji naga, the Mexican town across that stream from here. Military and other federal officers have been examining all who pass in and out of Presidio in search of Mexican politicians aligned with the Villa movement.

"A third was from Oaxaca and declared he was a dealer in straw hats, who came to the border to sell hats to the federal forces in Ojinaga. Still another was a colonel in Zapata's forces, sent here to represent his chief, according to his statements. Two were from central Chihuahua. The statements of all these men igreed in that they recognized Villa is the logical leader of the new move iient and claimed he had strong fal lowings in the states from which they came.

Washington, Nov. 20. Secretary Houston announced today that despite his conviction that the gov ernment fees charged this year for grazing privileges on the national for ests are below the real Value of the forage, there will be no further ad vance in those fees for the present. This assurance and a statement that there will be no substantial change in the existing regulations governing the issuance of grazing permits for more than a year were made in a letter Jie sent to the secretaries of the Ameri can National Live Stock association and the National Wool Growers' association. On account of war conditions, Sec retary Houston said in his letter, stockmen have been called upon to overcome many difficulties in order to keep up the suddIv of beef, mutton hides and wool for this country and the allies, and for that reason he. has decided that grazine fees now in force will be continued, "with the ex ception of such minor changes as may seem advisable to adjust and correlate the fees between certain "forests or groups of forests. The secretary said that he feels the matter of issuing five or ten-year per mits also should be deferred for con siaeration later, tne demand tor in creased meat production tending- to make the issuance of such permits in advisable.

Wholesale and Retail Distributors for Omaha When Writing to Our Advertiiers Mention Seeing it n The Bee Congress Non-Skid Tires Hold the Road mi Urn ill im THEY answer the steering wheel without slip or slide because they grip the road. They reduce the possibility of skidding to a minimum making motoring safer and driving a pleasure in stead of a task. The cupped studs combined with reinforced bars and bands provide a direct and positive re sistance to slippage in any direc tion. This minimizes friction and keeps your -power cost at the lowest possible mark. And the Congress Non-Skid sjives a smooth, even riding con tact with the , road. The bars and bands bridge the small gaps between studs, thus eliminating all jolt and jar common to .non skid tires. . But this "hold the road" qual ity of Congress Non-Skid is due not alone to the tread. Rather to the M balance" in design and materials, and to the ex' silence of construction, which are nota ble characteristics of the Congress tire structure. All these make for tire "readability and conse quently for the exceptional dura bility of Congress casings. IMnger Implement Co Distributors 6th and Pacific Streets. Omaha, Nebraska.
