Show SAW MEXICANS IN MILITARY ARRAY Robert A Moyes'and wife have returned re-turned from a pleasant trip to California, Califor-nia, delighted with the outing but hap py to get home They visited all the cities of southern California and crossed cross-ed the border line into Mexico to view the war ruins of last year The interesting point in Mexico says Mr. Moyes. was the little town of Tia Juann. Just over the line, where considerable lighting was done about a year ago and where 6oldlers of the federal arm are now stationed There are only about 150 people In the town, most of whom are povert stricken The soldiers are stationed In an adobe fort that Is a laughable affair If Is about ns much protection against a fusillade of bullets from i American guns as a frame shack. The soldiers are diminutive fellows, ra.; ged and dlrtv Around the so-called fort is a barricade of earth elevated only a few feet above the surface The effects of the bombardment of a yt'ar ago are plainly visible, all the buildings being riddled with bullets Most of the residents have left, fear Ing another'outbrealt. Mr. Moves states that It is really as tonishlng to witness the devastating blight of the winter frost on the orange or-ange and lemon groves south of San Bernardino The crops are literally destroyed and many of the trees kili ed lie saw thousands of bushels of oranges rotting on the ground, anu even the flowers wore destroyed. Thl condition prevails in all of the southern south-ern sections and even into Mexico. It Is almost Impossible to estimate the loss. Mr and Mrs Moves met many Ogden Og-den people on their trip |
