Austin, Tex., May 26.—Reports being
daily received by the state department
of agriculture,has disclosed substantial
evidence of the fact that the farmers
of Texas are materially increasing their
acreage of food and feed stuff and de-
creasing the cotton acreage. This is in
harmony with the general campaign
of Commissioner of Agriculture Fred
W. Davis for greater food and feed ton-
nage. These reports are coming from
local farmers’ institutes throughout the
state and through the medium of the
loyalty pledges which have been freely
distributed among the farmers of the
state.
“A gratifying and, concrete example
of increased production,” said Commis-
sioner Davis, “has just come from the
farmers’ institute of stnset, Montague
county. The institute at Sunset reports
that 120 farmers, composing its mem-
bership, have made the following in-
ceses over 1916 in food and feed
crops: Corn, 43 per cent; peanuts, 25
per cent; hay, 40 per cent; other food
crops also show a material increase,
while cotton shows a decrease.
“The thousands of reports coming in
carry similarly encouraging figures,
and if efficient conservation prevails,
Texas will have done its bit hand-
somely. Sunset also reports 2,037 head
of cattle dipped in the tick eradication
campaign.” Mr. Davis feels highly en-
cpuraged over the reports from all sec-
tions of the state.
HIGHWAY COMMISSION.
Gov. Ferguson is expected to shortly
announce the appointment of the three
members of the state highway commis-
sion, as the law creating the commis-
vion passed at the regular session of
the Thirty-fifth legislature provides
that the commission shall be named
within sixty days after this act be-
comes effective. While the law becomes
effective on July 1, 1917, it is said not
to be the intention of the governor to
await until that time, as the commis-
sion will have to be named for some
time before in order to get the state
highway department organized and
ready(for business at the time the act
goes into effect. Despite the fact that
there is no salary attached to the law
to pay the commission, there have been
a large number of applications filed
with the governor for membership on
the board. Members of the commission
shall receive $10 per day while in the
official discharge of their duties and
traveling expenses, the same as paid to
members of the board of regents of the
university.
POLITICAL POT BOILS.
The presence here cf several states-
men and members of the Democratic
party has given rise to the report that
some big political story is soon to be
released. In fact it is said that there
will shortly be an announcement made
of a candidate for the governorship at
the next general primary election and
that it will be former State Senator W.
A. Hanger of Fort Worth. For the past
several- months th 3 name of Senator
Hanger has been mentioned among
political leaders as a suitable candi-
date for antiwing of the party. Sena-
tor Hanger spent the day here and had
a conference with Gov. Ferguson.
Among others who are here are Col. J.
F. Wolters of Houston, Walter Collins,
in the woods to hunt berries. She
meets some poor children and gives
them all the food in her little basket,
takes off her coat and gives it to the
little girl. When she starts home she
finds she has lost her way; she prays
and the angels put golden stars on the
ground to show her the way home.

Men now in custody operated when
the United States was a neutral. Spy-
ing now is a very different thing and
is likely to lead to the gallows instead
of to comfortable detention quarters.
In announcing Admiral Sirn’s dis-
patch the navy department through
the committee on public information
said:
“The department calls attention to
this fact as proof that the German spy
system is still at work in this country,
making imperative the need of secrecy
in connection with our naval opera-
tions. The premature publication of
ship movement in particular is “a
source of danger.”
NO VESSELS SUNK.
A categorical denial that American
naval vessels have been sunk in the
war was issued last night by Secre-
tary Daniels to counteract a “cam-
paign of vicious rumors that is being
carried on so industriously by persons
unknown.” It was the first official
notice to be taken of a flood of re-
ports of naval disasters that started
almost as soon as it was known that
American destroyers were in the war
-zone.
“It is with deep regret,” said the'
secretary in a formal statement, “that
I note the daily stream of false reports
with regard to the sinking of Amer-
ican ships. Brokerage . wires are a
particular source of those baseless ru-
mors that can not but be the cause of
needless distress to every true Amer-
ican as well as to the mothers and
fathers of the nation who have sons
at sea.
“The department have giver repeat-
ed assurance that its policy is to be
one of absolute frankness with re-
spect to disaster. If it should be that
ships are sunk, full information will
be given out officially and quickly.
“The reason for those false reports
can not be ascertained. The one hope
is that the press will refuse to aid this
campaign of vicious rumor that is be-
ing carried on so industriously by per-
sons unknown.”
Although only in remote cases have
the sensational rumors found their
way into print, their distribution has
been widespread and in , some cases
their influence has been marked by
wire fluctuations in grain, cotton and
stock exchanges. The Washington
correspondents and news service have
had innumerable queries about report-
ed disasters to one or another destroy-
er or battleship, and one rumor widely
circulated of a mythical engagement
off Helgoland in which a large num-
ber of American ships were supposed
to have been lost.
BIDS AND PROPOSALS, j

arsidders will be required to furnish a

One of the prettiest out-door festi-
vals that can well be imagined was
staged yesterday afternoon in Menard
park under the auspices of the Moth-
ers’ club of the Sam Houston school.
The entertainment was given by the
pupils of the school and was excel-'
lently arranged and executed.
A large audience of mothers and
friends of the young folks witnessed
the program and expressed the great-
est enthusiasm for the performance of
the children and the work of the
Mothers’ club.
No admission was charged to the af-
fair, but small stands furnished re-
freshing drinks and light refreshments.
The proceeds from these sales will go
to swell the fund for purchasing play-
ground apparatus for the school.

Washington, May 26.—Four days be-
fore the American destroyer flotilla
arrived abroad Berlin knew it was on
the way, and to what port it was go-
ing and the day before the little ves-
sels steamed into Queenstown German
submarines had strewn mines about
the harbor entrance.
This startling information, revealing
that German spies not only are still at
their work in sthis country, but that
they have a swift and sure means of
communicating America’s war secrets
to the fatherland, came to the navy
department in a cablegram from Rear
Admiral Sims at London.
The admiral said his information
was positive. His dispatch was not
made public and for obvious reasons
nothing will be given out concerning
how the .news came into his possession
nor about the precautions which de-
feated the German plans and enabled
the flotilla to speed safely through
the mine fields.
SECRECY ESSENTIAL.
Immediate publicity was given the
salient fact, however, the department
making clear that its purpose was to
let the people know of the activity and
success of Teuton spies and to empha-
size the necessity for absolute secrecy
in connection with naval operations or
shipping movements.
The destroyers now aiding: in the
hunt for submarines in European wa-
ters under the direction of Admiral
Sims put into port at Queenstown May
16. How long .they were in crossing
the Atlantic or from what port they
sailed never has been announced and
until word of their arrival came by
cable only a few people in.the United
States even knew of the government’s
decision to send warships to Europe.
No official would comment last night
on the possible means by which the
news was conveyed to Germany. If it
did not go from a secret wireless plant
it must have been carried in some dis-
patch that the allied cable censors
passed as innocent.
The result will be to redouble the
vigilance of the censors and of every
agency of the government engaged in
rooting out the spy system. Every
German known to have been connected
with the espionage work of his gov-
ernment already is under arrest or
under surveillance. Other arrests may
follow at any time, and now that the
country is at war and the revelations
of its secrets may mean death to its
sailors and soldiers, swift punishment
undoubtedly will be dealt out to con-
victed spies. •

Fort Worth, Tex., May 26.—San An-
tonio was selected as the 1918 meeting
place of the Texas State Federation Of
Labor after a hard fought campaign
between Beaumont, Galveston and the
Alamo city. Edward Cunningham of
Bridgeport was re-elected president by
acclamation, the entire support of the
delegates being given for his re-elec-
tion.
W. J. Moran of El Paso was elected
first vice president by acclamation,
succeeding Mrs. Della Davis of Fort
Worth, who had held the office for-
merly. -
Miss Myrtle Berry of Dallas was
elected second vice president by ac-
clamation. •
Other officers elected were George H.
Slater of Galveston, secretary-treas-
urer: E. A. Harrell of Waco, reading
clerk; H. L. Spencer of Houston, dele-
gate to the American Federation of
Labor convention in Boston.
V. Woods of Fort Worth was elected
sergeant at arms.
After a deadlock of nearly five
hours over the report of the constitu-
tion and by-laws committee the meas-
ure was steam rollered and the report
was deferred indefinitely. The amend-
ments to the constitution as • recom-
mended by the committee, brought
about the. most serious dissention in
the ranks' of organized labor for sev-
eral years.
Starting Friday morning about 9
o’clock the amendments were put
through a series of motions, the ma-
jority of the convention having but a
few votes short of the two-thirds ma-
jority necessary, while the minority
refused to give up the fight and con-
tinued to fight the efforts of the
larger number of members. The dead-
lock continued until late in> the after-
noon, when a motion to defer the re-
port of the committee indefinitely was
carried by a majority.
