CROSS SAFELY TO FRANCE
MORE AMERICAN SOLDIERS
Government Announces Their Safe Ar-
rival, and Claim Ail States Are Rep-
resented in Guard Units.'
With the American Army in France.
National guardsmen from every State
in the Union have arrived in France,
it has been permitt4d to be announced.
They are among the troops now train-
ing or lately arrived.
; While it is not permitted to disclose
the identity of units, it may be said
lhat all those which sailed from the
United States have arrived safely and
that some already are in training with-
in sound of the guns on the battle
front ,
They are showing a spirit in keep-
ing t with the purpose of all concerned
to make the American expeditionary
force a homogeneous American army
in which each division, whether regu-
lar, national guard or national army,
c&n not be distinguished in efficiency
from the others. The former state
troops are billetted over a wide area
and pre pronounced excellent soldiers.
The guardsmen have been arriving
In the American zone for some weeks.
They are scattered somewhat but as
far as possible the units from the same
state have been kept close together,
except in one case. They found the
regular army had made good prepara-
tions for them and, while many are
billeted in houses in French towns,
others have been quartered in low
wooden barracks specially erected.
The troops from the various States
have been recognized by the French
population and have been welcomed
enthusiastically. Many of the units
on arriving in billet towns wore the
French red, white and blue cockade
pinned to*their campaign hats. These
were given to the soldiers when they
landed at base ports. After a suf-
ficient time to rest from the journey,
which in some cases has been extreme-
ly tiresome, the troops have been set
to work training for actual service at
the front. In all quarters they are de-
clared to be most enthusiastic, and
their soldierly qualities have drawn
high praise from the French instruc-
tors.
During the last few days one unit
has been working with grenades and
automatic rifles, while another has
been working out military problems
in maneuvers. Another unit has been
In the instruction trenches, which
brings them as near as possible to ac-
tual fighting conditions. Many of the
former guardsmen in training have
heard guns roaring in the distance.
They are all being given the same
course of instruction the first contin-
gent of regulars have undergone.
The guardsmen are all in good
health. The reason why it is not per-
mitted to mention units by name is
that if one is mentioned the way is
open to mention all others, which
means the revealing of identification
numbers and other Information which
is of importance to the enemy.
But for the information of the rela-
tives and families of the men, every-
one who sailed from the United States
has arrived safely in France.
Cattle Peed Trains Given Preference.
San Antonio, Tex.—Robert S. Lovett
of the American Association of Rail-
ways of the National Council of De-
fense advised J. F. Carl, secretary of
the Texas State Council of Defense,
Friday that all shipments of feed to
the drouth-stricken sections of Texas
will be given right of way over all rail-
roads, taking precedence even over
passenger trains. The message was in
reply to one sent to Washington based
upon the assertion of home cattle rais-
er* that a shortage of cars was delay-
ing shipments of cotton seed meal and
other feed for starving cattle and other
lite stock.

German Atrocities in Italy.
Washington.—All the oppressive
measures which characterized the Ger-
man Invasion of Belgium and many
acts of barbarism which revolted the
civilized 'World, dispatches from Rome
this week says, are now being prac-
ticed by the Austro-German invaders

the Members Express Willingness to
Be Guided by President's Ideas
in War.
Washington.—The second session of
the sixty-fifth congress began Monday
at noon with brief routine sessions
marked by the receipt of appropriation
estimates for next year's war and or-
dinary expenses aggregating the vast
sum of $18,500,000,000. )
Little business this week is planned
by senate and house leaders, as the
leaders and committee chairmen want
an opportunity to confer and discuss
procedure.
A spirit of confidence apparently
pervades congress. Returning mem-
bers exchanged views with declara-
tions of inoreased determination to
lend every aid in vigorous conduct oi
the war. The leaders predicted that
legislation would be confined largely
to war measures, as the president is
understood to desire.
Estimates of more than $13,500,000,-
000—the greatest in the nation's his-
toay—for the conduct of the govern-
ment and prosecution of the war dur-
ing the fiscal year 1919, were submit-
ted to congress Monday by the treas-
ury department.
In round figures, more than $11,000,-
000,000 of that vast sum is for the war
ak>ne. Only part of it will be realized
from taxation; the remainder will
come from issues of liberty bonds.
Deducting an item of $153,000,000,
intended as an annual appropriation
toward a sinking fund for the dis-
charge of the old public debt, and
some $330,4)00,000 which will be turn-
ed back to the treasury from postal
revenues, the estimated sum for which
congress actually is expected to appro-
priate is $13,018,725,595. No previous
estimate ever has exceeded two bil-
lions.
Here follows a general statement of
the estimates by general headings:
Legislative, $8,026,325.
Executive, $65,325,369.
Judicial, $1,396,190.
Agriculture, $26,458,551.

COTTON SEED CRUSHERS
MAKE CUT IN PRICE
Fix Price on Cotton Seed Meal and
Cake Which Means Reduction of
$5 Per Ton for Mills.
New Orleans, La.—With the view
primarily of relieving* the drouth-
stricken sections of Texas and Okla-
homa, where cattle are suffering for
feed, but at the same time made to
apply generally, the cotton seed crush-
ers of Louisiana and Mississippi met
Saturday in joint conference, under
call of ^ohn M. Parker, food adminis-
trator for Louisiana, and P. M. Hard-
ing of Vicksburg, food administrator
for Mississippi, and unanimously
adopted resolutions fixing the price of
36 per cent cotton seed meal and cake
at $46.50 per ton, which will mean a
reduction in price of around $4 to $5
per ton for the Louisiana and Missis-
sippi mills, as it did in Texas.
This whole action followed similar
action by Texas crushers, who fixed
the price at $53.50 for 43 per cent
meal and cake, sacked, and protein per
cent running higher in Texas meal.
Informal protest was entered against
alleged practices of Texas cotton seed
mills in invading Western Louisiana
territory.
Features of the formal resolution,
which was wired to Washington, fol-
low:
Resolved, That unanimous approval
is hereby given to Mr. Hoover's sug-
gestion and request that the maximum
price on cake1 and meal in Louisiana
and Mississippi should not exceed
$53.50, sacked, for 43 per cent protein
meal and cake, or $43.50 for 38 per
cent protein meal and cake, or $46.50
for 36 per cent protein meal and cake,

PRODUCTION RECORD OF
AMERICAN FARMERS
Produce a Gross Total of $21,000,000,-
000 Worth of Farm Products, Which
Equals Year's War Cost
Washington. — Thanksgiving Day
found America's horn of plenty with
new high record fullness.
Responding to President Wilson's
appeal and the needs of a war-torn
wortd, American farmers produced a
gross total of $$1,000,000,000 worth of
farm products, equaling in value the
nation's total expenditure in one year
of war.
That total, being the value of all
crops, animals and animal products. Is
$6,600,000,000 greater than last year's
and more than the combined value of
any two previous years. There were
record crops of corn, oats, rye, white
and sweet potatoes, tobacco and bean*.
The principal farm crops will reaeh
more than $12,000,000,000 in value,
minor crops $2,500,000,000, and ani-
mals and animal products,' Including
butter. cheese and eggs, about $6,500,-
•000,000. This year's values are based
on preliminary production estimates
and prioes paid to producers Novem-
ber 1, as reported by the department
of agriculture. An official estimate of
the principal. farm crop values will be
made by the bureau of crop estimates
:on Deoember 11.
Corn, the country's greatest crop,
accounts for about one-third of the in-
i creased total farm products value of
this year. It is estimated at about
'$4,656,000,000, as compared with $2,-
296,000,000 last year, $1,723,000,000 in
1915 and'$1,577,000,000, the average for
five years, 1910-14. In point of quan-
tity, corn this year saw its largest pro-
duction, being 66,000,000 bushels more
than the 1812 record crop,, 608,000,000
bushels more than last year and 459,-
•000,000 bushels more than the 1910-14
five-year average.
Next in point of value comes cotton,
with a crop valued at about $1,981,000,-
000, accounting for more than pne-
tenth of the year's total value increase.
Of that amount $1,645,000,000 is esti-
mated for Hnt and $336,000,000 for
seed. Cotton lint last year was valued
at $1,080,000,000 and seed at $278,000,-
000, while the five-yeat (1910-14) aver-
age value was: Lint, $715,000,000;
seed, $128,000,000. Production this
year Is about 600,000 bales larger than
last year and 2,840,000 bales smaller
than the 1910-14 five-year average.
Hay is the next most valuable crop,
with a total of $1,390,000,000, compared
with $1,162,000,000 last year and $1,-
056,000,000 in 1915.
Wheat the fourth crop in point of
value, is worth more than $1,000,000,'
000, for the second time in American
'farming history. Its value is estimated
at $1,320,000,000, compared with $1,-
025,000,000 last year, $943,303,000 in
;1915 and $629,939,00, the average value
of 1910-14 crops.
A. AND M. WINS OHAMPIONSHIP.
Houston, Tex.—Texas A. and M. won
the state football championship in
Houston Thursday before a crowd of
approximately 10,000 people. The Rice
Owls went down before the powerful
attack of the Farmers' backfield for a
10-0 defeat
; The day for the championship game
: dawned over Houston giving indica-
tions of a perfect football day. By
noon the sky was as clear as a crystal
and the heel of a slight norther left the
air crisp and cracking. Two special
trains had brought the A. and M. sup-
porters.
The Owls were the first to appear
on the field and when they trotted
across the diamond to their side line,
the Owl students went wild for a mo-
ment, the band struck up the Owl bat-
tie song, "Wildcat," while the rooters
gave the A. and M.< special, "Root-ti-
toot-ti-toot"
The A. and M. stands rose to wel-
oome the red and white players as
they came in. There was the old A.
and M. pep in the challenge, "Farmers
fight," their battle cry.
A. and M. went through the whole
season without a single point being
scored against them. They are the
first claimants to a clear slate title
for years and incidentally have even
ed up the old score against the Owls.
Bach team has won two games and
lost two.
No Semi-Military Commissions.
Washington. — So-called "slacker
commissions," by which men of <draft
age seek to escape service in the ranks
and get officers' places in noncombat-
ant branches of the army have ^struck
a snag in two general policies laid
down by Secretary Baker. These are:
First, that no men of draft age be
commissioned unless it is clearly
shown that they are better fitted for
the special work to which they are
called than an} civilian beyond the
draft age whose services oah be se-
cured; and, second, that no function
of the army that can be carried on ef-
ficiently with civilians shall be placed
on a military footing by commission-
ing the men needed to supervise the
work.
Rice Held for Lack of Cars.
Beaumont, Tex.—More than 400 car-
loads of rough rice, amounting to over
150,000 bags, is being held in ware-
houses in Arkansas because of the in-
ability of the farmers to secure cars
for delivery.
Sixty-Three of Aeteon Crew Missing.

Sir William MacGregor, G. G. M. G.,
Is a man of, Herculean strength—In-
deed, "until he took part some years
ago in the rescue of some Indian
coolies from a shipwrecked vessel, he
stated that he had not previously real-
ized the value of his great strength,
says a correspondent
• A broken mast was the only connec-
tion with the stranded vessel, and over
this, again and again, Sir William
clambered with a man or woman on
his back, and more often than not a
child also between his teeth, held by
the clothes. , .
On a reef below was a woman, who
had fallen overboard, having got at
the ship's spirits and become, mad
drunk. Two men who went after her
were in the aet of being swept out
to sea, when Sir William slid down a
rope, seized the woman's hair between
his teeth, grasped the two men and
brought all three to a place of Safety.
For this he received the Albert Gold
Medal from Queen Victoria, and the
Clark Gold Medal from Australia.
Lived in Land of the Ukutele.

queen."
"Well, it doesn't matter about the
name. She lived In the land of the
ukuleles."—Indianapolis News.
