Washington, CspeciaD-Let no man
be dismayed by the fantastic prediction
that Simmons will be made chairman
Of the finance committee. Campaign
prophecy.
By unanimous vote the Democratic
senate in caucus this afternoon elected
Senator Furnifold McLendon Simmons
as chairman of the senate finance COM
mittee, the most powerful committee
in the upper body Of congress. From
the time former Senator Bailey an
nounced that he would not again be q
candidate for the United States senate
your correspondent has believed and
commended that the senior North Caro-
lima senator would fall heir to the fin
ance committee Craftsmanship. There
has never been reason to doubt that
this first prediction would come true.
Some of the same influences that work

and during the last campaign attempt

lukewarm support of two young and
ambitious senators. When the time
came for vote even these two men
voted for Senator Simmons.

broadcast from Washington that there
was great opposition to Mr.. Simmons
and that he would be defeated. ALI OF
these stories have been inspired. A
careful canvass of the situation de-
veloped the fact that no opposition OF
consequence was made against Mr..
Simmons, and today's result fully sus-

upper branch Of congress. Soon after
the result was announced today Sen

Farmers believe every word In the
big catalog Of the mail order house
according to ALBERT, &. Loeb, vice

contributing to the success Of the mail

When Mr.. Loeb told how the farmers
gulp down what is printed in the mail

preston was much like the vender of

three or four dozen bottles OF colored

"Why? Simply because the farmers

SHEEPMEN SAY FREE
WOOL DISASTROUS

Democratic Policy condemned
and prediction of crash is freely
made.
Range conditions are somewhat
discouraging and the losses may
be heavy.
According to statements made
recently by Deputy Assessor E.
w. Stephens of Prescott; who
lately made trip over the San
ia Fe Pacific railroad, many wool
growers express themselves in
a pronounced and hostile manner
over the proposed placing of wool
on the free list by congress.
In many cases the sheepmen
see a return of the crash that
was in evidence in the reduction
of the tariff on that product in
1893, when the Wilson bill had
its wild sweep under Cleveland's S
administration. Several arr
alarmed and await the inevitable
with a feeling that some duty
must be laid on that article or
else the years of industry and in
vestment of large sums of capt.
tai must again vanish and go in
to history as another political
problem unwisely considered.
Mr.. Stephens says that range
conditions are not improved over
last year, the cold weather con-
tinuing, and feed is light. Many
range men report heavier losses.

from the State Livestock Sani-

Commissioners courts of the

ton of a county.
All counties west and north of

law. 1t was created to give the
sanitary commissioners power to
make the different cattlemen of
east of the quarantine line get
busy, and now when a majority
vote to have a cleaning up the

100000 LESS CATTLE;
SALES $l,666 MINUTE

Eat more mutton and less beef,
Swift & Company warn.
Stop the useless and wholly in
defensible slaughter of calves
and raise more cattle on the
FARMS" is the warning to Chica-
goans from Swift & Company in
the year book for 1918, just pub
lished,
The book says that while the
population Of the country has in
creased over $4,000, ,000 in ten
years the number of cattle has
decreased by $500, 900. Cattle
brought to market were 500, 600
less in,1912 than 1911.
From this is evident, says
the book, that the consumer, if
he does NOT wish meat values to
mount still higher, must advocate
increased production in cattle.
Nationwide laws against the
slaughter of calves are needed to
save the situation.
The sales of the corporation
amounted to $1,666 a minute for
every 10-hour working day of
the year. But it is pointed out
that the packs profit was only
one-fifth of a cent a pound.

TURTLE MEAT IS
USED BY MEXICANS

In discussing the Friedman
cure with several prominent
Mexicans this morning, one of
them recalled that about three
months ago he was approached
by a young man whose name he
recalls as being Jose Lampasas,
miner by trade, who had asked
him for funds to carry him to the
coast where he intended to eat
turtles which was guaranteed to
cure his consumption. A number
of MeXicans kept the young man,
having taken pity on him, he be-
ing so young and of evidently
good family. Lampasas remained
in the city for about three weeks
when he suddenly disappeared.
Before leaving, however, he had
told some of his aquaintances
that he was going to Guaymas to
eat turtles and that he intended
to return to Douglas in six months
entirely cured.
1t will be recalled that not more
than three weeks ago Pencho Gar
cia, former governor at Guaymas,
left for the Tiburon Islands on a
similar mission. Garcia was in
advanced stages of consumption,
but such faith had he in the eff
cacy of turtles that he intended
to be cured in three months. It
is said that one scarcely hears of
consumption around the Tiburon
Island because the inhabitants
eat turtles, which are said to be
the best preventative against the
disease. There has been a super
stition among the Mexicans, how
ever, for man! centuries that
turtle meat is panacea for all ills.
l.. G. Lellevier, editor of the
Douglas Industrial, the Spanish
newspaper in Douglas, recalls
that some few years ago while in
San Frncisco he knew a man,
Jose Morago by name, a wealthy
mining man with large real estate
interests in San Francisco, who
sold out all his property there
and went to live in Southern Cali
fornia to cure his consumption.
The man intended to eat turtles.
Mr.. Lellevie said that six months
later he Saw Morago on the
streets of San Francisco looking
hale and hearty, entirely cured
from the ravages of the white
plague. Arizona Democrat.
