Il begins to look like II the Euro
pean war does not end pretty quick
so the men at the front can 90 to
work and produce food for themselves
and those dependent upon them, the
whole world will starye 10 death. Al
ready all European countries are be-
ing reduced to extremities and there
Is suffering In many places. The
United States is beginning to feel the
pinch. and as our supply becomes
shorter under heavy expectations
prices will naturally go higher and
the pinch will become greater It has
been the boast for many years th2t
the United States could feed the
world. We might do It, but the pres
ent war has shown MS In six months
time that we must produce a great
deal more food than we have ever
produced before II we are to half way
feed Il. The logic Of the whole situa-
ton. however, is that the farmer who
turns his attention to food production,
is the one who will reap the rich
profits made possible by the present
international crisis.

AUSTIN. Tex, Jan. PA probe by
Joint legislative committee of cleo

years in Texas will be proposed by
Representative Leweliing OF Dallas,
who says he has already prepared a
bill to that effect The resolution, its
author admits, is far-reaching and
calls for a thorough investigation Of
money spent in the interest Of various
State candidates; methods employed
by liquor interests and corporations,
etc. It is understood the Attorney
Generals Department is now exam
ing the proposed bill.

AUSTIN, Tex, Jan. 27.-There is
little chance of the passage at the
present session of the Legislature OF
the proposed two-cent passenger
fare law, according to indications at
this time. Members of the Commit
tee on Common Carriers, who have
charge of the bill now pending, and
other legislators apparently are not
enthusiastic over the proposition be-
cause. several of them say, even un-
der the three.cent fare Texas rail
roads are not making money, and to
reduce the rate would tend to cripple
service. The railroads are opposing
the measure vigorously.

ceding Year, but Shows Sub
StantiaI Business.

Month Last Year by ST., sos.
Many New Buildings Are Project
ed With Opening OF Spring.

The report Of Building Inspector
John L. Butler for the year 1914, is
sued last night, shows that the total
OF building operations for this city was
$3.3Sl.bil. as compared with $3,636,416
for the year 1913
Building operations have felt the de-
preston Of business caused by the clos
period of the fall, and the resulting
uneasiness which followed In the wake
or the European war. Business is re-
gaining Its normal condition, and the
building operations for, the month Of
December indicate that there will be a
marked improvement during the early
part OF this year. Real estate and
building are partners in business, and
generally where one Is dull, the other
follows the same course.
BUILDING PERMITS FOR
DECEMBER SHOW INCREASE
Operations for the month of Deem
Der were s212.5o2, showing an increase
OF S41.ooS over the same month In

work. $461,334, making total of So
39l'57l, n decrease of s234,905 from the
year 1913. The decrease is not looked
upon as indicating that Richmond Is
falling behind in building operations

try are showing like decrease in
work, and most Of them to n more
marked extent
The prospects for the year are bright,
and with the opening OF favorable
weather for building number OF new
structures will be begun. A large
apartment house Is projected to be
erected at the corner of Fifth and
Grace Streets. the plans for which have
already been prepared. It Is UNDER
stood that the bids are now being

struction work will be started shortly.
The architect estimates that this build
