fixed in a bulletin OF the Texas Asri-

horse farm as a unit, supporting a
family of five persons. The farm is
divided into two parts. twenty acres

to be four pigs. fifty laying hens. and
two milch cows, as well as an acre

such far mis- analyzed in an article
in the News Letter of April 21 (vol.
III. No. ST). With cotton at eight
cents the farmer receives in food and
cash s6647s. as against $3.50 for an
all cotton farm. With cotton at ten
cents he gets ssss.Os. as against an
all cotton income OF $500.
But what is even more important
than the increased return is the in
creased security. Failure with his
cotton does not drive the farmer 10

indebtedness. He can still feed his
family and pull through a hard year
without mortgaging his future.

 WAR OF EXHAUSTION
Republican A. p. Leased w,re1

LONDON, Nov. 26.-Maximilian Harden, editor of DIE ZUKUNF"T, of Berlin, in the latest issue of his news paper received here, tells his country men that they must expect war of exhaustion. He ridicules the German talk about Swedish intervention and the idea that Russia will conclude a separate peace. He says he considers it no signs Of strength that the German government steadily refuses to disclose its war aims" and planes the gov ernmeEt for making "too much noise' about food regulations.
 Herr Harden says the soil of Ger many is free and her armies are every where in enemy territory, but that none of her enemies has been dis armed, that none of them seems near collapse and that the mightiest of them, Great Britain, cannot honestly be said to be even seriously wounded All of them, he says, believe public and sincerely that they will be victorious and they are absolutely determined to secure victory by all possible means. Herr Harden points out that Russia is farther than ever from that decline which we, in our madness, so eagerly believed" and says it is folly to sup pose that any of the entente allies are ready to conclude a peace

DREADkAUGHTS TO BE GREATEST
 ON THE SEAS
IRepublloan A. p. Leased wlrel

WASHINGTON, Nov. 25.-The two new dreadnaughts authorized by con- gress, bids for which have been let by the navy department, will represent the last word in naval architecture
 Since the war has brought no ves- sels of this class into conflict, no radi- cal departure in construction is planned as no definite lessons have been learned. The greatest difference between the two new ships, Nos. 43 and 44-until names for them are chosen and their immediate predecessors now building, will lie in additional hull pro- tection against torpedo attack. The nature of those safeguards has iot been revealed except to bidders but they are generally understood to con- sist of greater subdivision and strengthened bullxheads to keep the ships afloat even with holes torn in their bottom.
 In size the new ships will equal the California, now under construction at the New York navy yard. They will displace 32,000 tons, measure 625 feet in length overall, 97 feet eight inches beam and draw 30 feet of water. They will have a speed of 201a knots an hour. and will be driven by turbine engines since the navy department probably will not build more ships of combined steam and electric drive, as in the Cal- ifornia, until that vessal has proved her worth. They will carry a dozen I4-inch rifles, each in their main bat tery, mounted three to a turret and with 90 degree elevation, twenty two 5-inch rifles for defense against de- stroyers, four submerged torpedo tubes and three anti-aircraft guns to repell aeroplanes and dirigibles.
 The steady increase in size of battle ships is shown by a comparison of the new vessels with the Nevada, the lat est addition to the navy. They will tisplace 2,5OO tons more than the Ne vada, show an increased length of 50 feet and a few feet additional breadtis and will mount tw elve big guns against the Nevada's ten.
 In appearance the new ships will show Q marked departure from vessels of their type now in commission as they will be constructed with long overhanging bows, known as clipper stems, patterned after swift sailing ships of days gone by. The result, ir the opinion of navy designers, will be to give the battlecraft greater freedom from pitching in heavy seas.

Texas is concerned, the plain truth is, as usual. simple.
 'The railroads revenues. limited by federal and state agencies. have not kept pace with the increases in it's expenditures.
 Increases in gross earnings have been more than swallowed up by in creasing wages to employees, increas- ing taxes and increasing expendi- lures, enforced by impracticable reg ulatory policies that have not bene- fitted the public.
 So long as the public does not discharge it's duty to see to it that the regulating authorities give the railroads fair treatment, the public should expect to assume a large share of responsibility for railroad bankruptcy
