WHEAT Is SEIZED FOR
USE OF ALLIED Armies
REVISED ESTIMATE PLACES THE
AMOUNT AT 2o,ooo,ooo
BUSHELS.

Ottawa.-The Canadian government
has commandeered all high-grade
wheat In elevators from Fort William,
on Lake Superior, to the Atlantic
coast
The action was taken by the Ca
madam Grain Commission under the
special war act. The wheat selzed
was OF grades l hard and l, and 8
northern 1t was the property of grain
shippers and millers. That taken is
all which was in public elevators at
Fort Williams, Port Arthur, Midland
Tifiin, Port McNicholl, Collingwood,
Goderich, Kingston, Port Colborne,
Prescott, Quebec, st. John, Montreal
and Halifax
A revised estimate places the
amount at 20,OOO,OOO bushels. A con-
siderable amount is the property OF
American grain dealers.
The grain was taken so that grain
exchanges should be affected as little
as possible. 1t is stated officially that
the price will be fairly adjusted and
the grain owners promptly paid by
the Canadian government 1t is esti-
mated that there still is in Canada in
the hands Of the farmers and dealers
west of Fort William $50, 100000 bush
els surplus of wheat available for ex-
port. 1t is expected that most of this
will be taken in the future for the use
of Great Britain, France and Italy.
The domestic. supply of Russia is more
than sufficient to meet the needs Of
that country.
Had the Dardanelles been forced,
the surplus of Russian wheat would
have made the present action unneC-
essary. While the wheat just taken
was commandeered to fill an order
from the British government for a
large quantity Of wheat, it is under
stood most Of it will be shipped to
Italy.
The Canadian government will look
after the transportation of the grain
to the Atlantic seaboarI and from
there its shipment across the Allan,
tic will be undertaken by the British
government in the same way that
shipments of oats and hay have been
handled for the past year.

ONE GOOD TRAIT RECALLED
Unpopular Man Not Altogether With
out the Attributes That En-
deared Him to Society.

An Indiana town in the old days
boasted of two characters-an official
mean man who never did a good deed
If it was possible to do mean one.
and an official optimist who had never
been heard to speak an evil word of
any human
In the fullness OF time the bad NAN
died. On the day OF the funeral the
usual crowd gathered at the post Of.
fee to await the distribution of mail
Naturally the life and works of ths
late unlamented came under discus
cion.
The deceased was painted as .
miser, a liar, a thief, scandal
monger and a backmailer. The op
timist who was present, listened In
silence. At length one of the group
turned on him.
Say, Gid" demanded the other man,
"ain't everything we've said about that
old scoundrel the truth? Kin you
name one deservin' trait he ever
showed?'
We'll" said the optimist, you
boysll have to admit he certainly had
mighty good appetite. ."-Saturd

MEXICANS SOLDIERS
FIRE ON u. s. TROOPS
ONE DEAD, TWO NOT EXPECTED
TO LlVE-CAVALRY CHARGES
THE VILLA TROOPS.

Nogales, Ariz.-Three United States
soldiers were wounded and 20 MeXl-
cans were reported killed in border
skirmish here One of the Americans
is dead and two are not expected to
live.
The fight started when drunken
Villa straggler in Nogales, Sonora,
snatched his rifle from a woman with
whom he was quarreling and opened
fire on the border patrol. This seem
ed to be a signal for snipers.
Carranza troops held the town,
flushed with victory over the Villa
forces a few miles south. Advancing
Carranza cavalry, chasing the last OF
the fleeing Villa troops, came under
fire of United States soldiers and re-
turned it, but the error was discovered
before anyone was hurt. Gen. Alyaro
Obregon came into town with the
troops and exchanged apologies with
Col. Sage over the mistake. He set a
squad to work destroying what liquor
the Villa forces left behind, and an
nounced that order would be main
tanned.
A Carranza courier sent to apprise
Col w. H. Sage, commanding he
American troops Of the defeat and
fight of the Villa forces was shot off
his horse. He was brought to the
American side Of the line. The firing
across the border began shortly be-
fore noon. At this time Villa troops,
who, with their chieftain, had evacuat-
ed the town early, were hotly engaged
by the Obregon forces II miles south
Of Nogales, Sonora.
The Mexican town had been looted
and shooting, which began earlier,
sent a shower Of bullets to the Ameri-
can side. The crowds which had gath
cred in the street leading to Nogales,
Sonora, were hurled back by United
States soldiers.
Then party OF snlpers opened nre
on the American town. Col. Sage had
given orders that the American
troops should return any fire that en-
dangered American lives. Infantry
men stationed near the line opened on
the snipers when given the order to
fire A number Of the MeXicans were
seen to fall.
A detachment of Villa cavalry, eyi-
IDENTIFY a portion Of the force engaged
south of the city, then was seen dash
ing over the hills southwest or No
gales, Sonora. They were shooting
and lodging and seeking cover. The
American soldiers replied to their fire,
shooting deliberately and apparently
with sufficient effect to halt the Mexi.
cans.

Power to Grant Permits.

Little Rock
Efforts OF department and mercan-
tile store owners and managers to
have special permits issued by the
Minimum Wage Commission to permit
women employees to work longer than
nine hours per day during the Christ
mas holiday season was consid
cred by the commission, according to
Commissioner OF Labor Clary, the
chairman. The minimum wage law
provides that women may not be en-
ployed longer than nine hours, except
in special cases, where permission is
granted by the commission. Accord
ing to Mr.. Clary this clause was In
tended to cover the canning industry
where vegetables and fruit must b.
canned to be kept from wasting, AM
where the work is piecework.
81 am unalterably opposed to
granting any permits for shopgirls T
work longer than nine hours during
the holiday season." Mr.. Clary sale
81 feel sure the commission will take
the same attitude. The girls work
hard enough during the Christmas
rush without being forced to work
more than nine hours"

A date for the Democratic State
Convention and apportionment, by
counties, OF delegates 10 the conyen'
tion, will be among the important mat
ters taken up by the Democratic
State Central Committee at its meet
ing here December 9. A call for the
meeting was issued by Judge A. j.
Walls, United States marshal and
chairman OF the committee. The date
was decided upon at a conference be.
tween Mr.. Walls and j. S. Maloney
secretary OF the committee.
II is reported that several Demo
cratic state and district ofiice-holder'
who expect to be candidates in the
coming election may find trouble get
ting their names on the tickets for
their failure TO pay an assessment
levied by the committee. The COM
mittee's rules provide that every Dem
coratic State and district officeholder,
including State officials, clerks in the
employ OF the State and district Off
cials, shall pay an assessment of 2
per cent of their first years salary
Many have failed to pay the assess
ment.
Section "a of the rules Of the COM
mittee provides as follows: ANY eli
gible Democrat as defined by these
rules is entitled to enter the race for
any office and to have his name print
ed on the ticket, as provided by these
rules; provided, he shall have paid
any assessment levied against him by
the proper committee" The commit
tee may not enforce the rule, but
should it do so several present candi-
daes would find themselves against
the proposition of paying delinquent
assessments or getting out of their
respective races.
