TALKS TO LOCAL CLUB
ON PROBLEMS AFTER WAR

The problems which will confront the
United States from commercial and
Industrial standpoint, when the war in
address delivered by Frank A. Wander
lip, president of the National City Bank
of New York, before the Commercial
Club this afternoon.
Mr.. Vanderlip predicted that at the
close of the war the nations abroad,
inspired by a new spirit. would enter
upon an era of industrialism that
would make it necessary for this coun-
try to put forth it's every effort in
competition. He said that there is de-
veloping sympathy between govern
ment and business abroad that will
have remarkable results. He urged
the necessity of preparing to meet
these changed conditions, once the war
is over.
Mr.. Vanderlip was introduced by Mil
ton Il. Allies. The New York banker
expressed his pleasure at being back
in Washington, where he formerly
made his home
Mr.. Vanderlip said that it was i'm
possible to look into the future at pres
ent and to predict with certainty what
the conditions will be a year from now
He described the immediate prosperity
of this country, declaring it to be re-
markable and astounding. The export
trade of the country, he said, is SO vast
as to be almost incredible. Labor is
employed to the fullest extent and busi-
ness is still further expanding, he said
Bank deposits have gone to unhea rd of
totals.
After picturing this prosperity. Mr..
Vanderlip described what may be ex-
pected from Europe after the close of
the war
Our vast wealth would lead US to
believe that We are really going to in
herit the EARTH" he said. But there
is another side to the picture. There
has been the birth of great spirit in
Europe. as a result of the terrific
struggle. regeneration of industry.
Trade union rules have been swept
away There has been an astounding
production. The women. who have TAX
en- the place of men in the factories, are
producing more per woman than the
men used to produce. There is devel-
oping a sympathy between government
and business that will make us sit up.
After the war these nations will put
business OF basis that will try our
mettIe."
Mr.. Fanderlip then pointed out that
in this country we have built up trade
unionism and wages have been raised.
He referred to Presicen. Wilson's mes
sage to Congress that society has die
tated an eight-hour day. These are
matters, he said, which must be given
consideration in viewing the future
and the competition which this country
must enter when Europe is at peace.

establish additional credits in Ameri-

MORE WHEAT AND
MORE PEANUTS
T. n. ROYAL FINDS WHEAT CHEAP
Err TO PRODUCE THAN CORN.

*
r. A. Royal, citizen OF near Arab
ana one of tie most prominent and
progressive farmers in the county, has
always believed in safety first" in
promoting his farming interests. In
other words. Mr.. Royal has always
found it safe to raise enough food sup
plies for his family and farm and plen-
ty of feedstulf for his stock and cattle.
A visitor to his farm will always find
fat hogs, sleek stock and cattle, plenty
of chickens, and all things else that
go. to make living on the farm real liv-
ing. While he grows cotton and is a
good cotton farmer and by no means
discounts the value Of raising cotton,
he doesn't raise cotton only.
Nor does he confine his grain crops
to corn especially. With him the pro-
duction Of wheat is just as important,
and he always has plenty of flour for
home consumption. Mr. Royal states
that for money crop wheat has an adj
vantage over corn. II is less expense
and causes less care to produce, and
he says that more bushels can be
produced to the acre, while the sell
ing price of wheat is above that of
of corn He will double and perhaps
tribe his next wheat crop and will
have large quantity for the home
supply. He also expects to plant a
large acreage in peanuts and grow
This crop for commercial purposes. He
Believes that the construction of pea
nut oil mills throughout the country
and the increased consumption Of the
FINISHED products from peanut oils
have tendency to send the price OF
peanuts up another year and continue
causing an incline from year to year.

VILLA BECOMES ACTIVE
AGAIN AT CHIHUAHUA

Washington, Oct. .27.-Villistas' ac-
tivity near Chihuahua had the effect
today of convincing officials here
that no thought should be given soon
to removal of guardsmen from border
patrol duty or withdrawal Of Gen.
Pershings column from Mexico.
Fear was felt that if Villa should
succeed in his apparent movement 10
capture chihuahua, he might find it
easy to get control later of nearly all
Northern Mexico. The entire Mexican
situation was regarded as more Seri-
Gus than for many months.
Conditions at chihuahua were the
subject of greatly conflicting reports.
Mexican Ambassador Arrendondo re-
ceived from Consul Garcia, at Ell
Paso, denial of Gen. Trevino Car
rama commander at Chihuahua, that
he was short of ammunition or in
tended To evacuate the city. Carranza
losses in the fight with Villstas at
Santa Ysabel had been slight, he said,
and 5000 troops had arrived to rein
force the garrison.
War department reports, however,
were that Villa was encamped five
miles from Chihuahua with con-
siderable force after having defeated
Carranza forces severely, and that
Trevino was ready to abandon the
city.
