whole of which sum has long since

under discussion, but the tax on war

ARGENTINE CORN IS

Many Millions of Bushels Have
Come Into Country Under
Democratic Tariff.
is NOT GENERALLY KNOWN

The dumping Of l0oo,ooo bushels
of Argentine corn into Peoria, the
center OF the grain growing section OF
the United States, has created con-
stetnation among the democratic sup
porters, The shipment has SO glar-
ingly called attention to the compe-
tition to which the American farmer
is subjected under the Underwood
tariff law that the democratic CAM
paign management has resorted to
the argument of denying the story al
together or of disappearing con-
ditionS. -s,
The following from the Peoria Star
tells its own story; '.
TN public speech the other night
Congressman c. U. Stone Of this dis
trist made the following declarations
concerning the shipments of Argen
tine corn into the United States:
ooh, there were several shipments
two years ago. small quantities OF this
corn were put up in one and two
pound sacks and sent throughout the
corn belt for the use of republican
politicians
Twenty Million Bushels.
Congressman Stone is not well in
formed, or if he is well informed
more serious charge must be brought
against him. For the official figures
show that in the latter part of 1918
and early in 1914 the period referred
to by the congressman, that there
were imported into the United States
2O826,000 bushels OF Argentine corn
and it began coming in soon after the
passage of the democratic tariff and
knocked down the price in Chicago
in January, 1914, to as low as 90 cents
a bushel for No. 2 corn. And in Feb
ruary, 1914, the price went as low as
61 cents for No. 2 corn and in March
of that year the price was as low as
63 cents for No. ? corn.
This was in the face of the fact
that the corn crop for 1918 in the
United States was very light one,

FL Paso. Tex, Nov. villa ban
dts again are cutting the ears from
captured Carranza soldiers and then
sending them back to their commands
as a warning to other Carranza SOL
derS, said a Mexican civilian refugee
who reached here today from Jiminez,
Chihuahua He came to FL Paso by
way Of Torreon, Coahuila, and from
there to Eagle Pass, Tex, as the Mex
lean Central railroad was cut between
Jiminez and chihuahua City.
He claimed to have seen sixteen
Carranza soldiers at Jimincz with
their ears severed from their heads
He said the sight was revolving, as
the ears had been cut off with dull in
struments, and in many instances the
skin on the face had been mutilated
and the wounds had ecome infected
and the soldiers were suffering great
agony.
The refugees said they had been told
by one of the soldiers that a total Of
eighty-three Carranza soldiers had had
their ears cut off by Villa bandits at
Santa Rosalia. These sixteen soldiers,
he said, had reached Jiminez from
Santa Rosalia, on their way to Tor
reon, and they reported that Villa
bandits had looted Santa Rosalia and
had impressed many citizens of that
town.
FL Paso, Tex, Nov. 3.-Passengers
arriving from Chihuahua City on the
delayed passenger train late last night
brought additional details of the rob-
berry of the Mexican Central passen-
ger train which left Juarez Monday.
They said three passengers were shot
by the bandits when they fired into
the passenger train, one being a Mex
lean woman 1t was not known
whether they were killed. The con-
ductor who was shot was Carlos
Paris, whose father is an American.
He was shot in the hip by the bandits
when he attempted to replace a rail
which had been removed by the ban
dts to wreck the passenger train. The
engine and tender were derailed, the
passengers stated, but the coaches did
not leave the rails,
These passengers brought report
that the Carranza guards made a fight
when they saw the Villa bandits and
eight OF them succeeded in escaping,
the remaining twenty-nine, including
Captain Guzman, being shot The
passengers stated, however, that there
was a report in Chihuanaa City that
number of Carranza guards had
joined the Villa bandits, though the
official report stated all had been ex-
ecuted. The passengers confirmed the
report that the passengers, both men
and women, were robbed of their
clothing. They said the passengers
were obliged to wear blankets and
even newspapers into chihuahua City

Dutch ShipbuiIders Hard
Hit bv Export Restrictions

Correspondence of The Associated Pressl
Amsterdam, Netherlands, Oct. ST.
Dutch shipbuilders and the entire
metal industry have been much dis
quoted by the recent restriction OF
German exports Of iron and steel to
this country. Shipbuilders are already
experiencing a shortage in profile
steel and other essential raw ma
terials, and unless an improvement
soon comes they may, despite their
overloaded books, have to dis
charge part OF their workmen. Apart
.from the big demands made on Ger
man industry by the manufacture of
munitions of war, the latest measure
is ascribed in well-informed quarters
here to desire to hamper shipbuild
ing in Holland now that part of the
Dutch cargo space has been a1uired
by the allies In view of the difficult
ties described, and the anticipated
scarcity OF iron and steel materials,
the industrial commission has ap-
preached the minister of industry and
commerce with a view to the cree
ton of state distribution bureau in
this country, and hope is cherished
that the threatened dangers be ward

Court Prevents Sale of
Bio PhiIippine Shin

Correspondence of The Associated Press.)
Manila, P. l., Oct. l6.-The right of
Philippine ship owners to sell their
vessels without government sanction
is expressly denied in a decision made
by the board of public utility COM
missioners. The board refused the
petition of Ynchausti & Co., local
shipping firm, for permission, to sell
the inter-island. steamer, Governor
Forbes.
The board says that it can see no
reason in law or economic morals
why the firm of Ynchausti & Co.
should be permitted to make the 100
per cent profit which the sale would
mean to them, instead of the annual
80 per cent profit which the vessel is
yielding, at the cost of the welfare
of the people of the Philippines, The
Governor Forbes has been plying be-
tween Manila and Iloilo, the sugar
metropolis, for some years, though
this service has been temporarily sus-
pended for the last few months while
the vessel was on charter to trans
Pacific carriers.
The board does not attempt to pass
upon the legal aspects of its decision,
but confines itself to statement that
the organic act which established the
board of utility commissioners, gives
it power to refuse permission for the
sale of public utility company prop
erty.

naturally without any outside compe-
tition the price should have advanced
instead OF declining.
In a similar manner we imported
mostly from Canada during the lat
ter months of 1918 and early in 1914
22,737,000 bushels of oats, which kept
the price down in this country and
lowered it to a small extent. And this
also in the face of the fact that the
oats crop of 1918 was a short crop,
being only 1,l21,000,000 bushels, and
without any outside competition we
should have had an average of or 10
cents bushel.

THRIFT OF TIME

One Of the most important les
sons any individual, young or old,
can learn is the value of time;
for time is not only money but
can be turned into money if the
habit of thrift attends it's use.
Those who employ labor quickly
realize the Importance Of the
time element in all business tran
sactions, for the labor cost, which
is so vital an element in the cost
of everything, depends upon the
thriftiness of the worker in the
use of his time. The minute
that does not produce something
is not only a wasted minute but
a costly minute to somebody.
Many a man fails because he
cannot get results from labor.
Children should be taught to
regard the time they are not in
school as an opportunity to earn
money. 1t should not be idle
time, or merely play time, for the
child does not need recreation so
much as a change of occupation.
Most of us play too much; and
the child that is taught to turn
the out of school hours into re-
creation that brings returns has
learned one Of life's most helpful
lessons.

The world is full of disgruntled
and dissatisfied individuals who
would be happier and far better
off if they would stop whining
and complaining, and look around
for opportunities to earn extra
money, or spend the spare hours
in preparation for the greater
opportunities that open to the
trained man and woman. The
correspondence schools have done
wonders in training students for
better things, and merit the
thanks of all who are interested
in the improvement of the race.
Thrift of time will make a man
rich beyond his fondest dreams,
and waste of it will make him
poor, however rich he may be,
and the best lesson you can teach
your child yea, the best lesson
you can learn yourself, is to use
the time you are working fol
your boss, or sleeping, or resting
in such way that it will put
dollars in your pocket or brains
in your head. 1t is likely to dc
both.

that the time out of business is

Improvement. It is not what you
do between eight and six that
brings business success, but what
you do from six to eight. Visit
any of the Young Mems Christian
Associations that run study
classes, or the night schools, and
you will find a body of young
men and women who properly
value the spare time business
allows and are using it for self
improvement. These are marked
men. They are bound to win.
They will get somewhere because
they are willing to pay the price
in self denial. They figure that
three or four nights a week for a
year or two will add materially
to their power to do, and power
to do commands its compensa-
ton. We pay trained men, and
nowhere is training so easily to
be had as in the spare hours.
A young man applied to a bank
recently, saying that he worked
nights and had few hours a day
to give to other work and wanted
to help the family by these added
efforts. He has the right stuff
in him. In the daily papers comes
the story of man who was in d
like position, and, seeing an ad-
vertisement for a man who could
give a little extra time to the
work in mind, answered it and
added ten dollars a week to his
salary for eleven years with nc
injustice to other demands. He
was the only applicant.
