BALTIMORE, Md, July 11-Fred C.. Robinson of Dubuque, Ia., grand secre- tary of tEe B. P. O.

 The report said:

ARIZONA TROOPS ARE SHIFTED
 AROUND
Second Battalion Sent to Fort Near Border While Companies of First Battalion Are Recalled to Douglas Camp.

PHOENIX, July 13.-Official word was received at the adjutant general s office this week that the second batal- lion of the Arizona regiment, had been ordered to Fort Huachuca. Ma jor Coykendall of Phoenix is in con- mand of the battalion.
 By making this move, it was nec- essary to recall companies A and D, which had been on duty at Slaughter's ranch to Douglas, in or der to make up a full battalion at the border town.
 The companies of the third batal- lion are scattered all over the state, one company being at Casa Grandes, one at Roosevelt dam, and the rest split up all along the border.
 The irony of fate decreed that Company l of Flagstaff should be de tailed to Casa Grande. The men making up this company are all used to cold weather, and the intense heat at Casa Grande is making things rather uncomfortable for them.
 The company at Roosevelt, M of MoTenci, is evidently, according to all reports, enjoying itself to the ut most. The weather is comparativ ely cool there, and with Roosevelt Lake handy, in which to swim and fish, life in that camp is just one long vacation.
 The adjutant generals office could not account for the second battalion being ordered to Fort Huachuca. It was 'conjectured though, that in the redistribution of troops made neces- sary by the influx of eastern militia men, it was decided to send part of the Arizona organization to the fort,

 U. s. To Recruit.

Official word was received by Col. Harris yesterday that the United States government would take charge of all recruiting in the states hence forth The colonel had stopped all recruiting on the first of July. At that time he was unable to get any definite statement from the war de- partment as to whether or not the federal government was going to pay the costs of getting the men tOgeth- CT. The colonel took the stand that the troops were being called on for federal service and as such was the case, the state should not be made to settle the bill. The new order answers his question. Whether or not the regiment will be filled up with men from other states, is not known. It is thought, though that such will be the case, and that volunteers from any state will be accepted.

10000 monthly bulletins relating to
agricultural betterment, and has or
ganized the famous bankers-farmers

lege
Texas has been active in county

association there conducted cotton
warehouse campaign, increasing the
warehouse capacity Of the state by
over 100000 bales, and the committee
Is now conducting a statewide cam
paign for increased livestock produc-
ton.
Cotton States Bankers.
Last year" Mr. Hlrsch said, cot
ton states bankers, by vigorous and
concerted warehouse and gradual
marketing campaign, are said, by an
eminent authority, to have added over
S100,000,000 to the value of the cotton
crop, while this year, southern farm
ers, stimulated by a south-wide pub
publicity campaign undertaken Jointly
by southern bankers and southern
newspapers, have saved millions Of
dollars in feed and food stuffs pro-
duced at home, and, at the same time,
have automatically held cotton produc-
ton down to barely the worlds re-
quirements. and. as result, the value
Of the 1916 cotton crop will probably
exceed the amazing total Of $1,000
100000"
Mr.. Hirsch dwelt on the energetic
way in which various other state as
sociations Of bankers had taken up
the work in their own localities. Ho
paid particular attention to the work
Of the county agent as a means OF
bringing the educative work right up
to the farmers door.
The chief economic value Of the new
system Of federal land banks, said
Mr.. Hirsch, lies in the extended period
of payment afforded the borrower. This
he considered Of far greater impor-
lance than slight lessening of tho
interest rate-if the act lessons the
rate at all. The great rural problem
Of this country, he said, as it has been
Of all countries, is to make 1t a ma
ton Of land owners.

Time Devoted to Outdoor Sports to
Be Left to Post Com
manders.

Disputes among army officers in the
Philippines over baseball games and
other athletic sports have caused Off
cials at the war department to cOnsid-
er the advisability of the issue of an
official regulation to govern in cases
where there is a possibility that the
games may interfere with regular mill
itary duty. With the approval Of the
secretary Of war, Adjutant General
Mccain has issued the following men,
Orandum on the subject:
"The extent that sporting events
may be INDUCED In at military posts
is a matter that rests within the dis
cretiOn and judgment Of the post COM
mander, and it is not thought best to
lay down any general rule that would
restrict him in his discharge Of that
duty. He is held responsible for the
discipline, training and general cOndi-
ton of his troops, and 1t is maintained
that athletics go hand in hand with
military training and are vital to the
welfare and cOntentment of officers
and men. An officer or enlisted man
who does not keep in good physical
condition is bound to fail in the su-
preme test of war."-WashingtOn

Vandervyn smiled over his cham

Marie was looking at him. But Hardy
was watching her. He saw her proud
face soften and her brilliant eyes melt
with tender passion. His own face
became grave. A moment later she was

her animation soon compelled him to
forget what he had seen. VanderVyn

that she could act the lady to pertec-

History of the Potato.

The potato was introduced into
Spain, probably from Peru, early in the
sixteenth century by some returning
Spanish explorer whose name has not
come down. 1t found its way into Hol.
land and Italy, but was cultivated IN
gardens merely as a curiosity. Dates
vary as to its introduction into Eng
land and the claims of Sir Francis
Drake and Sir Walter Raleigh are in
dispute. Both seem to have brought
them almost simultaneously; one au-
thOrity gives the year 1885 as the time
when Drake brought them and 1886 as
the year Of their introduction by
Raleigh. Another writer gives pre-
cedence to Raleigh. Hawkins, the
slave trader, is said to have intro
duced potatoes to Ireland in 1866.
