FOUR new ENGINEER
REGIMENTS ORDERED

Washington, May 17.-Orders were
issued for the organization Of four
new regiments and two mounted bat.
talions of engineer troops for the reg.
ular army to bring the engineer force
up to the strength provided for in the
national defense act.
The existing First and Second regi-
ments Of engineers and the two mount
ed companies now in the Southern de.
partment will be expanded to form the
new units.
The Third regiment Of engineers is
on foreign service in Panama, Hawaii
and the Philippines and will not be
affected.
The order means the promotion OF
many officers.

return big interest on the investment
and a dollar saved may lei two
dollars lost.
Every dollars worth of tile laid on
a farm, will not only help out just now
but will be a permanent improvement
on that land for generations to come.
The first hard-burned clay tile ever
made, when laid right, are working
today. After they are in, they make a
good insurance proposition. They will
do no harm, and in most cases some
good, in a dry year. and save the crop
in a wet one. Real estate men are
quick to see the advantage in drainage
simply as a speculative Improvement.
This is a good proof that the value OF
the land will be enhanced. at least as
much as the cost Of the improvement.

taorized to Give Preference or Prior.
ity to Certain Kinds Of Freight.
Washington, May 17.-Broad presi.
dental authority over transportation,
including power to determine what
commodities shall be given preference
In the movement of freight, was asked
OF congress by President Wilson with
the plea that 1.-THE exercise Of such al.
thority has become imperatively neces.
sary."
In submitting a resolution authoriz.
Ing him to exercise these powers for
the duration Of the war or to delegate
them to a transportation commission,
er the president wrote the house ju.
dietary and commerce committees
that, while the railroads have shown
a patriotic spirit, creation of some
central authority should be authorized
at once to guide in determining the
priority of shipments.
The resolution, drawn by Attorney
General Gregory, was introduced in
the house by Chairman Webb of the
judiciary committee and will be pre-.
sented In the senate in a few days.
1t would give the president author.
ity during the war ito direct that
certain kinds Of traffic or particular
shipments, as may be determined by
him, shall have preference or priority
in transportation by any common car
riers by rail or water"
May Be Modified or AnnuIied.
He also could give these directions
at and for such times as he may de
termine and may modify, change, sus-
pend or annul Them" and could "di.
rect the exercise Of powers conferred
by any department or agency of the
government"
Other sections would empower the
transportation commission or com
missioner thus created to adopt, sub
iect to the presidents approval, "all
necessary rules and regulations for
this procedure and for the enforce.
ment Of the directions to be given to
carriers. 1t also is provided specifical
ly that no act done or omitted to be
done by any carrier, necessary to com
ply with such a direction, shall be the
basis of any criminal or civil liability
In a letter to Representative Webb
and to Chairman Adamson of the
commerce committee the president
wrote:
what this resolution would pro
vide, if adopted, would be some au.
thority by which competitive ques-
lions Of this sort could be determined,
It would cause no friction, indeed, 1t
would remove It, and it would relieve
a very great embarrassment arising
out OF the existing conditions"

Half Your Living
Without Money Cost

A right or wrong start in 1917 will
make or break most farmers in the
South. We are all facing a crisis.
This war in Europe puts things in
such uncertainty that no man can
foresee the future with any degree of
clearness.
The sure and certain increase in
cotton acreage means lower cotton
prices next fall. Cost of all food and
grain products is high. SO high that
no one can afford to buy and expect
to pay out with cotton.
It's time above all others to play
safe; to produce all possible food,
grain and forage supplies on your
own acres; to cut down the store bill.
A good piece of garden ground,
rightly planted, rightly tended and
kept planted the year round, can be
made to pay half your living. It will
save you more money than you made
on the best FIVE acres of cotton you
ever grew!
