Navy HALTS new SHIPS
FOR ADVICE OF ALLIES

The navy's building program Is being
held up until the arrival OF the British
and French commissions. 1t was learned
last night that while work on smaller
fighting craft IL being pushed, nothing
will be done on the eight great vessels
provided for IN the last two building pro-
grams.
The advisabiiity Of holding UP work on
warship construction until the allies have
been heard from has been discussed for
some time. 1t Is known that the sub
ject was given deep consideration while
Vice Admiral NJ. e. Browning. Of the
British navy, and Rear Admiral Grasset,
Of the French navy, were here on their
mission.
There are various reasons for the delay.
One Is to ascertain just what type OF war
vessels the allies have found most use
ful and also what types are needed most
just now. Another Is that merchant ves-
sells have been found just as successful
at submarine chasing as warships and
they have the added advantage Of being
cargo vessels.

C0NFEREES DISAGREED
AS TO WAR LOAN ITEMS
Believed House VIII Yield Stand BY
Monday-McAdoo Request, Speed.

rhs conferees OF the Senate and House
OF Representatives considered the differ
ences between the two legislative bodies
over the s.. .ooo 600. 900 bond issue yesterday
for several hours without either side be-
ing willing to yield the points in diss-
greement
The Senate modified the House bill by
Inserting q provision that the Secretary
OF the Treasury should have complete
authority 10 designate trust companies
and banks not member banks OF the Fed
eral reserve system wherein funds accru-
Ing from the sale of bonds might be de-
posted. The House OF Representatives
withheld this prerogative from the Secre-
tary.
II Is believed that an agreement will
be reached before Monday, when the
House reconvenes. and that the House
ultimately will yield its point. Meanwhile
a harry call from the Secretary OF the
Treasury to help meet a threatened deficit
Is advanced as reason for speeding up
action.

When to Sow Oats.

Most Of us are in hurry to
get our oat crop in early says
w. L. Nelson, who is in charge OF
the crop reporting service of the
Missouri State Board Of .Agricul-
ture but after all it will appar-
emily pay to take time to put good
seed into a well-prepared seeded,
rather than to mud in the crop.
"Taking the average for the
last II years, just about half the
crop-49.1 per cent-has been in
by April l, and the average yield
has been 23.9 bushels. For the
eight years when the crop went in
earlier than the average the yield
was 23.5 bushels, while for the six
later-than-averagc years the yield
was PA bushels.
"In 1910 the crop was sown
very early, 1877, per cent being in
by April l. The yield Of 1872
bushels was the best for the a.
year period. In 1912, though,
when less than one per cent of the
crop was in by April l, the yield,
with favorable April and May,
was 31.3 bushels.

Jacksonville Water Supply Elk
hausted.

On account of the long .contln-
ucd drouth, practically nine
months in length, the Harrison
vile Water Company found 1t
necessary Tuesday of this week
to abandon further efforts to keep
it's patrons supplied with water.
John A. Davis, president and gen.
cral manager of the company,
hopes that this condition will last
only a few days, but the only
thing that can bring early relief
is a quick, hard rain. A snow or
slow showers could not make
much impression, as most OF the
water would sink in the ground.
At present the bottom OF Lake
Luna, the source of the company =
supply, is completely dry and is
marked by wide deep cracks
