Big Packing House for New Orleans.
The New Orleans Association
of Commerce announces that Mel
son Morris & Company, packers
of Chicago, have purchased the
plant Of the Crescent City Stock
Yards and Slaughterhouse, and
will build and operate thereon a
modern packing house plant.
The securing of this plant is the
direct result Of the initiative of
the packing house committee of
the Association of Commerce,
appointed February % by Presi-
dent Jahncke.
This means the development of
a market of the first order for
cattle, hogs and sheep produced
in louisiana Mississippi and AL
ALBANIA in New Orleans. The
New Orleans market for live
stock will now be developed along
the most wholesome lines.

Assembling Of Congress
Awaited With Great Interest
President Wilson Wants House Organized by Tuesday in
Order to Present War Emergency APP
preparations Being Discussed

Washington, March q. -Presi-
dent Wilson was said today to be
hopeful that the House of Repre-
sentatives will rush its organiza-
ton plans SO that there will be
no delay in affording him oppor-
tunity to make his address on the
war situation to a joint session
with the Senate.
No matter how the final or
ganization is perfected admins
tration leaders are anxious that
if a prolonged fight is in prospect
some sort of an arrangement be
made for temporary organization
to permit the presidents appear
ance Tuesday or Wednesday.
These officials feel that public
opinion will not support a long
struggle over organization and
committee patronage at such a
critical time.
Another reason for original
House action is the probability
that the resolution will carry an
emergency appropriation. APP
preparation measures must origi-
nate there.
The final cabinet meeting be-
fore the assembling of Congress
will be held tomorrow and men,
bers will be ready to report fully
on preliminary preparedness
measures.
Need of universal military
training legislation was urged

Wilson on the war situation, but

has the authority to purchase the

ty, as the debt can be taken care
of by the current revenues of the
town and the earnings of the
plant.
In addition to the light plant,
the board also have in view the

Cities Every One Should See.

There are at least six cities on
this continent which everyone
should see. Everyone should see
New York because it is the larg-
est city in the world, and because
it combines the magnifcience,
the wonder, the beauty, the sor-
didness, and the shame of a great
metropolis; everyone should see
San Francisco because it is so
vivid, so alive, so golden; every
one should see Washington. the
clean. white splendor of which is
like the embodiment of a national
dream; everyone should see the
old gray granite city of Quebec
piled on its hill above the river

tradition and early American ele-
gance; and of course everyone

Assuming that Congress shall

Food stuffs Will Be Money Crops.

OOo OSunS VIII OC cIOuCy OLOR0s
The Federal Reserve Bank, of
Dallas, Texas, has issued an adj
dress to the bankers association
calling special attention to "A
World in Need of Food. The
banking interests are perhaps in
better position to aid in making
our farms produce not only the
most profitable crops, but also
those for which we have the
most vital need.
The disposition to plant more
cotton is a mistake among farm
ers of widespread extent, and it
is likely to be most mischievous.
If the south raises a big cotton
crop in 1917 the price is sure to
decline to a low figure. The
world will need twelve million
bales of cotton in 1917, but that
will certainly be raised without
any increase in acreage over last
year.
Whether the war continues or
peace comes quickly, in either
event there will be a hungry
world short of food,' says the
Reserve Bank, and the proba-
bilities are that peace will make
the greater demands upon the
food supplies of countries not de-
vastated by war. 1t is now too
late in the season for production
of food crops to be got under way
quickly enough to do any good
this year in the war-ridden coun-
tries. If we have the food we
can sell it whether there is war
or peace, and it can be sold at a
greater and surer profit than cot
ton.
The United States is sure to
have greater and greater de-
mands made on its food supplies.
and we must be prepared for it.
Let our farmers ponder the ques-
ton. What will it profit a farm
er to raise money crop, if the
money has to go for food and
other necessities that are made
more costly by the high prices of
food?" 1t now appears certain
that food stuffs will be the money
crops, and it is self interest for
us to see that they are raised.
1t is impossible to go wrong in
the raising of live stock. and the
question of feeding our stock and
our people, as well as the people
of half of Europe, is the Invest
question our farmers now have
before them.

 Under and by virtue of Special Execution, issued out of the Superior Court of the County of Coconino, State of Arizona, on the 10th day of November, A. D., 1917, in the above entitled action, wherein Ralph H. Cameron, the above named plaintiff, obtained a judgment and decree of foreclosure and sale against Integrity Mining Company, corporation, de- fendant, on the 2Sth day of April, 1917, for the sum of $2O8, 10000, and interest thereon at the rate of six per cent per annum from the said 2Sth day of April, 1917, until paid, and the further sum of $11.65 costs, I am commanded to sell all those cer- tain lots, pieces or parcels of land ly- ing and being in an unorganized min- ing district in or near the Grand Canyon of the Colorado, Coconino County, Arizona, described as follows, the books and pages hereinafter men toned and specified being records in the office of the County Recorder of Coconino County, Arizona, to-wit: Placer Mining Claims:

ed on the outer edge with beaver. The scarf had a narrow turnover collar on the side worn next the throat, and, it too, was bordered with beaver. The bag was melon-shaped, with long strap to go over the arm; two or three narrow rows of beaver ran around it. The sets are easy to make and add great deal of distinction to the sports costume. Then, there are bags to carry skates, smart leather affairs with ones initials in silver or brass. Muffs are not carried while skating, for they are only in the way, and the vigorous exercise soon warns the cold est hands.
 Ribbons, Ribbons Everywhere. There seems to be nothing one can not do with them this year, from the knitting bag, through lingerie, to the | evening dress. The shades are won- derful, and some of the designs, copied from ancient Egypt and the far East, are almost historically interesting. They are making bustles of ribbon, wide two-toned ribbon of satin or vel vet; they are making camisoles and even pajamas of wide satin ribbon; in fact, ribbon is a recognized material for the winter. Hats, of course, and bags, dainty sachets and other novel, ties for Christmas gifts one expects to find in ribbon.
 Box Pleats and Surplice Waist.
 Two of the most popular of the seasons styles are the box x-pleated tunic and the surplice waist. Illus trated here is charming example. Note the narrow underskirt and the tight sleeves. The wide belt does not hug the figure too closely, but gives the long straight line from the shoul- der to the hem. The wide loose belt is distinct feature of the mode The absence of trimming gives an added distinction to this frock. ..
