 WHICH HAS SET TOWARD JAPAN

Within the five week period ending August r. exports totalling $13,000 000 were more than four times as great as imports. The movement has been too recent, however. to effect substantially the great volume of gold in this count y. The stock is s3000 900, 900 of which ap- proximately forty per cent has been imported since January 1915.
 Imports of gold during the current year have totalled more than $53S, ,000,- 900. Exports were recently estimated to have approXimated $300.000,000 or more than twice as much as the volume exported altogether in 1916. Much of this gold has gone to Japan, which has a balance of trade against the United States and recently exportations to Spain have assumed large proportions

AUSTIN, Texas, Sept. 7.-An at tempt by w. A. Hanger, Governor j.. E. Fergusons chief counsel, to bar tes- timony regarding the escrow fund in the Temple State Bank, known as the governors special account, failed this afternoon at the impeachment trial or Governor Ferguson before the senate.
 President pro tenn w. l.. Dean ruled that the testimony was admissible as showing that a $5,600 charge against the governors official account on Aug use 23, 1915, could not have been taken from the special account. Before the house it was testified that on that date the governor had only $50.62 iQ his private account. The articles of impeachment charge that the governor misappropriated S5.600 from his offi- cial account to settle a personal obli- gation.
 MT. Hangers objection came while R. s. Sterling, president of the Dayton Lumber company. was on the stand.

But before, and long after it's disposi- ton, and with scant attention paid ap- proval of the big income tax levy, the senate was engaged in the war of words it provoked
 Senator La Toilette had offered the amendment yesterday for Senator Hardwick, who was absent.

 Our boys are not as cheap as some statesmen the Minnesota senator shouted
 Senator Chamberlain, chairman o. the military committee, with evident feeling, cited Senator Hardwicks op- position to the draft law and declared the amendment tended to demoralize the army and toward further resistance of the law.
 In reply Senator Hardwick claimed i the right of free speech defended his course in opposition to the administra ton and attacked what he called thf flamboyant patriotism" of his critics Senator Williams criticised tho Georgia senator's past and present atti. (Continued on Page Two,

WILSON URGES
PEOPLE TO HELP
WIN WORLD WAR

From the presidents proclamation,
April Is, 1917
''To the men who run the railways
of the country, whether they be man
ayers or operative employees, let me
say that the railways are the arteries
of the nations life, and upon them
rests the immense responsibility Of
seeing to it that those arteries suffer
no obstruction of any kind, no ineff-
cheney or slackened power.
"To the merchant let me suggest
the motto, small profits and quick
service; and TO the shipbuilder the
thought that the Life of the war de-
pends upon him. The food and the
war supplies must be carried across
the seas no matter how many ships
are sent to the bottom. The places
of those that go down must be sup
piled and supplied at once.
"To the miner let me say that he
stands VIII re the farmer does. The
work of the world waits on him. II
he slackens or fails, armies and
statesmen are helpless. He also is
enls ed in the great service army.
"The manufacturer does not need
to be told, l hope, that the nation
looks to him to speed and perfect
every process; and want only to re-
mind his employees that their service
is absolutely indispensable and ia
counted on by every man who loves
the country and It's liberties.
ut Is evident to every thinking
man that our industry ON the farms
in the shipyards, in the mines, in the
factories, must be made more prolific
and more efficient than ever, and thai
they must be more economically man.
aged and better adapted to the parti-
cular requirements of our task than
they have been; ana what l want 70
say is that the men and the women
who devote their thought and their
energy to these things will be serv'
ing the country and conducting the
fight for peace and freedom Just as
truly and just as effectively as the
man on the battlefield or In the
trenches.
This is the time for America to
correct her unpardonable fault oi
wastefulness and extravaganza. Lei
every man and every woman assume
the duty of careful, provident use
and expenditures as public duty, as
dictate of patriotism which no one
can now expect ever to be excused
or forgiven for ignoring.

HELP FOR GARDENS
ADVISES EVERY EMPLoYE TO
PLANT A GARDEN FOR THEIR
OWN USE.

Circular No, Sc, just put out by the
Union Pacific sys EN-, advises all en-
ployes to cultivate little garden in
their spare time this summer as an
offset for the feed shortage and the
high cost OF living 1t offers the
use of idle land belonging to the
system and offers any other help
that the railways can render. The
circular 10 as follows:
The shortage in staple food pro-
ducts throughout our country has be-
come so pronounced during recent
months that the problem of increas-
ing the production of food crops dur
ing the coming season by all avail
able means and methods, both for
home consumption and TO supply the
demands from abroad In the present
national crisis, Is one of grave con-
cen and all patriotic citizens and or
garizations are now seriously en-
gagged in its solution.
The measure of success that will
attend the efforts being exerted In
this direction will depend largely up
on individual action, and | feel that
existing conditions justify me in call
ing your attention to this matter and
urging upon you the need OF your
help and cooperation in the nation
wide movement that Is now under
way, with the object of having the
greatest possible acreage devoted to
the cultivation Of vegetables and
other food products.
The urgency of this matter is too
apparent to need emphasizing and 1t

our employees will not only, by indi-
vidual effort, be able to place. avail
able ground that is capable OF produc-
ing vegetables and other food producf
under cultivation, but that they Will

thorties, local organizations-such as
commercial clubs, women's clubs, etc.,
and individuals In their communities,
and assist in all possible ways In the
extension of this beneficial work.
| would offer the following sugges-
tions as indicating practical ways In
which you may assist in this matter:
first, by planting garden on your
own gorden on your own ground, II
you have any, otherwise on railroad
right.of-way where suitable or vacant
lots you might lease for the purpose;
second, by urging your neighbors to
plant gardens; and third. by taking
up with your commercial clubs or
other organizations and urging upon
them the desrabiity OF organizing
within the limits of their community
a concerted plan for for carrying on
this work. If the railroad company
can be of assistance in providing
help or giving advice. 1t will be pleas
ed to do so to the fullest possible
extent through it's various representa-
