Cavalrymen Here Watch
ing Long March Of Troops
With New Equipment.

Cavalrymen Of the United States

airy saddle, bride. rifle sling and

ing here from Washington as prin-
cipal observer.
The test Of the 1917 saddle has
evoked the most interest It was de-
signed TO replace the old Mcclellan
saddle. which has been in use in the
army Tor many years The new
saddle is described as a combination
between a Texas cowman's saddle
and a flat riding saddle. It has a
high pommel. arched. but has no
horn. The cantle slopes more than
that Of the cowboys or the old
saddle. Weight Of the rider is dis
tributed more evenly and pockets are
provided for surplus equipment. The
new model is said by officers to be
specially well designed for men who
are large or heavy.
Saber Is Two Edged.
The 1917 saber is strictly a thrust
ing weapon, two edged. and with a
large grip. It is said TO be very
popular among the men The bride
has the curb and snaffle fastened TO
the check strap with snaps This
was said to be a weakness. as a ner-
vous horse might unfasten the snaps.
The rifle sling has a clip which holds
the gun to the soldiers back with

boot, in which the butt Of the gun

Mr.. B. H. Duncan brought to The

from his May Day plantation, near

This stalk is 4 IL feet high and

a fair sample of a 4O0-acre tract. He
has 200 acres more of the same var
iety of cotton, which is very pretty
but about half the size of that in the
first mentioned tract.
Mr. Duncan says he has only found
an occasional boil weevil on his plan

about; that his cotton crop, and that
of practically all the southern section
of Lef7ore county, is fully 100 per cent.
better than the crop last year, and
that the people are naturally feeling
