done in my case,' said Hon. Archie
R. Anderson. ex-sheriff of Harris
County, Texas.
''Mr. Anderson is unquestionably
not only one of the best known but
also one of the most popular men
that ever held office in Texas. AT
ter serving as a deputy sheriff of
Harris county for l2 years he was
elected chief of police of Houston.
He had occupied this Office only a
short time when thessheriff of Harris
county died. Mr.. Anderson's friends
then persuaded him 70 make the
race for the unexpired term of sher'
if, TO which he easily was elected.
He was honored with reelection
seven different times and served the
people in this most important office
fifteen consecutive years. -Four
years ago Mr.. Anderson declined
reelection and retired to private
life. He cast his lot among the
people of Houston and is a large
property owner and foremost citl-
zen of that city.

Relating to School Funds.

The County Board of Education
has not been able to make appor-
tionment of school funds from the
fact that State Tax Commission has
not made ruling on assessed valua-
tion of corporations. The apportion-
ment will be made as early as we
hear from the commission. There
is nothing to materially change ap-
portionment from last year.

Little Union county returned a plur
atty of 27O for Elliott. In 1916 Com
stock carried this county by 135. The
vote yesterday was, Elliott, 842, Gray
572. The total vote, Republican and
Democratic, was 1,414, compared with
1873 last November.
In Wayne county Gray carried only
seventeen of the sixty-five precincts
In 1916 he carried twenty-one.
Elliott carried the thirty-one pre-

plurality of 533 and he carried the

Socialist Gets 46e Votes.
There were 46S votes cast for the
Socialist candidate yesterday and l34
votes for the Prohibition candidate, in
Wayne county.
The organization the Republicans
had In Wayne county yesterday was
not a particularly effective one and
this fact in a measure, is assigned as
one of the reasons for the considerable
shrinkage in the vote. 1t Is also a
fact that quite a number of voters dis
played an indifference as to the out
come of the election, refusing to go
to the polls A large number of farm
ers were so busy they refused to vote.
The political interest of the nation
was conferred on the outcome OF the
sixth districts election, and the Re-
publican victory now gives that party
one more vote in the lower house
than possessed by the Democrats.
The Democrats conducted their cam
paign throughout the district on the
platform Of: Send Democrat to con-
gress to stand by the President" but
the Republican speakers who were
sent into the district emphasized the
fact that the Republican members OF
congress had, as a whole, stood by the
government better than had the mem
bers of President Wilson's own party.

MINISTERS PLAN 10
COOPERATE WITH
DEFENSE COUNCIL

That the Ministerial association has
enthusiastically entered into the work
of national defense was evidenced by
the action taken at its annual outing
held yesterday at Cedar Springs.
The substitution of patriotic service
for the usual pyrotchnics in Wayne
county on the Fourth of July was up
for discussion and a committee COM
posed of Revs. r. D. Baldwin, j. j..
Rae and R. L. Seman, was appointed
to meet with the County Defense
Council to formulate plans for this
day
Next Sunday has been set aside as
a day upon which the ministers Of
the country have been asked to preach
the gospel of food conservation. This
is at the request of Food Director
Hoover ITO Win War by Preventing
Waste" is the text proposed by Hoov-
er to the ministers.
Every minister in attendance at the
meeting yesterday will devote por-
ton if not all of his sermon next Sun
day to this question. Food saving day
will be made of even greater import
ance than food production day.

of 1t is crushed fine enough to need
no further Preparation.
The roads of northern France were
always excellent, but they were never
better than today. The only complaint
travellers had against them in the old
days was that the paved strip in the
center was too narrow.
That complaint cannot be made af-
ter the British highway plans have
been completed, for all the main high
ways will be macadamed to a width
permitting three broad-gauge lorries
to run abreast, and even the byways
will have a paved surface wide
enough to allow traffic to pass easily
at any point.
Roads Are Dusty
Excessive business is the only fault
of the roads today, for war economics
will not permit the use of precious oil
on roadways.
There is little need anywhere in
this district for Strengthening roads
or altering routes, because the roads
of northern France mostly run straight
as an arrows flight.
Most of the great highways were
laid out in Napoleon's time by mill
tary surveyors, and their strategic

Entrance
Great Aid to Allies,
Says Jap Minister

TOXIC, June 27.-Viscount Ichiro
Motono, foreign minister. in an ad-
dress to the diet yesterday expressed
the conviction that the entrance of
the United States in the war, with UNI
shakeable determination to defeat Ger
many by employing all her force
would greatly contribute to the reali-
zation of the goal sought by all entente
allies.
He rejoiced that Japan and the
United States are now closely COLA
borating against common enemies.
Their cordial relations have an in
cIeasing tendency further to become
cemented in mutually and sincerely
uniting all efforts.
I'VE cannot foresee." said Viscount
Motono, when the end of the struggle
which has ravaged the world for
three years will come and do not be-
lieve all difficulties will be finished
with this war.
Il can even affirm that the greatest
difficulties will begin with the end of
the war. Then we will need all our
force and all our energy to establish a
durable peace in the world and defend
cur rights and interests"

BEHIND THE BRITISH LINES IN
FRANCE, June 27-Hundreds of miles
Of the smooth white macadam roads
of northern France will remain for
many years after the war as real
memorial to the devastated towns
which the Germans left in ruins after
their retreat this spring.
All over northern France the roads
are being widened and re-surfaced
with stone and rubble taken from the
wrecked house of Peronne, Albert,
Arras, and counties other ruined
towns and villages. AS fast as the
British soldiers clear away the debris
of the towns, it is piled into lorries
and distributed in heaps along the
main roads.

TOBACCO SOLD DIRECT

STOCKHOLM, Sweden, June 81
Sweden's receipts from the increased
tobacco taxes of 1916. which the king
dom's budget commission had esti-
mated at 100000 crowns when the
tax was laid, amounted to 15,290,000
crowns. Part of this sum was secured
by the elimination of wholesale deal
ers, the state monopoly now selling
direct to retailers. Prices were in
creased sharply a few months ago,
particularly for cigarettes, which now
cost on. the average 100 per cent. more
than is asked for the same brands in

ARMY STILL $4,000
SHORT OF STRENGTH

WASHINGTON, June 27.-With re-

Elent officials estimated today that the
regular army still is more than fifty
thousand men short of war strength,
the goal it had been hoped to attain
by Friday night.
On the face of the returns SO far, 1T
is apparent that there has been no
general response among men OF mill
tary age to President Wilson's call
for 10000 volunteers during the week
to fill up the ranks of the regular es-
adjustment and thus complete the
first big military preparation In the
war against Germany.
Returns for the first three days, in
fact, were below the average of the
weeks preceding. They were far be-
low the expectations of officials here
who had been confident that the presi-
dents direct and clear cut appeal for
volunteers would bring home to thou
sands the fact that their country needs
them at once.

He said: "The young pig. plenty Of

The meat supply of the country can
be increased more quickly by raising
hogs than in any other way. 1t takes
several years to mature beef animal.

pork chops in six months.

The hog turns by-products into
meat at a rate that discourages rival

cities could be utilized in feeding
hogs, our greatest waste would make
us wonderful profit.

An analysis of the vote in Wayne

Gray were we'll founded. There was a
shrinkage of 2,207 In the Democratic

the vote cast for Comstock last year.
