shot to stop the man and not to kill

Passing Of The Old Coach

The old fashioned stage coach has passed from it's last stande in the Yellowstone National park. In 1915 Secretary Lane admitted private automobiles to the park, but retained the horse drawp stages. This necessitated spec ial motor schedules to avoid ac- cidents. The situation remained the same last season under an enormous increase of motor trav- el. This season, however, the old stages are replaced by a fleet of seven and ten passenger cars, and the restrictions to general automobile travel are largely re moved. The work begun in 1915 is Completed. The Yellowstone is motorized. 1T ..u~ .
 This change was not accom- plished wholly without opposi- tion. Many persons held that the old stages should be retained for

Corn In Place Of Wheat

To eat more corn and less wheat is simple way, which ev eryone can adopt, to help in feed ing the allies across the seas Corn is distinctly American product. We raise approximate ly two thirds of ali that is grown in the world; we are accustomed to it, and we know how to pre- pare it for the table. In Europe with the exception of Italy. Aus tria Hungary, and Rumania, it is almost unknown. and many peo> pie do not know how to cook corn meal and similar products. We can use our corn to much better advantage here than they can abroad; and the more corn we do use the more wheat, rye and barley will be available for export.
 Corn meal costs less than the other popular cereals, and it's nutritive value compares favora- bly, with that of wheat. It is somewhat deficient in protein or tissue business material, but this characteristic is not so marked in the case of the old fashioned unbolted meal. Those who prefer this can obtain it readily by grinding the corn themselves at home in a hand gristmill.
 The Secretary of Agriculture has appealed for an expansion o the corn acreage on the ground that corn is the leading feed anC food crop of the United States and that it can be grown success fully oyer a greater area thar any other. Undoubtedly farmer. will act on this advice. If thu consumers do their part as well there will be that much nor, wheat available for export.
 Detailed suggestions for tn use of corn in making bread ant in other ways can be had iron the United States Department o Agriculture upon request.

sentimental and historical req sons. But, while the Depart ment of the Interior shared their regrets i'll the passing of so pic turesque an institution, there was no withstanding the march of progress. Visitors were in creasing rapidly and were de. manding a faster passage be tween scenic spots than horse drawn vehicles permitted Those with limited time complained that more than half their visit was spent in passage through uninteresting lodgepole forests time which they wanted in the geySer basins, at the Canyon, and at the greater lakes. Others complained that the stage rides were so exhausting that they could not appreciate the great spectacles when they reached them. And the demand for tour ing motorists for greater free dom grew even louder and more insistent.
 So progress had it's way this year we have new Yellowstone.
 The automobile service will be adequate and rapid. Those who have at their disposal only the six days which was the neces- ary minimum of a Yellowstone visit under the old transporta- tion system will now be able to spend nearly all of it at points of special scenic interest or in see ing wilderness features never seen by former visitors of limit ed stay.
 As for the motorist, he'll low be able to use the parks more than two hundred miles of road with almost the same freedom as roads anywhere else is.America

The mills of the three states have distributed to June 1. s, ,796. 715 pockets, as compared with 6,250,531 pockets the same date last year. This is a net gain of a little more than 2,500,000 pock- cts over the same months last year The export demand con tinues good, although some diff culty is being encountered in se- curing boats to handle this ex- port business. The protracted drouth is seriously affecting the chances of good yield over the coastal belt ,
 Mir. Eignus returned yester- day from Southwestern Louisi- ana and reports the presence of salt water in most of the streams used for irrigating purposes. Unless these streams are fresh ened by a heavy rainfall most of the larger irrigation plants will be closed in Southwestern Louis jana the latter part of the pres ent week. The conditions are no better in Texas.
 "Matagorda county, which is the second largest rice produc- ing county in Texas, is being in fested with new rice pest. This is a species of brown beetle which works under the ground and seems to work equally as we'll in flooded or dry fields About 5000 acres in Matagorda county, has been affected seri- ously by this pest.
 This continued drouth has retarded planting and it is evil dent that the acreage in Louisi ana and Texas will be but little in excess of that of last year. and even with the most ideal condi- tions during the remainder of the growing season it is not probable that the two states will produce as many sacks of rice as in 1916. Conditions are some what better in Arkansas. he said.

Destructive Beetle Is Damaging Coast
 Rice

Wide publicity which has been given rice as a good product this year may or may not have result ed in it's being selected as new pest i'll the form of a diminutive beetle which apparently has turned to the cereal as variety of food which it had been mss ing. Otherwise Matagorda coun- ty must be credited as the source of the insect In that county 5000 acres have been af- fected seriously by the beetle, according to B. A. Eignus, gen eral manager of the Southern Rice Growers association, who has just returned from trip over Southwestern Louisiana and other rice growing sections. He says that acreage in Louisiana and Texas, due to unfavorable conditions, will be but little in excess of that for last year.
 Very little rice remains in the hands of the mills. The total stocks of both rough and clean owned by mills in Texas, Louisi- ana and Arkansas on the first day of June amounted to only 335, ,049 sacks. For the purposes of comparison the stocks in tLe hands of the mills on June 1 of the following years may be of interest.
