Wants
argentina to
Supply Wheat
Allies Haze First Call,
HoweOer, and US. VIII
Oppose Sale to Mexico.

Washington, D. C.. Feb. 20.-Any
attempt by Argentina TO dispose OF
any considerable quantity of wheat
other than to allied countries probably
will meet with opposition by the Unit
ed States and her cobelligerents. The
report that Mexican agents had made
contracts for wheat in Argentina were
supplemented by information at the
state department today which indi-
Gated that the agents were members
of the party that accompanied Luis
Cabrera to South America.
Contracts already have been made
by the French and British for the
greater part of the surplus Argentine
wheat and officials OF the American
assume that the Argen-
tine government viii see there Is no
violation of those agreements. In the
event an effort is made to move grain
to Mexico in large quantities, diff
culties probably will be placed in the
way of providing bunker coal for any
ships that might be intended for that
purpose.

TELLS HOW To
PUSH BUSINESS
J. W. Kirkpatrick, Adclub
Speaker, Says Get Up at
4::3O and Dig Garden.

When we are told 10 save. the in
tention is not that business should be
cut down; but the idea in stopping
spending is to spend where it does
good. TO make ones self more eff
cient, TO work harder and create
more" said J. ". Kirkpatrick in
talk on War and business" at the
weekly meeting OF the advertising
club Wednesday noon at Sheldon
hotel
Business men should arrange to
keep business at least the present
volume, but with less labor, and by
working themselves. and thereby re-
leasing men for productiveness. Men
thus thrown out OF employment
should be encouraged to be producers
Of farm products, hogs, sheep, cows
and the like.
-sThe business man should get up
about $3.50 o'clock in the morning and
work a back yard garden He should
encourage his hired help TO do like
wise. We are inclined to be lazy and
TO rear our children to be lazy"
says Banks should Help.
Mr.. Kirkpatrick argued that banks
should be more ready to make loans
on farm lands. He said also that he
was for prohibition. because the
liquor business Is a consumer Of pro-
duction. He added that If FL Paso
wants more prosperity il should pro-
duce more. At present copper is the
great product, but there should De
more cattle produced in this section.
A Smith spoke briefly. after Mr.
Kirkpatrick. saying that the fact that
some producers are at present un-
able TO meet their obligations has
made II difficult for the banks 10
make further loans on farm lands
Mr.. Smith suggested that private
capitalists should be interested in
lending money on farms.
says Banks Are Restricted.
J. I. Benton. president of the club
said that at this time, member banks
OF the federal reserve system are
restricted as 10 farm loans, and that
they are now being called on 70 sub
scribe ] percent OF their total re-
sources every week to United States
certificates issued to delay the third
Liberty loan.
