British Farming on Increase.

From United States Consular Reports.

very favorable for agricultural operations.

set in quite a month earlier. In the
north OF England farmers have been able
TO SOW most of their wheat and "A COOL
deal Of winter oats and rye. Indeed. a,
lot of wheat in Yorkshire is already above
ground, and is looking strong and healthy.
while under the favorable conditions much
more has been sOwn than normally.
There will probably be less feeding OF
winter stock. as 1t now pays the farmers
better to send their root crops (swcdes)
to market than to give them to the live
stock. Moreover, there is Il scarcity Of
oil cake. and official orders prohibit the
use OF grain.
a noteworthy feature OF agricultural
development in Yorkshire and particula rlv

BUSINESS MEN TO
HELP FIGHT FIRES
Automobile Trailer Will BE Equipped
With Apparatus for Distinguishing
Farm Fires

The business men Of Pullman this
week took another step toward build
ing up the spirit of cooperation be-
tween the farmers and the citizens
of the community when the chamber
of commerce named a special COM
mittee to investigate ways and means
of assisting the farmers in fighting
grain and farm fires in this vicinity.
An automobile trailer, fully equip
ped with chemical tanks and other
fire fighting apparatus, will be main
tanned by the chamber of commerce
throughout the harvest season, ready
for immediate service upon the
sounding Of the farm fire alarm. A
volunteer fire department. of 10
men will be organized by the city
council of defense and the two or
CARNATIONS will cooperate in their
efforts to reduce the fire loss during
the 1918 season to a minimum. The
committee was appointed at the meet
ing of the chamber of comm cree and
will make arrangem ents for the fire
fighting equipment. Five taps of the
city fire bell, followed at intervals
by five other taps, will notify the
members of the farm fire brigade
that their assistance is needed and
automobiles will be avilable to take
the fire fighters and the trailer load
ed with equipm ent to the scene of the
blaze.
Business establishments having
trucks will be asked to make them
available to the fire fighters upon
call, day or night, and a number OF
truck owners have already stated
willingness to respond Immediately
to any fire call that may be made
and haul the equipm ent and firemen
to the country where their services
are needed.
A telephone fire alarm system for
the rural districts will also be ar
ranged. a certain number OF shor'
rings to notify the farmer that there
is a fire in the neighborhood. He
can then learn the exact location OF
the blaze from the central" oper'
ator and will be in a position to rem
der immediate assistance if neces-
sary.

New Regulations Cut Aportionment
to Each Member of Family to Two
Pounds Per Month

Beginning yesterday, August |, the
people of the United States are
placed on a sugar ration of two
pounds per month for each member
of the family, a reduction of one
pound per month from the regula-
lions effective previous to that time.
A complete survey of the sugar situa-
ton has revealed the fact that the
supply of sugar on hand at the pres
ent time will last until the new crop
comes in, late this fall, under that
ratio, but that the supply would have
been exhausted under the three
pound regulation before the new crop
could be expected.
The alleged destruction by Hun
submarines of 5O,000,000 pounds OF
sugar consigned to France last month
is thought to be one of the chief
causes for the new regulations in the
United States.
Unless the consumption OF sugar
is reduced both by householders and

Harry Hawcroft, who last week en-
tered plea of guilty at his prelim-
mary hearing on the charge of steal
ing the U. G. Lawler automobile and
driving it to Lewiston, caused consid-
cradle excitement in Colfax Monday
when he escaped from the hospital,
where he had been taken from the
county Jail for medical attention. He
appropriated a suit of clothes belong
ing to another man and went down
town, where he purchased a full out
fit of clothes, writing a bad check
in payment. He then went to lead
ing hotel and rented room for sew
eral days. AS deputy sheriff was
passing the lobby of the hotel Haw-
croft hailed him and waved his hand.
The startled deputy took the youth
in tow and again landed him behind
the bars of the county jail.

SOLDIER BOXING
TOURNEY TONIGHT
Company contests at College Audi
tOrium Will BE Fast and Exciting
Seven Bouts Scheduled

Much enthusiasm has been aroused
over the boxing tournament between
Companies A, B, and c of the State
College training detachment, which
is to be held Friday evening, August
2, at the college auditorium.
To date seven bouts have been
scheduled, but more are expected.
Those to perfom are the best from
their companies. This promises to be
the best attraction offered yet by the
training detachment and some fast
boxing is in store for the audience.
Much interest is being taken in the
bout between Private Jones and Cor
poral Knapp, as both boys are expert
enced at the game. Private Jones
has been boxing on the Coast before
coming here and his ability is well
known to Coast fans as a willing and
game mixer. Although having been
out of the game for some time, he re-
entered the ring a few months ago
and his come back proved that he is
hard man to beat.
Corporal Knapp halls from Mime
sofa and has a record of being a
clever and game boxer. He has
boxed with some of St Paul's best
and is expected to give Private Jones
hard run for his money.
The bout between Private ASKING
Of Company A and Private HickOk of
Company b, promises TO be an inter-
esting go, as both are small fellows
and each thinks he is big enough to
take the others measure and uphold
his company.
Private ASKING halls from the
Coast and has been training with
some of the Coasts best boys, which
gives him an edge over Private He
kok, but Private Hickok is training
with Corporal Knapp and it is known
that he packs terrible Mary Ann"
which may end Private Ashing's ca
reer suddenly if it connects.
Another bout, between Private Orr
ard Private Fulton, should be fast
and full Of action, as both men are
game and speedy
The boys in the other bouts are all
willing and good mixers and a sensa-
tional finish in some Of the goes will
not be surprise.
A nominal charge of 10 cents will
be made The proceeds will be add
ed to the detachment fund, which
will be spent on a farewell picnic and
dance for the people OF Pullman and
community.

UN|ONTOWN MAYOR
KILLED BY HAY FORK

minutes.
Mayor Schwenne has for many
years been one of Uniontowns lead
ing citizens, able, progressive, and
determined AS mayor of the city he
was largely instrumental in bringing
about the paving and other improve
ment work which has marked Union
towns advancement during the past
few years. He was a potent factor
in all Liberty Bond. Y. NJ. c. A. and
other war drives, and worked untir-
ingly in his efforts to help win the
war. His loss is a distinct blow, not
only to UniontOwn but to the entire
county, and the entire populace
mourns with his relatives. One son,
Louis, is attached to an eastern army
camp.

of Columbus, Salvation Army and
other bodies working for the welfare
of American military forces in Eu-

The sugar situation confronting
the United States is described by the
food administration as follows:
Sugar supplies throughout the
country, in homes, stores, factories
and bakeries are at low ebb; produc-
ton from the Am erican beet and the
Louisiana cane crops have been dis
appointing: the yield in Porto Rico
has likewise been smaller than an

United States and allies to secure
sugar from Java and other distant
sources on account of the imperative
call for ships for the movement of
troops and their supplies has materi-
ally reduced the supply from such
quarters.
added to this already difficult
situation the quantity needed for the

FIRE DESTROYS
FARM STRUCTURE

A small barn on the Frank Hen
derson farm, two miles south of Pull
man, was destroyed by fire late
Thursday evening Of last week, a
Ford automobile and several farm We
hicles being included in the toll taken
by the flames. A number of Pull
man citizens responded to the tele-
phonic call for assistance and did ex-
cellent work in keeping the flames
from spreading to a larger barn
nearby. II is thought that the fire
was started by sparks from a torch
used TO destroy mites in chicken
house which was a part of the
burned structure.
