TEXAS FARMERS LEAVE FOR MORE
 FERTILE FIELDS

Dallas Texas, Sept. 3.-(By the As sociated Press. IA strange proces- sion of canvas-covered wagons. drawn by mules, for more than a month has been creeping out of west Texas with farmers and ranchers who have deS- paired of trying to make livlihoOd on the land that has been parched under blazing sun and has seen vir- tually no rain for thriyt-six months.
 The emigrants from this particular section have turned their faces to- ward the cotton fields Of eastern Tex as and Oklahoma, where work for all can easily be obtained. In some parts of the west Texas district, dusk finds as many as a dozen of these em- igrant camps in single mile.
 From the Panhandle and the nOrth- ern section fthe state come reports that similar caravans, reminiscent of half century ago, mar the exodus Of farmers from those districts who are moving toward Colorado and far ther west
 The var has played it's part with the departing homesteader, but lack of rain has been the real factor. Most of the settlers have been on iand rent ed from tle state. Some have spent years of labor building up their herds and others have been working the land into a profitable state of cultiva- tion.
 But the drought came and the cat tie died in numbers and those that did not die were too weak to bear young. Livestock men said the calf crop in wetst Texas this year was failure.
 Some settlers had accumulated enough money to travel while others borrowed money with which to make their departure. In many cases the war added to the tragedy by taking away young men whose strength might have made it possible for farm- CTS to hold on until rain came.
 The country which the settlers are leaving is that west and north ot Fort Worth and Dallas, ranging as far west as the state boundary and south of the Panhandle counties. In the Panhandle there were rains in the spring and occasional showers later that kept grass with which to feed the cattle.

Old "Ohio Company"

Tho so-called "Ohio company" of eNrly times was organized in Boston in 1786 for the purpose of buying gov
 ernment land and founding a settle ment northwest of the Ohio river. In 1787 its agents contracted with con- gress for 100000 acres of land and obtained an option for 5.000.O00 acres. The company founded the town of Marietta. O., which became an early center of New England influence in the Northwest. The contract made by the Ohio company contained the first national land grant for a universitS.

Local StoCkyards
Men Not Surprised

Oklahoma City livestock men express
themselves as being not in the least
surprised that all the stockyards in the
country were to be put under federal
license.
One effect of this move will be, it is
pointed out, that it is as near as the
government can come for the present
to supervising the marketing of cattle
The government will now be in posi-
tion quickly and effectively TO stop any
profiteering its agents might find by
summarily canceling the federal Ii
cense of the firm or individual con-
cerned.

of the other car had been paying at

terrific rate of speed. She was talk
ing to a soldier and was not looking
ahead. Her car hit mine in the cen.

DIVISION
is BEHIND
ON NURSES
Quota for Southwest is 2425; 995
Supplied to Date; District
Stands Tenth in the
United States.

st. Louis, Sept 24.--The South.
western American Red Cross Divi-
sion, which includes Kansas, Mis-
sour, Oklahoma, Arkansas and Texas,
must enroll 1880 trained nurses be-
fore January /, 1919, or fail to fill
its quota, figures compiled and made
public tday by the Red Cross show.
This Division has been asked to
supply 2,425 trained nurses for mil
itary hospitals here and abroad and
to date only 995 have been supplied.
OF the thirteen Red Cross Divi-
sions in the United States the South
western stands tenth in the percen-
tage of nurses supplied the Govern
ment. The Pacific Division, composed
Of California, Nevada and Arizona,
leads the list with a percentage of
81 per cent. Out of 1896 nurses that
are sought in the Pacific Division
the enrolment to date has reached
S99. The Atlantic Division, however
leads in the number of nurses en-
listed. The figues show that with a
quota of 5,708 this division has sup
piled $500 nurses. The Atlantic Divi-
sion is composed of New York, New
Jersey and Connecticut.
All Red Cross workers in the south
western division have been advised
to make personal appeals to trained
nurses in an effort to have them en-
list Immediately. Many nurses, now
in civilian hospitals, have
announced they are ready to enroll as
soon as student nurses can be found |
to take their places In this connec-
tion young women with high school
education have been asked to enlist
a. student nurses in civilian hspitals
1t has been estimated that there
are $4,000 trained nurses in the
United States. In April 1918, it was |
estimated that at least $1,000 would !
be needed for military service by !
January 1, 1919 Since that date the
American Red Cross has assigned |
about 1850 nurses leaving 1850
to be enrolled between now and Jan.
