TEXANS DECIDE To
stop USING WHEAT
NO MORE UNTIL NEXT HARVEST,
Is PLEDGE OF LARGER PART OF
POULATION, HERBERT HOOVER
10 INFORMED.

WASHINGTON May 3.-Nearly the
whole population of Texas has pledged
itself to use no nome wheat until af-
ter the next harvest. The state food
administrator there has sent tele-
gram to Mr.. Hoover saying:
Three hundred and twenty-five
federal district and county foor admin
istrators of Texas in conference, pledge
you their answering devotion, the
steadfast service for God and country,
to the end that our bread may sustain
ctr gallant troops and our glorious al
les. We are enlisted for the period
of the war. Gen. Parshing's cable
greatly stimulated our enthusiastic de-
termination to organize 100000 Tex
ans into effective line of defense"
He also wired that patriotic senti-
ment has crystalized SO firmly behind
the food conservation campaign that
he feels justified in giving the assur-
ance of total abstinence from wheat
use for the state until the new crop
arrives.
The movement to forego wheat
originated in some counties which
cabled Gen. Pershing telling him of
the course that, citizens of the state
were willing to take to help win the
war The reply of Cen Pershing, ex>
pressing his appreciation of these as
surances, has aroused so much fervor
that the movement has spread to the
entire state.

BRITISH DESERTERS
HERE FACE PENALTY
Wholesale Arrests to be Made Soon,
SAYS Vice Consul in Boston.

BOSTON, May 8. Wholesale
arrests for desertion from the British
and Canadian armies will be made
in this country in a short time says the
vice-Consul in this city, who has
charge of rounding up deserters.
In an official statement tonight he
points out that the term deserter ap-
plies not only to those men who have
been in uniform and have seen some
army service but also to those who
registered under the Compulsory
Service Law, and later crossed over
the line or sailed overseas and failed
to return when summoned to the
colors.
I'VE have a most complete list OF
| both classes of deserters from the
british Army now prepared for all the
| New England district" he says, "and
are ready to send several hundred
OF them to Canada under guard. Ev-
ery one will be court martialed on his
| return to Canada and sentenced to
prison at hard labor.
IF they surrender now it will not
go so hard with them, as otter a
period of disciplinary punishment
they will be allowed to return to
| their units"

/" Who Will Win
This Battle 2"

Your kidneys are the filters of the body.
If they become inactive and fail to elm
mate the waste matter, they are apt to
throw the whole mechanism of the body
out of order, thus toxic poisons can ac-
cumulate in the system and be as deadly
as snake venom.
Besides causing the minor ailments of
rheumatism, sciatica, lumbago and back
ache, neglect of the kidneys is apt to
develop into more serious diseases, such
as diabetes or stone in the bladder
Rid the body of toxic poisons - clean
the bladder and kidneys and cure the
twinges of rheumatism with Anuric
, and you win the battle of life.
Annric was first discovered by DIR. Pierce,
and has benefited thousands of sufferers
as well as appeased and eliminated the
ravages of the more serious kidney dis
eases. Now procurable at any good drug

LOOKS LIKE REAL
HILARIOUS SEASON
BY H. c. HAMILTON

Il
UNITED Press Staff Correspondent
NEW YORK. May 3-Baseball
avowedly was entering the crucial
period of it's two wartime seasons
when it started off this year, and the
result has been anything but pleasing
10 the pessimistic forecasters who saw
nothing but woe ahead. A stateemnt
printed in New York. purporting to
come from a high baseball officiai"
as much as anything to throw wave
Of gloom about their probabilities
OF the forthcoming season, but the
fans have swept it away in one mad
dash through the turnstiles of the maj
or league parks.
Looking the issue squarely in the
face, it appears now that baseball ac-
tually is going to have a hilarious
season, instead og a season replete
with Woe The prediction of the base
ball officials named in the foregoing
was that four big league baseball clubs
were tottering on the verge of ruin.
These same four cities have done their
share of sending the national game
successfully over the top for the in
auguration of this wartime season
T. interest shown on the opening day
keeps alive the remainder of the sea-
son baseball will have an average sea-
son to check up when the snow again
flies.
Tt has been argued ever since the
war started that the nation would be
in need of sports during the period
of the war. 1t was contended that
nothing void serve so well to take
tie minds of the masses off the gloomy
the big eastern colleges, baseball kept
its head up, and with no pretense Of
side of war-life, so baseball was look
ed on as the fulfillment of this need
probably more than any other sport.
When athletic games were staggering
around under the body blow dealt by
pessimism went on through the sea-
son. Minor leagues began to go I'M
der, and others promised that they
might also suffer the like fate. The
international gave up the ghost dur
ing the winter after refusing to listen
to a proposition which would have
saved it. But the big leauges kept
right on, and the testimonial given
by the fans proved these magnates
were right.
There have been sufficient recessions
in salaries and other expenses to save
in money that seems to be gone from
tie big league parks during the war.
Necessary war sacrifices have been
made in some quarters, while in 9TH
ers the magnates are operating with
the same pomp as in former days
Baseball however, will not die this
season. If the worst comes to the
worst, the 1919 season may be short
ened, but baseball is going on just as
certainly as spring and summer come
each year The start this season prov
ed the standing of the national game
as nothing else could have done.

FIVE DOLLAR BILLS SELL

The war cannot be fought with
paper money; we cannot wad up
a IS 90 bill and shoot it at the
Kaiser and do any damage; that
bill is merely demand for wheat,
or wool, or gasoline. or some other
material which our Government
actually needs to successfully win
the war, so the wise thing for us
to do Is not to spend money, but
oan it to the Government, get 4%

until recently resided precious
pair of criminals named Boida.
DR.. Lorenzo and his wife DR..
Rosa. Several weeks ago the
husband was arrested on two
charges of bastardy, and later
was indicted for attempting to
brlbe a judge. He was released on
bail and Immediately fled to parts
unknown. Last week his wife
was arrested for attempting to
commit criminal operation on a
girl, and is now languishing in
Jail awaiting her trial in the su-
perior court. There is no place
in this country for this class of
criminals, and the government
should take hold of the cases
after the state gets through with
them, and deport the Boidos as
undesirable citizens.

a fellow named West, who had
in their possession a couple of
cases of whiskey, and lodged the
men in jail to appear before
Judge Sampson for a preliminary
hearing. 1t was rumored several
days previous that a load of
whiskey had been brought into
the city, and the officers have
been on guard every night since
then hoping to get a clue as to
it's whereabouts, and who had it
in their possession. Last Sunday
night the officers vigil was re-
warded when they found the two
men going down an alley with
the whiskey in a couple Of sacks.
The man West was armed, and
when called to halt he flashed
his gun which was taken away
from him before he had time to
use it.

|pended for the erection, equip

the spiritual welfare of those who
go to battle, alleviate somewhat
the burdens, the discomforts, the
hatdships, the sorrows that must
be the their inevitable portion
while away from home. " To

wish, and payment should be
made regularly each month. The
lists will be permanently kept at
places to be announced later,
meanwhile L. j. Quinlan, and
