EXPERIMENTING WITH LONG
STAPLE COTTON IN TERRELL
Present Condition of Weed Gives
Promise of Satisfactory Results.

Mr.. R. L. Saville, Dawson's popu-
lar banker, is experimenting with
long staple cotton on his farm east
of the city, and the present condition
of the weed gives promise of excel
lent results. The only drawback to
the cultivation Of this variety of cot
ton on the fertile farms of Terrell
county is the difficulty of getting it
into marketable shape. When it is
grown in sufficient quantity it is
highly probable that some enterpris-
ing citizen will arrange to handle the
crop satisfactorily.

SEATS
Do THEIR DUTY
Believe That the Owners Of Machines
Should Extend the Courtesy of
Their Autos TO Soldiers and Sailors
Whenever There Is a Spare Seat
in View.
(By Associated Press)

San Francisco, Jan. 15.-"Let the
spare seats in every automobile do
their duty
This is the slogan of the War
Camp Community Service committee
in this city in it's campaign to keep
the soldiers entertained. Every auto
mobile pilot who happens to see a
soldier going his way, and who has
a spare seat or two, is urged to give
the uniformed pedestrian a Gift"
An automobile recreation corps has
been organized and already has more
than 400 members. Each member car
ries an attractive card on his wind
shield wheeby every sailor and SOL
dier may know that the spare seats
in the machine belong to him.
In addition to in formal Gifts -
the members of the corps have set
aside regular days for automobile
spins. Rides for convalescents are
held on week days between the hours
of and 4:30 p. m. Others are en-
tertained in this fashion on Sunday
afternoons and evenings, beginning at
1:15 p. m. These regular rides start
from designated points, but there are
no set courses. Each may follow his
own bent in this regard.
The automobile recreation feature
is linked with many innovations in the
work of this service. Clubs gathering
dancing parties, week-ends, dinner
parties and many other forms of in
nocent amusement are being provided
for the soldiers, in order that camp
life will not "drag" and the thing
known as morale shall be kept at a
high standard.

WHITE PLAGUE IS
KILLING INDIANS
PHYSICIAN Who Has Attended the
Homboldt Indians for Many Years
Says They Are Gradually Going the
Way of Their Brethren in Other
Parts of the Country.
(By Associated Press)

Eureka, CAL, Jan. 16.-Tuberculo-
sis is threatening the early extinction
Of the Homboldt Indians despite the
efforts of the reservation physicians
to overcome the ravages of the dis
ease, according to DR.. Otto H. Rosen-
kranz, head of the medical department
of the Hoopa Indian reservation Of
the Klamath river.
During the eighteen months that
l have been on the reservation" says
DR.. Rosenkranz, "there have been 81
births and 36 deaths. Over one-half
of the deaths were due to tubercu-
losis. The Indians here are highly
susceptible to tuberculosis as well as
trachoma, the dreaded eye disease.
"The living conditions of the Indi-
ans outside of the reservation and
the general environment have much
to do with the spread of these mala-
dies. 1t has been observed repeated
ly that where member of an Indian
family has died of tuberculosis it is
only a matter of few years before
the entire family have been wiped
out by the disease.
"The chief value of the reservation
hospitals is in according them intel
igent treatment. Their chances Of
recovery are at the same time infin-
itely greater.
81 have now $50 Indian school chill
dren under observation. Over 3 per
cent have already developed symptoms
of active tuberculosis
DR.. Rosenbranz's observations are
borne out by records from other Sec
tiors of the county. In Eel Rive,
valley, where the Indians congregate
in huts along the river, making pre-
carious living by fishing and an occa-
sioral period of farm labor, tubercu-
1os:s takes it's annual toll. The pa
thetic feature of the problem is seen
in the fact that large families fre-
qucntly follow Indian marriages, con-
stitutional weakness exercising no re-
straining influence.

followed suit had South Omaha proved
successful. The saving to the live
stock interests Of the country in this
matter alone would run into mil
lions."
The committee urged every COOP
Grafton between stock raisers and the
food administration, and recomend-
ed that al 1.-The members of the as
ociation take hearty interest in the
lprogres sof the meat investigation.
TO provide finances for work n>sup-
port of this inquiry, it suggested that
the voluntary subscriptions be taken,
the former plan assessing members of
ubsidiary stockmen's associations
half a cent for each head of stock
they own having proved unsuccess-
full.
Concerning the licenses of packers,
recently put into effect by the gov
ernment, the report said this action
lis what we have. wanted for years.
A close relation" it asserted, "should
be maintained between prices of live
stock on foot and dressed" 1t con-
itinued: "Big declines in price on foot
should be reflected promptly in cor
responding declines in wholesale prices
of meat"
"There seems to be something
wrong in the operation Of this very
simple principle. 1t is one of the
important things which should be
checked at frequent intervals"
Summarizing market conditions, the
report said there was a tremendous
shortage of hogs, moderate short
age of sheep and liberal supplies of
cattle in the United States, and there
is no danger of any other country
invading the American stockman's
market for some time to come owing
to shipping shortages.

MEATLESS DAYS
Opening Sessions of Annual Livestock
Convention in Salt Lake City Are
Pervaded With Expressions of Good
Will Toward Hoover and His As
sistants.
(By Associated Press)

Salt Lake City, Jan. 15.-Immedi-
ate need of broader field for dis
posal of beef, mutton and lamb, if
production of those meats is not to
be reduced, was asserted in the re-
port of the market committee of the
American Livestock Association, pre-
sented to the twenty-first. annual
meeting of that body here today.
The report praised the food admin
istration, commended David F. Hous-
ton, secretary of agriculture, for his
efforts to prevent speculation in
necessaries due to the war, and gave
hearty approval to the federal food
investigation now being carried on
by. the Federal Trade Commission
with special reference to ieat. E. l..
Burke of Omaha, Neb., chairman of
the committee, read the report.
The recommendations of the COM
mittee were that the work it had
commenced be prosecuted vigorously;
that the incoming market committee
bear in mind evisting war conditions
and "omit no act that will help win
the war; that the same powers be
given the new committee as those of
the retiring one, and several techni-
cal proposals.
Listing accomplishments of the
committee, the report said:
at secured the investigation of the
packers by the Federal Trade Commits
sion, assisted by the Department of
Agriculture. The committee furnished
the Federal Trade Commission with
suggestions and assistance.
"The committee, assisted by G. F.
Wattles, federal food administrator
for Nebraska, secured withdrawal of
a schedule of commissions at South
, Omaha which advanced prices for
< selling amounting to 25 per cent on
cattle; A per cent on hogs, and as
much as so per cent on sheep. The
increase for South Omaha alone, if
it had been allowed to stand, would
have amounted to more than $45O,000
per annum, based on 1916 receipts.
