BEAT FRENCH GUN RECORD
Americans Faster With 7ss Than
Their Teachers.

Washington, Feb. o-Praise OF the
state of efficiency reached by Ameri-
can gunners in their training with the
famous French. 75s was received to-
day from French artillery officer
who has just arrived in Washington
to Join an official mission. He said
many of the American batteries have
exceeded the best records made by
French gunners using the "75s" since
that weapon was adopted.
The officer described the work of
one squad which several times fired
thirty rounds minute as being the
subject of comment throughout the
French armies. Four men comprise
this squad, one working the breech
and one the lanyard, while the other
two were occupied entirely in passing
ammunition and loading. So nearly
exact were the movements of each
member, the French officer said, that
it was impossible to distinguish the
slightest variation in the intervals be-
tween each shot over a stretch of
several minutes.

u. S. to Have Bigger Navy.

Washington, Feb 8.--Secretary
Daniels said in speech at the Ma
tional Press Club tonight that the
time was coming when President
Wilson's dream uttered at St. Louis
will be realized.
That the United States shall have
incomparably the greatest navy in the
world"
This result" he said, will be ac-
complished with the aid of Henry
Ford and some other gentlemen"
Mr.. Daniels spoke briefly at a pri-
vate exhibition of official pictures OF
the navy since the war began as hav-
ing been filled with glory.
Il do not believe" he said, that
any other organization in the world
is SO filled with the spirit of enthus-
iasm and team work. From the new
est recruit to the youngest admiral
for we have no old admirals and the
navy is boy organizaton-they are
eager to continue the great record
made in protecting the country"

CATTLE DYING
BY THOUSANDS
PLOT SUSPECTED
Texas, Arizona, and New Mexico
Herd Owners May Appeal to
u. s.

Ell Paso, Tex, Feb. 9.--It is pos.
sible that an appeal will be made to
the government to investigate the al
legged poisoning of stock on ranges
of New Mexico, Arizona, and western
Texas. This action is expected to fol-
low the request made to state author
tiles by the cattlemen who are heavy
losers through the loss Of cattle
1t is estimated that 1000 head OF
cattle are dead. The loss is attributed
to some mysterious poison and, be.
cause of the rapid spread of the death
area. the cattlemen are inclined to be-
lieve that the poison is being admin
istered by human agencies. Natural
ly suspicion is directed to a possible
plot of the Germans to strike at the
Government in this manner, although
At present there is no definite infor-
nation to prove that such conspir-
acy exists.

BIG HORSE AND MULE SALE
The Argenbright Sale Saturday Was
Record Breaker-The Re-
ceipts of the Sale Were
More Than 100000.

The Argenbright horse and mult
sale held in this city Saturday was in
many respects record breaker
There was a record breaking crowd
in attendance. The animals brought
record breaking prices and the sale
was made in record breaking time.
AT 1880 Co.. c. E. Robbins, the auc-
tioneer, opened the proceedings with
a few remarks and the sale was ON.
The bidding was snappy from the
start and in four hours the entire Of
fering of 81 horses and over I25 mules
were sold, the receipts being over
$4,000. Teams OF work mules sold
for as high as $4,000, $625.oo, 627. 50.
Yearling mules brought as high as
$4,000 per span and 20 head of mule
colts averaged $1,000.
Mr.. Argenbright,. who is perhaps
the leading mule buyer of this section
of the country, was more than salts
fled with the result of the sale which
demonstrated that the raising of
mules is very remunerative business
at the present time.

SEES NO TAX INCREASE
Governor Gardner Hopeful as to New
Assignments.

Jefferson City, Feb. o.-Taxes are
not to be higher in Missouri because
the assessments on all taxable prop
erty have been greatly increased,
Governor Gardner asserts. Instead
tax levies. are to be reduced so the
total tax paid by the individual will
be approximately what it has been in
other years.
The governors purpose in calling
a special session of the legislature is
for the enactment OF laws which will
lower the maximum levies which may
be established by counties, municipal
tiles. school districts and other tax
levying authorities. If the tax levies
were left at present figures it is est-
mated the state would have an addi-
tional E million rollars in revenue, SO
sharp has been the boost in the as
sessment OF property.
The new revenue measures passed
by the last legislature will yield t.
the state 3 million dollars, the gov
ernor estimates. One million dol
lars of this amount will go to the
school, the other million into the
general revenue funds.
The new demands for money to
care for the increased activities of the
state can be met with these million
dollars, the governor believes. e.
Other state officials are not as op-
timistic as Colonel Gardner as to the
to be derived from the new
revenue laws, which include the inner
itance, income, franchise and corpor-
alton tax measures. These laws prob
ably have not been in operation long
enough so that a close estimate can
be made on what they will yield.
