Farmers Win Slightly

Selby Littrell returned from
Washington the latter part of
last week and told the Farm AS
sociation Saturday at the court
house many interesting things.
Mr.. Littrell has hope that stock
feeders will be encouraged by
the food administration.
Below is an article touching on
the subject.
l. The food administration
has from its initiation, and does
now, heartily subscribe to the
principle that the producers of
food necessary to the carrying
on of the war, the feeding of
our armies, the armies of the
allies, our civil population and
the civil population of the allies,
should have. in addition to the
cost of production, a fair and
reasonable profit. The food ad-
ministration recognizes and has
recognized the difficulties that
surround the industry of feeding
cattle during the next few
months, and will do what it
properly can through the buy.
ing agencies of the governments
to relieve the situation by in
creasing the proportion of pur-
chases of higher grades of beef.
In stating the principle above,
it must be recognized that it is
not in the practical powers of
the food administration to give
guarantees to producers without
legislative action.
2. The food administration
will select a man to be added to
the staff of the chief of the meat
division who shall have practical
knowledge of meat production,
such persons to be selected from
a list of names to be submitted
by the gentlemen present in
Washington representing the
live stock feeders in the corn
belt.
3. The food administration
that for demonstration
of the situation and guidance of
the government an independent
tribunal should determine the
cost of producing meat.

BUSINESS BLOCK BURNT
Six Business Houses In Ashes
Nearly $4,000 Loss
North Side Saved

day night the alarm of fire was
sounded by the stentorian voice
of John Martin, colored, and the
central telephone office got busy
ringing up those who were en-
dangered as well as all others
who could be reached until the
wires were put out Of commiss-
ion.
The second greatest fire ever
in the history Of the city was
caused, supposedly by rubbish
in the rear of the warehouse a
part of r. j. HALEY big grocery
store and connected with the
main building, or in the area
way between that warehouse
and the one at the rear of Chas.
Schell jr. grocery store, opinions
differing, but at any rate, the
Haley warehouse was the first
to get all ablaze and then the
| jig was up for the entire block
to the vacant lot next east of
the Farmers Bank.
In two hours time. in spite of
fire walls between each of the
buildings and the further fact
that there was scarcely any
wind, approximately $35000
worth of merchandise and store
rooms had gone up in smoke and
several of our most enterprising
merchants were badly crippled
financially tho their insurance
will about square them on the
books of creditors.
The work of saving the entire
business section of town was of
necessity of the hardest kind
and many who had not a dollar
to lose by the fire, labored most
energetically for the unfortu-
mates. No water within easy
distance and little anywhere,
buckets delayed and want of
organization retarded the fight
at first but once under way and
squads on duty at vital points,
the block north of the burning
section was miraculously saved
and the escape of the block next
west in which The Great Fav-
orite Weekly is located is to be
accounted for by the persistent
work of several who took up
their stands In the rear of the
block and extinguished blazes
started by flying embers, the
outbuiidings, rubbish and weeds
and some old rookeries offering
tinder for the continuation of
destruction to the dwellings to
the north side of town.
The fact that more merchan-
disc was not saved is to be ac-
counted for by the intense smoke
which got into the rear of the
burnt buildings before fire was
in the buildings. Opening the
front doors the salvagers would
be met with a most penetrating |
and nauseating smoke and fore
ed out, tho everything, even to
the stove was saved from the
Red Cross room and considerable
from the harness shop of Otto
Evertz, the last building destroy
ed and and which had withstood
three former big fires.
Perhaps the worse losses fell
on Bob HALEY, Charlie Schell
and A. ]. Byerly. HALEY and
Schell had been home in bed
some time when the fire broke
out and Mrs. Byerly was awak-
ened by shouts of fire after
headway had been attained by
the blaze. HALEY reached the
store and made a desperate dive
for his account books which he
recovered in part, the only thingIl
from his store and that
