athletic field at Maplewood park, was
also left with the directors. The re-
port of the treasurer showed that the
affairs of the association were in a

the 1918 fair showed a slight deficit,
owing to the large amount of money
spent this year for improvements,
which will make possible much

FEED RULE MUST NOW BE
MORE RICHLY ENFORCED

A. D. Wilson, Federal Administrator
has asked that hereafter General Rufe
23 forbidding combination sales Of food
stuffs be rig idly enforced with regard
to sales of wheat feed. 1t is fact that
millers throughout the state have been
forcing the sales of various coarse grain
by-products by requiring purchasers
to buy these articles with wheat mill
leeds, because of the fact that the price
s,f the wheat feeds is fixed and the price
of the other grain by-products is not.
The official order reads:
Feeding stuffs section asks that
General Rule % forbidding combination
sales of food stuffs be enforced in regard
to all sales Of wheat feed in combination
with other feed stuffs whether by manu-
facturers to wholesalers or jobbers or
bv the latter to retailers and consumers.
The rule shall not however, be inter-
preted to prevent a dealer or consumer
from purchasing an assorted car Of feed.
This rule is desirable with view to per
hitting certain by-products to seek
their natural level Of prices dependent
upon law Of supply and demand.

BROWNING GUN is THE
FINEST GUN IN WORLD
The New Machine Gun Is the Weapou
American Troops Will Go "Over
the Top With"

Washington, March 4.-The latest
American contribution to warfare,
the Browning automatic rife, was
officially introduced to congress at a
demonstration staged in a remote
valley the hills that surround this
city. For more than two hours the
air was filed with the snarl and
crash Of the firing, senators and re-
presentatives operating the new
weapon for themselves under the
direction of a squad OF soldiers from
the machine gun school at Spring
field, Mass.
High army officials, including AS
sistant Secretary Crowell, Major
General Priddle, acting chief OF
staff, and a score of officers from the
British, French, Italian and Belgium
missions, watched the demonstration
with keen interest.
There was no target practice, al
though a line of figures shaped like
men was battered to pieces by the
squad OF 10 gunners. Members OF
congress also scored repeated hits
although it was the first time any
OF them had handled a weapon OF
this character.
AS to the performance OF the 10
guns used. there was not stoppage
or malfunction, despite the fact
that hundreds OF rounds were fired
and the squad from the school had
never seen the guns before last Sat
urday.
When firing with the automatic
rifles was completed, two Browning

The Spanish railroads have been
in poor condition for long time.
Cut off to a large extent from mate
rials to make repairs, the govern
ment has been unable to keep the
roads efficient. This situation was
given by the Spanish government as
it's reason for refusing to ship any
thing into France. The embargo
stopped the shipment OF mules,
blankets and other supplies General
Pershing had ordered. The United
States will let Spain have general
railroad supplies and particularly
parts to put Spanish locomotives in
good repair. A shipment of lubri-
eating oil for immediate necessities
already has been authorized.
The agreement proposed by the
United States would give Spain ade-
quate supplies Of cotton and petro-
leum. and in addition would provide
for the export of such other com

King Alfonso has taken a personal
interest in the negotiations between
the United States and Spain and has

Two Thousand Men Taken From
Army Camps and $4,000 Get De-

Washington, March Through
the efforts of the emergency feet
corporation, 1000 shipworkers
drafted into the military service
have been returned to the yards.
Thirty thousand workers, subject to
call. have been placed in the deferred
classification lists and will remain
there as long as they are engaged in
ship construction.
The men returned to the yards
were all taken from camps and can
tonments as the war department has
thus far declined to give up men who
already have been sent to France.
The fleet corporation is seeking an
arrangement with the army for the
return OF workers who volunteered
for service of which there are said
to be several thousand now in the
various branches. Great Britain
was forced to draw from her armies

A PACT WITH SPANISH
Plans to Rehabilitate Spain's Rail-

Washington, March 4.-Rehabili,

tenn is planned by the United States
to make possible the shipment OF
large quantities of supplies from
Spain to General Pershing's forces

An offer of American railway ma
terials has been made as part of
negotiations the United States is
conducting to induce Spain to lift
her embargo against the shipment
Of goods into France, placed, accord
ing to the Spanish government, be-
cause Of the broken down condition
of her roads.
While final agreement has not

gotiations. it was said today, is near
and Spain again has been notified
that all Spanish ships held in Ameri-
can ports are free to sail as soon as
they discharge the parts Of their car
goes for which licenses have been
denied or revoked. 1t was reiterated
that there is no disposition to hold
Spanish ships to exert pressure on
the negotiations. There are now in
American ports some six Spanish
steamers and half as many sailing
ships.
The American government, in it's
latest proposal to Spain, has asked
for the use of considerable Spanish
tonnage on terms similar to those on
which it obtained ships owned by the
northern European neutrals. This
tonnage would be paid for at high
rate and for the most part would
be used by the United States in the
non hazardous trades.
The war trade boards plan for re-
ducing imports calls for consider
able cut in the importation of Span
ish products. AS the American gov
