LOWELL BOY WINS HONORS

The following from an exchange will be of interest to many readers of The News in view of the fact that the parents of Col Davis are both well known in Springdale:
 Col Joseph R. Davis of Lowell, Ben ton county, son of Mr and Mrs. L. P. Davis, is one of the youngest colonels of the American army in France, but that IS not his only claim of distinc- tion. Since going to France little more than year ago, he has received three promotions for meritorous con- duet and was cited by Gen. Pershing for "gallantry in action at Chateau Thierry
 Since his graduation from West Point in 1905, Colonel Davis has had an eventful military career Soon after his graduation he was sent to the Philippines, where he served two years. He was then stationed at various military posts in this country until 1911, when he was again sent to the Philippines, and again served two years He was then givtn an extended leave of absence, during which he visited China and Japan and the countries of Europe.
 He served under General Pershing during the Mexican border troubles and went with him to France with the first contingent of the American army sent over early in 1918 From the time the Americans took over a sector of the western battle front un- til the armistice went into effect, he was continually on the firing line.
 At the time he went to France, he held the rank of captain, but was soon commissioned major He was pro- noted at Chateau Thierry and again at St Mihiel, and is now colonel, in command of the 18th Field Artillery of the Second Division of the Army of Occupation. This division is said to have lost more than 30 per cent of it's officers and men since the allied offensive began last July.

WANTS TO GIVE
 BOYS WELCOME
Governor Trough Asks War Depart Inent to Return l42nd Field Artii- fery Home Intact.


 Little Rock, March I-Govornor Brough has written to the secretary of war urging that the Hand Field Artillery and the 111th Sanitary Train the only units of the old First Arkansas Regiment that remain intact n France, be returned to Camp Pike as 2 whole after being returned to the United States, So that a demon- str&5ion maa be accorded them before the men are discharged.
 The governor said that thus far no units composed entirely of Arkansas men have been returned intact to their home state, whereas several other states have been given opportunities to stage demonstrations in honor of their native fighters.
 The two units that remain intact in France formerly were with the 39th Division at Camp Beauregard, Alex andrla, La. They left the United States about seven months ago, but 1io i4ot See de1INe SeINlce. ne l1ZHa Field Artillery is commanded by Col. William G. Ownbey of Springdale, the 114th Sanitary Train is commanded by Major j. R. Wayne of Little Rock.
 Parts of the 154th Infantry, Hist Machine Gun Battalion, 114th Ammu- milton Train and the 114th Supply Train still are in France, but the units have been broken up and the men transferred to other organizations. They also formerly were with the old First Arkansas Some of the men from these organizations have been returned to the United States and dis charged.

PRESIDENT BALKED
 ON S10,O00 GIFT
First Trip Abroad Cost President About $2,006, Winch Was Spent Mostly in Tips and Presents.

WASHINGTON. March 1-Presi- dent Wilson's first trip to Europe cost haa in the neiebbofbood of S2,ooo out Of his=oua pocket. His second trip VIII cost him about the same amount.
 The President was unable to make any great best5Wafs such as that of President Poiuea1e of S2o.o0o b ser wants of Che Car #in Petroerad or Slo,900 to the royal household of Sweden. The Presidents money was scattered in small tips of $25 and $50 to porters in trains at hotels and in the places he visited. He also spent considerable money in buying presents for attendants for Mrs. Will son, himself and his staff. Framed photographs of himself constituted his faVorite gift, with gold cuff links running close second
 There was apparently no embar-
  plicity in which the President tray eled, except when in Rome. There the President was politely informed that 1t was customary for visiting rulers to contribute $10,0O0 to a fund for the poor of the city. Persons in the Presidents party say he was somewhat taken aback at the news, but replied that II he made such q present he would have to take the money from his own pocket. This he did not feel able to do Persons who discussed the matter with him said that he was sorry, but that the State Department had not authorized him to make any presents on behalf of the government.
 In any case the President will testi- fly now that it is far cheaper to travel in Europe on a bicycle as he did years ago, than to make the tour in state e the President of this republic.

A COW TESTING
 ASSOCIATION URGED
County Agent Backstrom Sends Out Communication to Dairynen of Washington County.

We have at the present time in Washington County approximately 200 farmers who are in the dairy business in a small way, at least, and 5his number Is steadily increasing t would mean great saving to these men if they had the following record on each of their cows:
 l. Number Of pounds of milk pro duced each month.
 2 Betterfat test of the milk each month.
 }. The value of her produc. each month.
 | The profit or loss each month.
 ). The amount and cost of her feed each month
 Most dairy men would like to have such record, but they say that 1t is too much work to keep such record. There is one successful way to secure such a record with scarcely any work on the part of the individual dairy man, and at very small cost. Or ganize a Cow-Testing Association.
 h COW testing association is an or ganization of farmers who hire a man to spend one day each month with each member keeping a record like the above He does all the extra work connected with keeping this re- cord. so useless" work is not needed from the farmers The advantages are as follows:
 l. One knows whether or not the cow pays her board No guessing.
 2. One has record from which to build up ones herd from the best cows Think this over.
 8. Ones record will tell which cows to sell and which to keep Guess work will not. Think about this.
 4 Purebred calves are poor sellers where there are no records behind them of their dams production. There are demands for calves when such records are kept and are known to be good. Think what this means.
 ,. Being a member of such an as soeiation will increase ones interest in his cows from 100 to 300 per cent and will increase the profits greatly above the expense Think One has has only one thought-the need of a coW-testing association
 IL is now time to improve our dairy herds and build them up so that Wash ington County will get the name of having profitable and high produc- ing dairy cattle. Why wait longer :? There is no better time than now to begin improving our dairy cattle.
 The writer is sure that fully fifty pef cent of the dairy COWS in this county are not profitable cows. Let's weed out our poor cows and make U solid paying dairy business
 \ eow-testing association takes the guess work out of dairying. The camouflage of fine appearance can not protect the low producing dairy COW. Confirmation indicates per formance, but the Babcock test and the milk scales always tell the true story. Knowing the true feed and production records of each COW, the dairy man can practice selective breeding eliminate with certainty all How producers and feed the remainder according to known production. If you are interested in framing a cow-testing association, command my assistance and that of the dairy specialist.
 Yours very truly,
 J. F. Baekstrom, County Agent

OBJECTIONS TO
BANKING BILL
DISAPPEAR|N
Farmers and Bankers Get.
ting Together to Patch
Up Differences Relative
to Senate File.
From a Staff Correspondent.

Lincoln, March ZZ.-(Special. -
Farmers and bankers in the legisla-
ture and outside may patch up their
difference over S. F. No. 244, the
bill intended to limit the organiza-
ton of new banks'in Nebraska and
give it their combined support when
amended to meet objections of the
former. A conference looking to-
ward such an agreement was held at
the Lindell hotel Friday afternoon,
after the bill had been laid over in
the house without action. Those
present were:
Representative H. K. Frantz, Cass
county, and Jesse Palmer, for the
bankers; Representatives Osterman,
Hodges and Harry Johnson and c.
H. Gustafson, president of the State
Farmers union, for the rural inter-
ests. Several proposed amendments
% the bill were discussed.
Osterman, as spokesman for the
farmers, said there would be meet
ing of their members in the legisla-
ture next Monday evening, and
whatever might be tentatively
agreed upon would have to go be-
fore that meeting FIR approval. He
indicated, however. that the farmers
are Just as anxious as the bankers to
stamp out wildcat banking and do
away with the promoting feature OF
that business.
Position Taken BY Farmers.
AS between the original senate
bill allowing the State Banking
board discretionary power to refuse
charters to new banks, and the Fill
ley substitute offered in the house
with Governor McKelvics 0. K,
which provides that d new bank
must do business for three years
before it can come under the pro-
lection of the guaranty law, the
farmers made it plain that they
would rather take the former as
basis to begin with than the latter.
THAT three-year clause is abso-
lutely prohibitive against the new
banks, asserted Osterman and Gus
tafson. "The people have great

Upturns In the corn market obtained
their momentum largely from the fact
that at first the outlook seemed to be
for a continued bulge in quotations on
rye and barley. Seaboard exporters were
for both rye and barley than on yester-
day. Later. however, gossip became cur
rent that the government would dispose
of its stock Of rye and would abandon a
project to send the grain to Europe.

Oats merely reflected the action of corn.
Provisions developed strength. not
withstanding sales that were ascrbed to

the temporary ascent Of corn were the
chief incentives to buy.
Subsequently, the market was strength

Last Of Five French
Warships in American
Waters Is Recalled

New York, March 22.-The cruis-
err Gloire, the last of fleet of five
French warships soAt to American
waters early last year and placed
under command OF Vice Admiral Al
bert Gleaves to have a part in the
conveying and protecting of Amer
lean cargo transports, left here last
night for France.
The unheralded departure of this
cruiser, carrying Rear Admiral
Grout, the commanding officer Of
the fleet, brought to a close little
known incident of the great war
which reflects the unity of action
between the allied powers and the
United States.
The duties of these ships were to
take their turn with American war
vessels in the conveying of the Bay,
of Biscay American ships carrying
supplies for the American army, and
which on this duty one of them, the
Dupetit Thouars, paid the supreme
price-falling a victim to a German
submarine last August as it was ap-
preaching her port of destina ton.
