morning. The board has been unable "a zee

SO far have taken no action with reference
to raising their quota in the channel fund
Of $125, 900.
1t was also announced last night that

. o'clock Monday morning, at which time
matters in connection with the channel i'm
provement will be discussed. During that

him that the Lower Rio Grande Valley has
met the initial demand i'm the harbor inn
provement proposition.
It was stated yesterday that IL will not
be the policy of those active In the move
ment to turn over to the government any
of the money until the work OF construction
has actually started, nor Is II anticipated
that the government viii ask for the pay
u.
1t Is assumed here that the work or trans
forming the dredge 50 as to fit II for the
work to be done here has required some lit
tie time, and that perhaps there has been
delay for that reason. There has 20 far
been no word from the war department i'm
connection with the Valleys guarantee. for
warded some weeks ago. lending the belief
here that the guarantee Is actually accepted
with the notification that the first payment

mand of the government
ID. A. O'Brien, president OF the Rio

that II will standardize its line OF railroad
from Brownsville to Point Isabel has been
absent from the city the past two weeks,
and is reported to be making arrangements
to begin actual construction on the line
Mr.. O'Brien. other than announcing that he
has furnished the necessary guarantees for
the building OF the line and the maintain
ance Of the channel that Is to be built by
Valley funds, has made no announcements
i'm this connection. The first guarantee
was accepted BY the government, and the
second is now before the war department
engineers for their approval.
II Is said that the rebuilt road will not
follow the route Of the present line, but
will be built along higher ground to avoid
the large amount of trestling now in use
along the Rio Grande railway. More def
mite information is expected to be given out
by Mr.. O'Brien upon his return to the

A TOM SAWYER INCIDENT
IN LONDON SUPPLY DEPOT

The American Red Cross supply de-
pot at Knightsbridge, London, was
having a busy time the other day, and
the cases already packed had over
flowed on to the side walk in front
of the building. Workers with brush
es and red paint were stencilling the
red crosses in the boards when a pas
sing American soldier stopped, hest
tated a moment, and then said to one
helper:
"say, Bud, I'm beating it back to
camp, but I'd like to do one of those"
Why sure" was the CHEEKY reply
and paint and brushes were handed
over to the volunteer.
The Red Cross man watched the
vigorous strokes for a few minutes.
then smiled as his memory went back
over a somewhat similar book which
was a favorite of his childhood days.
"Say, Yank," he grinned, "have you
ever heard of a book called Tom Saw
yer?'"
"Read Il a hundred times" replied
the soldier. "But there's no Tom Saw.
yer about this stunt. You see, the Rec
Cross has done so much for me that
l thought l would like to give it q
hand"
And he beat it instantly.

IUTHERANS JOIN IN
RECONSTRUCTION WORK
Congress Held in Washington Last
Week Marks New Period in
Life of Church.

Last week a Lutheran congress was
held in Chicago that is believed to be
historic and mark a new period IN the
life of the Lutheran church OF TINS
country and the world.
The congress was called by the Ma
tional Lutheran Council to organize a
$500, 900 reconstruction-servlce cam
paign. The greater portion OF the
fund is intended for overseas service.
For there are millions of our own peo-
pie in France, Finland and other u
tries in Europe, who now have a right
to look to us above all others for help.
The sections of Europe in which the
Lutheran church is strong are today
engulfed in chaos. Apart from the
anarchy that obtains, the Lutheran
churches of Europe till now have been
under state control, and are for that
reason little prepared to cope with the
present dissolution Of ordered society
1t is said that the disintegration OF
the Lutheran church of Europe would
be the severest blow to Professionalism
because it involves more than so mil
lion people in every country of Eu'
rope.
Lutheran leaders of America hole
that the American Lutheran church
can and must cope with the situation
They point to the fact that it ha:
developed a strong, vigorous church
life, independent of state control ant
state aid, that it has carried the re
formation ideal of spiritual democ
racy into successful and effective op
GRAFTON. They consider it to be thu
hand Of Providence that while thu
church was divided till recently, tn
war emergency and the need of fol
lowing the 100000 Lutheran boys il
the army, welded the separate part:
together into an effective, powerful
unity. Today they believe it stand:
ready and is in a position to meet un
selfishly the greatest call for service
and leadership that has come to (;
church body in modern times. The!
feel that it can and must bring to tn
Lutheran churches Of Europe the spir
itual democracy it has developed here
that it must counsel, guide and assis
them into that independent, demo
cratic, ordered church-life which char
acterizes the Lutheran church 0

RUSSIA TO SEE "MOVIES" OF
AMERICAN FARMING METHODS

The United States department OF
agriculture has supplied to the COM
mittee on public information more
than 20 motion pictures showing ag-
ricultural production, highway con-
struction and forest work in this coun-
try, to be sent to Russia, at the re-
quest of the Russian Primorskoye Pro-
vincal Zemstvo, for use in depicting
the advanced practices in these activ-
tiles in America.
The Russian communication asking
for the American motion pictures says
in part
"The restoration of Russia as a
powerful state on an economically
sound basis can be accomplished only
by means of development of her pro-
ductive powers. This, in turn, could
be made possible only by applica'
ton in every branch of economical ac-
tivity of the most modern machinery
and methods of production.
AS the vast majority of our people
especially of the rural districts, are
intellectually not sufficiently prepar'
ed for the general application of more
advanced methods and modern machin'
cry, a thoroughly organized propa'
ganda of this is considered by the
Zemstvo as one of the most urgent
needs of the moment as an essen
tial part of which it considers the NOV
ing picture, showing various process
ses of industries and agriculture, sam
plies of various machinery and nipple
ments for their demonstration in &C
ual work, and so on. All this We
can not expect from anywhere but
from the United States; and the soon
err we could obtain these material:
the greater would be their service

CATTLE DEHORNING
METHODS DEMONSTRATED
The Why of Dehorning.

The Why of Dehorning.
Dehorning makes an animal more
easily handled.
It renders the animal less danger
Gus to attendants.
It prevents the goring of other cat
tie in the feed lot or in transit to mar
ket.
It adds uniformity to the appear
ance of cattle and thereby adds to
their value.
Methods of dehorning cattle have
been the subject of unusually inter-
esting demonstrations held by cat
tie specialists of the United States
department of agriculture, cooperat-
ing with other extension forces. The
demonstrations showed how to remove
horns with clippers and saws, and the
use of caustic soda and caustic potash
to prevent the growth of horns on
calves.
Dehorning chutes, for holding cat
tie while being dehorned were also
constructed by the demonstrators, who
emphasized the Importance of using
them instead of resorting to such
methods as throwing the animals with
ropes, tying them to fences, or SINH
lar unsatisfactory methods. In a
number of cases farmers were permit
ted to dehorn one or two animals to
become familiar with the operation.
The method of dehorning depends
in each cas- upon the age of the cat
tie, specialists of the department say.
Demonstrations with young calves
showed how the growth of horns can
be prevented by properly applying
%caustic soda or caustic potash. Older
calves and other cattle were dehorn-
ed with the saw or clippers.
While clippers remove the horn
more quickly and with less pain to
the animA the saw has the advan-
tage of not crushing the horn, es-
pecially in the case of old animals
whose horns are hard and brittle.
Neither does the saw cause as much
: bleeding: since by decorating the blood
|, vessels it causes a clot of blood to
y form quickly.
