NEED OF TROOP SHIPS
America Must Send Home 1,700,-
900 and England More Than
Six Hundred Thousand
Passenger Space for Transporting the
Soldiers Home Is Occupying the
Attention of the Allied Ship
ping Controllers.

London.-There will be no shortage
of cargo tonnage for supplying world
needs during the first half of 1919, in
the opinion of Edward N. Hurley,
chairman of the United States ship
ping board. 1t is passenger space for
transporting troops home that is oc-
cupying attention of the allied snip
ping controllers. No nation can have
as much of that cargo as it wants now
After comforting with industrial and
shipping heads in England and France
and viewing large part of the battle
areas of France and Belgium, Hurley
stated that it would take at leasN SIX
months, possibly more, for France and
England to rehabilitate their indus
tries to the point where large amounts
of raw material would be needed
1t is pointed out that it would be
useless to send industrial machinery
and raw material to France until her
destroyed factory buildings are MADE
ready to receive them.
The 32 German passenger vessels IN
German ports have been the center OF
most of the allied shipping discussions
on this side. Americans want all OF
them they can get to send home l.
700 900 men as soon as possible. Eng
land must send home to Canada about
800, 900, to Australia about 100000 TO
New Zealand $4,000 or more, and
bring to England thousands from Me-
sopotamia, Palestine and other places.

Cooperative bull associations are
formed by the farmers for the joint
ownership, use, and exchange of pure
bred bulls. The purchase price and
cost Of maintenance are distributed
according to the number OF COWS
owned by each, thereby giving the
farmer an opportunity to build up
his herd without great expense. The
organization also helps Its members
to market dairy stock and dairy
products, to fight contagious dis.
eases OF cattle intelligently, and in
other ways to assist in improving the
dairy industry.
The bull association does not give
something for nothing, but with an
outlay of $50 or less can furnish a
share in Ave pure bred bulls. The
bulls cannot increase the production
Of the cows in a herd, but they may
double the production of their
daughters.
