Mexican Sugar Are
Held Here in Bond

Chief OF police J. R. MONTGOMERY
has announced, as a result Of investi-
cations made himself. that Mexican
commission brokers have $4,000 sacks
Of sugar stored here. The sugar was
purchased in Sinaloa for sale in
northern Mexico, and in the past five
weeks $4,000 bags have been sold in
Mexico. The sugar Is in bond so that
none OF It can be sold in the United

would cost twice as much in this
country now as American sugar.

chants control the sugar market in
the northern part OF the republic and
that they are holding their product
for higher prices Representatives OF
the merchants point 70 their recent

RUSSIAN GREEN ARMY
TO Be RECKONED WITH

LONDON, Nov, 2S.--The greens Of
Russia, often incorrectly referred to as
the green army constitute a force
that must be seriously reckoned with, in
the opinion Of Russian experts at the
British foreign office, Their opinion Is
based upon a report of one Of their
secret agents who for months has been
in Il position to closely study conditions
in Bolshevik Russia.
The majority Of the greens are dc
s~erters from the BOlshevik armies, but
in their ranks may be found representa-
tives of nearly every political element
in the country. excepting B~olsheviki.
They have no governmental plans,
should they gain the upper hand, their
one idea being to kill BolsheViki and
Jews, They take no prisoners and acre
for mont Of the enemy's wounded, the
agents say.
1t Is estimated that in the spring Of
1919 50 per cent Of the Bolsheviki sol
diers deserted, Augmented by other
malcontents they organized themselves
In guerilla bands, living Off the country
and obtaining ammunition from raids
on Bolshevik stores, Reports to the for
eign office show that the peasants are
SO hostile to the Bolshevlki that they as
sist the greens in every way they
can.
The green" bands grew and during
the summer caused no end OF trouble
for the Bolsheviki,
Undoubtedly n goodly percentage Of
the ''greens'' will rejoin the Bolsheviki

preCludes guerilla warfare, but officials
here believe the winter will not Kill the
movement and that IL will be more for
midable next summer

WASTE Of MONEY
ONE IMMORTALITY
Southern Agriculturist Says
It Is Time To Return To
Good Old Ideals.

WASHINGTON, d. C., Nov. 2S.-
1t is time for a return TO the good old
idea that there is something immoral in
the wasting of money, according to the
southern Agriculturist In an editorial
discussion of the need. for thrift and
safe investment in government securi-
ties, recently published. The Agrlcul-
turist declares that we have had an
orgy of money-making but that il is
time for a season of money saving and
that the farmer is the man to start 1t.
mo one, of course, will think for a
moment" the editorial continues, What
we are advising any policy of tight
fistedness, any endeavor to save money
by doing without things that are really
needed on the farm. The making OF
money must come before the saving of
money in every case, and tho farmer
who saves by doing without the things
that would enable him to earn more Is
really a very eXtravagant citizen.
But there can be no question that
We have all been wasting money Of late,
We find ourselves paying prices we
never thought Of paying and often for
things We never before thought of buy
ing, This general willingness tofspond
without hesitation or consideration has
unquestionably been one Of the great
reasons for the height to which prices
have SCARED.
Apples were sold in this city (Nash-
ville) all last winter for 10 and Is cents
apiece. Everybody knew that those
prices were robbery, but everybody
bought the high priced apples just the
same. Men who used to be satisfied
with paying IS for a pair OF shoes or 81
for a shirt did not stop with paying
$40 for the same shoes or 81 for the
same shirt; they bought SIS shoes and
81 shirts. SO all along the line.
ut 1t time for this foolishness to
stop, or it is going to be the worse for
all Of us. The farmers, with their in
herited traditions Of thrift, are the peo-
pie to stop it-at least, II Is up to them
to stop their part Of It; to get back to
their old realization Of the value Of a
dollar. and to their old realization that
the dollar that he saves or wisely in
vests Is the only one that will be worth
anything to a man tomorrow or next
year.
Thoughtful farmers will, of course,
hold on to their Liberty bonds and War
Savings stamps. They are safe invest
ments and almost certain to increase in
value. Money can he borrowed on them
at low rates, and the owner who must
have none usually finds 1t to his ad-
vantage to borrow on them rather than
to sell them outright. Of course, no
thoughtful farmer IS going to throw
away good money on the wildcat stocks
now so frequently offered and extern
sivelv advertised.
Finally. the prudent farmer will
keep his living expenses, his expendi-
lures for things that are not essential
ard for essentials that do not add to
his productive capacity, down TO a rea-
sonable figure. He viii realize that
since the prices OF his own products
are going down, he can not afford &c
nav wartime prices for the thinga h

HOUSE RAIL BILL
IS INCONSISTENT,
ASSERTS SANDERS
Member From Louisiana Does
Not Approve of Measure Of
Interstate m Body
Recently Framed.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 2S.-After six
months Of work the house interstate
commerce committee has reported out
a railroad bill that is as full Of in
consistencies as a sieve is fun Of holes,
IN the opinion Of Representative Jared
Y. Sanders, former governor Of Louis
lana.
The bill, which was called up in the
house this week, was attacked for its
many Inconsistencies in a speech on
the floor of the house by Mr.. Sanders,
who pointed out numerous reasons why
II will utterly fail to solve the railroad
problem, with which the Republican
controlled committee has now been
wrestling for half a year.
The bill before the house, known
as the Esch bill, contains, among other
things, a provision that when the roads
are turned back to their owners and the
time for settlement arrives, whatever
the government nay owe the roads
must be paid in cash, but II the roads
owe the government anything the lat
ter must take their notes for 10 years
for il.

members of the communist party, are
ever trying to secure special privileges.
The soldiers n sailors were indignant
because of the increase in pay of tbs
commanders and declared that condi-
tons were worse now than those that
prevailed under the regime of the EN-
peror, They demanded that the pay be
equal for all, whether the soldier be q
private or a general.
Complaints were made against the
conditions of the barracks, because no
repairs were made and the funds ap-
propriated for this purpose went into
the pockets of the high officials. The
condition Of the hospitals is still more
deplorable. There are no doctors or
medicine and those really sick or
wounded have to shift the best they can
for themselves. The worst problem Of
all is to provide for the families of SOL
diers in the field. Nothing is done for
them and the money for them also dis
appears in the pockets of the official
thieves"

HAlG DOES NOT
RECEIVE FIRST TITLE

LONDON, Nov. 2S.-Field Marshal
Lord Haig does not after all become
Earl Haig of Bemersyde," as he had
is announced. His residence being at
Coombe, there were objections, it is
understood, to the territorial designa-
ton of Bemersyde, the Tweedside seat
of the head Of his family and remote
kinsman, Col. A. III. Haig.
There are well defined rules as to
the assumption of territorial titles, and
the lord of a manor can object to anew
peer taking his title from a place over
which the former has rights" Lord
Fisher, for example, wished to be Lord
Thetford, but his Norfolk manor be-
longed to W. D.. Mackenzie. Lord
S%trathcona wanted to be Lord Glencoe,
but the right of the ancient Macdonalds
stood in the way.

pay them on the nail, dollar for dollar,

not say to the railroads, We owe you
$50, 600, 600, but you owe Us $40, 000, 900
and We will pay you $4,000 600 II
you pass this bill they say you must
pay the $50, 900, O00,' and the railroads
will then be able to say, after a while
we will get together and we will figure
on the $40, 900, 900, and then we will give
you our note for it, and you can COLI
lect it II the property Is solvent Why,
1t does not even prescribe in this bill
