TRANSPORTATION IS.
 HEAVILY 0YERTAXED
SOUTH THIS YEAR FACES A SIT. LAYTON MORE CRITICAL
 SINCE CIVIL WAR.
By w. C.. Lassetter, Director AgricGl-
 tural Extension Division, University

By w. c. Lassetter, Director Agrical-
 tural Extension Division, University
 of Arkansas.
 The South this year faces situa- tion more critical than any since the Civil War. Having for many years depended upon other sections of tha country to furnish these food supplies, and having built up it's system of az riculture on that as basis, the South this year finds transportation facili- ties of the country heavily over-tax- ed and therefore faces threatened shortage of the facilities for bringing into the South the food and feedstuffs needed to support itself under the old system of agriculture.
 For many years the agricultural leaders of the Southern States have been urging the production of home supplies of food and feed stuffs as a matter of farm economy. Today the production of home supplies of food and feed stuffs becomes imperative as a matter of necessity.
 SOInoLNluS Ol luc SeIlOuSuCSS Oi lho situation that now cOnfrOnto tEe South may be seen when we consider the magnitude of our transportation problems The Extension Division is in receipt of information from the War Department which shows that merely to move an army of SO,OOO troops once required 6,2O9 cars or 36S trains pulled by 366 engines and operated by 366 crews. Today we have twenty times 80,OOO men in the United States armies and to move these troops one time would require 7,320 extra trains, extra en- eines and extra crews. These fig tres refer only to railway equipment required to move sucn an army one time.
 We are fully aware of the fact that food and feed are required to suppor: armies and their equipment, It is estimated by the Department of Agri- culture that S5,216 carloads of food will be required for the maintenance of the present army for one year, and that 96.624 cars will be required 10 move the seed and for the transporta- ton required for army animals for ane vea,

MAYOR CHANGES
Mind; WILL keep
STORE CLOSED
Reverses Opinion of Last
Month and Gives Advice
to "Use ChiIdren's
Market"

Mayor Smith has changed his
mind again. When questioned yes
terday about the continued delay in
opening the municipal store in the
Auditorium which was to open
Thursday night, but didn't, the
mayor said:
II don't believe it is the province
Ct the city to run stores"
Less than four weeks ago, when
the mayor was at the height of his
enthusiasm regarding selling of
staples, he declared:
Were going into this business
and we're going to sell such things
as bacon. ham. canned goods. corn
meal, dried. vegetables. Well es-
:ablish stores in the Auditorium,
South Side city hall and perhaps in
the various fire barns. Well buy
government foods and we'll buy
from wholesale houses and sell to
the people at cost"
Yesterday he said the reason the

forum, will not open tonight, and
did not open last night, is that he
can't get the foodstuffs from the
government.
"But aren't you going to buy in
the open market. Mr.. Smith," he
was asked. =,
"Oh, no." he said. we won't
do that"
"And when this government food
is all gone the municipal stores will

Commissioners Oppose Mayor.
City Commissioners Ure and

the mayors scheme, which they
characterized as absurd" Mr.. IRE

ordinance for the stores" was
passed. He was to have charge OF

Commissioners, LHlillidh was given
the job during Mr.. Ure's absence.
But when he started at the work the
mayor suddenly took notion to do
the Job himself.
Now he is ready to drop it alto

this food distribution, tells me he
