A POOR BULL

We have a disagreeable task before
us in mentioning the recent sale of a
bull from one of our breeders to one of
Ouf farmers. No names will be men
toned in this article for the reason that
we have no grievance against either of
the men, Our object is simply to do all
in our power for the betterment of the
herds of live stock in Rusk and adjOin-
ing counties. This bull has fine nose,
is narrow across the shoulders, back,
rllmp, and flank. He has light body,
fine boned, is of dual purpose
breed, and should have been steered
when a calf. He is only about half as
large as he ought to be. and it is a big
mistake for a breeder to let such an
animal leave his herd, as he is a very
poor advertisement, and there is no
place for such bull ON any farm I'M
less the obnoxious practice of killing
the calves at birth is followed. 1t pays
every time to give more money and get
good bull

Allies Expected to Clamp on

TROOPS MUST LEAVE.
Recall of General Won Der GoItz Fails
to Satisfy Supreme Council and
Economic Pressure Will
Be Applied.

Paris, Oct Germany recall of
General Won Der Goltz from the Baltic
region will not satisfy the Supreme
council, it is said, the council being
determined to place economic pres
sure on Germany until all the German
soldiers are withdrawn.
The German soldiers now in this
region are estimated at from $4,000
to 100000. They apparently are de-
termined to restore the old Russian
regime there.
Members of the peace delegations
repeatedly have conferred with Baron
Kurt Won Lersner, head of the German
mission, concerning Won Der Goltz and
his forces, and the German govern
.ment had agreed to remove them.
The slOwness in action, however, has
resulted in great disorder in the Bal.
tic states and the Supreme council is
determined to take immediate steps
to bring pressure to bear upon the
Germans until it's demands are salts
fed.
While it cannot be said that block
ade is actually on against Germany,
steps are being taken to bring about
financial pressure which speedily will
cut off the German food supply and
bring the German public to realiza-
ton of the fact that German activi-
ties in the Baltic states must cease.
Food now on the way to Germany will
not be stopped but future supplies will
be held up unless the German govern
ment makes good it's promise to evac-
nate

SUGAR FAMINE CERTAIN
Higher Prices Held Certain by
Official of Company.
Public to Be Absolutely Without Sup.
ply Sometime in 1920 Is
Belief.

Chicago. Sept. 29-Howard Van
Gracy, director of the Holland-St.
Louis Sugar Company, in a statement
here today declared that the shortage
of sugar throughout the world is such
that higher prices are inevitable.
1.-THE United States secures it's sugar
supply from two sources, beet and
cane" he said. 'The cane sugar
comes from Louisiana, Porto Rico,
Hawaii and the Philippines, the great
er bulk being Cuban sugar. The re-
mainder comes from the American
beet. AS our consumption will be in
the neighborhood of 4,500,0G0 tons,
whereas the new beet crop will be less
than 100000 tons, it is obvious that
beet sugar comprises only about one
fifth Of the country's consumption.
Virtually No Sugar in U. s.
AT the present time there is vir-
tually no sugar in the country and
neither retailers, dealers nor whole
salers have enough sugar to supply
the demand. AS the total amount Of
sugar in Cuba and elsewhere avail
able for the United States before
January is only approximately 60O,-
900 tons whereas the requirements
of the country will be approximately
100000 tons, this whole amounting
to 100000 tons will have to be stopped
by the new beet crop. This crop,
which is ordinarily distributed
throughout the ensuing IL months is
only about 100000 tons, it is obvious
that if 100000 tons are applied during
lie will be absolutely without sugar
at some time during 1920.

GREATER PRODUCTION URGED
Industrial Truce Also Suggested to

Industrial Truce Also Suggested to
Reduce High Living Cost.
st. Louis, Mo-, Oct. Increased
production as a means OF settling the
present industrial unrest, and the dec
laration of an industrial truce for six
months as method of reducing the
cost of living, were suggested by w.
P. G. Harding, governor of the Fed
eral Reserve board, in an address be-
fore the convention of the American
Bankers association.
Causes of labor trouble, Governor
Harding said, were directly traceable
to the war, to it's waste and destruc-
ton, to its heavy drain on available
supplies that constituted SO large a
part of the worlds wealth, and to
financial expedients, which, he said,
were necessary to obtain these sup
plies.

HOUSE TO ACT SHORTLY
ON RETIREMENT BILL
Possibly That Measure May Not Be
Taken Up by Senate This
Session.

FAVORABLE action on the civil service
retirement bill, which has been re-
ported to both the Senate and the
House. is expected at the present
session of Congress in at least one
house, and it may be that both Senate
and House will pass it,
Chairman Lelhback of the civil serv-
Ice committee of the House has prom
ised the joint civil service retirement
committee, representing the govern
ment employees, that the bill will be
taken up in the House as soon as the
vocational education bill and the bud
get bill have been disposed of. This
should be some time around the end
OF next week or the beginning of the
Following week. Once the bill Is be-
Iore the House it is believed that it
VIII be pas by good ma ajority.
In the Senate, while the sentiment
in favor of the retirement bill is
strong. the situation makes it more
diff1cult to obtain action at the. pres
ent session. and it may have to go
over until the December session. The
treaty OF peace with Germany is oc-
cupying the attention of the Senate
at present to the exclusion of al
most all other business
senator Stirling. chairman of the
civil service committee Of the Senate.
said today that If any opportunity Of
fered itself for getting the bill be-
fore the Senate at the present ses-
sion he would take it. He said he be-
lleved that the Senate would pass
the bill, but that in view Of the pres
ent situation regarding the peace
treaty 1t might have to be postponed
until the next session
The government employees are doing
all In their power to get action on
the bill without further delay. 1t has
been demonstrated by the experts
who have worked on the bill that the
measure will result in a saving of
hundreds of thousands of dollars to
the government. and will result in
increasing the efficiency of the gov
ernment service. That being the case,
the government employees believe that
the bill should not be sidetracked, but
should receive favorable attention at
an early date.
