BRITISH ACTION SCORED

Shanghai, Dec. 25.-The American chamber of commerce at Shanghai is preparing to hold meeting to protest against new order in council issued by the British government in London forbidding Americans from being managing directors of so-called China companies, which are British corpora tions under local registration.
 Although organized under British laws, many of these companies are owned and controlled entirely by Americans. Two companies with a capital of many millions, built up by Americans must be turned over to British management within 60 days, under penalty of daily fines thereafter and a possible confscation.
 This happens also to many smaller companies and practically places the Americans in the enemy alien class as far as the British in China is con- cerned. It is predicted the affair will result in diplomatic exchanges, as the Americans here are indignant and even many British concerns condemn the order as being unfair, as we'll as upsetting business conditions.

WHY THE BAND PLAYED DIXIE
 AT LIVE STOCK EXPOSITION

Washington, D. C.. Dec 2s-whor
 the Hereford bull, Point Comfort XIV
 won for the South the grand cham.
 pionshlp for the breed at the Inter.
 Iatlonai Live Stock Exposition of 1915, many northern people felt that the occurrence was a "fuke." which was not likely to be repeated often
 But the record of the International Live Stock Exposition held at Cbicago november 29 to December 6, demon strated the possibilities of the South as a live stock producing section in a remarkable way. Nine grand cham pIonships were won by breeders south of the Ohio river, as follows:
 Shornhorn bull and COW, Hereford bull, Aberdeen-Angus bull, Percheron mare, Duroc Jersey boar, Poland Chlna SOW, and Hampshire ram and eve.
 Not all of these animals were actu- ally bred on southern farms. but the fact that they were shown from south ern herds is an illustration of the progressive spirit of the southern breeders, and those which were bred and raised on southern farms show clearly that the South can produce as fine breeding stock as any other sec- tion of the country, according to live stock specialists in the United States Department of Agriculture.
 In addition to the winnings in the live stock judging, the college judging team from the Texas A. 6 M. College won first in the students judging con- test ,and the team representing the Texas agricultural clubs won second by one point only in the intercollegiate judging contest.

DRILLS HIS FAMILY
 FOR FIRE EMERGENCY

As result of the safety first and fire prevention movements, fire drills are now the rule instead of the ex- ception in factories and large business houses. As the great majority of the fires occur in the homes, where wo- men and children are endangered, it is important that similar drills should be established in every household. In case of sudden fire alarm, it is very desirable that each one should know just what to do and how to do it, and this can be assured only by occasional drills.
 Too often a great deal of valuable time is wasted in running around aim lessly, and there is often more truth than humor in the old joke about throwing the china out of the window and carefully carrying the feather bed down stairs.

New York, Dec. 24.-The United States Grain Corporation announced today that the government pure wheat flour is now on sale in small packages lat moderate prices" in hundreds of retail grocery stores throughout the United States and that merchants selling it will be pro- vided, on application, with posters advising their customers of the fact. In supplementary statement issued by Watson s. Moore, second vice president of the corporation, consum- CTS are informed that the flour is in no sense a war or substitute article, but derived from pure wheat.
 MT. Moore added that rumors of a flour shortage are utterly without foundation.

STOP BURNING UP HOMES

The housing problem in Arkansas is one of the great issues of the day. All unnecessary construction was for bidden during the war, and now that the restrictions have been withdrawn the high prices of materials and labor and industrial troubles have tended to reduce the amount of building. In many industrial centers newcomers are unable to get houses to live in, rents have gone up, and the situation has become so serious that state and municipal commissions are seeking solution.
 Why not stop burning up the exist ing buildings, if there are not enough to go around and more cannot be built under existing conditions. Thousands of homes are burned each month, most of them through carelessness. If housing is so important, if homes are so hard to find, why not be careful with those that we have? Apply fire prevention methods. Be careful about matches, smoking, lighting and heat ing apparatus and gasoline. Clear out the rubbish, inspect the f1ues, watch the shingle roofs. Conservation is the order of the day, and if the shortage of dwellings will cause householders to be careful about the fire hazards of their homes one criminal cause of that shortage will be greatly reduced.

As soon as the child is in a safe place and the alarm turned in, each has his precise duties as to the chem- ical fire extinguisher, the pail of sand and the ladder, which are the home fire fighting devices.

ILLUSION OF PERCENTAGES

A dispatch from Washington says that during ten months of this year exports of sugar to Europe increased over the previous year for the same period 339 per cent, reaching total of l,250,O0O,000 pounds, while the inn ports only increased 27 per cent to a total of 8,250,000,000, and expresses the opinion that this explains the diff hculty housewives have in securing sugar. Percentagely speaking, an in- crease of 339 per cent in exports and only 27 per cent in imports sounds bad, very bad indeed, but little call culation sheds light on the matter. The 339 per cent increase in exports was an increase of about 1,O00, 0,O00 ,000 pounds, while the 27 per cent increase Tn imports made total increase of l 750,000,000 pounds. So we see that In spite of this terrible percentage difference our imports increase ex- ceeded our export increase 750,OO0,0 ,0O0 pounds, and the result should have been an excess of sugar instead of a shortage
 There is nothing more illusive than percentages. Almost anything may be proved or disproved by the per- centage argument, without in any way touching the real facts. It is pretty we'll understood that it is our tremen- dously increased consumption which is at the bottom of our sugar shortage. Other things contribute to it or help to make that increase more serious, but that is the fundamental fact with which we have to deal. We need more sugar than we ever used before and must find it somewhere.-St. Louis Globe-Democrat.

IS ARKANSAS TENANTRY
 INCREASING?

| The cotton growers of Arkansas, as l we'll as the entire South are facing a 1 crisis at this moment: This is not due
 entirely to the unfavorable weather | conditions of this Fall, which have | meant loss of many millions in re- duced yields and damaged staple. l There are world conditions affecting | the cotton grower, including the tre- Imendous export demand, and the manipulation of international ex- change by selfish interests. At such | time, it is imperative that the farm Iers and their business associates
 should stand together solidly for mu- itual aid; otherwise, conditions on the Harm will become so unfavorable, that Ithe system of tenantry will be greatly Iincreased. The following startling statement on this subject is made by IHarvie Jordan, National campaign director of the American Cotton Asso- |ciation. It is the duty of the Arkan- |sas farmer to see that it does not |appiy to our state.
 "One of the great purposes of the American Cotton Association is to lift the white tenant from every rented and drive out forever the |curse of illiteracy. This single plank in the platform of the association should receive the prompt cooperation land support of every man, woman and |child throughout our beloved South Hand, no matter what their avocation |in life may be. The success of the cotton farmers in the future, whether they be tenants or landlords, depends upon the profitable marketing of each years cotton crop. The successful handling of any great industry is a mans job. It cannot be left to chance, indifference or hope. We have left the marketing and prices of cotton for the past fifty years to faith and the control of the other fellow, and we have the result demonstrated in one long, never-ending system of agricul- tural slavery, illiteracy, increasing tenantry and poverty. Conditions over which the organized cotton trade has no control, for the past three years has rendered the rank and file of the cotton growers more independent than they have been for half century. They have felt the palatable taste of good prices and enjoyed short res bite of freedom from the hardships of | debt and hard living. It is imperative that existing conditions be made to continue and improved upon. It can only be done by concrete business or |ganization of the farmers and their | allied business interests, under the leadership of the American Cotton Association. Each township, each county and each state must unite un- der their State Division Association and give that full and complete sup port, which will guarantee success"
 L. J. Bryson, Chairman.

FRISCO UNIONS
 PLAN WALK-0UT
 OCTOBER FIRST

SAN FRANCISCO, Calif., Sept. "A. -R)-According to statements pub lished here today in labor newspapers, San Francisco shipyard workers un- ions are planning to strike on October l, next. These unions had already practically agreed to postpone strike action until after the international labor conference in Washington next month, and tacitly assured the Presi- dent that they would adopt that course.
 Not only will the local unions strike but San Francisco labor leaders claim that unions at other coast points will also walk out at that time. The union men claim that high wages which were promised them several weeks ago have never materialized and that they are not able to meet the present high cost of living under the existing wage scale The shipping board refuses to grant additional wage increases until after the conference in Washington concludes it's work and adopts some international industrial program.

GETS
 HIS HEARING

The preliminary hearing of Peter Cooper, accused of operating an illicit still and manufacturing alcohol for bev- craze purposes was continued in the commissioners court yesterday af- ternOon. The commissioner overruled the demurrer to the complaint which Attorney l.. K. Pratt for the defendant had filed. MT. Pratt then made a mo- ton to dismiss the case on the ground that the law provided that no one con- nected with the marshal's office could be either prosecutor or act as defend CT for an accused person, and that deputy marshal McMullen could not therefor act as prosecuting wit ness. The court then ruled that a prosecutor as meant in the statute did not mean a prosecuting witness. MT. Pratt then rendered plea of not guilty for his client, and the case was set for trial in the commissioners court at ten o'clock Monday morning. There will be a jury trial. Bail was fixed at $750
