traitor, in his recent testimony be-
vestigating war expenditures. 1t

control OF sugar as a means Of in
surfing an adequate supply and dis
Recommendation has now been
made for an extension of the system
Of control and ALLEGATION.
Mr.. HOover's statements showed
that there were TWO schools of
opinion as to the manner of meeting
the shortage of sugar. One group
contemplated ;o removal emo Of Of al. al
play of competition in the purchase
and disposal Of the Cuban and other
important crops.
This would have meant the sale of
these crops to the highest bidders,
with prices rejecting the COM
petitive conditions. There was no
prediction as, to how high prices
would rise under this scheme.
The alternative plan proposed
continuance of federal control and
| International buying and ALLEGATION,
thus permitting purchase of crops
and existent supplies at reasonable
figures: and keeping sugar even dur
/ ing. the war and the subsequent
! period Of shortage as. low as ten and
eleven cents a pound. 1t was this
! course that the Government adopted,
| Mr.. Hoover explained.
Congressman Bland. junior Re-
publican member of the committee,
summoned Mr.. Hoover to testify re-
garding the sugar dispensed in re-
foreign governments through the
A. E. F. and the armys sales
agencies in France 1t was apparent
that Mr. Bland hoped to demon.
strate that these sales and gifts of
sugar were responsible for the
shortage in the United etates. Mr..
Hoover made it clear that abnormal
sugar in this country caused the
| scarcity.
This increase, beginning last
spring. and seemingly accelerated
by prohibition, Mr. Hoover said,
grew from IS pounds to SO pounds
per person. The largest consump-
ton heretofore, Mr.: Hoover said was

what was termed "a foolish expendi-
ture of money!
The Democrats favor the purchase
of permanent American embassies,
but insist that any such expenditures
should be based upon common

have contended that the housing of

The United States, unlike many Of
the worlds leading countries pos
sesses but few ambassadOrial, legat-
iOnal and consular buildings. The
exceptions are at HAVANA. Tokyo
and Constantinople, together with
few consulates in China.
Representative Flood of Virginia,
ranking Democrat on the Foreign
Affairs Committee, voiced the senti-
ment of his party colleagues in pro-
testing against the proposed Santi-
ago expenditure 1t was pointed out
that embassy buildings were much
more needed in the capitals of
Europe than in South America, even
in such a large country as Chilli;
that at this time property could be
acquired very cheaply in the Europ-
can cities and that the United States
now had an opportunity to acquire
some real bargains-an opportunity
that would soon pass.
1t was further pointed out that
the housing allowance of the am
bassador to Chill was ample to
maintain his establishment as be-
came his position in the diplomatic
service. Heretofore the mission to
Chilli was legation with a $4,000
annual salary, while the present am
bassadorship carries with it
$17,500.

Thus far about 100000 different
individuals have been under treat

War Risk Bureau. Of these more
than IS per cent were men who had
been wounded in military. service,
almost 10 per cent were victims OF

1000 men undergoing treatment in

The report Of the War Risk Bur-

amputations have been necessary
among the men enlisted in the army,
the navy and the Marine Corps dur
ing the war with Germany This is
a much smaller number than it was
commonly supposed to be. OF these
about two-fifths were arms and the
remainder legs.
Up to September 10, there had
been applications for 1900 artificial
limbs. OF these GIL were for artifi-
cial legs and 597 were for artificial
arms. The Government furnishes
these artificial limbs free Of cost to
disabled soldiers, and takes pains to
see that only the best are supplied
to them. Men who do heavy work
and are likely to break their arti-
fetal limbs receive two legs or arms,
as the case may be.

says Of the movement to establish a

RANGERS ARE TO STOP CATTLE AND HORSE
 STEALING IN COUNTY

In order to put an end to cattle and horse stealing in this county, two rangers will be appointed shortly to guard against the crime which has reached large proportions in this sec tion.
 This was decided yesterday at q joint meeting Of the livestock sanitary board and the board of supervisors when it was agreed that the expense be shared jointly by the two boards.
 The rangers will receive a salary of S150 a month
 In agreeing to the proposition which was made by the livestock sanitary board. the supervisors made it condi- tional that if after three months trial the rangers did not make good their appointments be revoked. While the supervisors contended that the work should be done by the sheriffs office they were willing to try out the plan. Sheriff Mont gomery. who was pres i ent at the conference, made it clear | that his deputies, working at present | fully 15 hours q day, could not do ] ranger duty. He pointed out the fact that the cotton industry had brought i hundreds of MeXicans to the valley who after making a few dollars at 1 cotton picking, stole q horse or head 1 of cattle and made their way into | Mexico before the matter was even re ported to the sheriffs office. He stated that his men, engaged every moment on county business. could not leave their work for guard duty on the ranges.
 It was decided to put the new scheme in practice at an early date, the ap- pointments being made as soon as pos Sible. The live stock sanitary board was represented at the meeting by Jack Barber, acting chairman. Frank Moore and F.. stephens, secretary of the board. The supervisors were all present including W. K. Bowen. char man; J. W. Bradshaw and Warren Peterson. The minutes were taken by Clarence Standage, clerk of the board of supervisors.
