CANNING FACTORY
PROSPECTS BRIGHT
Building Secured, Farmers
Contracting To Grow
Tomatoes

The move to bring a packing plant
here for canning tomatoes has at last.
so 1t would seem, assumed definite
proportions. Business men and con-
Germs have made a liberal subscrip-
ton for the purpose of furnishing,
rent free, building and site for the
plant during the first year of opera
ton.
The Pocket Packing Company, of
Evansville, Ind, will install the plant
here, at what is known as Beans
Mill, a splendid location for a pack
ing plant of this character, it being
Immediately on the bank of the river
and while easy of access is Just on the
outskirts of town. A representative
of the Packing Company is to be here
today, and if there be no unforeseen
hitch, final arrangements will likely
be completed, assuring this section of
an industry very much needed
$50 acres of tomatoes will be need
GU W OpSidlS Iu6 COuCeTu as IL SnOul0
be run, so it is claimed, and the plant
will have capacity for 200 acres.
Farmers in this section have as
fine tomato growing soil as may
be found anywhere and are taking
very readily to the project, as is evil
denced by the fact that considerable
acreage has already been pledged, by
the execution of signed contracts,
whereby the growers are assured of
$1,000 per ton for their tomatoes.
Those who figure on growing to-
matoes for the market to be opened
up by the concern to locate here
should be extremely careful to plant
no more than they can properly care
for and make the highest grade pos.
sible as reputation for our product
is something to be desired.

8 FINED FOR NON
PAYMENT OF DOG TAX

Messrs. Will Clark, w. e. Wilcox
and Virgil Brown, of Echols were re-
Gently summoned to appear in Coun-
ty Court and show cause why they
had not paid the special tax on their
dogs and obtained tags therefor, as
provided by law, and each were as
sessed fines and costs amounting to
some ten dollars.
The owners of dogs have been re-
peatedly warned of their liability for
failure to procure tags for dogs, but
it appears that something like one
half of the owners have not needed
the law or the warnings, and as a
consequence a large number are like
ly to be caught for fines and cost.
Failure TO comply with the law in
the matter of reporting dogs and OBJ
tanning tags, in our opinion, is not a
wish to violate the act, but perhaps is
due more to carelessness, and the
thought that nothing will be done
about the matter. Whether the peo-
pie think the law is good or bad has
nothing to do with the enforcement
thereof and the sheriff. Ms, in a mea-
sure, responsible for every untagged
dog and it is to be hoped that Incl
dent confusion and unnecessary pay
ment of fines and costs may be avoid
ed by those who have not complied

S7S,OO0,OOO LOST ON
U. S. ARMY CAMPS
c. o. p. Report Charges
Graft and Waste In
Expenditures

Washington. April 1.-two oppos-
ing reports on the long congressional
investigation of the construction of
thirty-two army camps and canton
ments were submitted yesterday to
the House by war expenditure COM
mittee and debated for several hours.
The majority report presented by Re-
publican committeeman. criticised
Government agencies and Officials in
charge of the war building program
while the minority report of the DEM
ocrats defended the Administration
The Government lost $7S,531,521
on the sixteen national Army can
tonments, /, was estimated Ivy the
majority report which asserted this
was due to waste, inefficiency and
graft" resulting from cost-phs ton-
tracts, which were said to he wide
open" No estimate of loss on the
National Guard camps was made b.
the majority.
Dissenting from the majority find
ings. the minority declared that the
construction work was equivalent to
building thirty-two cities, each with
$4,000 to $4,000 population, and
added:
This tremendous task was prac-
tically completed in three months and
stands out as one of the great
achievements of the war"
The majority submitted six recon-
mendations for legislation by Con-
gress, including the submission to the
States of constitutional amendment
making ''profiteering in wartime
treason" 1t also urged that the De-
partment of Justice be asked to in
vestigate work at every camp ito the
end of bringing to book those re-
sponsible for losses to the Govern
ment and frauds through which they
occurred, both by recoveries and mer-
tied penalties"
No recommendation were made in
the minority report, and 1t listed two
conclusions, one condemning the ma
jority report and the other defending
Secretary Baker, who, the majority
declared. "must bear the final re-
sponsibility."
The majority declared Secretary
Baker should not have permitted a
departure from the old method or
competitive bids, declaring that with
him must rest the final responsible
ity for the entire situation, including
violation of law, defrauding, waste,
losses and delay"
In turn the minority said the Sec
rotary twas amply justified in aban-
doning the usual peace-time method
Of awarding contracts upon COMPETE
tive bidding and in substituting for
1t the so-called cost plus system"
1.-THE minority is of the opinion, "
added its report, that If the views OF
the majority had been adopted at the
beginning of the war the whole build
ing programme would have been in
a state of chaos, many OF our troops
would have persisted with cold or
died of disease in the winter of 1917.
and the German army would have
been in Paris before our soldiers
could have entered the battle lines. "
Besides the Secretary, the MAORI
ty report held Col. w. A. Starrett, ap
architect of New York, primarily"
responsible for adoption of the cost
plus contract, and 1t was intimated
he used his position on the Emer-
.gency Construction Committee to OBJ
tain contracts for the George A. Full
Ter Company, of which his brother
was president.

TODAY'S EVENTS FIX
 FATE OF WALK OUT
tBv United Press ,

Chicago, April 10. - Striking switchmen through their central or ganization today posted bulletins de- scribing the strike as easier" in Chi cago and slightly worse at other points of the United States. The strikers admitted that the railways have accomplished surprising amount of work in br .aking the backbone of the walk out, but denied they have in- tention of giving in.
 Representatives of the Brotherhood of Railway Trainmen said the posi- tion of that body is to simply allow the strike fever to burn itself out.
 The crisis of the strike will be reach ed today, it is thought, according to brotherhood officials, who declare they expect to announce by night that the backbone of the walkout has been completely broken.
 Cnofiicially it was said today that a compromise agreement for the end of the strike might be reached if the wage increases, retroact ve from Aprl l, could he secured, and the associa- tion of yardmen recognized. At head quarters of the brotherhood, it was said there is no chance that the last named condition will be met

ALLIED STAND
 GREATLY ST|RS IRE 0F FRANCE
tSST United Press. ]

Paris, April 10.-Answering the note of the British government on French occupation of German terri tory, Premier Millerand declared to- day that he cannot accept the word of Germany that German troops in the neutral zone will be removed, unless Germany gives an unqualified guar antee that the promise will be kept.
 A concession made by France, set forth in the note of the premier, is that the republic will obtain the con- sent of the allied powers before any move to secure enforcement of the terms of the treaty of Versailles In the present instance, France first sent troops into German territory and then placed the case before the counc l of ambassadors, the supreme allied body, for approval Premier Millerand, however, asserts most positively in his note to Great Britain that France will require more that the unsupported word of Germany that German troops are withdrawn from the neu- tral zone, before the French army is called back from the Rhine district.

United Press Staff Correspondent
 Paris, April 10.-Apparently for saken by the other associated powers in the occupation of German cities in the Rhine district, France today holds considerable rancor against her late associates in the world war, es- pecially Great Britain. The life of the treaty of Versailles hangs in the balance, according to high officials of the French government.
 Events in connection with the French occupation of Rheinish cities and the diplomatic correspondence which en- sued demonstrate clearly that the al lied defensive alliance must be tight ened, in the opinion of French officials, who compare unfavorably the pres ent attitude of the British government and the alliance which held the as- sociated powers together during the war.
 A threat by Britain to withdraw from the council of ambassadors, now the supreme governing body of the allied powers, was received with great bitterness by France. The British threat was conditioned upon the im- mediate withdrawal of French fore es from German territory.
 French officials intimate that the Millerand cabinet favors a new diplo- matic discussion for the purpose of evolving definite policy toward Ger many which the powers can follow in unison.
