WASHINGTON.-A squadron of nine
w war vessels has been formed to
patrol the waters of Central and South
America, operating as a distinct COM
mand from either the Atlantic or Pa
Citc fleet. Rear Admiral Benjamin
c. Bryan has hOisted his pennant on
the Dolphin and formally taken COM
mand Of the first Latin-American
squadron.
His force consists of five light and
speedy cruisers, the Denver, Calves
ton, Des MOines, Cleveland and Ia
coma, and the gunboats Asheville, Nj
agara and Sacramento, with the Dol
phln, formerly the official vessel of the
secretary of the navy as flagship.
The squadron will have its base at
the Canal Zone, which will enable it
to transfer In whole or In part from
the Atlantic to the Pacific, and makes
possible the speedy mobilization Of an
adequate force to meet any emergency.

Uncle Sans Latin-American Squadron

Admiral Bryan will have several thou
sand men under his command, and
the character of the fleet will permit
of the close patrol even of shallow
tidal waters.
1t was explained at the navy de-
partment that the object of creating
the Latin-American squadron was to
centralize command of all vessels on
duty in those waters and eliminate
complications as to assignment of YES
sells for special duty there.
Secretary Daniels said that the ar
rangement had been completed after
consultation with admiral RodmGn,
commanding the Pacific fleet, and Adj
miral Wilson, in command in Atlantic
waters, and that it was designed to
simplify the tremendously extensive
patrol along the Latin-Amerieln coasts.
1t is known, however, that the State
department has shown great interest
in the report from naval and other
sources of the recent disorders in
Honolulu, and the various exhibitions
of ill-feeling aroused by the three cor
nered dispute over boundary lines
which has involved, Chile, Peru and

SHORTHoRNS FOR ROCKCASTLE
COUNTY

The past year, 1919, has been a
good year for the county in many
respects. The improvement in live
stock has been much more than in
any previous year. We now have
more than sixty head Of pure-bred
Shorthorns in the county, ranging
in value from 800 TO $500 per head.
This speaks well for us in the cat
tie line.
w. T. Hicks, Of Wilde, has a very
nice herd Of Shorthorns. The sire
of his roam bull sold for 5000.
This certainly speaks we'll for his
herd. He also has a COW for which
he paid $500.
w. C. Johnson, Orlando, has q
red Shorthorn bull for which he
paid $50.
S. p. Caudill, Roundstone, has a
Red Polled bull, for which he paid
$3.50. This calf weighed 800 pounds
at eight months old.
There are a number of other
pure-bred registered Shorthorn
bulls in the county that range from
800 to $500 in value.
There are few other breeds OF
pure breds in the county, but they
are not so numerous as the Short
horns.
