DECREASED GRAIN ACREAGE IN
 DICATES HIGHER PRICES

According to the United States De partment of Agriculture, this years wheat acreage is nearly 120O0, ,000 acres under that of last year. or nearly 25 per cent. The acreage in rye is smaller by over 1,7O0O00 acres, or about the same per cent of decrease. The acreage decreases are of course heaviest in the states of the Central West, though the per cent of decrease k heaviest in the South. For instance, the state of oklah0gaa shows de crease of NS0O00 acres, with TenneS- see of 3300o0 acres or 40 per cent. and Arkansas. 100000 acres, or over 5O per cent
 Whatever the cause of the heavy de crease in the fall grain acreage, it would seem certain that such radical cut cannot but mean higher.priced wheat another year If the spring acreage iS rus. proport onatcly. il seems probable npW that the 1920 wheat crop Afa#faH possibly one-fhird of billion Ha~#el~ under fbo 1919 crop.

OFFICER ADMITS
GUILT; WINDY"
JONES CAUGHT
BOOtle00in0 Member of Police
Force and Alleged Leader
on Eastside Plead Guilty and
VIII Go Before Federal Off,
GERS.

Police Officer H. K. Pompsrin, who
was arrested last Saturday on infor-
nation filed with Chief Matlock
pleaded guilty with "Windy" Jones
colored. this morning before United
States Commissioner R. B. Whitelaw
on charge Of violation Of the Vol
stead act, section 6, pertaining to the
sale and purchase Of liquor, and will
be taken to Los Angeles Sunday by
U. S. Marshall George Cooley to face
the federal courts.
1t is alleged that Pomperin con-
fiscated case of whisky which he
took from colored man on the east
side some weeks ago, and later sold it
to Jones. for 500, taking $50 at the
time of the sale. and was to- receive
the rest after Jones had bootlegged
the stuff" it was said.
The arrest Of the officer came about
following the arrest of Charles
Wilkes, who innocently, it was said
witnessed the transaction between
Windy" Jones and Pompern.
Wilkes was before Justice Mayfield
Saturday morning on charge of sod
omy, and whether he told Chief Mat
lock of the sale of the liquor Matlock
would not state: however, that after
noon Pomerin was arrested by Mat
lock and locked in the county Jail
pening an investigation of the infor
nation.
Matlock stated this morning that
Pomerin was arrested and placed in
the custody Of the sheriff within 20
minutes after he first heard of the
incident. "The arrest was made and
the charges investigated afterwards -
said Chief Matlock. "If the officers
Of the Ell Centre police force are
guilty Of such charge l want to be
the first to take action against it,
and while this is Officer Pomperin's s
first offense. and l am indeed sorry
for him and his family, personal SEN
timent cannot interfece and he must
be dealt with as any other law break
er."
1t is not known whom Pomperin took
the liquor from. and he stated he HIM
self did not know his name.
