meeting in the agricultural room Of

toned and plans to be worked out
to launch these two moves.

tees.

ARMY
ASKS FOR HELP

The work of seeking and finding
missing persons carried on by the
Salvation Army through its depart
ment of inquiry and investigation,
has increased more than 100 per
cent since the cessation of hostili-
ties in Europe.
The bureau now deals with over
5000 cases annually and reports an
unusually high percentage of sue
cessful Investigations. The officers
in charge of the work attribute its
doubling to two main causes. These
are the wide publicity that has
been given the Salvation Army be-
cause of its wartime activities, and
the resumption Of relations with
all parts of Europe which have
been so disrupted for five or six
years.
Tne investigation and inquiry car
ried on by this department. is open
to all persons, and all are invited
to avail themselves Of it. The only
charges made are to cover the cost
of notices inserted in the War Cry.
Like practically all Of the work of
the Salvation Army, it is not self
supporting, but is maintained year
by year through the Home Service
Fund. In order to recruit this
fund to the point where the Army's
work may be carried on for another
year, a $19,0OO,OOO appeal to the
nationwill be made May 10 to 20.

BAILEY OVERWHELMED
BY TEXAS DEMOCRACY

Dallas Texas, May 2.-The fac
ton of the democratic party of Tex
as which sought to repudiate Presi-
dent Wilson and his administration
met defeat in a veritable political
landslide at Saturdays democratic
precinct conventions, according to
additional, but incomplete, unoffi-
cial returns received today.
Latest figures indicate that the
regulars those favoring the ma
tional administration, would have
more than 1000 of the 400 votes
in the state democratic convention
on May Is. The anti-administration
faction headed by former United
States Senate Joseph w. Bailey,
according to the available returns,
will have less than 200 state conven-
ton votes. While tabulators made
no effort to record the votes cast
in the precinct meetings, combining
themselves to the tabulation of
county convention delegates and
their instructions on national ques-
tions, the incomplete returns indi-
cate that the ballotting ran about
six to one in favor of the national
administration. Although the in
dorsement of Woodrow Wilson was
overwhelming, none Of the returns
mentioned preference for any can
didate for the democratic presiden-
tial nomination.
Complete precinct returns will
not be available until the democrat
ic county conventions meet next
Tuesday to select the 1,4OO state
convention delegates in accordance
with instructions given by yester-
days precinct meetings.

SMALL FIRST MON
DAY CROWD HERE

The crowd in town last Monday
was small, as compared to that Wis
ting the county seat on the previous
first Monday. However, last Mon
days crowd was larger than the US
ual May first Monday crowds. The
big rains on Sunday and Sunday
night put farming operations out
OF commission, which brought many
to town who otherwise might have
remained at home for work, while,
upon the other hand, the muddy con-
dition Of the roads kept many away.
Farmers are far behind with their
work and when the seasons are ia
vorable will make up for lost time,
paying attention to neither first
Mondays nor other attractions until
crop conditioJ 5 are favorable.
