V.
Your committee appointed to draft
resolutions expressing the sentiments
of this camp on the death of Winnie
Davis the only daughter of our be-
loved confederacy, respectfully sub.
nit the following;
Whereas, the Divine creator, in his
wisdom, has called from MS our be-
loved Winnie Davis. who came TO
Us in the last years Of the Confeder-
ate government and who accepted and
shared our fortunes in our hour of
defeat and tribulation. her great am
bition being satisfied in the title
Daughter Of the Confederacy,' un-
animously given her by all Confed-
crates and which title she wore in
the simplicity Of queen.
Therefore, be 1t resolved,
First-That we recognize in her
all that is pure and noble grand
and patriotic for the cause she so
willingly espoused; that she was the
only daughter of the government
for which we battled.
Second-That in her death the U.
c. VS. have lost a noble member; that
her family has lost loving and du-
tiful daughter and sister and that
society has been deprived of one Of its
most brilliant and ornamental men,
bers.
Third-That copy of these resolu-
tions be spread upon the minutes Of
this camp, a copy furnished TO the
newspapers for publication and a copy
sent to general headquarters of this
organization, and that all Confederates
be requested TO join in an effort to
erect fitting monument to her
memory.

BRITAIN ADOPTS POISON GAS
lite Use as Supreme Weapon Of the
Next War Is Seen in Dye
stuffs Act.

Washington.-By the passage of the
dyestuffS import regulations act Great
Britain has definitely accepted the
theory that poison gas will be the SUI
preme weapon of the next war, and at
the same time has opened the way for
the entry of German dyes into this
country, according to views expressed
by chemical experts of thoM govern
ment.
The British act. which became
law recently. prohibiting the importa-
ton of dyestuffs into Great Britain for
ten years, enables England to build
up her dye industry to point of COM
plete independence from the outside
world.
Poison gas and dyestuffs both come
from coal tar. BY insuring the devel-
opment OF the dye industry, chemical
experts say, Great Britain has laid
the groundwork for possible wide
spread use of gas in warfare, as chem
ical factories can turn from the manu-
facture of dyestuffs to the production
Of poison gas practically at will.
Direct competition in this country
between German and American made
dyes also is seen by officials here as a
result of the British dyestuffs act.

MEXICAN OIL TRADE DOUBLES
Shipments for Year 1920 Expected to
Exceed 125,o0o,00o

Mexico City.-Figures showing that

published by the department of indus
try and commerce, which records De-
tober shipments of 1901 900 barrels.
as against 1901 $50 barrels in Jan
uary.
These figures are striking in view
of the fact that in 1901 Mexico shipped
out 1O,345 barrels and in 1910, 1884,
600 barrels.
Shipments in 1919 totaled S7,072,954
barrels and there is reason to believe
that this years shipments will amount
to more than 125.OOO,000 barrels.
Announcement was made recently
that United States petroleum compa-

eminent more than 100000 pesos

WOMEN SMARTER THAN MEN
North Dakota College Reports Show
Girls In First Place by
Al Per Cent.

Fargo, N. Dare women smarter
farmers than men?
An announcement by the North Da-
kota Agricultural college would so In
dictate. During the spring term of
1920, women students averaged grades
Al per cent higher than men. The
general average for all men was sO.8
per cent The averages were for all
departments. The women averaged
$40 per cent and all students 1928 per
cent.
But the registrars Office, in giving
out the averages, stated that In the
college department the women's aver
age was six points higher than that
of the men and this brought up their
general average.
