Local Tobacco
Market Blocked

The local tobacco market became
so congested yesterday that it was
found necessary to postpone all de-
liveries and to temporarily stop re-
ceiving so that they could catch up
with the prizing and shipping. The
growers having registered for Feb
ruary 13 and IA have been notified
not to bring their tobacco in until
February 16 and II, by which time
warehouse officials expect to have
the congestion relieved to such an
extent as to go ahead with their
schedule. The prizing and shipping
end Of the business is proceeding
rapidly and no more tieups are an
ticipated.
The advances received by farmers
this week continue very satisfactory
and everyone seems well pleased
with the new cooperative market
ing system, which seems to be work
ing smoothly.

School Election
Set For March A

AT the regular meeting of the city
council Tuesday night the council
was requested to call an election for
the issuing Of 100000 worth of
bonds to be used in erecting an ad-
dition to the present city school
buildings, and the election was set
for March 4. As explained by the
school board, the present buildings
are entirely inadequate and it has
been found absolutely necessary to
have additional ROOM During the
past term cloak rooms, closets, etc,
have been converted into class
rooms and the children are so
crowded that unless an addition is
built by fall the school will be unable
to care for all the children. This
is matter of utmost importance
and unless we care for the educa-
tional needs of our city we will not
be doing our duty toward the chill
dren of today who will be the bus
mess men and women Of tomorrow.
1t is freely predicted that the bond
issue will carry by an overwhelming
majority.

Brotherhood Favors
Amalgamation

Houston, Texas, May 7.-Probably
the most pressing question to come
before the triennial convention of the
Brotherhood of Locomotive Firemen
and Enginemen, which will open here
tomorrow, is that of the proposed
amalgamation with the Brotherhood
Of Locomotive Engineers. The latter
brotherhood passed resolution fav-
oring such amalgamation at its Cleve-
land convention last year, and the de-
cisions now devolves upon the firemen.
Further issues before it are pro-
posed alliance with the miners; partic-
ipation in political campaigns; the at
titude of the brotherhood toward the
decision and practices Of the United
States Railway Board; cooperative
buying and distribution; erection of a
brotherhood building; and establish
ment and maintenance of tubercu-
losis sanatorium, and establishment
and maintenance of labor press.
Previous conventions have lasted
about five weeks, but an effort will
be made to conclude the business of
this gathering within a month.

French Politics in
Hands of War Veteran.

Paris, May THE debates in the
Chamber of Deputies ON the military
service bill disclosed the fact that
350 OF the sos members of that bodv
served as officers in the French armv
Most of them have scarcely reached
middle life and few were active in
politics prior to 1914.
Observers predict that French pol
ltics for the next generation will be
in the control of men with war rec
ords, invery much the same manner
as the American Congress was after
the Civil War
General Viscount de Castelnau is
the most notable soldier in parlia-
ment but his influence is scarcely
greater than that of Lieutenant Col
onel Jean Fabry, who was Joffre's
chief of staff on his visit to Wash
ington in April, 1917
Nlcomte de Castelnau is better
known as general than as a deputy.
DE Castelnau was on the list of those
whom Premier Clemenceau thought
were entitled to be marshals of
France. Clemenceau, it is said, final
ly decided, with great reluctance, to
leave de Castelnau general because
he had appointed one Catholic, Foch,
to be marshal and he did not like
to name a second Catholic, de Cas-
telnau. The general is devout
churchman.
Besides Castelnau, there are 40 9TH
ers in this republican chamber hold
ing titles of nobility.
The Marquis de Dion, another
deputy, is manufacturer of automo-
biles. Baron Maurice de Rothschild
lis well known as an owner of race
horses.
Two dukes in the house are Due
d'Audiffrey Pasquier, whose title goes
back to 1850 and the Due de Dalma-
tie, descendant through the female
line from Napoleon's Marshal, Soult.
Another Napoleonic name is recalled
by Deputy Prince Joachim de Murat.
Baron Albert d'Aubigny has special
lied in aeronautics.

States but also from the interior

Icing purchased in Poland, Sweden,
tie Baltic states, Rumania and Bull

According to Krassin the total
amount of seed grain supplied direct
by the Commissariat for Foreign
Trade, the American Relief Admin
istration and the organization head
ed by Fridtjof Nansen is 13,418,O
pouds' (36 pounds each), to be dis
tributed as follows: Central Russia,
1O,4O0O00 pouds; Southeastern Rus
sia, l,034,00O pouds; the Ukraine,
l $4,000.
Just how much of the seeds will
reach destinations in time for the
spring planting will scarcely be
known before some time in May
Freezing of the Baltic ports caused
three weeks delay, Krassin said, and
in February and March the Russian
railways were congested at various
points. On some lines he said "many
thousand Of cars" were held up, while
the return of empty cars to the Baltic
ports and the Black Sea shipping fell
to the minimum.
Recent reports from various rail.
way centers showed little, if any
Improvement in Russia's transporta.
tion, and there has been much spec.
ulation among the railway managers
and experts as to how much of the
seed grain would arrive in time fol
