Veteran of 24th Is
Now Tin Soldier

Fort Benning, Ga, Feb. 23.-Unrest
among soldiers of the 24th infantry
stationed here continues, despite re.
ports to the contrary, and over and
above sundry activities taken up in
the interest of the soldiers in an eff
fort to offset the bad feeling created
when the regiment was first brought
here.
Not long ago there was an inspec-
tion of infantry at the fort by Gen.
Farnsworth, chief of infantry. The
24th regiment was placed between two
white Southern outfits. Both the
white bodies were armed, one with ri
files, the other with pistols. The 24th
was forced to stand inspection with
out arms.
This was keen insult to the vete-
rams, who had fought in many of the
country's wars. They declared they
mad never seen anything to equal it.
Ihey resent the fact that they are
being employed as soldiers, to bear
lumber at the sawmill, cut down trees.
roll logs, dig bitches, build bridges and
grade roads. Their resentment is based
on the evidence showing that they are
picked out for this particular kind of
service, whereas the white soldiers are
not.
Some of the older soldiers of the
24th are content to take things as they
have come, believing that the ups and
downs are all part of the life of a
good soldier, but the majority is dis
contented and the regiment is threat
ened with depletion through the disin-
clination of those now serving to re-
enlist.

TOO Much ECONOMY
IN USE OF wheat
People Must Get Back to PreWar
Consumption Ratio ,

Washington, Nov. &c. - Needless
continuation of bread saving habits
formed in war time, department of
agricultural officials declared in q
statement issued today. is limiting
American wheat consumption to the
disadvantage of both producer and
consumer.
A return to pre-war food habits in
the use of wheat by the public and
the feeding of low grade wheat to
live stock, department experts assert,
would help greatly toward solving
the wheat problem.
The wide disparity between the
cost of bread to the consumer and
the price received by the producer
for thu wheat from which il is made
is cited by the department as a typi-
cal illustration of the disproportionate
relationship which exists between the
price of farm products and the price
o fittings that have gone through
manufacturing process.
The price of bread in cities has
and -four" says the statement. "A
pound loaf of bread which in Min
nespolis in 1slS-14 cost SO cents now
costs approximately cents. while
the -four which in 1854 cost s4.4s
a barrel, now costs $3.50. Allowing
ESQ loaves to the barrel, the margin
between the -four price and the
bread price has increased from 5000
to $3.50.
1T is obvious that such conditions
work to the disa dvantage of both pro-
ducers and consumers, Producers
are injured by the restrictions which
is caused in the demand and consum-
ers are injured by high prices which
enforce an uneconomic limitation in
the use of an internal food. All In
terests in the country, including those
Of the bakers and millers, would be
benefited by the restoration of more
normal ratio between the price OF
wheat when 1t leaves the farmers
hands and It's price TO the final con-
sumner"

HIGH SHOES FOR
women ARE SCARCE
Shoe Salesman Almost Shocks
Reporter When He Gives Reasons


High shoes for women" remarked
the proprietor of one of the leading
Main street shoe stores, There aim
no such animal" The. shoe man
qualified this statement by saying that
there still are few types of high
shoes for women on the market but
that they are about as scarce as the
''diplodocus." Not for several years
he said has there been any demand
to speak of for high shoes among the
members of the feminine sex. Less
than three per cent OF our women
customers ask for high Shoes" he
added.
Yes, the factories are making
some. but the demand has decreased
Ito such an extent" he continued,
that there is no such thing as a
style feature in high shoes. In fact
many of the high shoes for women
on sale now are old stock. The de-
mand is confined mostly to elderly
women or those who do considerable
walking every day. They are con-
sidered mainly as work shoes. I"
In explanation of what has taken
their .place the shoe man stated that
with the advent of short skirts, the
low shoes gave such natty appear
ance and the high shoes looked SO
awkward that the women speedily
discarded the once universally WORT
ankle height shoe for the pump or
oxford
Now that wooden hosiery is becom-
ing more and more popular and
"spsts' are coming back into their
own once more, with the assistance of
srctics or 'galoshes' in bad weather.
the women say there is no need for
the old fashioned high shoe.
Another reason why the women,
especially the good looking onse. in
sist upon low shoes is because of the
discriminating eye of the eligible
man." he said, The reporter was
dense and asked for further light.
Well it's this way, 10y shoes always
look better on the girp with the pref
ty ank--" but here the conversation
grew too embarrassing for the sales
man to continue and the reporter is
still wondering what he intended to
say.
Referring to the market, for srctlcs
or EalosHes the shoe man said there
are plenty of them on the market
now, but travelling statesmen who are
considered the best barometer. are
predicting a scarcity before the end
of the season"

With Eight Associates He Will

Bill" Mccoy, whom government,
, agents call the king of the rum run
ners," appears before q United States
commissioner today with eight Brit
ish seamen. crew of the schooner
Tomako, charged with smuggling
liquor inside the territorial waters of
the United States.
The men, who surrendered yester-
day only after the coast guard cut
ter Seneca had fired twice across the
Tomako's bows, had 100000 in cash
in their pockets and 200 cases of
liquor in the hold. They will make
their defense, Mccoy said, on the
fact that the ship was six and a half
miles from shore when captured, de-
spite the fact that the IL mile limit
agreement with Great Britain had
not gone into effect.
Mccoy, who is said to be under fed
eral indictments for violation of the
prohibition law and who has been
sought for five months along the
Atlantic coast from Main to Florida
had $4,000 with him when cap
tured. Government agents said this
amount was received for 1000 cases
of liquor already sold to American
bootleggers. The cargo was taken on
