PARIS TAKES ACTION
ON WHEAT IMPORTS
Decree Ordering Special Certificates
Follows Allegations Quotas
Have Been Exceeded.
BY the Associated Press

BY the Associated Press.
PARIS, January 1e.-The cabinet
today decided to issue degree order
ing special certificates for all foreign
wheat entering France.
The decree resulted from allegations
that foreign wheat has been entering
France in excess Of the official quotas
which last year were fixed at 10 per cent
of the total wheat necessary for con-
sumption in France.
Great wheat-producing countries,
notably the United States, Canada and
Argentina, are deeply interested in
knowing how much wheat they will be
permitted to sell in France.
Another cabinet decree which has
been drafted would oblige all persons
dealing in wheat to make complete re-
ports to the government concerning the
use to which their wheat is put.
The newspaper La Information,
devoted especially to economic and
financial matters, estimated that be-
cause the French wheat crop Is small
this year 1t will be necessary to import
between one and two billion pounds.
Recently the government inaugurated
rigid system of import certificates to
prevent dumping of Russian wheat.
While there is no accusation Of dump
ing by other countries, experts profess
to see in the action of the cabinet today
determination to enforce strict adj
herence to import quotas by all
countries

RANGER IS NAMED
TEXAS ADJUTANT
Bill SterIing's Appointment
by Governor Likely to Be
Confirmed by Senate.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
AUSTIN, Tex, January ia tight
Tipped ranger captain from the mes
quite and chaparral dotted ranch coun-
try just north of the Mexican border
is bringing his $500 Sunday gun" and
ponies to Austin soon to become the
new adjutant general of Texas.
Bill Sterling, 40, tall and handsome, a
daring son of the out-of-doors, was
appointed to the Office by Gov. Elect
Ross S. Sterling and the Senate is ex-
pected to confirm the action next week.
The two Sterlings are not related.
Capt. Bill" is true to type.
Chosen as Model.
He was chosen by Gutzon Borglum,
sculptor, as a model for the proposed
monument to the Texas rangers, whose
deeds as peace officers have been her
aided throughout the Nation.
Capt. Bill was a ranger at heart
long before he became one in name.
AS a lad of on a borderland ranch,
he said, he yearned to go with Capt.
Joe Brooks and his men. He was a
constant companion of the rangers dur
ing their infrequent stops at headquar-
ters near the family ranch and there
was born the ambition that will be cli-
NAKED by his command OF the entire
ranger force.
The next adjutant general received
his college education at Texas A. g. M.
From 1906 to 1908 he was a classmate of
r. L. Robertson, whom he will succeed
as adjutant general.
Scout for u. S. Army.
Much of the border bandit war of
1915 was fought in the vicinity Of the
Sterling ranch, in Brooks County. Ster-
ling became chief scout for the Sd Cav
airy in that border warfare. Maj. Gen.
Frank Mccoy praised his work.
A powder burn kept Sterling from
passing the eye tests for overseas duty
In the World War. He entered the
ranger service and rose to captain OF
Camp D, the Mounted Rangers, which
patrols about one-fourth of the Texas
Mexico border.
His Sunday gun" was presented by
the people of Laredo.
