DROP DURING FEBRUARY Y
By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
Agricultural exports declined to a new
low record during February.
The Agriculture Department placed
the months index at II. Even If cot
ton were excluded, the department said,
the index was 81, or lower than any
month in the last 16 years.
Sharp drops in exports of wheat and
cured pork were the dominant features.
Exports of wheat amounted to only
1877 900 bushels, the lowest since June,
1906 For the eight months from July
/, 1880, to February %, wheat exports,
including flour, were 16 per cent under
the same period last year:
During the same period unmanutac-
tl1red tobacco exports exceeded by
sol 900 900 the value of wheat and flour,
which usually have ranked second only
to cotton among agricultural exports.

Artillery Was Needed.
The statement gave no assurance that
the 80-division project had been adopt
cd: in fact it implied some doubt
whether such an extensive plan could be
carried out It did. however, no doubt
put an end to the opportunities of our
allies to send American troops here and
there, AID confirmed the attitude that
had taken-that the war must be won
on the Western front
In view of the prospect for the early
assembly Of corps and divisions to
form our Army, it became urgent that
possible speed. The outlines had been
determined and members Of the 1st
Army staff were at work on the de-
tails. Several questions pertaining to
final organization and composition had
to be at once decided and directions
given to the staff.
Due to concessions during the Spring
and Summer, we now found ourselves,
as already noted, short OF elements
necessary to make well balanced COM
bat army, and 1t became necessary TO
call on the French for the temporary
loan of artillery and other arms.
My formal order creating the flrst
field Army was issued July "a, to take
effect August 10, with headquarters at
La Ferte SOUS Jouarre.
Immediate consideration was given
the improvement of the general supply
system. Although the recent reorgani-
zation had helped, 1t had been my pur-
pose for some time to make changes in
personnel In the s. o. s., particularly
in the position of chief, which de-
manded great administrative ability.
After much thought the choice fell to
Gen. Hartford. His knowledge of or
ganization, his personality. his energy
and his loyalty made him the outstand-
ing choice. Reluctance to lose his
services in command Of troops, where
he had shown himself brilliant leader,
caused me to delay until his division
could be relieved from the active front.

eminent Of the United States is to do

fective to win It."
The statement then said, in sub
stance, that the war could be won only
by common counsel and intimate con-
cert of action. 1t further said that our
Government had adopted plan for
fighting on the western front, using
all its resources: that 1t had put into
the plan the entire energy of the Ma
ton, and that it was then considering
the possibility of increasing its effort,
but that If this program was at all
feasible the industrial processes and
the shipping facilities of the associated
powers would be taxed to the utmost.

ONE NIGHTS ADVENTURE

In the autumn of 1885 we were
living in southeastern Ohio, among
the blue hills of the old Buckeye
state. | was one of a large family
In the neighborhood where we liv-
ed, it had been the custom for sew
eral years for the boys to go to the
northwestern counties to cut corn.
Wages were higher there, and the
"hillicans" as we were called, could
always find work, as we were con-
sidered more steady and reliable
than the boys of those counties. AL
so, we did not have any use for
whisky, and the old farmers wanted
hands that could be trusted to work
whether alone or with others, so we
boys of the hills could always land
a job.
In the fall of 'S5, for various
reasons. none of the neighbor boys
were going to cut corn away from
home, and my older brother could
not go, so it was left to me to go
alone or stay at home. / decided

ride my colt, and not go by train.
By going this way, I could enjoy the
country, and being a great lover of
nature could thoroughly enjoy my
self with the scenery and note
everything of interest on my
journey.
In those days, we scarcely dream
ed of automobiles and airplanes. One
morning in early September
mounted my beautiful horse and
started on my journey. My folks
had tried to persuade me to not go

me TO take a pistol with me, but !

so miles, when | drew rein at the
town of T. The sun was just
disappearing in the west. and being
tired I decided to put up for the
night. I noticed a grocery sign in

There were only two men in the
grocery. The older one looked to be

He had a heavy countenance and
eyes that were shifty. | was not

pearance of either of them. I in
quired of the older man where l
could get lodging for the night. He
quickly replied that he and his wife
kept boarders.
He said he would go with me and
show me where he lived. I noticed
that he seemed to admire my horse.
The house in which he lived stood
back from the main street, and the
stable a short distance from the
house. | led the horse into the
stable, noticing that there was a

window high up in the rear Of the
