Chicago, who for almost two
years has been living on the ami
NAL rest farm of the Humane

After numerous complaints as
to the sanitary conditions on the
farm, Chief Moxley visited the
place and found Mrs. Ludwig to
be sleeping in a small shed in
which number of dogs we're
housed.
Upon the chiefs insistence, the
owners of the farm provided an
other small shed for the woman
to sleep in, less than 10 yards
away from the penned dogs. Con-

Lou Wheat Acreage
May Mean Good Price

Some indications of a higher
market price for wheat this year
are seen in the Department of
Agriculture's estimate that this
years crop in the United States
and Canada alone will be $780,
600 acres under last year. The
acreage in Argentina and Austria
liza also is expected to be smaller.
The crop of the United States and
Canada, representing about three
tourths of the worlds wheat crop,
was 185.278,000 acres last year.
The department finds that al
though winter wheat is excellent
this year, spring wheat here, in
Canada and in Europe is of less
favorable condition. Russian SOW
ings are reported delayed, as COM.
pared to last year.

IRON CAVALRY
GETS TEST

FORT EUSTIS, Va, June II.
Maj. Gen. Guy V. Henry, chief
of United States Cavalry, yester-
day watched the mechanical
force, a cavalry unit of steel and
motor power which will soon re-
place the horses in one of his
regiments, rumble along the roads
near historic Yorktown to join
in a mimic siege of the town of
Washington, captured during the
Revolutionary War.
The armed cars, bristling with
machine guns, had completed a
90-mile forced march in the short
space of three hours to take part
in the mimic battle in which
their tractor-drawn and self
propelled artillery guns fired a
distance of 10000 yards on the
same ground where Gen: Henry
Knox, the first chief of artillery
in the United States Army, was
content to see his muzzle- loading
field pieces fire hundred yards.
