Feb. only solution he sees is a greatly in- Meatless days in the United creased railroad movement of food stuffs even to the exclusion of much Si i car 1 A A A A A A A i other commerce. Rnilrond Adminlsirntlon Resents It.

It was evident that the railroad administration is inclined to resent Mr. blame of the railroads, and of beef ere exported to the allies, directoI general McAdoo declared he States have saved 140,000,000 pounds of beef in four months, the food administration announced today. During- this period 165,000,000 pounds gether with 400.000,000 pounds of pork products. The figures were made public in a statement explaining why the food administration has heretofore refused requests of cattle and sheep growers to remove mutton and lamb from the conservation rules with regard to meatless days. Mutton and lamb are not exported and the food administration has removed the restriction on its consumption in some of the western states.

The restriction will be lifted soon in many of the other states in which large numbers of sheep and lambs are produced for meat. Food administrator Hoover will recommend to state administrators that the people be permitted to eat all the mutton and lamb they want until after April 15, when the spring marketing season is about at an end. Consumption Increases Fast. is desirable to bear in said Mr. Hoover today, the meatless days are simply and solely for the of enabling us to feed the allies by saving on our meat consumption.

"Our national consumption has increased at a faster rate than our production and therefore, without the meatless days, we would not be in position to export even the pre-war average amounts. Allied Ration Is Low. the exports are absolutely vital needs no proof further than the statement of the ration at present in force in Europe among the allies, which has been reduced approximately to one pound of meats of all kinds a week, or less than 30 percent of the present American consumption and it is today at so low a figure as to tend to diminish the morale and the resistance of the allies. are doing our best to increase the amount of exports and can do so only by the rigid conservation on the part of the American F'jort Shoriage In East. The eastern part of the United States faces a food shortage likely to continue for the next CO days.

In making- this disclosure, food administrator Hoover declared that the situation is the most critical in the country's history and that in many of the large consuming areas reserve food stocks are at the point of exhaustion. The whole blame is put by the food administrator on railroad congestion, which, he says, also has thrown the food administration far behind in its program for feeding the allies. The was ready to provide every transportation facility for expediting food. The railroad administration, he said, had suggested that farmers be urged to release their grain holdings that largo numbers of available cars might be utilized in moving them. Cereal exports to the allies, Mr.

statement says, will be 45,000,000 bushels short on March 1 and meat shipments also are far short of the amounts promised. Price Margin Wide. Inability to move the crops, Mr. Hoover sets forth, has suspended the law of supply and demand, and created a price margin between producer and consumer wider than it ever was before. A large part of the corn crop is about to spoil because it is not moving to terminals for drying.

The percentage of soft corn in last crop, all of which must be dried if it is to be saved, is the largest ever known. Estimates place the amount as high as a billion bushels. Feeders Face Losses. The cost of grain for feeding livestock has increased to such an extent by reason of transportation difficulties, Mr. Hdover says, that feeders are confronted writh the prospect of serious losses.

Dairying interests, too, he declares, are hard hit. Potatoes Are Spoiling. Totatoes, the food administrator declares, are spoiling in the hands while consumers have been supplied only from summer garden crops and stores carried over. Mr. Hoover adds: Two Months Critical.

next 60 days will be the most critical in our feed history. Up to the first of February less than 5U percent of the normal ratio of corn has been moved, less than 80 percent of the oats and less than 60 percent of the potatoes. From November 1 to January 1 we were short in tlie usual movement of grains and grain products into the terminals alone by over 120,000 120,000,000 this was further aggravated by similar shortage outside the terminals. considerable portion of the soft corn will be lost by spoiling unless it can be moved in the next 60 days to the drying terminals. The least amount of grain that must be loaded for the next 60 days is 8,000,000 bushels per we have not yet at- neither the allied nor our domestic tained that.

Less than this will solve situation. Potatoes More Slowly. had about 130,000 carloads of Charging that dealers in red top cane seed were holding 500 cars of exportation of potatoes to Juarez seed on which they would make an! and northern Mexican markets will approximate profit of $1,000,000, Geo. J. Roark, of the Texas commercial association, has written the El Paso chamber of commerce asking if it would not be advisable to begin a campaign to encourage the pianting of milo maize and kaffir corn by farmers.

The red top cane seed was bought dld th meeting. It from farmers at a price of from 3 1-2 hv fromhie that unle to six cents per pound, it is claimed.1 claimed by Crombie mat unle On present stocks in the hands of re tail merchants the price is $11.50 to $13 per 100. The wholesale price, however, is now $11.75 per 100, and it is predicted in the letter that a retail price of from $13 to $11 will prevail, even running as high as $15 in some localities, due to freight rates. At the estimated raise the aggregate profits are estimated by Mr. Roark at $1,000,000.

As farmers claim that milo maize and kaffir corn are equally as good crops for fodder and other feeding purposes, it is proposed to start a campaign for raising these crops instead of the red cane. pojtatoes on November 1 which should have been moved from the principal producing centers and up tb the firs- I of February we had moved about 000 carloads while we should have moved over 50,000 in this period. The I result is that potatoes are piled up spoiling in the hands, and the consuming centers have only been supplied bv virtue of the summer gardens and other stores carried over from last I Jim Dick Grants a Reprieve to Old Hen; Chanticleer Doomed I kill an old was the question asked over the telephone of James A. Dick, chairman of the El Faso price interpreting committee, who is used to having all sorts of difficult problems put up to him since he started serving on the staff of Herbert Hoover. The inquirer was a woman equally be made by a special committee appointed Thursday afternoon at the regular meeting of the El Paso price interpreting committee.

That there were many carloads of potatoes at Mountain Park and Cloudcroft, N. in the Sacramento mountains waiting to be shipped was iMR Mas by W. S. Crombie that unless steps were taken to move the crop of potatoes soon there wTould be a loss. Mexico, he stated, offered a good market, as the people needed food.

Consumers there use cheaper grades and small potatoes. Will Meet Customs Officers. The committee consisting of W. S. Crombie, James A.

Dick and W. H. Doretz will confer with customs officers in regard to the matter. A communication from the food administration asking that the El Paso board also suggest maximum prices for Juarez on leading articles was also read by Mr. Dick.

Price Drops. Retail prices were changed but little, but in line with the discussion at the meeting on potatoes that article was dropped 25 cents per 100 pounds, retail, and 10 cents per 100 wholesale. The retail price per pound was dropped from to .03 per pound. The wholesale price on pure leaf lard was raised from to $2.72 to from $2.72 to $2.83. Other changes in wholesale prices were: Flour per 24 pound sack $1.45 to $1.57 to from $1.47 to rice, full head, in bulk, per pound, to from .09 to broken rice, .07 to creamery butter per pound, from .53 to .55 to from .52 to cheese, skimmed milk per pound .26 to .28 per pound; Longhorn to .32.

Pinto beans, wholesale, were dropped from .10 to .09. The retail prices of full head and broken rice were and the latter was higher top price of .10 instead of .08 1-3. Local Fowl Prices. Following are the prices given by board: Rumors of a Villa victory south of Jimenez on Tuesday have reached Juarez, but are without official confirmation. Nothing has been given out since Thursday on the developments of the campaign against Villa southeast of Jimenez, since the official report of Gen.

Eduardo fight on Monday was given out at Mexican military headquarters. This report told of the killing of Gen. Carrasco and Col. Ildefonso Sanchez, both Villa commanders and also of the death in battle of a number of federal officers. Confirmation was received of reports from Ch huahua City that Gen.

Francisco Murguia commandeered all available horses and placed in prison a number of officials and staff officers who refused to comply with his request for 300 horses with which to mount his infantry in order to pursue Villa. Villlstas Near Casas Grandes. Reports that Villistas are active in the vicinity of Casas Grandes have been received in Juarez. It was reported that several ranches had been raided and ranchers killed, also that horses and supplies wrere obtained. No reports have been received concerning this at the Mexican consulate.

It has been reported that Gen. Jose Murguia has been ordered to this district. Reorganise Murguia's District. In a reorganization of the Mexican army it is reported that Gen.

Gen. Martinez will have command of the Chihuahua garrison. According to reports given out at the military headquarters at Chihuahua the Villistas w'ere defeated at Escalon with a loss of 300 killed, and 100 prisoners who will be executed.

Sfkteen new steel coaches, five steel diners, 12 of the latest type ten wheel engines, and other equipment will be placed in service the lines of the Texas Pacific railway within the next month, according to officials of the local offices of the Texas Pacific.

It is probable that this new rolling stock will be used on the eastern lines of the Texas Pacific system, releasing equipment now used there for service on the west end to El Paso. It is said that the 12 new engines will take the pjace of 24 engines of the type now in use. The reason for this is the greatly improved model, and the fact that the new engines are about twice the size of the engines now used, and will be able to pull twice the load. Big Delay on Engines. The Texas Pacific poeple have had many difficulties in securing the new rolling stock, on account of the congested condition of the car factories and engine shops of the country.

Orders for the new engines were placed in the latter part of 1916, and the engines built in the early part of 1917. About the time of the completion of a number of engines, however, they were confiscated by the government for shipment to Russia, and the factories had to build another set of engines for the Texas Pacific. It is said that the engines which were confiscated by the government for use in Russia were the same that were lost in the Atlantic when the ship transporting them to Europe was sunk by a submarine. S. P.

BUYS NEW ENGINES. It is reported that the Southern Pacific system has purchased a number of engines of the same type as those of the Texas Pacific, known as the type. These engines, which will be used between Houston and El Paso, are en route, and will be put in service immediately on their arrival. ON EXPLOSIVES EL PASO WILL HAVE STATE ADVISOR Charles B.

The order was in response to complaints of sheep raisers that they would lose money unless they were permitted to market their sheep and lambs.

1 TEN SONS IN ARMV. Editor El Paso Herald: It is said that Thomas Chamberlain, formerly of the presidency of KanaU a town in southern Utah, spent a large part of his time between the years 1SS0 and 1890 dodging United States marshals, who were seeking to catch him for the offense of having, as they averred, three wives, according to the former teaching of the Mormon church. In spite of this persecution or prosecution, whichever it w'as, it is said that Mr. Chamberlain carefully yro- vided for, protected and cherished all of his family and as a result, now has 16 sons, all strapping, stalwart specimens of young American manhood, ten of whom are already in the United States army, and the other six are also liable to be called to the colors. It is said that every one of the 16 has been pronounced physically fit for service.

Besides his boys, Mr. Chamberlain has about the same number of daughters, all of whom have unblemished reputations and are mostly engaged in rearing more soldiers for the government that formerly, under the Edmunds-Tueker law, sought to punish their father. The best of the whole matter is that Mr. sons and daughters are all, as well as himself, passionately patriotic and proud of the showing of the family. Mr.

gentile bors are unanimously now of the opinion that he has completely expiated his sin, If there was one, and all honor him for his achievement. I Truly, opinions are sometimes liable to revision. Reader. 1 AGUILAR SAYS NOTHING NEW IN CHAMIZAL TRACT DISPUTE Replying to a story said to have been published in the organ of the pro-Germans in Mexico City that the United States government would cede to Mexico the San Elizaria island in exchange for the Chamizal tract, on which considerable of south El Paso is built, Gen. Candido Aguilar, secretary of foreign relations, is reported to have told El Universal, a Mexico City paper, that the Chamizal subject was still in the same status it had been for several years and that the United States government had made no suggestion, nor proposition, to the government of Mexico for a solution of it.
