BALFOUR TALKS PLAINLY ON DISAGREEMENT. Washington, Dec. to limit the naval strength of the powers in submarines and auxiliary warships came to an abrupt end yesterday after they had drawn the French and British arms conference delegates into a plain-spoken exchange over the possibilities of a future war between France and the British Empire.

The French, acting under renewed instructions from their government, told the conference naval committee with an air of finality that France must remain free to build a submarine flotilla nearly three times as great as that she now possesses and to construct, in addition, cruisers, destroyers and other auxiliary craft tip to a tonnage of 330,000. To the proposal, the Americans, Japanese and Italians replied with expressions of surprise and regret, while the British charged openly that such a building program must be regarded as a menace to British shores.

(By Associated Press) Houston, Texas, Dec. that the Texas prison commission can be sued here, Judge J. D. Harvey of the 18th district court Wednesday decided a plea of privilege filed by assistant attorney general in an effort to change the venue to Walker county in the debt injunction suit instituted by the Houston National Exchange Bank. The decision was an initial victory of the bank which is asking a temporary injunction to restrain the prison commission from pledging its 1921 or 1922 income unless it pays three notes for $31,250 each, which were issued in payment of the much discussed Fort Bend cotton oil mill at Richmond.

At 2 p. m. the case to be resumed on a general demurrer, special exceptions and a general answer which T. L. Breckenridge and W.

W. Caves, assistant attorney general, stated they will file. He declared that the state had no intention of paying the notes, that the former prison commission which purchased the mill had no authority to do so and that the purchase was illegal. They cited an act of the last regular session of the legislature which they said expressly prohibited the prison commisison from expending funds for alleged indebtedness of the mill. They further declared that the suit was, in effect, a suit against the state of Texas and that the state had not given its permission to be sued and could not do so without legislative enactment.

They keep a careful record on the project and so at the end of the year are able to show definitely how profitable their undertaking has been.

The educational teatures of the show will be stressed anti you will come to see that good poultry husbandry means more abundant food production, thus creating better living conditions among our people. You will also understand more clearly the problems confronting the industry. With standard bred poultry the industry can be made a much more profitable business and in fact will turn a liability into an asset, as scrub poultry will be a liability so long as scrub is tolerated upon our farms. The weli-bred fowl is the one efficient item in poultry success.

Our future policy should be that we determine that the day of the scrub was yesterday, as the standard bred fowl has come to stay and good business judgment is going to force us to keep only the best from now on, especially if we expect to derive a profit. There is a steady demand for poul- for the pupils enrolled in the animal I try products and there is no apparent likely hood of the demand husbandry classes Last spring teams being over supplied any time soon. With standard bred poul- from eighteen high schools competed try and better and more efficient methods of handling poultry for a loving cup, six teams competed products, better markets can be developed and thus better profits, at the Waco Cotton Palace and eight We trust that each year we will have the pleasure of making at the Houston Fair.
