When the order naming the regiment as

would or would not come to Houston for
a certain period anyway. The informa-
tion that the Illinois officers have indi
cates that it will not come to Houston.

NO HITCH IN THE
MOVEMENT OF TRAINS.
T. II. Meek director of transportation
representing the American Hallways asso
ciation at Camp Logan has become one
of the busiest men on the big Job now
tliat troops are moving in. So far there
has not been a hitch in the smooth
movement ot trains ol soldiers into the
camp and there is not a complaint lom
tne most captious officer about the way- in
which the transportation of the troops
from Illinois to Houston has been handled.
This contracts decidedly with the annoy-
ing delays attendant on the movement of
troops to and from the Jlexii an border
last year.

ing up just east of "Center road." the
new shell highway that bisects the camp
from Washington avenue at the ware-
houses to Buffalo river where a bridge
will link it with a county road conneet-
iig with the extension of San Felipe
ftreet that will lead into Houston from
the south side of. the camp. Captain
Frazier's quarters will be at the east
end of the company street. The truck
company camp is shaded by tall pine
trees and is convenient to the quarter-
master's warehouses that will be the
center of the activity of the truck com-
pany now that troops are arriving and
requiring supplies to be hauled to the
regimental storehouses from the main
depot.
FIELD BAKERY
COMPANY IN OPERATION.
Another unit of Major Trumbull's
forces has moved into Camp Logan set
quietly to work and is now doing its

Bakery Company No. 24 L". S. Q. M. C.
Captain W. W. Morgan commands the
bakery company of 56 enlisted men. One
double unit oven has been set up and
Saturday turned out 4320 pounds of
bread or 2160 two-pound loaves. The
full battery of field ovens to be set up
12 units will be able to bake a rush
order of 26.000 pounds of bread in a day.
Captain Morgan states. The average
day's baking with the camp fully occu-
pied will be about 12.000 pounds of bread
the captain estimates.
The field bakery Is established Just
west of and on a line with the double
row of 10 quartermaster warehouses at
Camp Logan yard. The camp site has
been filled in with soil to raise the
grade of the camp a foot above the level
of the meadow. The camp is about hair
completed. A warehouse for flour and
t. mess hall for the men will be built..
Ihe company is quartered. In the stand-

Five Millions of Property
the Prohibition Target
Can you destroy the revenue value of $5000000 of property
in Houston without affecting every dollar of real property value here
This is the value of Houston property directly affected by the
proposed law.
It is composed of business property and dwelling property.
A vacant dwelling next door to your property is a standing invi-
tation to your tenant to make a deal for cheaper rent and move.
The same is true of business property.
The pros say "Let's have cheaper rent." No one objects to
paying rentals on a fair basis and everyone prefers to pay high rents
with good business than poor rents with no business.
No business firm would think of leaving Broadway New York
where he pays a stupendous rent to move to Travis street Houston
simply because he could get cheaper rent. Rents are figured on the
basis of business transacted and the fact of "cheap rents" is a corol-
lary for "poor business."

SAVE ONE POUND
OF FLOUR A WEEK
Hooier Appall to Public to Use
Other Cereals.
United State and Iti Allies Faee
Wheat Shortage of Four
Hundred Million
Bmheli.
(AttttiaUi Press Itefo'l.)
WASHINGTON. August ll.-Declarlng
that the United States and Its allies face
a wheat shortage of 400000.000 bushels
unless new economies are introduced.
Herbert Hoover Saturday night again ap-
pealed to the American public to elim-
inate waste and to conserve wheat by
substituting other cereals. A saving of
one pound of wheat flour a week for every
person he declared would go far toward
solving entirely the food question.
"The allies." said Mr. Hoover In a
formal statement "are Isolated from
those markets other than Canada and
the United States on which they were
accustomed to rely before the war. The
Russian supply can not be got out. Bul-
garian and Rumanian supplies are in the
hands of the central empires. The voyage
from Australia and India is three times
as long and therefore requires three times
as many tons of shipping as is required
from North Atlantic ports. There has
been a large- failure in the South Ameri-
can countries.
"The deficit of 400.000.0t0 bushels can
be at least partially overcome if we can
increase our exports from 88.000000 to
120000000. This can be accomplished if
we will substitute one pound of other
cereals for one pound of wheat flour
weekly per person; that is. if we reduce
our consumption of wheat flour from live
pounds per week to four pounds per week
per person.
"It will be no privation to us and will
reduce the privation of our allies. "
France Italy the United Kingdom and
Belgium. Mr. Hoover estimated must
Import during the next 12 months 677-1
000.000 bushels of wheat and 4T. 000000
bushels of other cereals to meet normal
consumption requirements. Against this
Is balanced an estimated wheat surplus
of 88.000000 bushels In the United States
and 110000000 bushels In Canada and a
surplus of other cereals totaling 829000.-
000 bushels In the United .States and 119.-
000000 bushels in Canada. ' These figures
alone represent a wheat deficit of 369-
000000 bushels but In addition it is
pointed out that the United States must
reserve a part of her supply for neutrals
furnishing this country vital supplies and
must also protect its reserve stocks
bringing the total deficit up to about
400000000 bushels.
Saloon Men Praise
Steps Taken by Police
Houston Post Special.)
FORT WORTH Texas August 18.
Resolutions commending the steps re-
cently taken by the police to stamp put
forms of illicit liquor trade were passed
by the liquor and malt dealers at Fort
Worth at their regular meeting last Tues-
day held In the liesdquarters of the asso-
ciation at Ninth and Main streets.
The Liquor and Malt Healers associa-
tion also pledged themselves to aid the
police in apprehending all bootleggers.
M. F. Fanning president of the associa-
tion said that all law-abiding saloon men
of Fort Worth would make every effort
to secure information regarding those
engaging In bootlegging and would do
everything in their power to give such
information to the police that would lead
to their apprehension.
"it not only casta discredit upon the
law-abiding saloon men of Fort Worth'
said Fanning "but it is also very much
against the morals of the saloon men
who do a legitimate business for men to
sell intoxicants to soldiers or to other-
wise deal In trade that is unlawful.''

Ii of Vital Concern That Correct

(Jufftti Prut KrSert.)
WASHINGTON august H. Renewed
instructions that drafted men who fall
to report tor service elU be classed and
punished as deserters were sent to United
States district attorneys and agents of
the department of Justice Saturday night
by Attorney General Gregory.
Provost Marshal General Crowder has
ruled that persona who neglect to appear
for examination will be accepted auto-
matically and that the privilege of claim-
ing exemption wtu be denied. It was to
help carry this policy Into effect that the
attorney general acted.
"It is a matter of vital concern" says
the Instructions "not so much to the
government as to the persons themselves
to see that they give the correct address
for their notices to be mailed to them.
Should they fall to comply with those
notices after receiving them they become
automatically drafted without regard to
physical examination or to exemption or
discharge."
Renewed discussion of the status of
married men under the selective service
law has been aroused by publication of
President Wilson's ' letter to Senator
Weeks dealing wifh this and other sub-
jects. In many quarters the president's
statement that he had no doubt Senator
Weeks' point as to the exemption of mar-
ried men was well taken was Interpreted

tion of any man of family who had not
married merely to escape military duty.
A proposal specifically to exempt all
married men was made when the bill was

fect by Senator Smith of Georgia being

rthe secretary desires power to issue addi
tional certificates on Indebtedness to the
amount of 32000000.000 and an equal
amount or war savings certificates in a
form available to small investors.
Lives of the certificates of Indebtedness

rates and regulate payments they like
the bonds would be subject only to super-

Inclusion of the two additional cer-
tificate proposals not mentioned hereto-

sion hy 3500000000 as proposed by Mr.

will not be taken up for passage until
after the revenue bill passes the senate
probably late next week.
