TEXAS DROUGHT
DALLAS, Texas, June 11.—The
long drought which has prevailed in
West Texas for two or more years,
causing little less than disaster to the
cattle-raising industry of Texas, has
been partly If not wholly broken.
Three good, soaking rains fell In that
district within the first seventeen
days of May. Grass is now coming
out, water holes have been partly
filled, and a general spirit of optimism
prevails with (he cattlemen, many of
whom staked fortunes on the effort to
hold out.
Ranchmen who had waited from
month to mouth for the rains shipped
thousands of head of cattle out ot
this district to other ranges. Many
dollars were spent by the stockmen
on feed to keep alive those few cat
tle that remained on the ranges. They
declare that had the rain been de
layed another six weeks the plains
of Texas would have been practically
deserted of cattle.
All of Texas west of a line drawn
north and south through San Antonio
constituted the drought district, prac
tically all of which is devoted to the
cattle-raising industry. Part of the
district, however, contains some agri
j cultural land, devoted mostly to truck
farming. Little cotton m corn i t
grown.
The drought began in some sections
late in the summer of Ml4, and almost
ever since the cattlemen have had a
fight on their hands to save the herds
with which the ranches were popu
lated at that time. In 1915 the situ
ation grew more sericrus and the rain
fall was far below normal. Early in
1916 a large part of the district had
fair rains, but there were many large
areas which had none, and others
where the rain feTl so rapidly that It
did little good. Throughout the sum
mer of 1916, all through 1917, and well
Into 1918 conditions grew steadily
worse.
Pioneers of West Texas declare it
was the worst dry spell that has fallen
over that section in a'century. Dust
storms which swept the section a few
weeks prior to the rains were the
worst and most severe experienced In
a generation. In San Angelo the dust
storm was so severe that all outside
work had to he suspended and the
sky was so dark that it was neces
sary to use electric lights for indoor
work.
A general Influx of cattle which had
been shipped out of West Texas is
expected to begin soon. Cattlemen,
however, point out that it will re
quire years to stock the ranches as
before the drought hit ‘the ranges.

TAKES CHARGES LIGHTLY
PARIS, June 12.—Joseph Caillaux,
‘the former premier of Prance whose
■•conduct is being investigated by a
committee to learn whether a .charge
Of treason shall ’be made against him,
surprised his investigators by the cool
ness with which he met sdl charges.
When he left the .<2iamber after the
session before the committee he gave
another evidence of his atng-froid.
Not a cab was to be found.
“Sapristi,”. cried M. Caillau* as he
looked in vain for a friendly cab- driver.
Then an idea struck him, and he ap
proached a motor-car containing police
detectives.
“Is it you who are shadowing me?”
he asked.
“Yes, monsieur,” said one of the
letectives, surprised.
“Very well, then,” said Caillaux,
'take me home,” and he entered their

WASHINGTON, June 12—Boys
graduating from high schools this
year are urged by Dr. P. P. Ciaxton,
federal commissioner of education, to
continue their education and at the
I same time serve their country by go
ing to colleges where military train
ing is included in the curriculum.
Every educational institution of
college grade enrolling 100 or more
students for military instruction will
have army officers detailed as instruc
I tors. All students joining the train
ing corps will become members of the
United States army, but under the
present program of the war depart
ment will not be called for active
service until coming of age.
"The youths who avail themselves
of the privilege will be serving their
country's immediate as well as future
needs,” said Dr. Ciaxton. "They will
be answering the nation’s imperative
demand for trained men in war and
they will be building up a competent
leadership for the work that is to
come after the war."
