Killing In lola.

Joe Often, an old time citizen OF
lola, was shot and almost instantly
killed in a room occupied by him
and a young widow, Mrs. Lena
Roberts, on the night of the 18th.
The widow claims he shot himself
but the officers look with suspicion
on her claim and have arrested her
and placed her in Jail, pending an
investigation. 1t seems these two
parties were engaged In a drunken
spree. A revolver was found on
the floor with enc cartridge ex-
ploded.

MENACE OF CRASHED BEEF
Very Fine Herds Of Cattle Are Pro-
duesd In Argentina Without Mouth
full Of Grain. e

Professor Herbert w. Mupford. who
spent six months of last year invests
eating cattle conditions in Argentina.
s. A.. says that very fine herds OF cat
tie are produced in Argentina without
a mouthfui of grain. These cattle are
fed simply grass and alfalfa and were
never in a stable.
He saw breeding cattle in extra fine
flesh on alfalfa pasture. one COW in
particular showing actual rolls Of fat
on her rump. and yet she had never
tasted anything else but alfalfa from
her birth.
Grass-fed mutton has gone from Ar,
gentina to London market too fat to
sell. On one ranch of 100000 acres
there are is 500 cattle, 10000 sheep
and 1000 horses-all market fat with
out a pound of grain. Most of the cat
tie country is fat and level and the
climate Is ideal for growing. as bliz-
yards and severe weather are un-
known.
Argentina Is a real competitor of
the United States and has during the
past three years shipped considerable
more beef to Great Britain than has
our own country. The beef can be de-
livered in London from Argentina as
cheaply as it can from Chicago.
Our beef growers have not awak-
ened to the dangerous competition of
the South American country. but the
facts are indisputable. Our great
ranges have practically disappeared
and new methods of beef raising are
coming into practice. But still better
methods must be adopted. else 1t will
be impossible for our farmers to raise
cattle profitably on our high-priced
lands in competition with our south
ern competitors.

new crop of Union Pacific millionaires. Southern
Pacific miliionaires. Wabash. Rock Island and
many other groups of new millionaires who have
