which Japanese Are Detained.
ofieers OF the War Department are
awaiting a more complete report from
MAI. Gen William p. DuvaIl Z. S. A..
commander-in-chief of the Philippines
division OF the arrest Of the two Japan
csc spies at Manila
The mere fact Of their arrest has al
ready been reported. but the department
officers cabled for additional details Of
the case.
What they want TO know especially is
the law under which the men are being
detained. There Is no law in this coun-
try warranting the arrest OF spies in
time OF peace. There may se a statute
in the Philippines, however. under which
the Japs can be held. The department
has cabled for this information TO as
certain under what authority the men
are being held.
While it is not expected here that the
japanese government viii mako any rep
reservations on the subject TO the State
Department as the men were caught
red-handed. at the same time the higher
officers OF the government are anxious to
prevent international complications aris-
Ing out OF the present arrests.

Judge sam II. Cowan, OF Fort Worth,
Tex, who is the attorney for the Ameri-
car National Live stock Association and
the Cattle Raisers' Association OF Texas,
Yesterday told the Senate committee that
is investigating the high cost OF living
that the people of the United States need
never expect to get any more cheap beef.
There Isn't any use in the people Of the
United States talking about getting any
more cheap beef" said Judge Cowan.
1.-THE advance in land values, and the in
crease IN the cost OF feed. in wages. and
in every item Of the cost OF production
have been such that the price of cattle
must be maintained al its present level
or the growers will go out OF the business.
"As it is, the herds on many great
ranches In the Southwest are being sold
of and the land is being sold to farmers
IN small tracts One great ranch that
formerly grazed 10000 head now has less
than 10000 head Another Of 49, 600 acres
that grazed 5000 head, has ali been cut up
and sold TO cotton growers. If cattle
raising was very profitable that kind OF
thing would not happen.
What Tariff Means.
II don't see what you can do to remedy
existing conditions unless you can repeal
the law OF supply and demand If you
take the tariff of cattle, the country
viii be flooded with Mexican cattle and
the price will be cut down; but our
growers will go out Of business, the sup
ply will be reduced, and in no time the
price will return TO the higher level.
THE most important question is how
to bring about the raising OF more cattle
The only answer Is, make It profitable
and keep it profitable
Judge Cowan said the percentage Of
profit in cattle raising at the present
high prices is less than il was six years
ago when the increased investment re-
CURED in the business is considered. He
attributed the advance in the price OF
corn and other farm products to a de-
crease in the ratio Of production to pop
production per acre,
City's Attractions Blamed.
The lure Of the city. which takes the
young men from the farms and makes Il
practically impossible for the farmer 10
obtain the labor he requires, explains,
according to Judge COwan, the falling OF
in production as compared to increases
IN population
Judge Cowan gave the committee de-
tailed figures showing the cost Of. one
steer out Of a bunch sold in Fort Worth
from the time it was sold by the raiser
until It reached the consumers table. It
cost the packer $50. was sold to the
butcher for $40. and cost the con
sumer $11250

THE WOlE.

The wolf is an animal a little
larger than an ordinary dog. He
is sly, cunning, can scent danger
and is always on the lookout. He
lives in the woods and on the prai-
ries, making his home by digging
a hole in the ground close to big
rock or on the hillside. He lives
on rabbits and other wild animals,
sometimes killing sheep and calves.
This reminds me of wolf who
had his den near a pasture. A
rancher offered a reward of two of
his finest steers for the scalp of
the wolf, because he and his band
had been killing some calves and
sheep for mere pastime.
One day a cowboy saw this band
after a young heifer; the leader sat
on a knoll while his companions
tried to capture the young animal.
Suddenly he sprang up, ran to-
ward the heifer and, looking at his
companions as if to say, Let me
show you how" he gave a quick
leap and grabbed her by the throat.
throwing her to the ground and
killing her. Then the cowboy rode
up, scared the wolves away and
poisoned the meat in few places.
The next day when he went back
to get his wolf he found the meat

THE GRAY TIMBER WOLF

THE GRAY TIMBER WOLF
The gray wolf is abundant in
the northern parts of North Amer
lea, except in the long settled dis
tricts from which it has been ex-
PEELED by man. 1t is the only kind
found in Canada. A few still re-
main in the mountainous and wood
ed parts of England. Packs of
wolves hang around the herds of
Buffaloes (bison) on the western
prairies, not daring to attack
strong animals, but ready to seize
any sickly straggler that falls be-
hind the rest. They hunt and run
down deer The gray wolf equals
the European species in cunning
and has been known to bite off the
cord close to the trigger OF a set
gun, afterwards to devour in safety
the bait placed before the muzzle.
It has also been known to haul up
fishing lines set in hole OF the
ice and to help itself to the fish.
It is frequently taken by means OF
pitfalls. On the prairies, the In
dams kill great numbers OF wolves
by enclosing them in a circle grad
ually reduced but originally extend
ing over many miles. A premium
from $40 to 500 head was form
ally paid in some parts OF America
for the destruction of wolves

The Pianola Piano

In every country of the world-in
every city of importance-the Plan
ola has now become more widely
known and popular than any other
piano made.
This great success has led to i'm
itations, but 800 patents, many OF
them basic, secure to. the Pianola
Piano it's continued leadership.
Not one of the many instruments
now claiming equality with the
Pianola Piano possesses the Metro
style, or the Themodist or the grad
uated tone, nor can any of them be
obtained in the famous Weber Pi-
anO.
Any of these points is enough to
decide you in favor of the genuine
Pianola Piano and by investigating
you will find that the Pianola Pr
ano costs no more than many of
the inferior limitations, and you
can buy them on easy terms turn
ing in your present instrument as
part payment.

THE WOLF.

The wolf is cunning and
sneaky animal. 1t roams in
the thick forest in day and night
hunting for food. He is not afraid
to attack a person or small animal.
The way he gets his food is to Kill
or steal it. If he sees an animal
smaller or not much larger than
himself he will kill it. In another
way he will steal it from the
chicken coops, or when a flock OF
geese or some other wild birds
alight to the ground he will silent
ly steal through the brush and
quickly seize them and lie in his
cave or in some thick brush in walt
for another flock.
He is bold, but he will not en-
ter a chicken house in the daytime,
but will wait until night and then,
when he can hear no sound, he
boldly goes in and seizes a hen and
sneaks away. The farmer may
hear this noise and the hens are
jumping around and squawking, but
he thinks it is only the noise
of some of the chickens which
have fallen off of their roosts or
the squawking of some hen.
So these are the traits Of the
wild timber wolf.
