TURNING OUT STOCK
TOO EARLY IN SEASON
on. Y. Woodsl

This is the season when the stock
men of the mountain valleys are cast
ing teir eyes along the snowy ranges
speculating in their minds how long
1t will be urtil they can turn out their
horses and cattle and drift over the
divides to the summer range. To con
meet summer with this thought seems
to be far fetched. and mingled with
many disappointments ard loss OF
stock. 1t has been the costom of the
western slope stockmen as well as
others throughout the entire Rocky
mountain region to be little too
previous in turning out.
Their hay suppley seems to always
fall short and in order to piece out
with a few loads of forage purchased
here and there at high prices the ex-
pense account becomes too great for
them to stard, as some figure it, and
consequently they throw down the
bars of their feed pens and with their
grub wagons and force of COW
punchers take chanches in getting
over llle llt 10
always attended with harships and
loss of stock. And after they get over
and take a peep at the summer range
they can only see a little sage and oak
bushes sticking out here and there
and shivering up along the cold stor
age line of snow banks.
Remembering that they had used
their last load of hay the morning they
started out, it is useless to turn their
tired herds back to the valley, so they
leave their stock to rustic while all
hands go back to pull out the weaker
cows and horses which fell by the
wayside unable to buck snow any far
ther. The only thing to do under the
circumstances is to make the best of
it and stand the loss; and try to fig
ure out how much hay they have
saved by the early move, but the fig
ures fail 10 balance their account and
once more the stockman sees his mis-
take, and again and again resolves to
never try the time-worn experiment.
The stock which have lived through
the winter with scant feeding, and
which have been rushed over from
the feed pens to the cold storage
range, have to struggle along half the
grazing season in order to pick up
enough flesh to make shadow and to
shed off their winter-killed coats, yet
poorly prepared to take on sufficient
flesh to make them in good shipping
condition by fall.
Consequently the fall beef roundup
is again disappointment. The few
best ones are culled out while the
second grade is left on the range to
1nxuriate on the skimp grass that has
already been frosted and some of it
showed under by an early freak of
the weather never before seen in this

United States Senate. The charge
can be made that John F. Shafroth
expended two million dollars of the
peoples money to elect himself to
the United States Senate. In addi-
ton, the indications are he would
have expended twice that amount if
the money in the state treasury had
preparations of the Buchtel admins
tration were $2,444,593.16. The total
appropriation of the first Shafroth ad-
ministration was $3,432, ,66s.46,and of
the second Shafroth administration,
$4,348,S45.O5. The last Shafroth ad-
ministration had an increase in appro-
priations over the Buchtel admins
tration of s1,9O4,231.s9. Was this in
crease used for educational or penal
state institutions? Not that any one
ever discovered. 1t was used in in
creased salaries and more positions.
| Was the Shafroth administration
any better from a business viewpoint
than the Buchtel? Not in the least
On the other hand, it was noted for
wanton extravaganza How then was
the money used? Note the compar-
isons. In 19OS-09 the cost of running
the governors office was $4,000. In
1911-12, Shafroth increased it to
$4,000. The increase in the Secretary
of States office was $500; in the
auditors office there was an increase
of $1,000; in the treasurer office, of
$3.50. The superintendent of schools
expended $4,000 more under Shafroth's
while the state engineer jumped the
cost of that department s21 500 for the
period. The total increase in state
house payroll alone was $3S0,225.50.
These extra clerks and officials did
little else than labor for Shafroth Tor
the United States Senate.
How about TIE Ammons administra-
ton? is the almost daily query So
far as Governor Ammons is concerned
he had nothing but Shafroth debts
to start with, and he will never get
out of the woods. The total appro-
priations of his administration are
which is s631,51 above
the Buchtel appropriations. Ammons
has succeeded in cutting the cost of
current expenses. He has dispensed
with number of useless board and
bureaus, but his greatest problem has
been his war debt. For scme reason
or other it has cost almost three times
as much per man as the Peabody
campaign.
Governor Peabody had from 1900 to
1900 men in the field eighteen months,
the total cost of which was approxi-
mately 100000. Governor Ammons
has had 1000 men in the field little
less than four months. with an approx
innate cost of $650,000. General mill
tary disorder and lack of discipline
is given by those on the inside as the
reason for this large expense What

have been experienced time and again.
But such are the conditions here as
elsewhere, and how long the old ex-
pensive custom will continue remains
to be seen. Cattle especially are too
expensive for these economical stock
men to handle, and the sooner re-
ceiver is appointed the sooner the
stockmen will find landing

Miners Consider
Wilson, Plans

| Trinidad, Col, Sept. Today, one
year after the miners decided to
strike for an enforcement of Colorado
mining laws, 125 officers and mem
bers of the United Mine Workers of
America are meeting here to decide
whether or not they will consider a
plant of cancellation suggested by
President Woodrow Wilson.
The text Of the proposed agreement
is as follows:

disrupted the peace Of those sections
of the state to the extent that a state
f, of war has practically exised for
some time, and,

labor laws of the state.
2. That all striking miners who
have not been found guilty. of viola
ton of the law shall be given employ
ment by the employer they formerly
worked for, and where the place of
the employee has been filed, he shall

the same or other mines of the COM
pany.
3. Intimidation of union or non
union men strictly prohibited.
4. Current scale of wages, rules
and regulations for each mine to be
printed and posted.

Victory Scored By
Range!-C!ine Defense

SAN ANTONIO, Sept 21-The de-
Tense in the Rangel4Cline cases. now
on trial in the special session of court
for September. is just fairly getting
into action. ID. r.. Rosas, the first
case to he put on trial, has been &C
quilted.
At the opening of the trial attor-
neys for the defense made motoins to
quash the special venire and the spe-
cial term of court. Both motions were
|overruled by Judge w. S. Anderson of
the Thirty-seventh District Court.
Ten jurors were accepted the first
day, as follows: r. u. Moore, Emil
F. Maurer, 70. H. Henderson, J.. c.
johnson, T. q. Coffey, S. w. Gray, l.
der and R. D. Crane. Judge Anderson
ordered twenty talesmen summoned
for the next morning at $3.50, from
which the remaining two jurors-Ben
|Schwegman and George Houston, were
selected.
Eugene Buck, extsheriff and also
member of the grand jury which in
dicted all the men. was the only wit
ness of Importance. He gave the same
Testimony which he has given at the
trials of the six men hurriedly con-
victed at previous sessions of court
and which he has gotten down pretty
pat now.
The charge against Rosas was also
the same as that against the six con-
vieted and sentenced. The only diff
| ference seems to have been in the
shape of the jurors heads.
Jesse Campbell, the man who signed
his name to the promise of the officers
that these men would be allowed to
proceed in peace to the Mexican Dor
der, was also a witness. Evidently the
jurors considered his word on the wit
ness stand as worthless, as it was on
that paper given to the prisoners.
The fact that the other six men who
were tried before the RangellCline De
tense Committee had time to gather
it's forces together, gain publicity for
the cases and secure a fund for an
adequate defense, were all sentenced,
makes this victory the more signal.
Leading men and women all over
the country are now taking up the
matter and it is quite a different stu
alton from that of a few friendless,
moneyless workingmen being hustled
10 lie MmprlSOnHeng Oh Ii One CORNER
of the country to crafty race and
class spite, and with nobody to know
or care.
Conspicuous among those who are
now active in these cases are Eugene
| v. Debs and Leonard D. Abbott. The
former has issued ringing call to all
friends of Labor on behalf of these
men in an editorial in the Rfp-Saw
and is speaking in their behalf wher-
ever he goes.
All the cases which have resulted in
convictions have reversible points and
will be appealed and carried to the
Supreme Court if necessary, say the
attorneys for the defense. They de
clare the battle has just begun for the
freedom of these men.

This is a wise provision, because if they were capable of indefinite multiplication in the bowel alone, there would be no limit to their number except the life of their host. Again it gives man an op- portunity to destroy them in this external stage. The definite. specific preventive for all of them is the sanitary closet and sewer.

TO MAKE KNOWN NEED OF FOREIGN NATIONS
Department of Commerce to Give h. formation as to How Products May
 Be Sent to Proper Destination

The national department of commerce according to it's secretary. William c. Redfield, is preparing to make known to the people of America those products, manufactured and agricultural of which foreign nations are in need, and to give information as to how those products may be sent to points of destination.
 Information to this effect was obtained yesterday from Col. R. A. Mitchell of Gadsden, who spent the day in Birming- ham, and who was in receipt of a letter from the secretary of commerce. The letter was judged of certain significance in that it tended to prove that the ad- ministration is preparing to extend a helping hand in tho moment of financial depression.
 The interesting excerpt from the letter of the secretary follows.
 This department is putting forth spe- cial efforts to advance the interests of American industry by promoting com merce in the various articles produced from our fields and factories In further. sending commercial attaches and special agents to important trade centers who will cooperate with the bureau of for eign and domestic commerce :n bringing to the notice of American producers and exporters the particular import require ments of foreign markets and the condi- tions necessary for the sale of their pro- ducts"

DISCUSSES THREE COMMON VA RIETIES-CITY HEALTH OPEL GER GIVES OUT HEALTH BULLETIN NO. 21

An ailment which many people have, yet often time pay little attention to, is one treated this morning In health bulletin No. 21, issued weekly by Dr. R. NJ. Cunning ham, city health offices. The bulletin, one of the most interesting yet produced, en- titled, "Intestinal Parasites" is as fol lows:
 INTESTINAL PARASITES.
 HoolSworms, round worms and tape worms:
 There are about IS varieties of intes- tinal parasites, round and flat. Only the above three, however will be discussed. because they are common in this climate and state.
 HooKwoRMs.
 These are white or slightly brownish worms about one-third to one-half inch in length. There are male and female. They occur in tropical and subtropical climates. They are found in belt around the world between 30 parallel north and 30 parallel south. There are places, how ever, where they are found further south and north. The adult worms live in the upper part of the small intestine. They may De Tn considerable numbers. They live off the blood of their host. They have a biting mouth and attach them selves to the mucous membrane and suck the blood. They make little wounds, and bleeding sometimes follows these little bites. They thin blood (anemia) by their consumption of blood and by secreting a poison which destroys the real blood cells. The general effect is a stunted growth. debility, weakness and laziness. The general condition produced by hookworms predisposes to all infectious diseases, par ticularly tuberculosis, by diminishing the body resistance. It affects people of all races and ages. While common in the negro, it Is less damaging. It is found largely in children. It is said by Stiles to have been introduced into this country by African slaves, Africa being it's natural home.

"Illiteracy in Alabama; Let's Remove It." the
 Slogan

Montgomery, October 17.-(Special)-"n- bteracy in Alabama; Let's Remove It." Such will be the slogan at the next an nual session of the Alabama Educational association, which will meet in Montgom- cry next April.
 The time and place of the next annual convention of the Educational association were decided upon at meeting of the executive committee of the organization in Birmingham this week. and it was further decided to make the meeting next year the largest and most interesting in the history of Alabama.
 The imperative need of raising the standard of education in the state will be the principal theme about which the general discussions will revolve. Alabama is known to be practically at the foot of the list of states in the amount of Hitter acy, and the efforts of the educators in attendance upon the annual meeting of the association will be left that stigma off the states name.
 Thousands of buttons and banners bear ing the slogan will be distributed among the delegates in attendance upon the as- sociation, and plans will be made for a statewide campaign against illiteracy.
 Superintendent of Education William r. Feagin expressed the belief today that the next meeting of the association will mark the beginning of a new edu- catfonal epoch in Alabama.
