SECRETARY OF AGRICULTURE
DISCUSSES MEAT SHORTAGE

Chicago, Nov. 4.-Addressing an au-
Gienca composed of stock raisers from
practically every state in the union,
at the National Dairy Show conven-
tion held recently, Secretary Houston
of the United States Department of
Agriculture, declared the short meat
supply TO be one of the most serious
problems confronting American agri-
culture. Houston approved the plan
of cattle raising on large ranches and
declared that no effort would be spared
by the Federal government in further
increasing production from this source
but insisted that the proper solution
of this problem depended on an in
creased interest in livestock raising
by farmers and in a more systematic
control and eradication of hog cholera,
cattle tick and tuberculosis.
Figures were quoted from govern
ment reports, showing that the pro-
duction Of meat in the United States
during the past fourteen years had
fallen off 3,00O,0O0,OOO pounds and that
the population of the nation during
this time had increased 22,OOO,O0O.

High School Play.

"My Uncle From India," the four
act farce which is to be presented
on the evening of November 13 at the
Holt opera house by the members of
the Dramatic Club of the high school,
is progressing very rapidly. Although
lit is a farce from beginning to end,
there are some solemn characters III
it. Philip Griffin, as Mr.. Mills, the
clerical student and private secretary,
can't understand how so many New
York people forget their pocketbooks
when they ask you to dine with them
or go for a ride. Kenneth Davis
shows real talent in the role of Mr..
Mcdonald, "just back from India"
and as the uncle with the "fixed idea
| Laban Brewer, in the role of Mr..
Marsiand, makes a good and patient
father when his house is turned topsy-
turvy. Leslie Tilton, in the role of
| Lothair Mcdonald, the would-be sport
who can only run up a few bills, is
/ g splendid substitute private secretary
teaching the young ladies music and
| literature. Rena Elliot, in the role
of Miss Smith, is fine guardian of
the girls and very motherly to the
private secretary, and shows good
taleno in portraying that character.
Ruth Harcleroad, as Edith Marsland,
is very pretty, naughty and flirta-
tious girl of seventeen. The other
characters are: Gustave Carhart as
Harvey Marsland; Mabel Hoffman as
Eva Webster, and Amelia Meyers as
the !andlady.
This morning Miss Thurlow ad-
dressed the student body on the
causes of the present war. She took
up what casued the war and not who
caused it. The causes, as given by
her, were as follows:
/. England wants the balance of
4 power
2. Austria is involved in race
question.
8. The Servians want a Slavic en-
pire.
4. France wants revenge for AL
SAGE Lorraine.
5. Germany wants more territory
and wants to keep the Slavs back.
6. Russia is trying TO consolidate
the many Balkan states into her en-
pire end also trying to gain sea-
port on the Mediterranean.
There are to be many more talks
by the teachers on various topics
They will come about every two
weeks.

FOUR BROTHERS
FACE SAME CHARGE

Charged with stealing cattle, C. O.,
0. X, U. S. and l.. B. Cuin, four
brothers, were arrested Monday at
Silsbee by Deputy Sheriffs Kemp,
Wright, Graham and johnson. The
brothers, who are engaged in ranch
ing near Silsbee, had rented eleven
dairy cows from Holtville dairyman,
but with the expiration of their lease
returned only nine of the cows and
were unable to account for the other
two. On investigating the case. it
was found that the two animals had
been sold to ranchers in the vicinity
of Imperial. Shortly after the sale
had been made both cows were found
dead, having been shot through the
head. Officers unearthed sufficient
evidence to enable them to locate the
culprits, with the result that the five
brothers were taken into custody.
On arriving at the Cuin ranch at
an early hour Monday morning the
deputies were at first unable to find
the owners, but after search last
ing some time three of the brothers
were discovered hidden in haystack
C. 0. Cuin was absent, having gone
to Imperial the preceding night. He
was arrested there a few hours later.
On investigating the records of the
men, it was found that O. X. Cuin
had heen a fugitive from justice since
1911. At that time he became impli-
Gated in a number of cow-stealing es-
capades, but escaped to Arizona, and
Up to the present time his where
abouts had not been known.

To Press Subscribers

1t had always been the rule of
the publishers to require cash in
advance on all subscriptions and
to stop subscriptions at expiration
of time, but for several months a
subscription credit plan has been
tried out. This has proven so un-
satisfactory that the cash in ad-
vance system will be adhered to
and all subscriptions discontinued
at expiration of time.

Charley Curtis as
Home Folks See Him

lin Topeka is published a clever
little paper called THE Pink Rag"
G. H. Trapp is the editor and this ia
what he says about Charles Curtis,
former Senator and candidate for
the Republican nomination.)
Ever notice what varying accents
you can put into a mans name
You can say TON" to express
everything from the friendliest
friendship to the most virulent hate.
The way the people of Topeka
and Kansas--say Charlie" Curtis
indicates great deal to the man
who watches just a little.
1t has been Curtis way ever since
he has been in the public eye, to
attend to the thousand and one lit
tie requests made by his constitu-
ents-and those who were not his
constituents-just as though they
were matters of the utmost import
ance to the well-being Of the ma
tion.
When Bill Jones of Jimtown wrote
to Curtis, the senator, that his PEN
sion voucher was delayed day,
Bill at once had an envoy-extraor-
dinary traipsing to the pension bu-
reau to find out why.
You know, of course, that there
was nothing the matter but that
mail clerk had put the voucher in
the wrong hole. But Curtis didn't
take even that for granted. He saw
to 1t that it went into the right
hole, and Bill Jones was happy
and a friend of Curtis for life.
