agriculture Monday so as to include
all the territory east of the Mississippi
and north OF Tennessee in a restricted
area out of which no shipments of live
stock, except for slaughter within
forty Eight hours will be permitted to
the south or west.
All of the great slaughtering CEN
ters are located in the restricted terri
tory and there is little shipping Of live
cattle out of it. but the new order was
deemed necessary to protect the stock
producing sections from infection.
Two important new regulations were
added Monday. on defining Immediate
slaughter" as used in existing orders,
as within forty Eight hours and an
other prohibiting the transportation
OF livestock In any part of the United
States after Feb. IL except in disin-
fected cars.
Owing to the fact that few or no
cases of foot and mouth disease have
been found in Virginia. West Virginia,
Vermont Maine and the District of
Columbia, stock owners in these juris-
dictions will be permitted under the
revised regulations to ship out stock
upon affidavit that it has been on their
farms for certain length of time and
has not been exposed to any risk Of
coutagion

London. Feb. A. Under supervision
by American women. canteens are to
be established at all the leading rail-
way stations in London where sand
witches, coffee and other light refresh
ments will be supplied free to soldiers
in uniform.
Thousands Of soldiers pass thru
London daily, frequently without suf-
ticient money to buy food.
In work at railway stations. the
American women who have been look
ing after stranded Americans and Bel
gian refugees, have learned of the
great need for canteens where the SOL
diers can be promptly provided with
nourishing food without cost. The
war office is so well impressed with
the women's plan that It's assistance
in carrying on the work mas been as
Sured.
Mrs. Viola Scott, Mrs. A. T Stewart
and a score of other American women
who have been assisting travellers ever
since the opening of the war are the
prime movers in the plan and have the
backing of the entire American wom-
ems war relief committee.
Mrs. Benjamin Lathrop, who is one
OF the most active workers in the
French emergency committee organ
lied to supply the immediate needs of
hospitals in the north of France. has
interested Mrs. II. G. Hoover and many
other American women in this particu-
lar movement and is collecting gener-
GUS quantities of ether ani other hos
pital supplies so sadly needed in many
Of the isolated hospitals near the bat
tie line. Mrs. La throp left London this
week for an inspection tour in north

copied the Craftsmanship of the phil
anthropic committee Of the Society Of
American Women in London. This
already has q number of workrooTnS
established for the employment Of
women thrown out of work by the
war but the need is so great that a
| marked extension of this work is
planned. Mrs. A. 7. Stewart, with the
assistance of this committee, has just
| opened a workroom at l23 Victoria
street, where INDECENT gentlewomen
will be afforded an opportunity to earn
a living. At present fifty women are
afforded employment there most Of

100000 ANNUALLY TO
COUNTIES FOR ROADS

The house committee on roads
and highways yesterday afternoon
recommended the passage Of House
Bill No. 63. by DR.. Veal, Of Chaves
county, providing for the payment
of an automobile registration fee of
30 cents per horsepower, and for
the return to the various counties in
which the fees originate of all but 5
per cent of the funds collected. DR..
Veal estimates that such a bill will
give the counties a total of $50, 900
annually for road Improvement.
The bill amends the 1913 automo-
bile law, under which approximately y
$50, 600 is being collected annually,
all of which, after the deduction of
administration expenses, goes to the
state highway commission.
The Veal bill provides that no
other additional fee, license or prop
erty tax, shall be charged against
motor vehicles. 1t limits the ad-
ministration expenses to per cent
of the funds collected.
In view of the provisions of the
Veal bill, House Bill No. 80, by DR..
Skeen, of Eddy county, which pro-
vided for the repayment to counties,
under the present fee system, of 80
per cent of the fees collected, was
reported adversely by the commit.

location for a mill and was laid out

factories, mills. creameries, etc, il
the farm lands were more thickly

CIGARET SMOKERS LOSE

A conductor is charged with Is de.
merit marks for smoking cigarets
while on duty on passenger train.
This is the most remarkable item on
the discipline bulletin for the month
of January, which has been issued
from the office of l.. U. Morris,
superintendent of the eastern di-
vision of the FL Paso and South
western system. Apparently. Gig
aret smoking has come to be regard
ed as almost az serious an offense as
the formidable rule g." the valu-
alton of which means instant dis
missal. This bulletin shows two
brakemen discharged from the SER
vice for drinking Intoxicating
liquors, which is the brutal way of
expressing rule G. A telegraph
operator was charged with 30 marks
for the failure to deliver a slow
order, in making the transfer to the
operator who relieved him. A con-
ductor was charged with 10 marks
for displaying poor judgment in the
handling of his train, which resulted
in delay to passenger train in the
words of the baseball fan, for pull
ing bone headed play" An agent
was charged with 10 marks for max
ing impertinent and unbusinesslike
notation on letter.
Four or five employees received
credit marks for displaying a lively
interest in the company's interest by
doing their own prescribed duties in
order to avoid delay to traffic. Fl

kLASSiC KLANS WIN

The Klassic Klan and Clio socie ties
of the high school played two games
Friday evening. A large crowd
witnessed the games and saw the X g.
X. society trample the banners of
their opponents, both in the bows
and girls games, the girls winning
by score of 20 to Is, while the boys
only succeeded in making one more
point than the Clos, the score stand
ing 2l to 20.
These games were fast from start
to finish and the result gave the
Klassic Klan girls the championship
Of the year.
The best of these two societies will
join in the games Friday and Satur-
day nights at the opera house when
the local teams meet Amarillo high
school and two games will be played
each night.
Our boys are not so la rye but they
play fast and have good team work.
The team that wins from them will
know they have been in a game.
When it comes to the girls game we
have nothing to say because it is
usually suppo cd they will win and
the only question is: How many
scores will they make?"
Don't miss the games tomorrow
night and it's cinch the house
won't hold the crowd Saturday
night.

And can't get it back!

That | loved her very dear.
But if she did not want my heart
To kindly send it here!

Through all my dreary life,
But If did. I'd like to have
My heart to give my wife!

And so I'll keep your broken heart
To remember where we met"
