BEEF MEETINGS

Two meetings In regard to the
beet prospects were held this
week, and q committee of bust
ness men has been appointed to
assist the agriculturist of the
Beet company in securing a larg-
er acreage than heretofore. The
committee is as follows: Frank
Gretchen. Joan Duncan, Frank
White. A. P. Knuckey and w. S.
Partridge.
The business men of the town
seem to believe that the sugar
beet crop 10 a paying one, if same
be handled in a thorough manner.
One thing is certain, and that is
that any man who grows beets is
sure Of a cash market for his
product.
The agitation throughout the
valley for a higher price for beets
10 general. though the sugar COM
panies claim that they have sign
ed all the acreage that they care
for in most parts. 1t appears to
be q common belief that the
farmer is entitled to a higher
price, especially when the COM
panies are receiving a much better
price than heretofore.
The sugar company is not the
instigator Of the campaign for
more acreage which is to be wag-
ed here. They appear to be will
ing to let the farmer use his own
judgement and either grow beets
or not grow them.

QUARANTINE VIOLATED

Brand Inspector j.. r. Smith,
who caSne to Holly last week on
account Of IN item Id this paper
stating that the cattle quarantine
-ha2-hesn. bseles1.bs paF$iss dsiE-
ing stock from Kansas into this
state. was in town again Monday,
and he states that the informa-
ton was correct, and that several
warrants have been issued for
those guilty.
Fifteen cars of stock, according
to him, were shipped in by the
KY Ranch, and warrants for the
arrest of the owners have already
been served. Thad Huey, Of Las
Animas, has also been arrested,
he being charged with unloading
stock at Coolidge, driving across
the line to Holly, again loading
and shipping to the above town.
Many other violations are being
investigated by Mr.. Smith, and
he reports that several other ar
rest will be made this week.
Many head Of cattle have been
driven across the line, and each
guilty party will now have 4
serious problem to confront. An
example will no doubt be made
Of all captured by killing their
stock and imposing fines Of jail
sentences.
Persons knowing of violations
should report same. 1t is only
by united effort that the foot and
mouth disease will be kept from
the state, and once in the state
the stoekmen and farmers will
suffer losses of hundreds of
thousands of dollars.

FRozE TO DEATH

James Crum, who resided near
Towner, was frozen to death last
Saturday night, he becoming lost
on the prairies and searching
parties being unable to find him
before death arrived.
Mr.. Crum, with two sons, was
returning to his home with a load
of supplies, and the storm max
ing it impossible for tbe team to
haul the load, he unhitched the
team, mounted his two sons upon
the mules and started toward his
home on foot, it only being a
distance of several miles, but it
10 apparant that he lost his way,
with the above result.

PLENTY OF WATER

The reservoirs have more
water in them at present than at
any other time in their history
with but one exception" said Mr..
W. S. Partridge last Monday.
I'VE have had a good run of
water for some time and the
farmers under the Amity are
assured of plenty of water for
any kind of crop which they
might plant"
This is indeed great news for
all farmers and news which they
certainly appreciate. 1t means a
big crop this fall.

Governor did not feel like aban-

Right You Are.

The only real and lasting success
comes from benefiting humanity in
some manner. No business man
achieves success unless he helps ad-
vance the cause of his community,
while building up his Individual
business and reaping the reward in
dollars and cents. The man who is
established in business will devote
some time to developing his home
community. The fy-by-night kind
have no home interests of course and
try to squeeze out every available
dollar without regiving value re-
cieved. Neglecting to promote the
prosperity of your country is like
trying to farm, year after year, with
out returning something to the soil
to renew fertility. --Carlton Vidette.

MEAT IS A STIMULANT.
Hence, Eaten In Excess, 1t Is Bad For
Both Body and Mind.

The director of one of the largest
physical culture schools in the United &
States said not long ago to friend II
mine: .s
every time eat piece of good
beefsteak I feel as stimulated as if /
had drunk cocktail"
This curious statement embodies a
truth of which most people are I'M
aware.
Meat is not merely food. 1t also is
stimulant, with definite celebrating
effects on both mind and body.
Eaten in excess, moreover, it acts
much as does an excessive amount of
the alcoholic beverage mentioned by
the physical culture director.
That is to say, it tends in the first
place, to cause nervous 1rritability max
ing it more difficult for man to con
troll his passions and sometimes max.
ing him positively savage.
And, in the second place, when eaten
in excess it makes him mentally inert
and stupid.
The reason for this SECOND effect is
well known to all scientific students of
food values. .- ..
Cooked meat, the form in which meat
usually is eaten, is not easy to digest
If too much of it is eaten imperfect
digestion results, and the blood stream
is poisoned by the decomposing animal
food in the alimentary canal.
Not total abstinence, but temperance
enough meat to spur the mind, no
enough to deaden it-that is the lesson
to be drawn from the demonstrated
stimulant effect Of animal food. II.

IN BURNING STRAW STACK
Bodies Of Two Murdered Men Are
Discovered.

Discovered.
Rugby, N. D., Oct. 13.-The bodies
of two unidentified men, the heads OF
both crushed as if by blow from
some heavy instrument, were found
near here in burning straw stack.
The features of both victims had
been scared by the flames so that
they were undistinguishable and NO
: identifying papers were found on
either. o..
A pocketbook containing $4.6S was
found on one of them, however, which
the authorities think, indicates tina,
robbery was not the motive for the
murder. -...-
The straw stack was located one
mile west of the city, near the rail.
road tracks. It is thought the men
were killed by blows from coupling
pins.
The bodies had apparently been in
the straw stack for several days.

The Charm They Use on Animals They
Succumb to Themselves.
/ Cases of fascination by serpents Of
birds and other small animals have
been too frequently reported to admit
Of serious doubt on the subject. Evi-
IDENTIFY it is simply kind Of hypnotism
and based, like human hypnotism, on
the effects of rhythmical impressions
made upon the nervous system
Experiment has proved that the mo-
notonous swinging of glittering OBJ
ject before the eyes will throw many
men and women into hypnotic sleep.
When serpent charms or fascinates a
bird or small quadruped it employs a
similar method. 1t sways it's head with
glittering eyes or sets it's brilliantly
colored coils into silent rhythmic move
ment within sight Of it's victim, and
the latter gradually yields to the ia
1uence.
But the most dangerous serpents are
themselves subject to this very hyp-
motto control, a fact which is the basis
Of the proceedings Of the serpent
charmers of India and those, Of 9th
er countries where venomous snakes
abound. - <.S1s>-
Music, or the monotonous repetition
Of musical notes, appears to be the
most effective agent in serpent charm
ing It may be remarked that accord
ing to some observers the sounds pro-
duced by rattlesnake, and even the
loud kissing of some serpents, have Y
hypnotic influence, or at least sort or
paralyzing force, due probably to ter
ror. The cobras of southern Asia and
the closely related najas Of Africa will
come out Of holes, erect their heads
and a part Of their bodies and sway
| about in kind of serpent dance when
they hear the notes of a pipe played
by skilled performer.
However, no cobra charmer ever has
sufficient confidence in his control over
his dangerous subjects to neglect the
removal Of their fangs.

man within few minutes of it's in
