President of the American National Livestock Asso- citation Says Most Import ant Question is Elimina- tion of Expenses
WAR NOT CAUSE,
 OF HIGH PRICES
Federal Supervision of the Open Range is Suggested as Possible Economy and Western States Sanitary Federation is Proposed
ASSOCIATED PRESS DlsPATcHJ

SAN FRANCISCO, March 2A- Alarming conditions in the cattle in dustry, were described by H. J. Jastro, president of the American National Livestock association. in his annual address at the opening of the con- vention here. Unrenumeratve prices, ruinous market fluctations. fear of the effect of the removal of duties on cattle and meats and unsatisfac- tory range conditions. were given as
 the factors that threaten disaster to the cattle business.
 \ shortage of cattle he said, did not exist. The calamitous condition generally pictured by the public is
 mot true" We still export more
 meat products than we import, and years.
 That idea that meat prices had been raised by the European war, he de- nied. The supposition that the bellig-
 erent countries will require great sup plies of meat after the war is ended because those countries are without cattle, is also erroneous. He said the countries warning will be unable to buy our products.
 The most important question for stockmen, the public and the govern ment, is the elimination of unneces- sary expenses in the raising, market , ing and distributing of their prod uets, said Jastro. "The underlying cause of unprofitableness is needless
 expense"
 | Federal supervision of the open
 range was suggested as a possible
 enconomy. A sanitary convention was recommended for the promotion of the federation of western state CO., | operating in the interchange of cattle 1 and the exclusion of cattle from areas , infected with foot and mouth disease. ] When the matter was considered, the ! delegates from Texas, Arizona and | New Mexico left the meeting, stating 1 that a resolution by Dr. Chas. Kans, state veterinarian of California, pro- vided the abandonment of certain
 state regulations which the three
 states would not relinqush Another
 effort will be made. it is said, to

Wives of Several Candidates at Tokio Make Personal Visits and Appeals to the Voters in Campaign Just Closed
CAMPAIGN IS
 MOST EXPENSIN r.
General Election is Held to Choose New House of Representatives Succeed ing Body Dissolved on Christmas Dav
ASSOCIATED PRESS DISPATCH

T OK To. (Thursday), March D. Closing an exciting campaign during which the wives of several of the can didates at Tokio made personal visits and appeals to voters. a general elec- ton was held today throughout the Japanese empire to choose new house of representatives The last house was dissolved by the Emperor on Christmas day because of it's re- fusal to ratify the minrary program of the cabinet. The campaign has been the most exciting and expensive in the history of Japan.
 The election, not only brings in q new house. but decides the fate of the cabinet headed by Count Okuma. In the last diet the ministry was op- posed by q ma jority, should this ma lority, represented by Seiyukai or a conservative party. be returned to the ca ninet they might have to retire from office According to the latest fore casts. however. the independents are likely to be increased from twelve to forty and thus hold the balance in :he house. The growth of democracy is evidenced By an increased appeal to the reason of the voters. Premier Okl ma made a whirlwind campaign speaking from q special train. while leaders like Yukio Osaki. minister Of justice. distributed their views by photographs.
 The government insisted upon ar increase in the army of two divisions Baron Kato. the foreign minister. de- clared that the adoption of this meas urc would not affect Japan's relations with the other powers. The Seiyuka party contended the success of the government in pushing this measure through would be n blow to cOnsti- tutionalism.
 Indications before the election were that the contest would be exceedingly close. The governmental groups. con sisting chiefly of the progressive Doshi- Kai and ChuZ-kai, as well a' the nationalist group Kokuminto, hav' waged strenuous campaign Nir tually all the cabinet members mad'

GERMANS ACTIVE
 NOW IN FLANDERS
Are Reported as Preparing for Supreme Effort There and Also to Have Engag- ed in Much Fighting Along the Yser
TAssoCIArED PRESS DIsPATCHJ

LONDON. March 26-A British air raid on Hotoken near Antwerp, where ;he Germans are constructing subma- rines; another threatened effort by the Germans in Flanders and heavy figh>- ing in the Carpathans are the out standing features of today's war news.
 Five British airmen starting from Dunkirll took part in raid on the sub marine yards, but only two of them reached the mark. Two were obliged to turn back owing to thick weather, the third was compelled to land in Hol- land because of engine trouble, and was interned. The British admiralty report said that two of the five submarines observed on the slips were dama ged and the works set on fire.
 The Germans are reported as pre- parng for another supreme effort in Flanders. Already there has been con- siderable fighting along the Yser. the Germans having bombarded Nieuport and DiXmude. while the Belgians made progress along both banks of the river. The big battle of the moment, how ever, is the progress between the Dukla pass and Uzsok pass in the Carpathians where in the official communications ol the Russians it is claimed they cap tured a number of Austrians and made q general advance. Austrian correspon- dents say the battle is likely to con tinue for some time. T. is possible the

 Commission Goes On
 Although it has reduced it's office force. the state land commission is going ahead with certain lines of work which. the members feel, cannot be dropped at this time, no matter what happens The business of timber sales is being carried out, in spite of the fact that there is no money to pay the men who are doing the north, and the money received from sales is being turned over to the state treasury The S5,00O re- ceived yesterday made the total from this source in excess of s70,O00 since January, 1914.
 The commission has discontinued all field work, and every other line which does not actually have to be carried on at this time, said Chair man Mulford Winsor yesterday But there are these timber sales which must be made some 1900 leases ant permits to be renewed, and the lant office work which simply cannot be dropped, without serious loss to tho state.

NEW ERuIr JUICES.

That the juice of cuTrants, black
berries, black raspberries, sour cher
ries and peaches may be prepared
and kept as successfully as grape
juice and by the same methods, has
now been demonstrated in the course
of a series of Investigations which
the United States Department of Ag-
riculture is conducting into the whole
complicated question of fruit juices.
The juices of the fruits mentioned, it
has been found, retain their charac-
teristic color and flavor after being
stefilized and stored away and can.
therefore, be made available for use
throughout the year in households
and at soda fountains. etc. In this
way it is thought much fruit that has
hitherto been allowed to go to waste
may be utilized.
For reasons, however, which are
not as yet very thoroughly under
stood, the various fruits differ greatly
in the effects of sterilization upon
them. Thus, strawberry juice and red
raspberry juice lose their distinctive
colors and fiayors very readily, and,
therefore, can not be put up on com.
mercial scale and marketed as grape
juice is. Lemon and orange juices al
so undergo peculiar changes in flavor
after sterilization and no satisfactory
method of overcoming this obstacle
has yet been developed. Lemon juice
is the more promising but this, too,
canot yet be manufactured CONNER
cially with success. With certain pre-
cautions, on the other hand pineap-
pies can be made to- yield steriliz-
ed juice of very attractive flavor
which should have distinct CONNER
cial possibilities. The juice, however,
should be kept in cold storage at from
SO to So degrees Fahrenheit after
sterilization, and most of the sus-
pended material should be removed
by means of a milk separator or by fill
