BIG LIVE STOCK YEAR
FOR The SOUTHWEST
Best In Half a Century, Says
Government Expert.

Hereford, Tex.-This is to be the
greatest year for stockmen of the south
west in half century, according to
DR.. George A. Lipp Of the bureau Of
animal industry of the department of
agriculture, who recently made a tour
of parts of Texas and New Mexico.
Taken as whole, last winter was
hard on both cattle and Sheep" says
DR.. Lipp, but the loss has been COM
paratively small, less even than in less
severe winters, because the stockman
has learned how to take care of his
stock. They have come to realize that
they must feed; that winter range
alone will not produce the income to
which they are entitled.
Cattle and sheep are worth too much
these days to lose Ewes are worth
$3.50 head and wool is likely to be
worth IS to % cents pound this year.
The prospects for a big spring crop Of
lambs is better than it has been for
long time. 1t would take miracle to
prevent the stockman of the southwest
making some money this year. There
Is very little scab and little infection on
the open range"
Conditions in the western part of
New Mexico and in Arizona have not
been good, particularly among the
Moqui and Navajo Indians. who have
been heavy losers of sheep from cold
weather and deep SHOWS. The govern
ment has begun the erection of wind
mills on the Indian reservations of New
Mexico and Arizona to foster the live
stock industry.

any present submarine, and will elimi-
nate the dangers to the crew of chic
rine and sulphuric acid gas poisoning.
Mr.. Edison and his staff are now
working on .the batteries for the new
submarine. the LIS, and it was an
nounced that Mrs. John Eyre Sloane,
daughter Of Mr.. and Mrs. Edison, had
accepted the invitation of Secretary Of
the Navy Daniels to name the vessel.
This is the only submarine which the
government has attempted to build in
one of its own yards.
An agent of one of the powers at war
had visited the Edison laboratories to
negotiate for the purchase of supply
of the new batteries. Since the war
began practically all of the belligerents
have sought to equip submarines with
Edison batteries. but the inventor has
refused to deliver any until they should
have proved that they could stand all
of the most severe tests to which they
could be subjected.
Mr.. Edison has been experimenting
on submarine batteries since 1910. One
OF the European powers now at war
began three years ago to attempt to
obtain batteries for its submarines
from him. MI" Hutchinson said that the
inventor had begun work on the sub
marine batteries for humanitarian rea-
sons. hoping to protect crews from the
Ill ~ hot II w
He added that all navies would be al
lowed to use the batteries for their sub
marines.
Before the L-S is launched at Ports
mouth another United States subma-
rine will be equipped with the Edison
batteries. This is the ED, whose crew
suffered severely from poisoning by
chlorine gas when their craft was sub
merged near Newport last summer.
When the ED was laid up after that
accident it was decided to install the
Edison batteries, and the Ed probably
will return to the water equipped with
them in few weeks.
lone of the greatest difficulties with
submarines has been the danger from
chlorine poisoning" Mr.. Hutchinson
said 1.-THE batteries at present contain
sulphuric acid. If 1t is able to escape

present. 1t eats its way into the inner
steel skin of the submarine.
The new Edison battery contains a

SELLERS STATEMENT,

There is much that is true in the
statement just issued by Oscar Seller
of Jamesown, but the responsibility
should be put at the door of the leg
islature. Governor Hanna cannot be
charged with the system of govern
ment that encourages eXtravagant ex
pendiures. North Dakota is going
through the same process of evolu
ton that other states of its age have
gone through.
The board system of management
in which responsibility IS divided, has
been a favorite with state legisla
lures. Here in North Dakota oul
law makers have refused to vest the
proper authority in the chief excu
tive, preferring rather to peddle I,
out to boards and commissions.
North Dakota should revamp man,
Of its departments and abolish use
less boards and commissions. Every
one knows that Implications exist. bu
the legislature has yet to be elected
with sufficient courage to prune ant
cut away the superfluous branches O.
our administrative forces.
Minnesota and Wisconsin hav,
over'indulged in the luxury of ex
pensive boards until the tax payer!
are demanding reform. Unfortunate
ly, they expect the governors and ex
ecutive officials to bring about tn,
desired changes. Just here is wher,
they fail. Voters should insist upol
pledging legislative members to econ
omy and place upon their shoulder
, the task of remodeling the state gov
ernment along the lines of create
efficiency.
Not enough care is taken in tn
selection of legislative members
The voters may elect governo
pledged to economy and retrench
ments, but unless he has the legisla
ture with him in his program ther
;. can be. nothing but dismal failure
We all are prone to expect too mucl
from executive officials, while blind
ing ourselves to the importance {

lature.

You know the result. And the
same conclusion follows in the case
of man, a community, a state or an
empire.
The writer came to Brown County
thirty-four years ago and some years
later had to go down to the Twll,
Cities and take in a Buffalo Bill Wild
West Show in order to get close
look at an Indian. Even the bleached
bones of the extinct buffalo had been
picked up and Shipped off for com.
mercial purposes prior to that time.
And yet, even today, such is the re-
suit of sensational stories sent out by
local papers, friends in the east think
l am in hourly danger of an Indian
massacre or Of being trampled to
death in a stampede Of ponderous
bison. There's tribe of Indians on

Such was the result of the wrong
