tack the loan do so as Germans or Ger
mans sympathizers. Many who favor
the loan do SO as sentimental grounds

If our pro-German faction had its

WAR RAIDS.

London has been raided and about

aviators have made some raids on the
cities of Germany. This they claim is
done in reprisal We cannot see any
good in either side dropping bombs on
cities and killing noneombatants. 1t is
of no military value and will have no
influence on the issues of the war and
will not hasten the day Of peace, but
only engender more and more hatred
and bitter feeling. whichever side
drops bombs into unfortfed cities and
kills noncombatants is guilty Of murder.
Let lhe aviators drop their bombs on

trenches on the munltlon depots, let
them wreck bridges and sink war yes

COUNTERFEIT $40 BILLS
AGAIN IN EVIDENCE

Oklahoma City, Jan. 25.-Excep-
tionally well-executed counterfeit $40
bills, photographs of an issue Of the
First National Bank OF Lone Wolf,
Oklahoma. have been successfully
passed at several business houses
during the past few days. Saturday
afternoon and Sunday, supposedly on
account of the banks having been
closed, were the times chosen by the
person or gang to float the spurious
paper. Tellers at four of the local
banks discovered the counterfeits as
soon as they were presented by de-
positors, the feel being queer
Photographs of the two sides of
the bill were pasted together, the
threads" being represented by ink
tracings on the pasted backs of each
slip. While almost perfect in ap-
pearance, the bills feel thin, and are
much more easily torn than the orig
inals. No traces of the persons re-
sponsible for the queer" have been
found

Foreman Kills Miner.

Chopick, Bohemian coal miner, was
shot and instantly killed Friday night
by Sam Snyder mine foreman, at
Coalton, a mining town eight miles
from here The killing was the out
come of a quarrel about employment
between the two, several months ago.
When the two men met in the office
of the coal company, Chopick is al
legged to have drawn a gun and
threatened Snyder. Snyder fired, the
bullet going through Chopick's face
and coming out at the back of the
head. Snyder pleaded self defense at
a preliminary hearing. Snyder has
a wife and family Chopick's rela-
tives are unknown.

ENCOURAGE
THE BABY BEEF
MOVEMENT
PRESENTATlVE OF THE STOCK
YARDS HERE YESTERDAY AND
TALKED TO BIG CROWD OF
INTERESTED FARMERS.

Considerable interest was aroused
in the baby beef movement in this
city yesterday, when a representative
of the Fort Worth stock yards and
the man who was the father of the
idea, addressed a large crowd of
farmers at the county court house.
The gentleman referred to, Mr.. C.
c. French, has been identified with
the cattle business for over forty
years, and Is the originator of many
innovations in the business, the most
pronounced being the baby beef
movement which has added so ma
terlally to the wealth of Texas cattle
men.
The idea Of the baby beef move
ment is not generally understood,
outside OF Texas, where il has been
in practice for the past few years,
hut it is to stimulate the cattle
ralsers to greater effort toward mar
keting a better brand OF beef at
much less the time required by the
old method of marketing three and
four year -old stock.
The principle II very simple and
the returns certain and swift. Take
the calf when born and never let
It lose its calf fat AS soon as 1t is
able 10 feed bepin giving grain or n
balanced ration that will retain the
original calf fat, and build up the
animal. In this manner when the
calf has reached the age of one year
or at most fourteen months, as
general rule it will have attained the
weight ef from eight hundred to one
thousand pounds, and will be what
is known no the markets as baby beef
of the finest quality, commanding
the highest price In this manner the
breeder will not be compelled to keep
the stock until it is three and four
years of age, at constantly increas-
ing cost, before putting it on the
market, and greater number of
head can be produced from the same
acreage.
The farms> at yesterdays meet
ing were greatly impressed with the
plan and no doubt it will be adopted
by many of them in this vicinity.

SHIPPERS
ORGANIZED
YESTERDAY
FARMERS COOPERATE TO SEND
THEIR PRODUCTS TO THE MAR
kET - OFFICERS OF oRGANI-
ZATlON CHOSEN.

Yesterday afternoon Il. p. Elrod,
farm demonstrat0r for the Frisco
Railroad and c. C. French, repre-
senting the Fort Worth Stock Yards
company, assisted in organizing a
shippers club in this city, which is
believed will be of material benefit
TO the farmers who have livestock and
other products Of the farm to sell.
The movement has become popular
clubs have already been organized in
Oklahoma
The object is to get the farmers
in all localities to have certain days
in which to ship their stock to the
markets. Very few have enough for
a carload but it is easy to gather a
car of stun from a neighborhood, il
all cooperate in this plan. For that
reason the clubs are being formed
and the railroads and stockyards are
cooperating with the farmers in
furthering this movement.
The officers of the new organiza-
tion selected yesterday were: Wal
ter Colbert, president; w. X. Hedges,
vice president; +. X. West, secre
tary treasurer.
The organization began with ten
members, and every one is pledged
to urge his nelghbor to join. The
and the organization is conducted
solely for the benefit of the farmer
and stock raiser. The President re-
quests that all who desire member
ship communicate with him or with
the secretary.
