yard for something he found the lot
Of bedclothing given the boys on the

had flown. They had thrown the bed
clothes from the window and dropped
out on the cushion thus afforded and
decamped sometime during the night
Sheriff Bailey has wired and phoned
descriptions Of the boys to all officers

boys are charged was the larceny from

3S STATES PRESENT
Standardization Of Farm Products

System Explained
BY United Press.

by United Press.
CHICAGO, Nov. SO.-"The gradual
tendency OF this country is toward
landlord ownership of land" Charles
W. Holman, secretary. today told the
third national conference on market
ing and farm credits.
THE condition is threatening to be-
come almost as complicated as during
feudal times Holman continued.
Men live in luxury in cities, with
money made with the labor of tenants.
The condition is leading this country
to an unfortunate economic condition
almost as unfortunate as the condi-
tion from which Ireland, was just
pulled
Ireland, he said, has been led from
the oppression of his landlords. Eng
land passed law permitting the
British government to buy lands from
the landlords. Then they resold the
LAM TO Irish farmers under terms the
fargers could bear. A new system of
agriculture and marketing has further
aided Ireland to become prosperous,
he said
More than seven hundred delegates
representing thirty-eight states, were
in attendance at the second days ses-
sion today. The conference will end
Thursday evening.
Standardization Of farm products as
to quality and size and type of
products is necessary as an accurate
basis of price quotations, Charles J.
Brand, chief of the bureau of markets
of the department of agriculture, told
the conference today He said accur-
acy of standards in selling products
means smaller margin between the
price paid by the customer and the
price paid by the producer Poor quail
tiles and ungraded products are ruin
GUS to the whole market, he main
tanned. Failure to standardize pack
ages, he said, afforded opportunity for
dishonesty. That standardization of
containers is proper subject for fed
seral legislation, was his contention.
W. G. Scholtz. director of the Idaho
department of markets, told the con-
ference why Idaho created a depart
ment of markets. That the idea of
state assistance in farm marketing has
come to stay was his stated belief. He
detailed how the Idaho law works.
First it affords state employment bu-
reau where farmers wanting men and
men wanting jobs can get together
without expense to either. The bu-
reau's second function is to investi-
gate promoters circulars and prevent
Misrepresentation The third func-
ton of the bureau, marketing farm
products, is more gigantic in its scope,
and slower to get under way, he said
Frank L. Mcvey, chairman Of the
conference, in welcoming the dele
gates last night declared cooperative
marketing forecasts agricultural pros
perity. Millard R. Meyers. editor of
the American Cooperative Journal,
said farmers cooperative markets
had been universally successful, and
their failures not common.

KITCHENER ARRIVES

Will Report to King and Cabinet
on Results Of Visit; French
Call Class Of 1917
to Colors
By United Press.

Dy tuiLtu t-rtSS.
AMSTERDAM, Nov. 3O.-Germany
is expecting attacks in the Balkans
from all four sides, according to infor-
nation reaching here.
The kaiser's visit to Emperor Franz
Joseph yesterday is believed to have
related to defense plans. 1t is under
stood that the general staff at Berlin
is preparing for attacks from the fol-
lowing sources:
The Russians and perhaps the Rou-
manians on the north attempts of the
Russians to land on the Bulgarian
Black sea coast; British, French and
the remnants of the Serbs on the
south, and the Italians and Montene-
grins through Albania on the west.
The Bulgarians are counted on by
Germany to defend their own northern
frontier and the Turks are scheduled
to guard the Black Sea coast. 1t is be-
lieved that the Turks will predominate
against the allies in the south. The
Austrians will oppose the Italians and
the Germans will fill up the gaps ev-
erywhere, according to intinations of
their plans that reach here.
Owing to the severe winter. it is
thought unlikely that there will be any
more serious fighting this season, but
it is expected that the early spring
will see operations resumed on ter
rifle scale.

played four games, winning three and
tied one; Chickasha has played five
games, winning four and tied one.
The state championship game will
be played, probably in Oklahoma City
either Friday or Saturday of this
week. Should Chickasah be the one
to contest the capital city boys the
game will be most interesting. The
boys are nearly evenly matched in
weight and training and all bear clean
records.
"The only thing which may be a
little blot against as" said Coach
Reeds this morning lis that Chickasha
had broken training when it looked as
though the contest would be between
Norman and Cherokee. | am betting
that Oklahoma boys had done the
same.

atiye strength of Oklahoma and Chick

gin of 20 points, while Chickasha beat

margin of II points Norman, one Of
the teams now declared out of this sea

beat o c. $40. The same team de-
feated Chickasha by score of 1877.
Our boys are in training now for
the big game. We are going to win
that game if we get chance at it.
Oklahoma, Chickasha, Pawhuska,
Tulsa, each has 1000 per cent and
Pawhuska or Tulsa, one or the other,
will needs be dropped from the reckon
ing when their own game has been
settled That game has been played,
but remains undecided

our boys have been permitted to break

did the same and we viii have the
