agreements recently entered into with
nearly all western railroads, where
the seniority rights of the members
OF the brotherhood who are now or

reinstate them to their former posi-
tions at the close of the war or upon

TRANSPORT SUNK
WITHOUT WARNING
German Submarine Sinks u. 8. Ship
HOmeward BOmd-7O
Lives Lost

WASHINGTON, D. C.-The Amer
lean army transport Antilles, home
ward bound under convoy. was tor
pedoed and sunk by a German sub
marine in the war zone Wednesday.
About seventy men are missing and
probably lost.
All the army and navy officers
aboard and the ships master were
among the 1877 survivors. The miss
ing are members of the crew, three
civilian engineers, some enlisted men
of the navy and sixteen of thirty
three soldiers returning home for
various reasons. Neither the sub
marine nor the torpedo was seen and
the transport, hit squarely amid
ships, sank in five minutes.
This tragedy of the sea. the first
in which an American ship engaged
in war duty has been lost, is the
first of its magnitude to bring home
to the people of the United States
the rigors of the war in which they
have engaged against Germany. It
carries the largest casualty list of
the war of American lives and marks
the first success of German subma-
rine attacks on American transports.
That the loss of life was not
greater is due to the safeguards with
which the navy has surrounded the
transport service and the quick res
cue work of the conveying warships.

NO SHOOTING OF DUCKS
BEFORE SUNRISE, RULING
State Fish and Game Department
Will Enforce State Regulation
ass@t0~ Duck Shooting

r The state fish and game depart
ment announces that it will enforce
to the letter any violations of the
game law prohibiting the shooting Of
ducks before or afer sunrise. The
department holds that the federal
which went into effect
October Is, permitting the shooting
of ducks a half hour before sunrise,
does not apply to Idaho. The regu-
lation is made subject to the pro-
visions of state laws restricting
shooting during that time. The Idaho
law provides that ducks can only be
shot from sun up to sun down.
This department will enforce the
state law" said Chief Clerk Cliff to-
day following receipt of a communi-
cation from Washington, relating to
the regulation, allowing a half hour
for shooting before the sun rises.
ut will be noted that this communi-
cation says that the change in the
migratory bird law as adopted by
the federal government is subject to
the provisions of the state laws. 1t
will permit the shooting of ducks in
those states half hour before sun

age It to Eat Grain.

The colt should be left in cool,
dark stall during the day If the mare
Is worked, asserts DR.. @. w. McCamp-
bell, associate professor Of animal hus-
bandry in the Kansas state agricul-
tural college.
For the first few weeks the mare
should be brought to the barn in the
middle Of the forenoon and the middle
of the afternoon and the colt allowed
to suckle. The colt should be left
with the mare at night. Encourage it
to eat as soon as possible-preferably
crushed oats with bran. IF oats are
not available a ration consisting Of
four parts of corn, three of bran, ar :.
one Of linseed meal b. weight may be
substituted.
Let the colt have clover or alfalfa
hay as soon as he will eat it. See to
1t that he has access to clean, pure
water at all times. If the mare and
foal are running in the pasture creep
should be made where the colt can
have access to grain.

WATERING STOCK IN SUMMER
AZ Springs and Streams Dry Up Il 10
Highly Essential to Furnish
Abundant Water Supply.

Animals need more water during hot
weather than they do during the win
ter. There is a greater loss of water
from their bodies in the processes Of
heat regulation, digestion, etc., conse-
quently they drink more If they have
1t. As the natural sources, such as
streams and springs dry up in the sum-
mer, it is highly essential that particu-
lar attention be given to furnishing q
plentiful supply Of fresh water during
the heated period.
Fresh and cool water supplied in
ample amounts will serve the very use
full purposes of eliminating many Of
the digestive disturbances often COM
planned Of by feeders. Unless the di-
gestive agencies are properly func-
toned the best results can by no
means be realized. And since water,
which is one of the most abundant ele-
ments we have, serves such a useful
purpose 1t should be given serious con-
sideration particularly at this time of
the year, when the dry, hot weather
will soon come. The man who has a
never-failing spring in his pasture is
indeed lucky, but with good deep
well equipped with wind pump or
better still pump run by gasoline
engine one need have little worry over
the needs Of his stock for water, so
long as he sees that their drinking
troughs are always full.

rise where there are no state laws
specifically setting other hours. In
states like Idaho the law says that
ducks cannot be killed during the
open season except between sunrise
and sunset. This is the law that we
wilfenforce. 1t will be noted in the
government statement that reference
is made to the open season in Idaho
being from September Z to December
20. This is incorrect. The open
season in this state is from Septem-
Der Is to December 81"
The stand taken by the fish and

whom have been under the impress
sion that because of the government
ruling they can shoot ducks a half
hour before sunrise. If they do this,
however, they will be arrested by

There is every reason to believe that
the present level Of prices for live
stock wilt continue for some time. Be-
cause there is world shortage Of
stock, a speedy ending Of the present

will serve as protection against ship
