 These lands can be made to bring in nice profit immediately after pur- chasing through the sale of timber rights and through leasing for farm ing and oil investment, all of which can be arranged without the owner having to go east.
 The lands are near railroads and market towns, and in many cases ad join cultivated farms, thereby inSuring a ready market for all natural re- sources and products taken from the land. Crops of both the north and the south can be grown which insures ample harvest, as this section of Okla koma enjoys from 10 to 45 inches rain fall per year.
 The lands are appraised at prices ranging from s2 to ST per acre. which merely takes into consideration the timber value only, and was based upon the government appraisement made in 1911 when timber appraisers con- sidered only trees which measured II inches at the chest line. Therefore, the timber on each tract alone is sufficient to net profit equal to the cost of the Hand, making all profits derived from farming and oil purposes a profit over and above the actual cost.

Chicago, Oct. 30.-A nationwide
German plot to destroy thousands of
cattle in stockyards has been received
from Food Administrator Hoover in a
telegram to Harry A. Wheeler, state
food administrator.
The telegram urged the vital i'm.
portance of guarding all stock yards
in the state.
Plans were Immediately made to
rush the newly formed Eleventh ILL.,

err announced that he would inform
Governor Lowden Of the plot and urge
that the guard be called. Warnings
were sent to all parts of the $. te. It
is believed some of the guard will be
sent to yards elsewhere in Illinois.
The United States secret service has
discovered that the recent hre in the
Kansas City stock yards, in which
many thousands Of dollars worth Of
cattle were lost, was part OF the
gigantic conspiracy in retaliation for
the American embargo which stops
Germany from obtaining fats.

LIMITS USE OF CARS

Building Materials and Non-Essentiais
Barred To Give Space To
Necessities.

Washington, Oct. 3O-Steps to re-,
strict enterprises not essential to the
conduct of the war have been taken by
the government in forbidding use Of
open-top freight cars on and after Mo-
vember 1 for transportation of mater
ial for roads and highways, theatre
construction and manufacture Of
pleasure vehicles, furniture and must
cal instruments.
Coal Is Exempted.
The restriction of non-essentials has
been imposed through an order, by
Robert S. Lovett, priority director Of
the War Industries Boardprohibiting
use of open-top cars, excepting fat,
cars, for carrying any of the specifi ed
materials for private orders.
Coal and government shipments are
exempted, as we'll as shipments in
closed boXcars.
The order is expected to provide,
early relief for the car shortage which

Transportation of these materials.
has been hamrered by insistence of
manufacturers on cars for non-essel-

The most drastic effect of the, order
probably will be to stop many public

for which crushed stone. cement. and
asphalt materials have been transport

PEACE talk IS FARCE
90 Termed BY Teuton Republicans
Working For Overthrow Of
HohenzoIIerns and A
Republic.

Washington, Oct. 30.-The commit.
tee on Public Information has made
public, with an English translation, an
article entitled Peace, a New Hum.
bug" written by German and cir
culated in Germany by German repub.
Leans working from Switzerland for
the overthrow of the Hohenzollerns
and the establishment Of republic.
The writer attacks the Junkers and
pan-Germanists for instigating the war
and declares that the war lords, hav-
ing worn out their tales of victories
won, now have turned to the farce of
peace to instill patience into a starv.
Ing and war-weary people.
Farce In Three Acts.
The farce, he says, is presented in
accordance with all the rules of dra-
matte art on this program:
ACT 1.-The Central powers make
peace proposals based upon and unac.
ceptable by reason of territorial en-
largement, annexation, both open and
disguised, a colossal Strengthening Of
Germany as a military
"Act 2-The Allies who fight to Sc
cure true and lasting peace based on
mutual understanding, and putting an
end to military states, reject these
peace proposals-exactly as the Ger
man government foresees.
"Act three and curtain-The Ger
man people are informed through the
belligerent (fleld gray) press that the
enemy will have absolutely nothing to
do with peace, that they insist upon
the complete humiliation of the Ger.
man people, that therefore, naught is
left but to endure through everything,
to starve to the very end, to shed their
blood to the last drop-until Junker
and captain of industry have attained
the object of their war, which is the
robbery of other peoples, the enlarge.
ment of their power, both abroad and
at home.
Neutral Sympathy Lost.
Germany has torn out by the roots
the sympathy of every thinking neu.
trial." the writer says; that sympathy
cannot be recovered by any such pa
thetic peace suggestions as this"
He concludes with warning Of
what will happen when the German
people see through those who have
tricked them and exploited their long.
ing for peace.
