Frank squier, presidsn< the Colo,
RADIO stockgrowers associss -
the meeting to order and R. L. We6BS
of Divide creek WIS made secretary of
the meeting. Garfield county's need Of
better bulls was made very plain in a
statement by the chairman who then
called for discussion of the question
by those present.
Congressman Taylor made an address
to the stockmen present and all were
very glad to see and hear him. He
emphasized the live stock shortage as
a result of the war and the need of
breeding the very best and most profit
able cattle possible. Mr.. Taylor spoke
briefly of the war and his recent visit
to the scene of hostilities.
Isaac Baer of Meeker made most
interesting address from the stockmen s
point of view and urged the breeding
of better cattle. Mr.. Baer has done
much toward the Improvement of the
cattle business in Rio Blanco county
and the Western Slope section and he
realizes fully the demand of the day
for thoroughbred bulls and the i'm
provement of the herds to the highest
possible degree.
Mr.. Baer also touched on the war
question and made decided hit in
what he had to say on this subject. He
told the audience that he was born in
Germany where he lived until he was
sixteen years of age, when he came to
America because he was looking for a
land of greater freedom and greater
opportunity, and he found both Of
these requisites in America. He said
he was proud of this country and Of
the opportunity it gave to every man
with desire to do the right thing
But he warned his hearers not to be
caught with occasional newspaper
stories to the effect that the German
people will desert the kaiser and repu-
diate his program.
He says he feels sorry for the Ger
man people because they know nothing
but to obey the military power that
is over them and they will fight to the
bitter end to support and maintain their
military government.
Mr.. Baer brought forth the hearty
applause Of the audience when he de.
clared that his heart is absolutely with
this country in the present conflict and
that every effort and every dollar he
possesses will be given if need be to win
this war for his adopted country
against the land of his birth.
Smith Riley, district forester for this
division, was present as a guest through
Mr.. Baer's invitation and addressed
the meeting ON the matter Of game
ssnctuaries within the national forests.
He thought IL the forests were proper.
