STOP PEACE TALK
Omitted Press Leased wire.)


COPENHAGEN, May s. - The
German government started peace
talk for its own ends, but now il
is confronted with a distinct and
decidedly growing movement
among its people for peace which
It is taking measures to repress.
Private advices received from
Germany today showed this new
development in the German gov
ernments peace plotting" They
detailed an empire-wide hunt for
peace spies" The hunt has been
transferred from the civil authori-
ties and placed in the hands of
the military government with re-
wards offered for arrests of peace
propagandists.
The German government ap-
pears determined that, If there Is
any peace talk, it must be the gov
eminent and not the German peo-
pie who do the talking.
Meanwhile, the people of the
German provinces especially are
puzzled to understand why IL Eng
land is as nearly broken and de-
feated as the government claims,
she is still making war and not
hardening to peace feelers."
The result has been, according
to advices here, that formidable
wave of dissatisfaction against
the German autocracy is sweeping
over Germany.

BREMERTON, May 8.-Too
much politics is the trouble in
Kitsap county, according to the
grand jury, which has rendered
its final report and adjourned to-
day. No indictments were return
ed in the dictaphone controversy.
I'm regard to the dictaphone
controversy" says the report,
while some of the evidence from
the same we consider incriminat-
ing, we cannot find conclusive evil
dence to return indictments"
The jury censured Sheriff Dan
]. Davis and recommended that
the commissioner inquire into the
expenditure of public moneys
through the sheriff's office for OBJ
tanning evidence, believing that
this official is using this means for
political purposes"
That law and vice violations
have been protected by certain
officials" is also stated, though
the officials are not named.

In regard to the question of
liquor importations and sale the

NATIONS
PRESS IS
MUZZLED

ffesn Leased Wirf.l
WASHINGTON, d. c., May s.
A muzzle is on the press in the
state department. Secretary of
State Lansing has ordered that
no officials shall talk with news
paper men, even on minor news
paper matters.
All news must come from him
or from the departmental public
ity bureau. Even interpretative
matter from expert chiefs of the
department is barred. The muz-
zle is the outgrowth of a long eff
fort by Lansing to curb the press
Officials of the department
have made the charge on more
than one occasion that not all
newspapermen were to be trusted
and have always been able to
get up a argument.
Recently there has been talk of
barring newspaper men from the
department except for couple of
hours day. Routine news Is
practically all that the depart
ment has permitted to leak out !;
anything not suited to Its ends
has been carefully shielded from
the press and the public, though
the publicity bureau was installed
with a view to opening up certain
news channels, long closed.
This department Is closely
vised. Counsellor Polk does most
of that.
Close tabs have been kept on
newspaper men. 1t has been sus-
pected by press members that a
real spy was on their trail, though
this has never been fully estab-
1ished.
Some diplomats have been
practically reprimanded for dis
cussing business involving a state
department angle.

THE DETERMINATION OF THE
 AGE OF HORSES.

The age of the horse is determined by the examination of the incisor (front) teeth and in certain instances the molars.
 At birth the colt has two upper and two lower incisors. By the time the colt reaches 12 months of age, it has a full mouth in front and the first three molars, these, however, are the milk, or temporary teeth.
 From one to two and one-half years it is very difficult to accurately de- termine the age. The fourth and fifth molar will erupt in this time and will give clue to the age.
 At two and one-half years the cen tral incisors become loose. prepara- tory to shedding. At three years they shed and the first permanent incis- ors are seen in their place.
 At 3h to 4 years the middle or lat eral incisors undergo the same change and at AZ to years the corners.
 From five to eight years the age is determined by the changes in the cups. At years the blackened cup of the two central incisors disappear. At z the lateral, and at eight the cor ner has become shallow and rounded.

SHIPPING CATTLE IN
 ORDER TO SAVE THEM

Trainloads of cattle have been ship. ped from the drouth-stricken portions of Texas to other points in the South as fast as railroad facilities permit. ted, according to statement of the Bureau of Animal Industry, United States Department of Agriculture which has been working to relieve the situation of the Texas cattlemen.
 Since July 1, there have been moved from Texas to points in the South eastern states more than 13,000 head of cattle, and the department expect ed that by this time fully 25,000 head will have been moved. This move ment was made necessary because of the drouth and other conditions in certain parts of Texas, which threat ened the loss of valuable breeding stock. Most of the cattle now being moved are females; practically all were bought outright by farmers and landowners in the new territory. The expense of the work of supervising shipments of these cattle, to the end of September, did not exceed S4,000, which makes the cost incurred by the department for moving the cattle only about 30 cents head.
 One of the advantages of the work done this year is in showing how the situation may be handled should sim liar conditions arise again The de- partment says that in the long run, the cattle industry as whole will be decided gainer by the movement of these cattle, which are largely of high grade and in some cases even pure bred stock, and they have gone to form the nuclei of new centers of cattle raising. They are mainly Here lords, with some Shorthorns and a small sprinkling of Angus cattle. More important to Texas cattlemen than the opening up of new herds is that their attention has been directed to the East as an outlet for their surplus as we'll as the North.

CATTLE BUYERS FOR ALLIES
 WANT 6O,OO0 HEAD CATTLE


 For the purpose of buying up from 5O,000 to 60,000 head of range stock which will be slaughtered and sent as food for the allies, E. K. Cassab and George Long arrived in Tucson last week from Los Angeles.
 Realizing that Tucson is the cen ter of the cattle industry of the Southwest I have come here for the purpose of gathering up all the me dium beef obtainable," said MT. Cas- sab.
 q am acting as the sole subcon- tractor for a firm which has been supplying the French and British forces with horses and provisions and our aim is to gather up in as short time as possible several train loads of stock from the Tucson, Nogales and Douglas ranges, together with what other stock we will be able to pick up along the border. "We are especially anxious to get 1, in touch with owners of medium beef. Prime beef is not required for this order but we are confident that there is large amount of unfinished beef which we will be able to get, thus re- lieving the stockmen of further res possibility in getting the stock ready for the market. We pay spot cash and the prices offered will be much better than that usually obtained for stock of this character"
The Coconino sun., 1917-11-02

The corner cups on the lower incis- ors are more persistent and may re- main in evidence until the age of ten or eleven years.
 From until old age there is pro- gressive change in the shape and ap- pearance taking place, but without any prominent event to mark the ex- act age. The age of the horse hence forth can only be estimated.
 At 9 the teeth begin to turn yellow. From 10 to 12 the central teeth change from oval to triangular in shape.
 From 13 to 15 years the table sur face of all the incisors are markedly
The Coconino sun., 1917-11-02

triangular in shape and the superior teeth are beginning to separate from each other at 16 to 20 years. The in- ferior incisors project forward al- most on straight line with the jaw. The superiors overlap the interiors and the shape changes from triangu- lar to found, or even flattened from side to side.
 These points are in a majority of cases fairly accurate, but may vary a year or so either way, depending on the texture of the teeth and the hab- it's of the horse.

WEEKLY KANSAS CITY
 STOCK MARKET REPORT

Kansas City Stock Yards, October 29, 1917.
 Cattle receipts were 10000 head, steers weak to 10 lower, best here SIS, cows strong, stockers and feed CTS strong to 25 higher. Hogs today 5000, market 10 to 20 higher, top $16.60. Sheep and lambs today 1000, market steady, lambs to killers $169O.
 BEEF CATTLE.
 Beef cattle advanced steadily last week, closing 50 cents higher for the one week, COW sales up 75 cents fre- quently, a string of IA cars of cows arriving from New Mexico late Sat urday selling in the afternoon of that day at $5.50 for canners and S7.5O for good cows. Ordinarily these would have been held for today. Some Kansas grazed steers sold at $13, oth- CTS downwards to $9.50, good many cattle back at noon. No good natives were included in the early arrivals. Colorado beef steers sell at S9 to $11, cows S7.25 to $9.00. Buyers demand ed concessions on steers today be- cause receipts at other markets were heavy. A drove of Panhandle can ners sold at $5.85, medium cows at $6.75, bulls in this shipment, $7, good panhandle cows worth SS, best native cows $10, veal calves $10 to $13.50.
 STOCKERS AND FEEDERS.
 In spite of the embargo against shipping stockers and feeders, a good many of these classes arrived, and there was a good market for them. Panhandle yearlings sold around s9.- 50, plain native yearlings s7.s5. Four teen loads of Herefords of not a very good kind weighing TOO lbs. brought $S.25, and good Herefords weighing s75 lbs brought s10.25. Panhandle yearlings sold Saturday at s9.75, $50 lbs. average. Illinois and Iowa want weighty steers to consume soft corn, and paid up to SIP last week.
 HOGS. t.
 Light hogs sold 20 higher frequent ly, and the top was 10 higher, both medium and heavy weights selling at up to $16.60, best light weights s16.- 25, bulk of sales s15.50 to s16.50, pigs s14.25 to s15. There appears to be good strength for the moment, but lower prices are expected as receipts increase, and some shippers are con tent to talk about hogs at 12 cents after the first of the year.. However, the run is light at all points today, and there was no material increase in SUD- plies anywhere last week.
 SHEEP AND LAMBS.
 Five cars of Colorado lambs sold at $16.90 to killers, the best here, other Westerns at s16.75, plain natives at $16.35, steady market. Feeding lambs sell at s16.50 to s16.75 in most cases, choice Westerns worth around $17. Breeding ewes are in fair sup ply, are much lower than short time ago, and it is good chance to buy. Useful aged ewes sell at $10.50 to SIP, ewes three to five years old up to $14, choice yearlings ewes not much lower than formerly, up to s17.
