CREATE MENACING
SITUATION HERE
Nations Cattle, Sheep and
Hogs are Dwindling
Rapidly

Washington, Aug. 2l.--Herbert Hoove
Yesterday warned America that tn
world faces meat famine. And "a higl
range of prices for meat and ANNA
products for many years to come con
fronts this country, he said.
He cited figures to prove that the ma
tion's cattle, sheep and hogs are dwin
ding rapidly under the demands of war
and in allied Europe threaten to be wiped
out entirely.
Fabulously high prices in Europe and
America will extend to lard, butter,
cheese, leather, fats, oils and woods,
He advocated government control of
this country's meat exports.
He called upon Americas livestock
breeders to at once lay plans for enor-
mously increased herds and focks. He
pleaded that all rich, well,to.do and mid
die class and other non manual iaborers
in the United States greatly reduce their
meat consumption and leave more for the
fighting men and male and female work
ers Of allied lands.
He cautioned the allies that large
amounts Of meat from northern neutrals
are being diverted to Germany" and Of
fered this as an added reason for regula
ton of American exports.
As meat conservation measure for
America in this crisis, he suggested that
our comparatively little utilized fish sup
ply be thoroughly harvested, well mar
keted and more generally eaten
Since the war began this country's cat
tie production has increased 100000 as
compared with a decrease of s,420,000
among our eastern allies and a decrease
elsewhere in the world, including enemy
countries, of 26,750000, total world de-
crease of 2s,0S0000 head.
Sheep production decreased 100000
head, the eastern allies 100000, other
countries 34,000000, total world de-
crease of 54,500000.
While this eountrys production Of
hogs has increased 6,215,000 head, that
of our eastern allies decreased 100000
head, that of other countries 100000,
a total world decrease of 32t425.000.
While our hogs were increased by
3 100000 animals" said Hoover, "the
average weight at slaughter is falling
and our production is probably only
about maintained.
THE demands made by the war on |
meat supply are shown in the |
growth OF our meat exports from an
average of 493,84S,000 pounds year for
three years before the war to ,33e, l03,-
300 pounds for the single year ending
June 80, 1916
There is only one immediate solution
70 the short supply. We can with meat,
ust as with cereals, reduce consumption |
among those classes who can best afford
t, and eliminate waste,
Meantime, to protect all our people,
sc must carefully control our meat ex-

There is nothing that can be done
by those Of Ms who remain behind, en-
ioying all the comforts of home life
which can be compared with the con
tribution to the cause of liberty and
democracy made by men who will give
everything, including life itself We
confess that we have no patience with
any man who is disposed to murmur
abount any sacrifice that he is called
upon to make in order to help his
country win the war. We can't CON
ceive of the calibre of such man or

in question is infinitesimal Any man

fund contains only S5iS5OO. or this
sum bonds to the amount OF S4S.5O0
matured May j. 1917, without ever
having been sold. The 100000 re-
naming We're issued during the Has
kell administration and are signed by
Leo Meyer as state auditor who was
occupying that office at that time
They will mature in 1886 1887, 1898
and 1889. S125,00O each year
q. b Howard. state auditor is de-
termlned that the buildings provided
from this fund shall not be construct
ed until the courts shall have decided
that the bonds may be sold. 1t is not
at all likely that any market can be
found for the bonds until some compe-
tent court shall have decided whether
they are valid at this time under the
circumstances.
Another question that is before
state officials in this connection is the
fact that the charge against these
bonds in the form of appropriations
for buildings is $35l.OOO greater than
the amount Of them. 1t is true that
an opinion by the attorney general has
held chat one item of 100000 for CON
struetion Of hospital for the state
medical college may be charged
against the revenues instead of the
public building fund but Mr., Howard
does not subscribe to the soundness Of
this opinion and wants the courts to
decide what fund the appropriation is
made from. The bill was bungled un-
til it seems to make the appropriation
out OF both the public building fund
and the general revenues Of the state.
Even if this 100000 be deducted
from the charges against the public
building fund made by the 1917 legis-
lature, there is still $4,000 more
money appropriated than the amount
Of the bonds that are unsold.
Among the institutions for which
buildings were attempted to be provid-
ed by the legislature from the public
building fund is the college for wo
men at Chickasha. Il is stated by citi-
zens Of Chickasha that the banks Of
that city are willing to accept the
bonds to the amount Of 100000, which
is the sum appropriated for the build
ing there, and advance the money for
the building. It will be the policy of
the state board Of public affairs to
award no contracts for buildings from
the public building funds until the
courts shall have Strengthened out the
validity Of the bonds that are propos-
ed to be sold as a basis for the funds.

ties, "Those who give everything"

STATUS or THE STATE BUILDING

The last legislature appropriated
100000 for additional buildings for
the College for Women, this amount
to be taken from the public building
fund Why the delay in letting con-
tracts and starting the construction of
the buildings? This is a question
which everybody is asking. Without
entering into any discussion Of the is
sues involved but merely to make the
situation plain, We print the following
information which was furnished to
the Dallas News BY it's Oklahoma City

Buildings for state Institutions to
the amount OF 1851, ZOO were provided
for by the 1917 legislature out of the
