report of the committee consist ing mainly of the protest sent to U. s. senators and represent atives. Roundup plans next received short general discus sion with the result that the fix ing of dates and other details was left with the allotment committees of the several graz ing districts, with the under standing that these committees should get together immediate ly after the meeting and ar range for the various roundups.
 The matter of the abuse of ranging privileges by some of the bands of tramp sheep that last year rented water within the reserve, was introduced by w. M. Hughes, with the per mission of the Association. Af- ter a short discussion, the mat ter was disposed of by the ap- pointment of a committee con- sisting of Clyde Poison, Jim Smith, and Geo. Robinson, to deal with the matter.
 Upon MT. Hamilton stating that he had gone out of the cat tie business and that therefore he could no longer serve on the Advisory Board, Joe B. Cook was elected to serve in his place.
 MT. Geo. Robinson placed an interesting proposal before the Association for it's considera- ton. He proposed that some arrangement be made whereby thin cows and other stock that has suffered severely from the winter, might be fed for a short time in the early spring to tide them over until spring grass. The matter was not discussed at length, but considerable in- terest was taken in it. No ac- ton was taken by the ASsocia- tion but the stockmen in a num- Der of the districts are consider ing the matter further and a plan will probably be tried by them next spring as an exper- iment. It is estimated that the cost of feeding a COW cotton seed cake would be but two to five dollars, while the loss of such a COW would amount to about sixty-five dollars. The feeding would also be benefic- ial where not needed in order to save the animals life. MT. Robinson and other cattlemen in his district, especially, are giving the matter careful at tention.
 Before adjournment the asso- citation passed a vote of thanks to l.. s. Williams and Judge X. N. Sleeves for their assistance in framing a letter of protest to Secretary Huston and the mem bers of congress, and to MT. Reese for his liberality in giv- ing the Association the use of the Sultana theatre for holding it's meeting.
 Altogether the meeting was a very successful one. The at tendance was good, interest was keen, and, best of all, a number of new members were added. The Association now has large enough membership to be approved by the Forest

MORE FOOD NEEDED

The President Of the United States has urged that every possible piece of land should be put into agricultural crops during the present year and in fact every year during the war in order to alleviate the world wide food shortage.
 One of the most needed ar ticles of food will be potatoes. This crop is going tc be far short of the actual needs of the Nation unless very active steps are taken to increase the pro- duction. The price of potatoes will doubtless remain high, al lowing a very much greater profit in the production of this crop than ever before For this reason alone, namely the very much greater income per acre, every farmer in this vicinity should plant every possible acre to potatoes, even to the ex- clusion of grain crops. Consid- ering the very abundant rain fall during this spring and con- sequently the large amount of soil moisture available, a suc- cessful crop production is al- most assured. While it is real ized that the farmer in this reg ion cannot control to a large de- gree the amount of seed avail able or the grade of land he has to work, yet he can almost en- tirely control his own labor and it is to this increase in amount of labor and attention to his farming that we must look for the largest increase in food in this section. Too many times the seed is planted but no more action is taken till the time to harvest has come. Cultivate your crops this year and culti- vate them well, it is your duty to the Nation in this time of war.
 There is probably no better crop suited to this section than the potato. Plant every pos -sible acre. Much of the good potato land has already been taken up by homesteaders, these should use every piece of agricultural land that they can so that no land will remain idle this year. There are also sev- 'eral pieces of land which have not yet been taken up on the Tusayan Forest. The Secre- tary of Agriculture and the Forest Service desire to make every possible piece of land in their control available for crop raising this year. The local of flee of the Forest Service will cooperate in every way in giv- ing free agricultural permits to applicants desiring to secure homesteads, or paid cultiva- tion permits at 25 cents to 1.OO per acre to any who desires to farm during this year any small piece of agricultural land on the Forest. There are many good cultivable pieces of bot tom land in this vicinity which it would be impossible to homestead on account of the very small acreage involved but yet these could be secured under paid cultivation permits. The Forest Service will gladly give any information in this connection and has a complete description and application blanks for any who desire to homestead anywhere on this Forest.

TELLS Or CRUISE:
PAUL HooVER's EXPERIENCE ON
BOARD TRANSPORT.

Mr. and Mrs. J. r. Hoover, No. 1917
South Market street, have a note from
their son Paul, a member of Co. H
of Oskaloosa from which the Herald
takes the following:
New York, Oct. 2S. = Dear Folks
We are safe and sound in New York
again. We left Camp Mills Tuesday
noon, October 18th over the Long Is
land r. r. to Brooklyn and from there
we took the ferry to Hoboken, New
Jersey, where our transport was wait
ing for us. We loaded everything and
was tugged out of the docks at ten
O'Clock up through the Hudson river
and into the ocean. Everyone was Gag
er to see New York for the last time
and they flocked to the deck like flies.
After that came mess and we sailed
out to sea.
The sea was smooth the first day
and everything but smooth after that.
The next morning the boys began to
get sea sick and it was a great sight
to see. Everybody had to go below
deck or quit smoking at five o'clock in
the evening.
After four days out we returned
home. On October %, we could Zee
lights miles away and when morning
came we could see land which we had
not seen for nine days. AT two o'clock
we steamed into Hoboken, New Jer-
sey. We then went into our camps at
Governor Island, between New York
and Brooklyn. The island is small, on
ly about three and one half miles
around it.. 9
Well, tell everybody hello, and
write often. so s..

OTTUMWA 10 THE RESCUE
Fire Department Rushes To Agency
and Give Timely Aid When Men,
acing Fire RACES.

Ottumwa, Nov. 3.-The combination
truck and new chiefs car made a
record run to the assistance of Agency
last night when an S. O. S. was re-
ceived at the central station. The call
came in at 11:25 and at 1875 the
truck was in Agency, where 1t was vel
coined by the citizens, who ad by that
time given up hope of saving buildings
that were in the path OF raging fire
Two Buildings Lost.
The fire broke out at 1915 p. m.
threatening the entire business dis.
trict at one time, and finally resulted
in the complete destruction of the
Bradshaw garage owned by M. B. Will
son, and a feed store belonging to
Thomas Newell. Although nothing
was saved from the garage, it is be.
lieyed that the loss is covered by in,
surance.
The fire started in the garage from
an overheated stove igniting the pine
walls. The exterior of the building
is of galvanized iron. The feed store,
a very old brick building adjoining the
garage, caught fire soon, the heavy
timbers in the structure feeding the
flames and made the efforts of the
local fire fighters ineffective.
