LivestOckmen viii Meet in Col.
umbia During Farmers
Week.


Some wise man has said,
"Plant a cow" He was probably
a farmer or he would not have
realized the ACCESSIBILITY of cow
planting. Now some farmers
may not consider COWS congenial.
In that case they may plant some
other livestock. Just what kind
of animals a man grows is of
minor Importance.
Missouri farmers have caught
the progressive spirit of the
foregoing injunction. Of course,
some are not raising as much
livestock as they need, but most
farmers are raising some. Con-
sequently they are interested in
all livestock meetings. The Uni
versity of Missouri has arranged
an extensive program for stock
raiSers during the 1917 Farm
ers' Week, January 1 to 5. A
part Of the program is given:
Tuesday, January 2: Select

WALKING is BEST HEALTH
AID FOR WINTER WEATHER
Cold Increases the Appetite and
Necessitates the Taking of
More Exercise.

More Exercise.
With the coming of cold wealth
er taking exercise should not be
forgone. 1t is needed more now
than ever. With the advent of
winter the appetite for sweet
and greasy things increases, and
most people over-eat. To utilize
this amount Of food, plenty of
exercise in the bracing fresh air
is required.
Among the best exercises and
the one which is within the
range Of every one, is walking.
Five miles a day is not too much
for the average person, and sell
dom such weather conditions oc-
cur as to make this impossible.
1t is not advisable to walk
so rapidly or 50 far as to in
duce excessive fatigue. 1t is
not advisable to walk in the face
of a strong wind if it can be
avoided, Those who are not I'd.
customed to walking should be-
gin by going a short distance
each day, preferably or fairly
level ground, gradually increas-
ing the distance and the speed.
The president of the American
Walkers Association gives this
advice on the proper method of
walking:
walk upright, shoulders back
chest expanded, allow arms to
swng freely, step out with a
snap. Walk with the hips, not
with the knees.
THE slow, haphazard, often
slouchy gait of the ordinary citi-
zen is not walking. 1t is a poor
imitation that gets him nowhere
and is Of little or no value as a
health builder.
"How different is the walk OF
the practiced pedestrian gliding
along with long, even stride.
head erect, chest expanded anC
arms swinging freely in perfect
rythm to each thrust of the op.
posite leg. Covering distances
with little effort that to the av
erage person would be quite i'm
possible at the gait that sur
prises the casual observer, ht
finds his walking a pleasure sec
ond to none.
"He visits places of interest
impossible to reach by trolley OF
train, traverses roads through
the most beautiful scenery
climbs up hills and down dales
and roams through fields anC
woods inaccessible even to the
automobilist and the cyclist.
"In addition, he fills his lungs
with pure, envigorating air
sends his blood pulsing through
his veins, carrying fresh lif,
and vitality to every part of hi.

Tomorrow evening the Imperial
Athletic Club will stage its second
show of the season and from the cali
bre Of the contestants it should be a
summer.
The double main event will bring
together George Drew (Fighting
George) the colored boy who on sew
eral occasions has battled the cele-
brated Chief Abernathy right off his
feet, and would beat Joe Galindo like
a panitor beats a rug and then was
handed one of those Mexicali de-
cisions.
Also Tom Tucker, the old war
horse, the hero of more contests than
the average man has seen. And lit
tie Baby Blue, then whom there is no
more popular boxer in the valley, and
Kid Yoakum of Fresno will lock horns
in the first section of the main
event. In this bout the fans have a
treat in store for them. Yoakum will
outweigh the Baby about eleven
pounds and is tough hombre, but as
Blue has cleaned up all the 122-pound
boys in the valley he is compelled to
step out of this class in order to Sc
cure match.
The semi-windup will be between
Speedy Grady and Bennie Neal. This
should be an excellent bout, for here
IS speed and science on the one 81 e,
with toughness and bulldog grit on
the other.
The opener will bring together To-
ny Alvarado and frankie Dale, two
willing boys who fought draw at
the last show
Manager Bill Littrick assures the

any of the bouts. Billy Stewart will
referee and the first bout will start

San Francisco, Nov. 15.--Colleges
and rifles clubs in all parts of the
country are seeking a suspension OF
the government rule denying them
ammunition from the stores of the
United States army, officials of the
Western Department of the army stat
ed here recently. Some months ago
they were told that they would rel

but could purchase all they desired
from other sources.
Army officials here are at work on
a scheme to satisfy the demand in

clubs have grown to such important
military factors, the officials say, that
their need for ammunition is great.
Few of them have set aside funds for
purchasing this ammunition.

1t is proposed to raise a fund for such

The Pacific Cat Club has planned
a cat exhibit December 8 and 9 for
the benefit of this fund, and other
affairs are being planned. The funds
will be turned over to the animal re-

ties after advertising notices in the
papers. This resulted in an apparent
conflict of the statutes and the ques-
ton was submitted to the Attorney
General, who advises that all cattle
brands must be recorded with this
board or they cannot be given proper
recognition Except pure bred cattle
entitled to registration).
1t is particularly urgent for cattle
men, who wish to continue using their
brand, to make early application with
this board for recordation, at priority
of application may have considerable
bearing on the board in granting per-
mits for the use of different brands
and unless so recorded their use is IL
legal.
The fee for registering a brand is
$500. Slaughtering fees are as fol-
lows: Less than ten head per month,
S1.00; over ten and less than 80 head
per month, $1,000, and over fifty head
per month, s25.O0 per year. All fees
are payable annually in advance.

cording cattle brands, or forms for APP

NO ANNUAL THIS YEAR
THAT is THE PROBABILITY AT
CENTRAL HIGH.
Pupils of School Will Place Funds
Used for Printing 1t at Dis
pOsal of Red Cross.

Probability looms strong that there
will be no high school annual published
this year.
This probability followed a sugges-
ton by Principal Randall that the
students discontinue the publication
for this year, and instead place the
funds for the publication of the book
at the disposal of the Red Cross.
Quite generous sum for the pub
lication of the year book is usually
derived from the Junior play and sew
cral Junior candy sales, and lemonade
and soda water sold in the Junior
concession at the different athletic
contests.
The Red Cross will undoubtedly be
greatly benefited by this contribu-
ton, but the high school will be mi
nus its annual chronicle, so priced by
the students as keepsakes and remin-
ders of their schoodays.
A plan has been suggested by sew
eral students which calls for a GER
tain amount to be paid by the Stu
dent Body into "a contributory fund
to the Red Cross, which will be a
substitute for the year book fund
If this idea is adopted, and the Ju-
nior class is allowed to retain the
publication fund, the year book may
still be put out.
The proposition will be taken up
later on in Student Body meeting, and
there debated and threshed out to a
final decision.

Press Opinions
The Dramatic Critic Finds Fault.
Imperial Enterprise)

tiHpeIidi EHtefpfISeb
Professor La CroiX, the famous
hypnotist, appeared at the Imperial
theatre last evening, and his remark
able performance was greatly en-
joyed by the audience. which. by the
way, was not az large as it ought %
have been
There is one noticeable and discour-
aging thing about Imperial. viz, in
difference to things occult unless su-
perinduced by faith or spirits kept
in containers.
Now. had it been advertised that
Ia cracker would be propelled across
the floor of the theatre, the motive
power being furnished by the aristo-
cratic nose of the distinguished pro-
fessor, the theatre would doubtless
have been filled to overflowing. And
had it been whispered that a soul
stirring potion went with every tick
ct sold, the capacity OF the theatre
would have been taxed to the limit.
But the performance being one that
struck a happy medium between two
extremes, the audience was limited to
that class of Imperial's citizens who
are normal.
Wholesome places of amusement
should attract all classes, instead of
being Stunned on the one hand by
those whose eyes are always uplight-
cd to heaven while their lips mechan-
ically thank God that they are not as
other men, and. on the other, by those
who would rather get their hides
stretched than see or hear the worlds
best actors or singers.

With Regard to Russia.

We have no choice at this time to
belive anything with regard to Rus
sia in the war except that her use
fulness as an active force against the
Germans and Austrians is practically
ended. There does not appear any
strong ground in the dispatches from
the harassed republic for the assertion
that Russia, through separate peace,
will become practically an ally of the
eremy of the United States, nor does
there appear anything to give hope
that the Russian forces can be de-
pended on to engage much of the mil
itary attention Of the autocraci forces.
Possibly the new government the
workmens and soldiers delegates are
trying to set up will make a wider
appeal to the soldiers than did Ke-
renskys government. with the result
stand and less likelihood of food sup.
plies reaching Germany from Russia
taan has been imminent under the
recent very unsettled state of affairs.
But for us there is no wiser course
tban to regard Russia as out of the
conflict and to model our military
f.ans on that foundation. 1t is not
tame to be ic-stricken. nor vet
tine to trust in unsecured hopes. We
raust look at Russia, and at Italy. so
faieh more bravely defeated, for the
time, than is Russia, and make our
determination a little more determined
we must henceforth discount any pos
sIbility OF consistent hlep TO the AL
lies from the former forces of the
Car. Indeed, we must permit to en-
ter our calculations possibility of
having to use a restraining hand ON
The Russians if the Bolsheviki carry
cut the most radical of their plans
In the working out of these forces
there must be prolongation of the
war German intrigue has achieved
q more notable victory in the deveIon-
ments Of the last few days than Ger
nan arms have been able to at+oi,
three years, and German arms will
Pfofit accordingly in morale. But there
came with the Russian revolt report .
further report that Germany was cal
ing up her last reserves. We are
calling up our first forces. Therein
rests the great hope.
