NO WATER AT DONIPHAN.
Supply May BE Exhausted by January
I, 1913.

Col r. Neil Rain, assistant ad-
jutant of the Third regiment, has re-
turned from weeks visit at Camp
Doniphan, Fort Sill, Okla, much i'm
pressed with the generally satisfac-
tory condition of the camp and the
personnel Of the officers and men.
The only drawback to the camp, ac-
cording to Colonel Rain, Is the wat
or, which altho is tested almost daily
and has shown no traces of injurious
properties, neither looks nor tastes
good. This water supply is so low
that there is doubt as to whether
1t will last until January /, and no
relief in sight unless heavy rains set
in. With the exception of a couple
of little showers, there has been no
at Camp Doniphan for over
six months.

The old custom OF keeping the
county treasurer's books open until
January 1st and allowing rebate on
the second half Of the taxes to that
date instead Of only until December
20, as set by law ends this year. The
tax commission has required strict
adherence to the law. After p.

allowed and penalties for non-pay-
ment OF the first half Of the taxes
will be enforced. So you might as
well walk up early and have It over.

and 1t should be carefully consider
I'd by every farmer If the country is
to maintain its pork supply:
I'VE have had. and shall hava. the
advice OF a board composed OF prac-
tical hog growers and experts. That
board advises that the best yardstick
to measure the cost of production of
the hog Is the cost of corn. That
board further advises that the ratio
of corn price to hog price on the av-
erage over series of years has been
about twelve to one Cor a little
less). In the past, when the ratio
has gone lower than twelve to one,
the stock on hogs In the country has
decreased When 1t was higher
than twelve, the hogs have increas-
ed. That board has given its judg-
ment that to bring the stock OF hogs
back to normal under present condi-
tions the ratio should be about thir-
teen. Therefore. as to the hogs far
rowed next spring, we will try TO
stabilize the price so that the farm
er can count on getting for each 100
pounds of hog ready for market,
times the average cost per
bushel of the corn fed into the hogs
Let there be no misunderstand-
ing OF this statement. 1t Ia not n
backed by money. It is
lot promise by the packers. It Is
statement of the intention and pol
cy of the food administration which
means to do justice to the farmer"
Abilene weekly reflector. [volume] (Abilene, Kan.) 1888-1935, 1917-11-08

The price OF hogs is the big prob
lem for the farmers of the county
and many are selling hogs OF ligh,
weight. when they ought to keer
them. Others are not preparing for
breeding, believing that 1t Is more
profitable to sell corn and becoming
nervous over price fixing and afraid
there will be a similar experience to
the wheat price matter.
The United States food admins
tration today issued the following
statement of what 1t will try to do

Altho the ruling was made severa
weeks ago. this is the first time /,
has been called to the attention OF
the district board The copy was
sent by General Crowder, provost
marshal.
Members of the district board be-
lieve this will be the cause for reop-
ening a number of cases which have
already been passed upon. according
to information received today at Abb
lene. A number of registrants whose
exemption claims were based upon
this ruling have been certified for
service and are now In training
camps If 1t is their desire to appeal
their cases they will have to consult
the secretary of war, board members
say.
