suit is that Arizona cattlemen are facing ruinous losses because of a shortage of feed. It is said that Ari- zona has barely enough feed to pas ture her own cattle. Now comes this serious drain upon the grazing lands of the state by virtue of importatiOns of cattle from the stricken states.
 The Livestock Sanitary board re- ports that within the last few weeks thousands of starving cattle from Texas and New Mexico have been brought into Arizona. Although they realize the serious drain that is be- ing put upon the resources of Arizona by these starving cattle, the board lis helpless to do anything to stop it. The cattle are inspected by the state veterinarian to prevent diseas- ed cattle from being brought into the state. Further than this, the state can do nothing.
 It is said that the imported cattle are in very poor condition. This has resulted in the cattlemen from these two states attempting to register their brands in Arizona wherever this p ocedure is possible. In many in stances, however, this cannot be done because the brands are already registered in Arizona. The effort on the part of the outside cattlemen to register their brands in this state is said to be due to the fact that most of their cattle being moved to Ari- zona are in such poor condition that rebranding would obably be fatal to the bulk of the stock

Passes Away in Chicago Hos
pital After Long iilnesa

Kenosha Samuel s. Simmons, AZ
years old. publisher of the Kenosha
Evening News and a well known
newspaper man OF Wisconsin. died at
the Presbyterian hospital in Chicago.
AS result of an Illness which had
extended over many months.
Mr.. Simmons was born In Kenoshs,

WAR MAKES MEN EPILEPTIC
And Others lnvalided From the
Trenches Are Constantly Haunt
ed by Fear.

Some Of the effects of warfare on
man-effects which usually are not
given wide publicity, are revealed in
an appeal in the London Times by
Lieut.. Col. Sir John Collie FOR the es-
adjustment Of an institution where the
tangled nerves of war-shaken men may
again become normal. Sir John wants
to place these victims In a home in the
country where quiet may be able to
overcome their Authorizations.
Men do not suffer In the same way
as the lower animals" he says, For
instance. many men invalided out Of
the service are haunted by an appre-
hension of transcription"
The men fear that they will have to
go back and face the enemy. Their
brains are clouded and they do not
realize that they cannot again be
called upon to serve. SO they live In
constant fear.
Another distressing result OF trench
warfare is the comparatively large
number of men returning from the
front who suffer from epilepsy and
hysteroepilepsy. Much of the epilepsy
is due TO injury, the doctors say, and
the hysteroeplepsy is laid to the stress
the men are under ut the front.
SO many Of these epileptics have APP
peared since the war began that plans
for farm colony for the incurables
among them are being made.

CHEAPER DYNAMITE
TAKES OUT STUMPS
LOWER GRADE EXPLOSIVE Is
FOUND HIGHLY EFFECTIVE,
SAYS C. o. LIVINGSTON.
FULLER MEN COOPERATE
The Modern Improved Methods Of
Land Clearing Reduces the Cost
and Labor on cutover Lands
and Woodlots.

Madison-The use of low grades of
dynamite. at considerable saving
over old methods of using high per
centage dynamite for farm purposes.
and the use of the explosive in COM
bination with stump pulling machines
instead of explosives alone, is advo-
Gated in technical study of land
clearing and cutover forest lands and
woodlots, issued by the University of
Wisconsin.
The report which advocates these
entirely new theories for the develop
ment of agricultural land, is written
by Carl ID. Livingston, agricultural en-
gineer of the university. who was in
charge of the land clearing special
trains which for eleven weeks last
summer touched nearly score Of
counties in northern Wisconsin, and
is not mere compendium of theories,
but technical abstract of the com.
parative results achieved in all meth
DDS of clearing cutover lands. The
Livingston report, because of it's rev.
dictionary though authoritative advo-
cacy Of new methods, will be classic
among agriculturists In the land which
was once covered with forest. now be-
ing converted to farm uses. Special
trains. which were out for weeks in
charge OF Mr.. Livingston. had the
double purpose of educating the farm
er and of investigating and tabulat-
ing results of all kinds OF land clear
ing experiments in all types of soil

LUMP SUM FOR STATE FAIR
Bill to Recommend Appropriation OF
St25,oOo for Next Exhibit-State
TO Take Receipts.

Madison The finance committee
will recommend State fair bill
which will make fiat appropriation
OF $125,000 to conduct the fair, and
provide that all receipts be turned d.
rectly into the general fund of the
state.
Heretofore the State fair has oper-
ated on a semi-independent basis. 1t
accounted for It'll receipts and expend-
itures, but they were administered by
the board, and the effort was made
each year to sustain it on its own rev
enues. The state made an appropri-
alton to cover the premiums, as is
done for county fairs. This appropri-
alton will disappear this year, and
everything will be covered in a lump
sum. The new policy will act as linn
itation on possible expenditures.
Without other available funds the off,
Gals will be compelled to keep strictly
within the $125.000 dead line. This
amount Is said to be slightly less than
was expended on the fair last year.
The last fair increased Its revenues
SO per cent over its predecessor, and
another such year will make it a
money Garner.

CL0TURE RULE is
ADOPTED BY SENATE
in the Upper House-Three
Votes Against 1t.

Washington, March 10.-The filibus-
ter is dead. The senate is now almost
as free to act on legislation as the other
great deliberate assemblies of the
world.
The obstruction to the presidents
legislation is effectively cleared of the
difficulties of which he so frankly and
Indignantly complained.
The way seems now completely open
by sufficiently defined constitutional
power and through possible congress
sional legislation for the president to
go forward, arm the ships and do any
thing else that may be necessary In
the national emergency.
Senator James Hamilton Lewis reso-
luton declaring 1t the senate's sense
that 1.-THE presidents power is equal In
defending our foreign commerce as In
protecting our domestic trade" will still
further clear the way.
And now there Is no longer any OBJ
struction in the way Of the presiden-
tial action In pressing international
VI III Ill cAtio oNESAchs
of the Sixty-fifth congress to pass
the gigantic appropriation bills which
are literally clamoring for enactment.
Day by day the word has come to
the Pill that the president was wait
ing for "cloture" before he was will
ing to consider action on the armed
ships and the special call of congress.
The vote on the resolution TO curb
debate on bills was 76 ayes and 3
nays. Here are the names of the
three senators who voted against the
amendment to the rule under which
two-thirds of the senate can fix time
for vote:

NEW HIGHWAY BILL
IS BEING PREPARED
MEASURE PROVIDES FOR BETTER
ROAD BUILDING THROUGH
OUT THE STATE.
FEDERAL AID Is ACCEPTED
A System Connecting Every County
Seat and Every City With
Population of 5000 or More
Is Contemplated.

Madison The new highway bill,
over which the members of the spe-
cial highway committee OF both
houses of the legislature have been
working for weeks, has been drawn
and is awaiting the finishing touches
and some slight changes before it is
introduced.
The bill repeats six sections of the
present highway laws and creates
eight new sections. This will give
some idea of its scope and the work
which has been necessary.
The opening sentence in the bill de-
clares that the state of Wisconsin as
sents to the act of congress which
provides aid for state highways, and
the power of entering into contracts
with the proper national authorities
is conferred upon the highway COM
mission. The state pledges its good
faith to make good funds equal to
the contribution of the national gov
eminent, which will aggregate some
thing over s5,OOO,000 in five years.
The highway commission is ordered
as the first step in the construction of
the trunk line highways, to lay out a
system of main travelled roads con-
Meeting every county seat and every
city with a population of 5000 or
more. it being provided that the sys-
tenn shall not be more than 5000 miles
long.
The road may enter villages of $500
population or less. but the system is
to be laid out exclusive of every street
or road in a village except those
where houses are divided by spaces
of more than 200 feet.
A special legislative committee, con-
sisting of three members Of the lower
house to be appointed by the speaker,
and two members of the senate to be
appointed by the committee on COM
mittees. and to be confirmed by the
senate, is to act with the highway
commission in all TIE preliminary
work of laying out the trunk line sys-
TEN. While doing this work they are
to receive SIS per day and their actual
and necessary expenses.

BILL ASKS FOR SANAT0 N
institution for Upper Part
OF the State.

Madison-Provision for the building
of state tuberculosis sanatorium in
northern Wisconsin is made in bill
which Senator Baxter of Superior is
preparing to introduce in the senate.
Senator Bakers bill provides for
the location of the institution north OF
the center line Of the state, and that
it shall be known as the Northern
State tuberculosis sanatorium. 1t is
proposed that the hospital be equip
ped for the treatment of pulmonary
tuberculosis, especially for cases in
the incipient and moderately ad-
vanced stages. The selection of site
and erection OF the building is left to
the state board of control. An appro-
priation of $4,000 is asked.
This is something northern Wis
consin needs pretty badly" said Sena-
tor Baxter. "At present if person in
the northern part of the state, afflicted
with tuberculosis, wants to go to san
atorium, he must go all the way to
Wales, near Milwaukee This is the
only state tuberculosis sanatorium,
outside of the one at Tomohawk lake,
which is more or less an institution
for convalescents.
"The need of this sanatorium Is
shown in the fact that many tubercu-
lar patients are unable to get treat
ment at present. The state has wait
ing list of more than one hundred. and
this doesn't take into account those
who haven't applied. because they
know they can't get in"

CLEAR LAND FOR POTATOES
that by Using Dynamite stumps
can Be Removed Easily.

Tomahawk Lake-A very consider
able amount OF stump land is being
cleared throughout the northern
counties of the state. A number OF
new settlers have taken hold of cut
over ground and find that clearing It
by the use of dynamite proves com
paratively easy, much more so in fact
than by any other method. Much of
the newly cleared ground will be
planted In potatoes, and 1t is expected
that the northern Wisconsin crop OF
tubers will be materially increased.
A determined effort is being made to
induce older residents to follow the
example of the new corners and ap.
ply dynamite to the stumps so as to
raise potatoes while the price is high.

died on Wednesday at Charlottenburg
from Inflammation of the lungs, 1t was
reported. Count Zeppelin, noted aero
naut and inventor of the dirigible bal
loon, was born In Wurttemberg In
1888. Count Ferdinand Zeppelin be-
came famous at the age of seventy as
the builder of the worlds first prac-
teal dirigible balloon. On his seventy
fifth birthday he navigated his twen-
tieth airship to celebrate the occasion.
His dirigible alrships have dropped
bombs on cities In Great Britain many
times during the present war. London
and Paris were attacked many times.
Other cities also have been lombard
ed by these huge dreadnaughts OF the
air at night, and many persons were
killed. The property loss is estimated
at millions.

THEY WERE AS BUSY AS BEES
New York Police Raided Plant
Where Adulterated Honey
Was Made.

One OF the oldest assertions Of the
beekeeper has been that honey could
not be adulterated with success, but
health department inspectors have
found full-blown honey plant In the
basement of a private home in Man
haitian.
There were no bees at work In the
plant when 1t was raided, but there
were half dozen women and a man
as busy as bees with pots and pans
about stove. They were boiling up
a connection the chief ingredients Of
which were sugar and about ten per
cent OF genuine honey. The plant was
discovered after honey purchasers had
complained they were receiving adul-
terated honey.-New York Mail.
