SAVE LIVESTOCK BY
PREVENTIVE MEASURES

Preventive rather than therapeutic
measures will help farmers to conserve
more livestock, says G. P. Fitch, head
of the veterinary division, Minnesota

should be segregated as soon as any
symptoms of illness are noticed If the
trouble appears at all serious a veter-
marian should be called. ~.

could have come home when was
at Smelling, but when the news came as
flash that we were going to leave it
was too late. l will never get enough
money to pay my fare home, because I
pay $1,000 monthly for the Liberty
Bond, and now have to deposit with
the government $500 every month,
that leaves me only $500 pay day. The
government does not want the soldier
to spend the money carelessly, you see,
and for my part I am we'll pleased with
this plan.
1t Is very cold here too. Our first
day here was very pleasant, that fooled
me to write to.you, saying that we had
nice warm weather. It's been showing
here. Is it much snow in Minnesota?
Before we left Fort Smelling, quail
fed as marksman, when we shot for
record. The government pays me $500
extra for this every month. Uncle
Sam loves the man who can shoot, and
presents to him a marksman badge or
pin. Four men in my Co. made sharp
shooters, and these men get $500 each
increase of pay. If my rifle had not
been on the bum, I believe could have
made sharpshooter too They inspect
our rifles every day, and it's worth it,
because it's the most accurate shooter
in the world, and it must be taken good
care Of. The rifle is the soldiers best

TROOPS AND SUPPLIES ARE
GOING ON SCHEDULE TIME

Washington, D. C.. March st is
announced by a high authority that
troops and supplies are moving TO
France on schedule time and that all
transportation requirements are being
met by the shipping board.
In view of this assurance that the
United States will be able to main
tain its place as a fighting unit on
the battle fronts, reports from the
western front are being scanned more
eagerly than ever by officials here
for the first signs Of the 1918 cam
paign-
IN previous years. April has seen
offensive operations set In melton by
the allies For that reason many
officers here seem to anticipate raid
ing and minor assaults before the
middle of next month
To. others it appears that no often
sive will be undertaken on any con-
siderable scale before May.
Meanwhile. there are observers here
who never have been convinced that
the Germans actually intended to at
tempt another drive at the channel
ports or at Paris.

PREACHER
TALKS CLEANUP
Kiwanians Told Evil Must
Go, Even If Investment
Is Lost.

FL Paso's moral problem, as viewed
by an outsider, DR.. Henry Slough.
army ''Y" camp pastor for the south
west, was the subject of vehement
and plain talk by the doctor at the
weekly meeting Of the Kiwanis club
Friday noon at the Modern cafe. DR..
Slough diagnosed the situation here
by telling the following story:
On farm down in Florida. there
was a pet alligator named Pete, who
was we'll domesticated and given the
run of the farm. One day hog was
missed and suspicion pointed to Pete.
Then a calf was missed, and a piclSa-
ninny, Pete being suspected again.
One day the owner of the farm was
seen up a tree and Pete was on the
ground waiting for him to come down.
Some neighbOrs passed the scene and
asked the man why he didn't kill
and a little negro and was now ready
to eat him, and the man replied, 4
can't kill him, as 1 have too much in
vested in him"
Sheriff and Police freed
Gentlemen" said DR.. Slough. Il
police up a tree. You have got to
kill Pete. It is my observation that
sheriffs and police are no better nor
worse than the communities they
represent Therefore the response
bility rests with the people Now.
what other cities have done, you can
do Only say viii and you can
accomplish it."
The cleanup demanded by the gov
eminent is a business proposition. the
doctor showed. Hundreds of dollars
are invested in each soldier and that
soldier must be kept sound and fit
for his duties. The question is also
local moral one. DR.. Slough explained.
The greatest business of a city is 10
make manhood, and the greatest
product of a city is high class man
hood"
Endorse Cleanup.
DR.. Stoughs talk impressed XII
wauians greatly and was followed by
a unanimous vote to back up the city
and county officials in the cleanup.
A brief talk on the high line canal
project was made by Albert s. J.
Eylar. formerly county judge OF FL
Paso county, and now president Of the
Elephant Butte Water Users associa- I
ton. Judge Eylar called attention
that the final contract for building
the canal must follow a vote OF ap-
proval by the landowners in the upper
and lower valleys. He called atten-
views and extreme valley resident I

needed oppose each other. Therefore, /
the final agreement Will have TO be an 4

derstood that the canal would mean a 4
