fine BULLS FOR GAR

Due to the good work at the stock
show of the committee recently an
pointed for that purpose, over one hun
dred choice registered bulls have been
purchased for Garfield county stock
men, and the animals arrived the first
Of the week and have been delivered
to the various owners and this summer
they will be distributed to the various
mountain ranges on which our cattle
pasture.
These animals are far superior, so
we are told; to the average heretofore
used by Garfield county stockmen and,
owing to the cooperative plan in pur-
chasing same, the cost to the stockmen
was less than heretofore paid for in
ferior bulls.
Those interested who have expressed
themselves to the Post on the matter
seem to be highly pleased with the
plan and all are we'll satisfied with
their bargains. This movement alone
ought to be sufficient to show what
may he done for the community bene-
fit when cooperative movement is
undertaken and there is n leader to
carry the plan to success.

WILSON TO FURLOUGH
SKILLED FARMERS

Topeka, Kan, Jan. 31.-It is the hope
and expectation of the administration
that farmers Essential to the contin-
ued and undiminished operation OF
farms' may be given deferred elassi-
fication in the draft and that furloughs
may be granted at planting and harvest
seasons to those already in service, ac-
cording to letter received by Cover
nor Capper today from President Will
son. The governor had written the
president urging the furloughing of
skilled farmers at harvest time and
steps to prevent the drafting of farm
laborers in view of the serious farm
labor shortage in Kansas.

We MADE SOME STIR
At STOCK SHOW

The Garfield county fellows succeeded
in getting mixed lot of 100 head of
Shorthorn and Hereford bulls in Den
yer last week. These animals are to be
turned out on the range indiscriminate-
ly as we understand it and this brings
up the advisability of such course.
that nothing but registered sires of one
special breed should be used if to bring
about Improvement in their range stock
Increase in profit can be effected in no
other way. The cost of sufficient
supply of well-bred bulls is consider
able. If the cattlemen are willing to
secure yearlings and give them special
range for one year, where they will be
separate from the female herd and be-
come aeciimatiz4d, these animals may
be obtained for an average of $3.50 a
head. 1t is better, however, to pay
larger sums for animals of superior
merit. No cattleman should hesitate
to pay 5000 for a good bull. The num-
ber of years which bull may be main
tained in service varies considerably.
1t is probable that eight years would
be a high average, but there is no rea-
son why good sire should not be re-
tanned five years. During this time the
bull should sire 100 calves if given
reasonable opportunity. If kept up and
run on alfalfa the number should read

THE new WAFER POWER Bill

The twelve,year fight to keep the ma
tion S water power from capture by the
power monopolists is at last on the
verge of being won. The administra-
ton Water Power bill, now before con-
gress, opens .he way to save for the
PEOPLE of the United States their most
valuable asset. Some fifty million
water horsepower is at stake.
The bill in question was formulated
under the direction of the secretary of
agriculture, the secretary of war, AMI
tic secretary of the interior, was sub
mitted to the president for his approval
and recently put forward as an admin
istration measure. 1t deals with WAGER
power in national forests, publ, lands
Indian lands, and navigable streams. A
special committee of the house has been
created to consider it.
1t is an edmirable measure, drawn
with thorough knowledge and unusual
s;ill. The principles essential fer the
wise use and development of our public
water power in the public interest are
ali embodied in it.
In my ettar to you of Novembe. l6.
1sl7, I urged your support of the fol
lowing seven definite principles i, wa-
ter power legislation:
Q) The thing to do with water pow
er is to develop it. Whatever retards
or restricts the development Of public
water powers on terms fair to the ub.
lie is against public policy and hostile
to the general welfare.
t2) Water power belongs to the pco-
pie. The sites where it is produced
should always be held in public lands,
for only so can effective control in the
general interest be secured.
(3) Where public development is not
desired, the right to use water power
sites should be leased for pertods long
enough to permit sound, attractive, and
profitable investment, but never longer
than fifty years. At the end Of each
lease all rights should return to the, ,peo.
pie who gave them.
~ In order to protect the consumer
against extortion, rates and service
should be regulated by federal author.

to do 50.

subject to market conditions, should be

1t is a real pleasure to tell you tina .
every one of these principles is fully
safteeuarded in the Administration :.
Water Power Bill. What remains, there
fore, is for congress to put this meas
ure through without delay.
The Administration Water Power bill
will first come before the house of rep
resentatives, where an effort will GER
tainly be made to amend it in the in.
terest of the power interests. If that
fails, the water power lobbyists will
endeavor to have the indefensible pro.
visions of the Shields bill substituted il
the senate for the Administration bill
Beaten in that, they will fall back upon
the formula of obstruction and delay
they have used so successfully for the
last ten years.
This measure is practical, fair, anl
wise. The friends of conservation should
insist that their friends in congress
shall give their prompt and full support
to the Administration Water Power bill,
and shall see to it that it is passed
without emasculation, substitution, or
postponement. 1t is of vital interest
to our country while the war is on, and
will be equally important after the war
is over.
The passage Of this law will secure
to the American people forever vast re-
sources whose use for the good of all
will make this land safer and better
place to live in. All the forces of con-
servation are behind it. I urge you to
give the Administration Water Power
bill your strongest approval and sup.

Strikes in Germany Caused by
Delay in Franchise Reform.
Minister Snubs Workers
FORCE WILL Be USED

London, Jan. 31.-An dispatches re-
ceived in London this morning show
that the strike menace in Germany in
creased yesterday, even semi-official
telegram from Berlin saying "only an
inconsiderable extension'' took place.
While the opinion prevails in some
quarters of England that exaggerated
accounts of the strike have been circu-
lated by the German government in
order to influence the engineers on the
Clyde and other centers in England,
who have threatened to lay down their
tools unless the government gave satis-
factory guarantees that it would open
peace negotiations as well as the pa
cifists in the entente countries gener-
ally. there must have been, and still is,
very considerable stoppage of work
in important war industries
The strike which was begun in Ber-
lin chiefly because of dissatisfaction
over the delay in carrying out tie
L
less spread throughout the provinces
and, according to Hamburg Socialist
paper, state of seige has been de-
clared in that city and vicinity where
strikes have occurred in the Vulcan
shipbuilding works and the plants Of
Blohm and Voss.
The strikers committee, which was
formed in Berlin with representatives
of the two wings of the Socialist party
as members of it, has formulated Ger.
tain demands. An early peace without
annexation las opposed to the Father
land party agitation for a continuance
of the war, seems to be the greatest
desire of the workers who threaten re-
prisals which, according to one report,
already have commenced throughout the
country owing to the refusal of Herr
Walraff, minister of the interior. to
meet the strikers. His action in going
into conference with Lieutenant Gen
cral Won Stein, former Prussian minis
ter of war, and now commander of tho
home forces, possibly with view to
suppressing the strikes by military
force, has further angered the strikers.
The German press generally con-
demns the strike and warns the strikers
that they have gone the wrong way
about getting an early peace, and are,
instead. harming their own country.
Some of the papers, however. blame
the government. The Magdeburg
Voksstimmc, for example, says that
there is limit to the patience of every
people, adding:
at is the task of sagacious .uv-
ernmcnt policy not to allow things to
go so far. How things develop depends
far less on anonymous circulars than
OF what a people has to expect from
its government
The Cologne Volks Zeitung lectures
tt" Socialist leaders and says the fact
that representatives of the majority
wing have joined the strike committee
indicates that the social democracy be-
lieves that its hour has come to bring
about its political peace program by
violence.
The Cologne Gazette says that the
" orkers' council, formed at Vienna
during the recent strike there has be-
come permanent body.

New Craft Of Novel Design
and Equipped with Latest
Devices Soon Ready
new TYPE OF FIGHTER

Washington, Jan. 31.-New subma.
rine fighters of powerful type are
about to be turned out in the United
States in large numbers. After testi-
tying today before the house naval
committee on the naval appropriation
bill, Secretary Daniels authorized the
statement that contracts for "several
scores' of the new craft had been
placed with the Ford Motor company
of Detroit. He described them as
"half way between a destroyer and a
submarine chaser" 200 feet long, and
equipped with the latest discoveries for
combating submarines.
All parts of the ships except the en-
gines are to be fabricated i'm Detroit
and the parts shipped to seaboard,
where they will be assembled. Deliver
les on the contracts during the coming
summer are assured, Mr.. Daniels said.
The new vessels are expected to
prove far superior to the chasers now
IN use, including those of the 110-foot
class. They will have steam power with
q greater radius of action, will be more
sea-worthy and will be able to carry
heavier armament. 1t has developed
that the latest German submarines are
equipped with guns that outrange those
of small chasers and even some mer-
chant ships. .-eF
Possibility that additional contracts
might be given other automobile firms
WAS suggested by Mr.. Daniels, but he
said NO definite action had been taken
along this line.
