Jacksonville, Dec. Judges In the
cattle show, one of the principal fea-
lures of the big Florida State Fair
and Exposition, yesterday announced
the winners of the principal prizes in
the big all-Southern competition, hay
ing just completed their tremendous
task OF picking the best exhibits from
such collection in which all ranked
far above the average.
Far Above the Average.
This show, according to authodities
or live stock subjects, ranks far
above the average for shows of this
character in the Southern states and
tho forecast is generally made that
within few years the annual cattle
showing at the Florida State Fair and
Exposition will be rated the most
representative gathering Of the kind
held anywhere in the South. Florida
is rapidly coming to the fore in the
cattle industry and particular inter
est has been shown during the show
in the exhibits of Florida bred stock.
Cross-bred cattle also have claimed
a large part of the attention and Flor
ida ranchers are being complimented
highly for their displays and the CO.
operation which they have shown,
one with the other and all with state
and national authorities in working
for the advancement of the industry.

WASHINGTON NOTES
L'Etat Cest Moi,

The dangerous approach which this
country was making toward autocracy
and the effect of that evolution on the
minds of certain of our foreign ele-
ments, is well exemplified by one of
a set of resolutions adopted by the
Lithuanians in convention at New
York City, March 13, last, when the
representatives of nearly one million
Lithuanians resident in America, after
a series of "whereases" closed with
this one:-"That the resolutions of
this convention be forwarded to Wood
row Wilson, our Honorable President,
the protector and defender of the
small and oppressed nationalities, and
to all the other governments of the
Allies and neutral nations" That is
one of the effects of the George Creel
In the minds of the
the government of the
United States seems to have been but
an appendage of Mr.. Wilson, notwith-
standing the fact that, with the ex-
ception of France, he is the only gov
head who derives his au-
thority directly from the people. No
wonder the American Republic got up
on its ear and declared itself Novem-
ser 9Th.

edly the slackers have already been

who do not keep records and tests of

At the present high prices for feed

to be keeping cows that are mere

TO PAY FOR CATTLE KILLED
BECAUSE OF TUBERCULOSIS
Government Appropriation Provides
for Payment of One-Third Each
by Federal Authorities and
State

Tuberculosis eradication has never
made much progress for the simple
reason that livestock owners have oh
jected to standing all Of the loss that
resulted from condemnation and
slaughter of tubercular animals. -
says Geo. II. Gloccr, of the Colorado
Agricultural College.
''The government has now come TO
the rescue by providing for an indem-
nifty for tubercular animals killed and
it is expected that this will remove
much of the opposition to disease era
dication work.
''The 1918 agricultural appropria-
ton bill just passed by congress pro-
vides that where cattle have been
slaughtered because of tuberculosis
the department of agriculture will pay
one-third of the difference between the
appraised value of the cattle and the
salvage value of the slaughtered ami
NAL provided the state is cooperating
in the work and pays an equal amount.
According to this arrangement, the
the federal government, the state.
and the owner of the cattle will share
equally in the loss that results from
slaughtering infected animals, and
all will be benefited.
''This is n new departure on the
part of the federal government and it
is expected to meet with the hearty
approval and support Of livestock
owners generally. 1t certainly should
give impetus TO tuberculosis control
and eradication. There. is no money
in keeping tuberculosis herd to say
nothing of the danger of transmitting
the disease to the human. 1t is esti-
mated that about Is percent of pure
bred cattle in this country are tuber-
cular and that the annual loss in the
United States because of the disease
in cattle and hogs is fully $4,000,
OOO."

The Whole Cheese.

1t is reported that Mr.. Wilson is
seriously considering sitting down at
his typewriter and hammering out
credentials for Peace Commissioner
woodrow Wilson, to be signed by
President Woodrow Wilson. II the
document is properly worded and cor
rectly typed doubtless it will be ac-
cepted by the committee on credentials
and Commissioner Wilson will be given
a seat with the others. But what
then? The other members of the
American commission will sink i'm
mediately into insignificancc, and for
all the influence they will have on the
convention might as well go on a fish
ing trip down the Rhine. The situa-
ton will be the same as if King
George were to appear as the repre-
sentative of England or President
Poineare as a commissioner from
France. The rest of the personnel of
the British and French commissions
would respectfully retire.
Our Secretary of State is the only
American official holding an office at
all analogous to that of Lloyd George
or Clemenceau. He is the logical man
to head the United States Peace Com
mission. II is preposterous for the
President of a country that has been
in the war only eighteen months to
attend a conference of nations that
havy been engaged in the conflict over
four years, but who are represented
only by their premiers. The differ
cnce in political status would be at
once apparent, and feeling would
be engendered that would not enhance
the prestige of the United States.
Better by far that Mr.. Wilson stay at
home and send to the peace conference
men of ability who can meet the pleni-
potentiaries of other countries on an
equality with themselves. Thus will
a free and unhampered discussion of
terms be assured, with a continuance
of the present friendly understanding
between the allied nations and the
United States.

NEW GOVERNOR AND
SENATOR ON FARM
CONGRESS PROGRAM
Shoup and Phipps to Appear Wednes-
day Afternoon-State Beekeep-
ers TO Meet-Potato-GrOw
ers Complete Pro-
gram.

The program of the Colorado Farm
ers' and Farm Women's Congress
which meets at the Agricultural Col
lege at Fort Collins, December 9 to
10, increases in interest as it rounds
into shape. The program this year
will probably number more prominent
men than that of any previous session.
The latest to be added to the list are
Governor-elect Oliver H. Shoup and
Senator-elect Lawrence C. Phipps. who
will have places on the program We'd
nesday afternoon. This will furnish
the farmers of the State an excellent
opportunity to get acquainted with
these newly elected officials and their
attitude toward agriculture.
The Colorado State Bee Keepers
Association will hold its annual met
ing at the college on Wednesday and
Thursday during FarmerJ' Congress
week. The otiiaers of the association
are now at work preparing the pro-
gram. The honey-producing industry
has grown very rapidly in Colorado
during the past three or four years,
and especially during the past year.
The production of honey for 1917 was
so cars for the state; it is estimated
this year that $50 cars have been pro-
duced. The average valuation Of 4
car of honey is $4,000, bringing the
total valuation of the products of this
industry for this year up to S750,OCO.
With such growth in the industry
the association becomes of greater i'm
portance and value to the membership
and a large increase in attendance at
the meeting this year is expected.
The fourth annual meeting of the
Colorado State Potato Growers As
sociation will be held December 10, IL |
and IL, during the week of the Farm

The problem which concerns the
placement of women in positions held
by men released for war service, as
well as the placement of wage earners
made idle through industrial changes,
will be simplified by new plan now
being put into effect by the labor de-
partment. This plan includes the
transfer of the United States employ
ment service from the bureau of immi-
grafton to the Office Of the secretary
of labor and will also centralize the
work of the various employment bu-
reaus throughout the country. In adj
dition to $250,000 placed in the hands
of the secretary of labor for war emer-
gency employment work by the urgent
deficiency bill, further sum has been
made available by President Wilson
from his $10O000,00O appropriation, to
carry on the service pending further
action by congress.

Tue Fifth Cycle

In these days of war, tremendous con centrations and accomplishments, the inn portance of great historical events IS apt to be lost sight of by we who witnessed them. Take the case of the first air mail service installed between Philadelphia and New York on Wednesday of last week. This is an epoch in human affairs. It ranks with the locomotive, the telephone and the cable. It may well revolutionize our so- cial and business life Air mail service Consider it. Speed at the rate of two hun dred instead of sixty miles an hour. No tracks, no roadbeds, no bridges. The first mighty step from terra firma to the blue. As great a contrast with the old service as the express train was with the stage coach. The development of the airplane in the past three or four years has marked our mightiest step in the past half century Consider, that there have been only two real steps since the middle ages, and one was steam and the other was. electricity Now comes the winning of the air. Only three in all All the multitude of inven- tions and innovations that have accompan- jed them have been only their children. And if one goes back into that dim period of the dark ages and gropes forward with the slow and struggling procession of man he will find only two lamps along the way. One was the invention of printing and the other was the mad friars gunpowder. So, if we have as many as seven scientific wonders, and many learned men declare we have not, the victory over the air surely ranks as one of the immortal seven. Con servative savants and psychologists assert that we have passed through only four cy- cles of civilization and progress up to this time, and these are, in the order named, printing, gunpowder, steam and electricity. Air flight makes the fifth cycle.
