If Western Spirit Prevailed Land Between Baltimore and New Orleans Could Not be Duplicated.

Baltimore, Md, Dec. 1O.-Develop- 1 ment of trade With the I,atin- m3ri- can countries and the improvement and further construction of in!ane! waterways were leading features in the discussions of afterthe-war pro8- lems and reconstruction by Governor of western and southern states, ans! mayors of seaboard cities, before the various sections of the Southern Comm ercial Congress today Al the session of the house of governors to- night, overnor Tmmett .:oyle. of Nevada, declared that Eff the west ern spirit prevailed in the south the land between Baltimore and New Orleans could not Ee duplicated in any other territory in the country" Governor Boyle told how the barren, arid and unused lands in the west had, in recent years, been converted into fertile and productive territory and pointed out to the Southerners the opportunities presented for similar work throughout the south and south west.
 Governor Richard l.. Manning. of South Carolina. said:
 "The time is now ripe in the south to realize our responsibilities and solve the great question that confront us. We have made rapid strides dur ing the progress of. the war, and we must continue tc advance. But the stamp of illiterarcy stands against us.

Kaansas City. Dsc. 10.--Conductors and \motormen of the Kansas City Railways Company tonight voted to call a strike, beginning at 4 O. clock tomorrow morning, when. lead- CTS said, cars would be taken to the barns. Alleged failure of the conn pany to put into effect wage increases recently granted by the War Labor Board was given as the reason for the strike. "a

The strike leaders assert employees at power house joined the union of other street car employees today and will obey the strike summons.

CHESTS RfM0VfD
 BY BRITISH AND
 FRI NIGH OFFICERS

London, Dec. 10 (British Wireless Service) )--F'rench and British pickets under the direction of the paymaster general of the French army and in the presence of German officers in civilian clothes, have been sent to the various banks of Brussels, notably the Compton National D'Escomptede, Par is. and the Credit Lyonnais, in the last two days, and have removed large numbers of chests which were placed there by the Germans about the mid- dle of October
 These chests, the Reuter- cores. pondent at Brussels says, contain strong boxes and securities taken from towns in northern France, including Lille. Roubaix, Tourcoing, Valcennnies St. Quentin and Cambrai. Other cases placer by the enemy in the banks at Liege are said to contain securities to the value of billions of francs
 These valuables will be returned to the financial establishments from which they were taken except in the case of towns whereethe banks have been destroyed, as for instance, St Quentin and Cambrai. In such cases the securities will be deposited in Paris,

CATTLE SHOULD BE
 SHREDDED IN WINTER
Proper Protection From Weather Pre-. vents Loss of Flesh if Feeding Is Commenced Early.

It has not been customary to pay much attention to the shelter of cattle in Arkansas. It has not been a general practice to provide ample feed for cat- tie, but rather to let them shift for themselves much the same as the raZorback hog does. A very heavy fall- ing off in flesh takes place under these conditions before winter has actually begun. Persons who allow cattle, good, bad or indifferent, to begin win ter in this way experience such heavy losses early that is it doubtful wheth- CT profit will be finally realized
 There is natural way to head off this heavy loss and that is with feed and shelter. Begin feeding as needed before grazing is all gone. The stock will go on grazing between feeds and no pasture feed will be lost whiel shrinkage in weight will be held low.
 With prompt fall seeding should go shelter. Stock should be sheltered against the first cold fall rain. Ex- posture to cold fall and winter rains is worse than exposure to severe dry cold. Expensive shelter is not neces- sary. A shed with a roof that will turn water and reasonably tight walls OH three sides, leaving the south side open. is quite satisfactory for most cattle, especially if the shed is in a sheltered spot A shed can be durable and effective without being unduly ex- pensive. For milk cows and young cal- yes it is we'll to have even warmer quarters which need not be expensive
 A good shed will keep cattle com fortable in time of storm. Their thrift will depend upon their comfortable condition which in turn will depend upon food and shelter. A ready sup ply of good water should in all cases be considered a part of good feeding
 The early shrinkage of cattle, es- pecially in December when feeding and shelter1ng are neglected; is alto gether apalling and discouraging| The writer has witnessed numerous in- stances where the shrinkage in De- cember was greater than ought to be expected to take place by the first of March. Such cattle, winter badly. be- come very thin, grew little or none at all during the winter, lose thrift, and are in poor condition to grow in spring. The results are discouraging and are injurious to the cattle indus try in the state. The writer firmly be- lieves that live stock properly hand led will soon the regeneration of southern agriculture, and is convin- ced thru experience and wide observa- tiOn that reasonable and moderate care will pay in all cases and that the old practice is losing game with all classes of cattle.

DRUMRIGHT MAN WON
BIG SHRINE DIAMOND
W. II. Boucher Carried OFF HOnors OF
Fall Ceremonial OF Akdnr Temple
at Convention Hall Last Night.

Every conceivable torture known
to Shrinedom was applied to the 100
or more nOviCes who were put
through" last night at convention
han in ceremonial session which
lasted until very late.
The usual course OF humiliation,
suffering and ali around devilment
which is prescribed for the "unfor-
tunates" who elect 1t, brought as
much amusement to the pUpuIace as
1t did TO those who had been through
II and who took keen delight in ad-
ministering the punishment" In
fact, Tulsa took more amusement
from the antics Of the Shriners than
from anything that has taken place
since the armistice was signed.
Bedouin Temple In Muskogee and
Indian Temple in Oklahoma City
sent large delegations to Tulsa to as
slst in the ceremonial and incidental
numbers on the Shrine program for
the day. Many of the visiting
Shrlners brought their wives and
some their sweethearts with them.
One noticeable feature OF the days
program was the large number OF
men In Khaki who wore the red fez.
SeNerai OF the noYlces were also

The serious business OF the day
was transacted last night at convcn-
tion hall. Shriners only know what
happened there but 1t is permitted
the press to announce that the class
ring went TO w. II. Boucher, OF
Drumright, who though he had a
poor start and a case OF mistaken
identity and was busy most Of the

body of water was becoming Ger

population having Baltic ports Give
reconstructed Poland again her anci-
ent outlet TO the seas through her

THE third reason is the breaking
up of Austria, which is as serious Il
menace to permanent peace, un.ess

foresight, as even the German-Rus-
sian boundary situation. Leave cen
