PROTECT LIVE STOCK FROM
COLD.

The winter thus far has been un-
usually severe on live stock. 1t is
reasonable to expect two months more
Of disagreeable weather. and this fact
demands that special provision be
made no" TO protect live stock from
further exposure. Comfortable stabling
and housing Of live stock reduces ma
terially the risk from diseases com.
monty caused by cold and exposure.
1t also helps to save feed as animals
well housed do not need so much
feed. See that your live stock are
protected from drafts. Pneumonia
and other serious troubles often de.

STEVENSON ON HIS METTLE

Our Congressman, Hon. William f.
Stevenson, although new member,
is holding his own against all corners.
In letter written by Congressman
Fuller, of Massachusetts, that gentle
man said the Committee on EXpendi-
lures in the Interior Department had
never held a meeting. Mr.. Stevenson
being of that committee in a few
characteristic remarks as reported in
the Congressional Record of Febru.
ary 27 used this rather vigorous Ian
guage: 81 call upon him, (Mr. Full
ler) to retract the statement that that
committee has never met, because if
ne says he was there, then necessarily
he admits that that statment is in
correct if he was there he knew II
was Incorrect and he deliberately said
So" This statement by Mr.. Steven
son was greeted with applause by the
members of Congress. 1t is proper
to say that before the remarks here
quoted Mr.. Stevenson also said:
IL did not intend to inject myself
members, and do not believe in in.
terfering in matters generally, but
there was statement in the paper
that was read here that said that he
resigned from the Committee on EN-
penditures in the lnuerior Depart
.hent, and that the c, lmittee never
had had meeting"
On February 26 Mr.. Stevenson
made a short, but effective speech, on
Federal Control of Railroad Trans
portation. He was replying to ::
speech by Congressman Moore, Of
Pennsylvania, who advocated m ad-
vance in rates for the railroads thai
are now under gov ernnt 1t control
Mr.. Stevenson said:
81 want to call the attention Of this
House to the fact that the raising OF
changing Of rates is the most dcmo.-
alizing thing on the business of tn,
country that can possibly be imagln.
cd. If you make a rate that is not !;
proper one, you will dcmOralize busi
ness, because all the business of the
great manufacturing concerns arc
conducted on the proposition tina,
they will MAKE Their contracts baseC
upon the rate 70 the place where they
sell. That enters into every contrac
for sale, and if the rate is TOO hig.
you W:il caUsc millions Of dollars oi
loss to the manufacturing interest,
of this country, because you have {;
rate which will make Improbable
every contract that is outstanding"

If the sale of War Savings Stamps
is to be successful it will be necessary
for every man, woman and child to
own at least $4,000 worth of these
gilt-edge securities. 1t may be in

terfld County is approaching its pa
triotic quota. On February 23d the
per capita sales in Chesterfield County
equalled the great sum of cents.
Our soldier boys who are sacrificing
everything to make our homes safe

If we are not to be SO Judged it is ur
to US to prove that our patriotism is

carp were placed in the fountain. and
five of these are said to be still alive.

Versailles 164 years age today. He
was a youth OF an inqutring turn Of

greatly interested in natural history
and made a special study Of the age
attained by v-artous~beasts. birds and

lived to a remarkable total OF years.
he ordered ten live carp TO be brought
TO Versailles. On each of these he
placed a snender gold collar. engraved
with a name Tor each nsh ana the date,
and placed them in the carp pond.
This little body Of water remains to-
day identieally the same as in the

was still hope for their cause
