GREAT FERTILIZER BEDS
TAKEN FROM GERMANS

Washington Sept 30-Control of
valuable and extensive deposits of
phosphate rock on Pleasant Island,
rand Ocean Island, former German
property now in the hands of the
British, is being sought by Austral-
ia and New Zealand with view to
working the deposits and using the
fertilizing agent on the soil of the
South Pacific colonies.
The islands are located about mid
way between the Marshall and Solo
mon Islands and are of coral for
nation. For ages they have been
the rookeres of sea birds that have
deposited guano; and this has i'm
pregnated the limestone, forming
phosphate rock about forty feet deep.
The quantity of phosphates available
is estimated at 5O0,000,000 tons and
as fertilizer it is said to rival the
famous nitrate of Chile.

ial license regulations relative to the

ed in connection with the recent in

at which these commodities had been

TEXAS BEEF CATTLE TO
TO BE SOLD AT SACRIFICE

Never in the history Of our state
| has there been such an opportunity
for our farmers to buy registered and
high grade cattle, at such low prices
as is now offered by the stock breed
ers of Texas.
AS is generally known, the pro-
tracted drouth in Texas makes it i'm
possible for her to feed her cattle
so ranch-men are anxious to sell at
prices ranging from $500 to $500
less per hudredweight on all grades
Of cattle than obtained last year at
this time. The prices this year will
range from $500 to 1000 per hundred
weight
The Government Administration of
Railroads has put in an emergency
ar rate, in order to meet this situa-
ton Now is great opportunity and
under all these favorable conditions
if our farmers do not take prompt
advantage of it they may make a
mistake.
If any one is wanting Herefords,
Short Horns, Angus or any other
grades, VIII ether feeders or stockers
let it be known at once, and any one
interested please advice their county
Agent or write us we will help them
Ii is probable that a number of stock
men in each County community could
form a pool and buy together, which
perhaps will work to advantage for
all. Again, with sufficient assurance
Texas dealers might hold sales at diff
forcnt points along our line for the
benefit Of the farmers.
Nothing in this matter can be ac-
camp'ished unless We iet, from our
friends who are interested and we are
anxious to see them avail themselves
o. this unusual atvGr tptecus oppor-
tua;ty
Prospective purchasers should spe-
city the number and kind of cattle
they want. whether steers, heifers or
calves. Farmers along the line of the
A B.& A. Railroad last year purchas-
ed drought that Company over 5000
head of Texas cattle and these have
proven a gratifying success. We
would like to see every farmer along
our line purchase some of these cattle
this year because the mild winters,
natural pastures and long grazing
seasons of the South makes 1t one of

 Team No. 1 of both Associations played the first set of games. At the beginning the local men seemed to have the advantage but after a severe struggle the local team was defeated twice in succession.
 The New Haven players used good tactics.
 The second team of both "Y7s'' came to close battle but again the local men had to admit the superior ity of their anniversary and twice in succession lost the game. This ia the first meet of the season and hay ing had the opportunity to meet, and be defeated by the best teams in the state, will only stir them up for the future.
 A supper was served right after the games where the greatest cordiaIty reigned between the members.

BROWNING ACT OF
 GERMAN OPPRESSION

In "Everybody's'' for December, Brand Whitlock quotes details of the crowning act of German oppression in strife by setting brother against brother with the hope of leading the wrecked nation to destroy itself.
 'The latest and worst of German astrocities in Belgium was always re- ferred to as la separation administra- tive, a phrase that hardly illustrates it's sinister and tragic significance. It meant more, of course, than mere division of the prosaic functions of the civil administration of the kingdom {; It involved the establishment of two administrations where one had served
 before, one that had been in opera tion for more than 80 years and was
 an integral part Of a most practical and satisfactory system of government,
 based on the old communal system. Il involved the destruction of the work
 Of long years of Belgian effort.
 Tt was considered necessary be- cause it was desired to dismember Belgium; not alone to create dissen- , sions among the people, not only to divide them and to break the national spirit, but to destroy the nation; it , was part of the unaItered purpose of the German military oligarchy and the Pan-Germanists to creat a MitteI- europa, a purpose from which they had never swerved for an instant; . they would first separate the Flemish provinces from Europe, and then at- tach them to the Empire, thus gaining i the great port of Antwerp anJ the Belgian littoral."

SCOUT CASSELS WILL SPEAK AT
 MASS MEETING

Scout Joe Cassels, a typical repre- sentative of the British army, will be one of the speakers at the mass meet ing at the Armory Saturday night in observance of British day. Scout Cassels, a professional soldier with years of experience in India, was a member of the famous Black Watch regiment, and saw some of the bitter est fighting in the early part of the war.
 In Flanders and northwestern France he witnessed the effect of the first German atrocities. At Soissons he saw i,..d talked W th the victims of these atro cities. Later on he experi- enced the first German gas attack and saw the beginning of trench warfare. There is enough shrapnel in his body to add appreciably to his weight. He
 carried on" until he was actually disqualified for further military ser- vice. In America he. has thrilled thousands with his recital. His de- scriptions have aroused hundreds to ! their responsibilities and he will bring
 to Bridgeport facts that will make
 many realize the great part that Brit ain has played in the war.
 Mayor Wilson will preside at the meeting. the Wheeler &y Wilson band i will play, and the combined Liberty choruses, under the direction of Prof. Alvin s. Breul and Mrs. r. B. Granniss will sing. Every lodge and society in | the city has been invited to attend the 1 meeting and it is expected that the i general public will turn out in num- ] bers sufficient to fill the armory.

LAvIGNE-WALCOTT BATTLE.

Kid Iavigne and Joe WaIcott fought 8 15-round draw at Maspeth, N. Y, on this date in 1895. The little French Canadian was light for a lightweight, and had only recently graduated from the featherweight class. The sawed off Demon of Barbados had challenged several middleweights and heavy weights, although hS was only a wei ter, and 8 few years later he actually defeated the great Joe Choynski. AL though Lavigne had made great showing in the ring, few fans thought he would stand a chance against Joe,
 and the Walcott packers offered 4 to 1 on their favorite. Walcott was greatly weakened by making the re- quired weight of 133 pounds, but he fought like a demon, and the Kid had some hard sledding before he earned draw This "battle of Long Island'' deserves to rank among the greatest ever staged. Two years later Lavigne defeated Walcott in 12 rounds at San Francisco.
