 Large.

London, Jan. S.-Chancellor Ebert and Philipp Scheidmann, the major ity Socialist leader, are ende.Noring to persuade the people of Berlin to stand by the present government. Ad- dressing large crowds before the cham cellor's palace, they bitterly denounced the insane policy and rascally be- havior" of the Spartacans and prom ised to meet the dangers with firm de- termination. E
 Herr Ebert said the government was determined to maintain security, free dom and right and will stand or fall by the National Assembly, which is the way to freedom and happy fu- ture for Germany | Scheidemann said: "You know what the stake is. If these machina- tions are continued, our women and children will be abandoned to worse famine. than during the four terrible years of the war If you men who have i had military training will join us, you will get arms. We want you for de- fense, but we will not be defeated by these people. Be true and hold out Promise that and we shall do our duty

 Street fighting has been particularly hloody, it IS said, owing to the fact that the Spartacus element has plenty of weapons taken from the munitiCn factories at Spandau While the mas chine guns were firing and bombs were dropping, moving picture operators were recording the scenes.

GREATER EFFICIENCY
IN PRODUCTION OF
LIVESTOCK SOUGHT

| Washington, u. C.-"Better sires,
better stock" is the slogan for a cam.
pafgn to be conducted by the Depart
ment of Agriculture. in cooperation with
State agencies, to improve the country S
standard of live stock and poultry.
Looking ahead to the future food
needs of the country, the campaign
has been planned after many confer
enceS between Department of Agri-
culture officials, State authorities and
livestock breeders. The plan is to has
| ten the replacement of scrub domestic
animals 81 the United States with
pure-bred or highgrade stock and also
to improve the quality OF the pure
breds themselves.
The campaign will be launched Oct
ober 1 and will be the first organized
crusade in any large country to i'm
| prove all live stock simultaneously. 1t
will be supervised from the Depart
ment of Agriculture in Washington
and in each State by the State agricul-
tural college. County agents and other
field workers of the Department and Of
the State colleges will handle the cam
paign locally and it is planned to reach
every county. The goal is greater eff
ficiency in production.
Through the activities of the present
officials of the Department of Agricul-
ture, there have been constant efforts
during the last several years to influ
ence farmers and stock raisers to i'm
prove the standard of their stock, but
until now it has not been considered
possible to conduct countrywide cam
pagn because of the lack of sufficient
blooded sires. But gradually the num-
Der of blooded animals has been in
creased until there IS now probably not
q county in the country in which any
live stock is raised in which there are
not blooded brood animals and the time
is regarded as opportune for the cam
paign which it is hoped will not only
enlist the cooperation of every stock
raiser and farmer on large scale, but
every rural or town resident who owns
one or more porkers or a few chickens,
ducks or turkeys.
More Meat, Better Meat
Better stock means more meat and
better meat, Thus the improvement of
the class of live stock and poultry is
one way of solving the cost of-llving
problem Department of Agriculture
officials believe the campaign will mean
millions of dollars to the farmers and
stock raisers of the country. In fact,
what has already been accomplished has
meant millions to them, for during the
past decade the class of live stock in
every State has been greatly improved
Mississippi is the most notable eX-
ample. Ten years ago, shipments of
live stock from that State amounted to
nothing; now they amount to millions
annually, both for commercial and
breeding purposes. The improvement
in the class of live stock in that State
