SILOS WILL PUT LIVE
STOCK INDUSTRY BACK
ON PROFITABLE BASIS
Furnish Carbohydrates in Cheapest
Known Form.

The chief expense connected with
the cattle industry is the cost of feed
ing the animals. Therefore it is the
first one to study. The early cattle men
of the Great Plains braved the wilds
and hardships Of frontier life because
it solved the feeding problem.
The decline in the live stock in
dustry Of this country was caused by
lack of profit in the business and this
lack of profit YVES caused by the
lack of economic feeding.
The way of better methods has been
pointed out for many years but few
have followed. Now we see the course
marked by silos which, as light
houses, shed their CLEAN through
the darkness of wasteful feeding.
More than ever before we are called
upon to help feed the world. This
is a fortunate demand and we should
meet it with liberal supply. Richly
endowed by nature, we have fertile
farms, good crops and improved stock.
Properly handled, we can feed the
world and prosper in so doing. Mil
lions of dollars are annually wasted
through the lack of silos and millions
through poor and wasteful feeding.
Five-sixths Of an animals required
ration is carbohydrates. Corn, cane,
and kaffir silage furnishes this in the
cheapest known form. This is why
the silo solves the feeding problem

Warren to Hold U. S. Purse.

| washington, Jan. i.-lopeclal cor
respondence)-The great Appropria-
tions Committee of the Senate will be
presided over again by Republican
when the reins are surrendered by the
Democrats after March 4th. Senator
Francis L. Warren Of Wyoming will
be the man selected to take the chair
manship. Mr.. Warren held that posi-
tion when the Democrats obtained con-
troll in 1913, and has remained the
ranking Republican member. His long
association with Senators Allison of
Iowa and Hale of Maine, as they were
successfully chairman of the COM
mittee, equipped Mr.. Warren as a
most capable manager of it's affairs
after their retirement from the Senate.
His administration as chairman, coy
ering the period Of two years I'M
mediately preceding the regime of the
Democrats, stamped him as being a
man of decision, of great legislative
ability, and possessed of keen in
sight into the management Of the
Government that will insure effective
economy in the future appropriation
bills without loss of efficiency.

The snub which AL Burleson receiv-

Gently must have tilted his nose to q
degree which made walking in a rain
storm peril by drowning. The Brit
ish government notified the Commerce.
al Cable company that it would assist
the Western Union Telegraph company
IN handling cable traffic from Great
Britain while the latter company's
service was interrupted, only "on con-
dition that no control be exercised
from America" II this isn't a hint
to the American people as to the un-
scrupulous manner in which Burlesop
is editing cable news with u political
chart in front of him, we don't know
what is. Al may have embezzled the
cables, but the British Government
will not be party to perverting or
manufacturing dispatches.

resources at the disposal of the Demo-
cratic Custodian of Alien Property.
He recently filed his report as of
October 31st. 1t shows trust accounts
under his jurisdiction amounting to
over $487, 100000. OF that sum about
$9O,000,000 is represented by busi-
nesses and estates, and SS4, 100000 by
vessels. The rest is in the shape of
cash, stocks, bonds, mortgages, notes
and accounts receivable, and real
estate. 1t is a relief that this vast
accumuplation is to be supervised by
a Republican Congress. While the
present incumbent of the office Of
Custodian probably will remain in that
position as long as Democratic Presi-
dent is in the White House neverthe-
less the administration Of his trust
will be conducted under the watchful
eye of a Republican Congress, and he
will be held to a strict account for
any derelictions.
