Don't try to save on your freight

the Colorado agricultural college.
"One shipper Overcrowded some of
his stockers. and when his consignment
reached the Denver market, seven

Load your live stock in well-bedded
cars, and do not overload, or under

Put in only enough animals to make
the car snug, so that the animals won't
be thrown around or have room to lie
down in transit.
"a little extra care in the shipping
of live stock will mean money to the
shipper. for it will insure him against
loss, and the stock will arrive in fresh

Washington, Feb. 8 Inquiries have been sent by the State Depart ment to Great Britain, France and Italy regarding the British import embargo, the French cartel system and the Italian system of supervision of purchases, all of which have an ef- feet on American industries.
 The British embargo has been the subject of warm debate in the Senate. where there is pending a resolution by Senator Weeks of Massachusetts, asking for information from the State Department, and it was learned today that various complaints against it have been received by the State Department from manufacturers.
 Protests have been based on the claims that operation of the em- bargo involves discrimination.
 Officials said today no evidence of discrimination had been presented and unless discrimination existed, the United States would have little ground on which to base any protest inasmuch as it was recognized the countries of Europe were compelled to protect themselves during the re- adjustment of the industries to 3 peace basis.

Weimar, Friday, Feb 7.---By The Associated Press The composition of the cabinet appears to be the prin- ctpa1 problem commanding the atten- tton of the new German lawmakers meeting here in the national assem- ply. The original proposition was to form ministry of 15 members, seven of whom should be Majority Social ists, four Centrists and four Demo- crats. The ma atority, however, are understood to be contending that they should be certain to have a majority which the Independent Socialists can- not disturb by any political maneuver.

Proposals Considered To-

Washington, Feb. 8-Proposals to discard the Senate seniority commit tee custom were considered today at a caucus of Republican Senators. Definite plans for reorganization of the next Senate, in which the Repub- licans will have a majority of two, were brought before the caucus. The recently appointed rules revision committee, of which Senator Lenroot of Wisconsin is chairman, had pre- pared report for submission to the caucus. The report, Senator Len root said, recommends a revision of the rules so as to prohibit chair man of any of the ten principal com mittees from serving as chairman of another committee. A chairman of any one of the ten larger committees, it is recommended, may serve on a minor committee, but shall not by seniority of service be named as a conference representative of the minor committee unless so elected by majority vote of the committee members of his own party.

WILL DEMAND
 DOUBLE PAY
 FOR HOLIDAYS

Double pay for legal holidays will be demanded of local manufacturers by members of the local Machinists' union, it was decided at the meeting held last evening. Owing to the fact that under present labor conditions, work on holidays is not necessary. It is thought that as the state declares Feb. 12, Lincoln's birthday to be a holiday. and bank clerks and other clerical employees are allowed 70 ob- serve the day, that shop workers should enjoy the same privilege.
 Cards are to be given out to em- ployes of local shops for their sig natures to a demand for the observa- ton of the holiday or double pay ii the holiday is not observed.
 The matter was brought up before the Board of Mediation and Concilia. ton some time ago, by the members representing the employees.

FARES ION HUN RAILROADS

Munich. Jan. S-Railroad fares,
 already soaring to unprecedented |heights all over Germany despite an
 equally unprecedented poverty of ser
 ycie, are going up again, and this
 time with a jump to take away the
 travellers breath. Prussia, attempt
 ing to make up a deficit of billion and a quarter marks, is going to put
 up fares for passengers 60 per cent. above the present high rates. Bavaria
 and the rest of Germany are expect ed to do likewise and to be affected by general increase.
 Coincident with this unwelcome an nouncement comes word that all pas senger traffic is to be reduced by at least 50 per cent, all military and freight trains by the same proportion. The delivery of hundreds and thou
 sands of locomotives and cars to the Entente powers under the armiStice terms is given as the main reason. Passenger traffic is to be even more
 restricted than today. and no indfvid- ual is to be allowed to travel by train
 unless he can prove to the satisfac- tion of the authorities that the trip is urgently necessary.
 Germany began on about Dec. 20 to deliver to the Entente armistice commissioners 110 locomotives and
 2,400 cars a day for ten days, then 150 locomotives and 320 cars a day for twenty days so as not to be liable to the penalty included in the armis- tice conditions of parting with an other 500 locomotives for failure to deliver on time.

INSURGENTS TO
 KEEP UP WARFAR

Berlin, Wednesday, Feb. S-(By The Associated Press)-Uncon1rme press despatches from Bremen indi- cate that the insurgents there are continuing guerrilla warfare in the outskirts of the city and in the har- Dor, notwithstanding the govern ments claim that the uprising was quelled Tuesday. The casualties are estimated at thirty dead and more than 100 wounded, the insurgents be- ing the heaviest losers. The com munists retreated towards the su- burbs as soon as government troops began to advance in earnest.
 Gustav Noske, who is in charge of military affairs in the Ebert Cabinet, has ordered the Soldiers Council at Erfurt to return the arms which were illegally abstracted from the arsenal there and distributed among the civilians. If the order is not obeyed within four days, it is an- nounced, the government will dis arm the civilians, who are said to be presumably organized for an attack on the national assembly at Weimar
