ENGLIsHMAN PRAISES AMERICA

Just what do foreigners think of
America and Americans? America S
active participation in world affairs
during the recent years of war and
months of peace-making has given
this question a significance which it
has not had before, and opinions of
men of other nations who have really
studied America and Americans are
worth consideration.
Frank Dilnot, an English journalist
who spoke here Thursday night,
frankly likes Americans and their
customs. They are different from the
people at home, Dilnot admits in a
book which he has just published,
"The New America" but, on the
whole, he likes them for Their differ
ences.
Dilnot's work is full of appreciation
of America He takes great pains TO
justify and explain certain American
customs and manners which a less
gentle and understanding critic would
indict as crude and condemn as ig-
norant. His clemency covers a broad
field, varying from Colonel House and
Elihu Root to Billy Sunday, and from
taxicabs to bathing suits. He admits
only two subjects upon which Ameri-
cans and Britons cannot meet upon
common ground-bacon and baseball.
AS business man, gentleman, poll
tician, statesman and soldier, the
American is unstintedly praised by the
British writer, who, in the final chap
ters, pays special tribute to America
at war, and to the American spirit
which famed up with President Will
sons speech to Congress asking for a
declaration of war April 2, 1917.

a proof of successful effort in one of

"SWAT THE SCRUB BULLS"
The Difference

The comparison between the scrub
and the registered animals shown in
the illustrations are Of the two ex-
tremes. The scrub is a cold-blooded-
in many sections - tick afflicted
male, incapable, in his present condi-
ton Of responding in weight to feed
an absolute horror when thought
of as being used for breeding pur-
poses.
Both Of the registered animals are
of the highest type of their respective
breeds and are the result of years of
careful breeding and development.
Crossed with a grade COW, either of
them would sire calf which, at Il
months old, would be worth more
than the dam.
The calf sired by the pure bred
would have value double that sired
by the scrub, out Of the same cow.

purpose of creating greater interest
in the improvement Of live stock by
the use Of pure bred sires, and to de-
wise ways and means Whereby the
scrub bulls may be banished from the
state and their owners enabled to buy
registered breeding animals without
financial inconvenience.
II is a move which has been agi-
tated for years by farmers and breed
ers alike; it is move which is the
primary object of every county breed
ers' association and live stock organi-
zation in Oklahoma; it is a move
which is generally conceded will do
more towards widespread wealth and
prosperity than the practical devel-
opment Of any other of the states in
dustries, and 1t is move which will
give the commonwealth a greater
prestige in the matter of advanced
animal husbandry than that enjoyed
by any other state in the nation.
