GAME WARDEN WANTS
MORE PROTECTION FOR
DOVES AND SQUIRRELS

Oklahoma City, Jan. S.-Amend-
mcntS to the state game laws which
will give protection to the squirrel,
which has so far escaped the atten-
tion Of Oklahoma's lawmakers, will
be recommended by G. A. Smith,
state game and fish warden, to the
legislature The recommendation is
included in the annual report OF
Mr.. Smith to the governor and the
legislature. Mr.. Smith suggests that
the squirrel be protected from the
hunters gun during March and Feb
ruary. which is their nesting sea-
son. Other recommendation con-
corning game laws and much infor-
nation on the conduct of this de
partment during the last year are
contained in Mr.. Smiths report.
The game warden will ask also
that the closed season on doves be
made from December Is to Septem-
Der |, to make the state dove law
harmonic with the federal bird
laws.
Mr.. Smith poins out that the sale
of hunting licenses is increasing at
the rate OF 10000 a year as the result
OF education and game law enforce
ment. He is asking that larger ap-
preparations be made by the coming
general assembly from funds earned
by the department to the end that
its activities be increased and more
game and fish produced for food
consumption.

Usage and Grady Lead
The Usage County Livestock
Breeders association. through its
president, w. T. Leahy, and the
Grady County Livestock Breeders
and Seed Growers Association, in
the persons OF George X. Beeler
and II. X. Clark, the latter presi-
dent OF the county organization,
were among the first to champion
the campaign for the elimination
OF the scrub by statute. Other
counties have since fallen in line
and the sentiment throughout the
state is that the farmers shall be
afforded an opportunity to dispose
or their scrub bulls at a fair price
and enabled to buy pure-breds
without financial Inconvenience.
The plan is this: All owners Of
scrub bulls will be paid the differ
ence between the market price and
ten cents a pound by the state out
OF a special fund created for that
purpose, providing the money re-
celved for scrubs at ten cents a
pound is to be used toward the pur-
chase price of registered breeding
animals.
In addition to this, it is proposed
that, where necessary, money will
be loaned at a reasonable rate of in
terest to men who might be finan-
cially embarrassed by having to
pay cash in the difference between
the amount received for his scrub
and the purchase price OF a pure
bred bull.
That the state may we'll afford
to assist the farmers OF Oklahoma
to the extent planned is evidenced
by the fact OF a positive increase in
the quality and value OF cattle
which, it is conceded, will be oc-
casioned by replacing the scrub
bulls with pure-brcds. And this
increased value will bring greater
wealth for the individual farmer,
more money in his community and
greater wealth and prosperity to
the state.

Oklahoma City, Jan. S.-(Spe-

spair OF, as they thought, convert
ing him to their way of thinking
IN relation to the poorer breeding
stock, when suddenly he surprised
them by declaring that he had been
in sympathy with the movement
since its inception and volunteered
to aid in every way he could to
assist in putting over the necessary
legislation.
The following is the substance
OF complete statement OF adyo-
Gates OF swat the scrub
At last it seemed that there will
be enacted law that will be of
real and material benefit to the men
living on the farms of Oklahoma,
a law that will occasion greater
wealth for the individual who raises
livestock, to his community and to
the state, than any heretofore en-
acted.
For years there has been a strong
sentiment among the rural element

STATE UNIVERSITY
STARTS NEW TERM

Norman, Okla, Jan. S,-Recon-
structed from a war to a peace basis
the University Of Oklahoma last
weeks started the second quarter of
the l0lS-l9 school year, Enrolment
started Monday and class work
Tuesdat
The enrolment, as expected, will
be less than in the first quarter,
when popularity OF the S. A. T. c.
carried registration figures above the
$500 mark. The exact mark this
quarter is still uncertain as the tie
up OF railroads last week by the
storms delayed the arrival of many
students and they continue to en-
roll each day.
While numerous men just out OF
army camps are returning to the
university now, indications are that
a majority OF the old men will not
return until the third quarter this
year or next September. Many for
mer students who plan to re-enter
are still in the army and many 9TH
ers have business and personal af-
fairs, neglected while in service, to
arrange before they can return.
The law school has taken on new
lease of life. The enrolment l-eady
has far exceeded the total figure Of
last year and indications are that a
new mark will be set in that school
this quarter.
All forms OF college athletics will
be resumed at once, literary and
social societies will flourish once
more, fraternities and sororities are
re-establishing themselves in their
homes, used last quarter as barracks,

MAKING ENDS MEET.
Ragag RasE ZEE aa'
BY BIDDY BYE.

One of the most popular solutions
| offered for the problem of the high
/ cost of living, is the purchase of food
/ by the consumer direct from the pro-
Queer. and also the purchase Of food
/ in large quantities to obtain the bene-
fit of wholesale prices.
! Such direct from the farm mar
| keting is easier in small communities
! than in cities, but even in cities groups
| of from 5 to 20 families may effect
material saving in food costs by com
bining forces to purchase potatoes by
| the carload, eggs by the crate, butter
| by tubs, etc.
A special purchasing agent appoint
ed by such groups makes arrange
ments for the regular purchase of such
goods with nearby farmers, making
cash payment. shipping the food by
freight and dividing the cost equally
among the group. Where the expert
ment has been tried considerable saw
ing was made. The L. s. depart
ment of agriculture has issued two
bulletins helpful to neighborhood
groups interested in cooperative food
buying. They are Farmers Bulletin
7O3 Suggestions for Parcel Post Mar
keting'' and Farmers Bulletin 1TS.
Cooperative Organization Business
Methods" both to be had by writing
to the department of agriculture at
Washington. In purchasing by parcel
post food may be bought and trans
ported in large quantities, in packages
weighing 20 pounds in the first ana
second parcel post zone, and in fifty
pound packages from more distant
zones Express companies have also
made special concessions and offered
special service to individuals and
groups in such marketing and from
them and from the government every
food buyer may obtain information
and suggestions which will prove &C
tual money savers.
In cities the public market is I most
helpful factor in reducing the cost CT
living Market gardeners assemble
their farm products in permanent
buildings or stalls. or have a wagon
curb market at certain location
where the housewife may bargain for
fresh foods at prices which do not
include the upkeep and delivery costs
the retail merchant must add to his
charges War economies taught us
the waste and folly of pride which
forbade the carrying Of market bas-
ket and personal marketing.
But after we have done all in our
power to overcome the general and
local evils OF bad transportation and
distribution which add to the cost of
living. We can still more reduce 1t by
reforming our own food habits. We can
learn 10 simplify our tastes. We can
reduce the four-course meal to two,
without reducing its nourishment. We
can learn to make good cooking AMI
serving of simpler foods to take the
place of great variety and elaborate
menus We must learn to deny our
selves foods which attain a prohibitive
and exhorbitant price and substitute
cheaper foods of equal nourishment.
Also, as individuals, and as groups
and clubs, we should make a constant
and careful study of the causes OF
high food prices and for possible
means Of overcoming the causes and
remedying defects.
