TO STAGE
BIG SHOW
Educational Film on at Sugg To-
day Showing Cattle Prog
ress; Smoker at McFar-
land Tonight.

The films of shorthorn cattle to be
shown at the Sugg theater this aft
ernoon and evening will afford an
excellent opportunity to everyone in
terested in the progress of the coun-
tvs live stock industry to become
familiar with the methods, practices
and herds Of the greatest Shorthorn
cattle breeders in America, and an
opportunity to view the scenes
grouped by the American Shorthorn
Breeders association, which are be,
coming famous throughout the
United States.
The reels will be shown for the
first time in the state as a courtesy
to the County Shorthorn Breeders
association, and promise to attract
visitors from many of the adjoining
counties
A mammoth meeting of breeders
will be held this evening at the Nc
Farland hotel, at which time it is
expected some Of the most promi
nent Shorthorn men in the state will
make addresses. J. Robert Gillian,
of swat the scrub bull'' fame, will
be among those who address the
gathering. He will be called upon
to explain the legislation by which
he expects to replace all scrub sires
in the state with registered bulls.
Thursday, at the Grady County
Shorthorn Breeders association sale,
the initiative in the matter Of pay
ing. owners of scrub bulls ten cents
a pound will be inaugurated by an
arrangement whereby owners of
scrubs will be allowed that sum on
the purchase price of any animal
they may buy in the sale.
1t is said that other counties will
follow this practice, in which event,
provided the proposed scrub bill law
is enacted, the number of scrubs to
be sold under the Gillian plan will
have appreciably deprecated.

OUTLOOK
FOR CROP
is BRIGHT
County Agent Sees Fine Pros
poets Ahead for Oats; Many
Mariners Busy Ground;
In Good Shape.

With every outlook pointing to
the largest acreage and the produc-
ton of an excellent quality of grain,
the planting of oats is now com
manding the attention of Grady
county farmers, was the statement
made yesterday afternoon by j. w.
Owens, county agent
Farmers of this county are
planting the best seed obtainable in
any section of the nation. l refer
to seed grown last year in eastern
Oklahoma, where oats that practi-
cally smashed all previous records
in quantity and quality" Mr.. Owens
said in commentinge on the outlook
for this crop in Grady.
Five carloads of seed oats, aggre-
eating 1850 bushels enough to
plant approximately 5000 acres,
were ordered from eastern Oklaho-
ma by Mr.. Owens, acting on the
request of Grady county farmers.
This will represent about one-half
Of the seed planted in the coun-
ty" the county agent declares.
"Thus my prediction will be that
approximately 10000 acres of this
grain will be planted in Grady
county soil this season"
Only a few farmers prepared their
oat area by fall plowing, is the be-
lief expressed by Mr.. Owens.
The 1919 oat crop IN this section
Of the state will be raised mostly
on the soil planted with corn, kafir
or cotton last year, and which has
been placed in excellent condition
for oat planting by use of the disc.
Present conditions of the soil
were never better for a large pro-
duction of high-standard oats. The
moisture of the ground is almost
100 pre- cent perfect for the growth
Oh the crop. only the most unexpect-
ed happenings, it seems to me, can
stop the county's oat crop which
has or is being planted at the pres
ent time" says Mr. Owens.
Virtually nothing is known of
the price oats will bring this year;
but the price has very little bear
ing on local farmers, who raise oats
almost exclusively fer early feeding
purposes"
Although almost every farmer in
Grady county plants some oats, the
most extensive oat region in the
county is east and north of Chick
asha, including the districts of
Tuttle, Amber, Minco and Poeasset.

FRENCH WAR SCARE

Omitted Press Staff Correspondent
PARIS. Feb. 12-Whether the OBJ
structionists will gain a temporary
victocry by blocking the final adop-
ton Of the League of Nations consti--
tuition prior to President Wilson's de-
parture for America, as we'll as fur
ther stirring up of Paris with war
scare, will be determined within the
next sc hours. The league commit
tee is scheduled to take final ac-
tion on the constitution tomorrow.
If the committee fails to reach
an agreement tomorrow ON amend
ments that are understood to have
been introduced by the French, the
submission of the constitution to the
congress this week is impossible.
The war scare has melted the
French people to demand the the oc-
cupation Of Essen and other mill
tary extensions to the original ar
mistice terms. Many declare tahr
Marshal Foch is overestimating
when he says that the Germans are
able to put an army OF 100000 in
the field in two months.
In addition it is known that food
and transport conditions would rem
der such an army impossible.

PARIS, Feb 12.-The delay in the
completion of the League of Nations
constitution may necessitate Presl-
dent Wilson's return to France imme-
diately after the adjournment of
congress, it was learned today.
He is so anxious to carry back to
America with him the finished draft
of the leagues constitution that his
departure from France has been
postponed from Friday to Sunday or
Mooday, which delay will result in
his reaching America about Febru-
airy 25th.
If the constitution of the League
of Nations is not submitted to the
fuH peace congress before the de-
parture of President Wilson from
France, however, he will start back
for France on March or 6. I'm
less a full agreement has been
reached by the league committee by
tomorrow, however, the submission
of the constitution to the plenary
session this week is out fthe ques-
tion. President Wilson had been se-
lected to read the draft of the con,
stitution to the full conference.

SCRUB ANIMAL NOW
Urges Raising Pure Bred Stock
Argentina Ships Much Meat
to America.

NEW ORLEANS, Feb. 12.-"If
United States is safely to retain
the agricultural leadership estab-
lished by war, we must improve
both the quality and the quantity
of live stock" said DR.. ]. r. Mkhler,
chief of the bureau of animal indus
try, United States department of
agriculture, in an address here to-
day to the Southern Cattlemens
association.
Failure to maintain our livestock
in proportion to our population
means dependence on other coun-
tries" said Dr. Mohler. ut means
dependence on them for meat, for
leather, and for animal fats. 1t
means dependence on them also for
fertilizers with which to maintain
crop Yields in the absence Of ma
nure 1t may even mean depend
ence on them for milk with which
to feed our children, as Europe late
ly has been depending ON the United
States for milk in condensed or
powdered form In other words, if
we fail to feed ourselves or to sat
isfy our home markets, someone
else will, and in fact is already do
ing so.
Meat Imported Last Year.
Imports of meats and meat prod
ucts by the United States in 1918
exceeded one hundred million
pounds. These were received prin
cipally from Argentina and Canada
A report lately received from the
American consul general at Buenos
Aires contains some Illuminating
public remarks by the manager of
an Argentine packing establishment
He stated that large quantities of
canned meats are now regularly
sent to the United States, the
great cattle country Of former years;
also that the United States can no
longer be regarded as a meat ex-
porting nation"
Discussing the rapid development
in artificial refrigeration and ocean
shipment of meat, DR.. Mohler said
that important changes involving
the meat industry are going on con
stantly and South America is pre-
pairing to feed nations that fail to
provide meat for themselves" Dis
cussing why, South American coun-
tries are able to produce meat so
cheaply enough to compete with the
homegrown products of other coun-
tries, he mentioned the systematic
upbuilding of South Amnican herds
to a superiority over even imported
strains, the extensive growing of al.
falfa, insuring an abundance of the
pasturage, and the fact that hte cat.
tie are in the open throughout the
year.
South Has Similar Conditions.
Those conditions are strikingly
similar to conditions here in the
southern part of the United States
said Dr. Mohler. 81 want to call
your attention especially to the i'm
portance of better types of livestock.

TRIO HURT IN FIGHT
AT CHURCH; OFFICER

mother, shot hrough the leg; Billy

injuio~ about the head from the eff

southeast Of Ninnekah.

Facts Are Tangled.
The facts connected with the af-
fair are a tangled mass and as yet
have not been clearly established. 1t
is known that some trouble had pre-
viously occurred at the meeting, and
that an appeal had been made to
Matt Sankey, Grady county sheriff,
to send an officer there to preserve
order. The sheriff sent Billy Brown,
deputy at Ninnekah, and authorized
him to deputize any other person he
needed. He selected his brother,
Bob Brown, to help him, and they
proceeded to the meeting.
According to the fragments of in
formation gathered at the sheriff's
office, but which in reality bear out
only one side of the case, the follow
ing is said to have occurred: A
Whitener boy and Phillips boy
started a fist fight Immediately the
deputy sheriff started to part them,
and in the mix-up, some one, sup
posed to have been Clarence Whit
ener the man who was shot, took a
hand with the result that the dep
