IMPROVE ALL LIVE STOCK
United States Department Of Agricul-
ture Announces Campaign to Elm.
mate Scrub Sires From
Breeding.

Washington, d C.-"Better Sires-
Better Stock"
This is the slogan of national bat
ter livestock crusade, to get actively
in motion October l, that is announced
by the United States Department of
Agriculture, working in cooperation
with the State agricultural colleges
and other agencies interested In live
stock Improvement. The campaign
looks forward to the future food needs
of this country's increasing population
and results from long and careful OBJ
servation of the livestock industry in
this country, and was planned after
extensive consultation with specialists
and breeders. The plan is to hasten
the replacement Of the multitude of
scrub domestic animals in the United
States with pure-bred or high-grade
stock, and also to improve the quality
of pure breds themselves. The goal
in view is greater efficiency in pro-
duction,
The campaign will be the first or
ganized crusade in large country to
improve all live stock simultaneously.
1t will interfere in no way with any
work in livestock improvement now
being conducted, but makes all the
work more definite and effective by
providing official recognition for pro-
gressive breeders.
The campaign will be supervised
from the Department of Agriculture in
Washington, and in each States agri-
cultural college. County agents and
other field workers of the Department
of Agriculture and of the State col
leges will handle the campaign local
| ly. Every livestock owner actively
cooperating and keeping and using
none but pure-bred sires of good quail
ity will be given an emblem as an Of
fetal recognition of meritorious effort.

ALLEGED WASTE OF
FOODSTUFFS TO Be
INVESTIGATED
t. ID. Slattery, District U. 3. Attorney,
VIII Report Alleged Wilful Waste
Of Food to Washington-ln-
vestigation May Follow.

Thomas d. Slattery, U. s. District
Attorney of Covington, will report the
alleged wasting of foodstuffs by dump
ing it into the Licking river near De-
courcey to government officials at
Washington and ask for Instructions
II the Washington officials consider
the incident of sufficient moment to
require investigation such orders Will
be issued.
Mr.. Slattery said Friday night that
such action would be as far as he
could go in the matter unless he re-
ceives further instructions from
washington.
Reports received by Mr.. Slattery
said that a large quantity of fruit and
. other food was switched through the
railroad yards at Decoursey until 1t
became rotten and then was thrown
into the river. According to the re-
mort there were eleven carloads OF
peaches and a carload of watermelons
which were jostled about the railroad
yards until they decayed The carload
of watermelons was in the yards for
more than a week, the report stated.
Because the watermelons presum-
ably had reached such stage as to be
unfit for further use they are said to
have been dumped into the river. Peo-
pie living at Latonia and neighboring
localities declare they found scores OF
good melons in the lot.
Railroad employees admit that some
food was dumped into the river, but
refuse to tell the details of the af-
fcir.
Citizens living near the locality
where the food wastage is alleged to
have occurred, reported also that this
is not the only instance of wastage.
Such a practice Of dumping food into
the river occurs from time to time,
they said.
Whether or not the Federal Grand
Jury will be called upon to investigate
this report when 1t convenes this fall
is not known. The grand jury's ac-
tons in the matter will be governed
principally by the attitude taken by
officials at Washington, following the
receipts of Mr.. Slattery's report of the
affair.
Mr.. Slattery said that he believed the
alleged offense was covered by the act
passed during the war which made II
unlawful waste food or to permit ii
to be wasted. This law, of course, was
passed at that time, he said, to pre-
vent food wastage during the period OF
the war, when food meant so much
but he pointed out that the law never
had been repealed, and consequently
he believed it covered the wastage
which had been reported to him.
Officials of the railroad company are
said to have explained their innocence
in the matter by stating that the ship
per of the food ordered 1t disposed OF

JOURNAL OF
AMERICAN SPORTS

In addition to getting out the var
ious guides and numerous books of in
struction on various athletic accom-
plishments, the American Sports Pub
fishing Company has printed neat
32-page magazine. devoted to base ball
which is a novel and ambitious pre-
sentation of fiction and instructive in
formation, interpersed with advertis-
ing, which, however, does not over
shadow the leading features. The front
page, in two colors, reproduces
painting by Leslie Thrasher, entitled,
"Choosin' Up, and is lifelike in its
faithful representation of the familiar
methods employed by boys when Sc
lecting sides. The fiction is on early
story of the late Charles e. Van Loan,
entitled, "They Seldom Come Back, in
which is related the experiences of
some old ball players who had met
quite accidentally at summer hotel
and who were inveigled by that latent
love for the national game which is
in us all to essay match with the
hotel team, the members of which had
been recruited from college ranks;
Walter Camp, who shone at Yale as a
base ball player as well as in foot
ball, recounts several incidents of Yale
team victories in which he took part;
Jim Sullivan's Dope" by w. G. Shep-
herd. which originally appeared in Ev-
erybodys Magazine, is reprinted;
Walter Trumbull contributes a poem
on "War and Peace; Grantland Rice,
chapter on How Base Ball Helped
Beat the Boche"; a chapter on "The
Art of Pitching" by John B. Foster,
editor of the Spalding Guide; Ernest
Lanigan tells "How a Big League
Keeps Its Records; Billy Evans
writes some Don't" for amateurs, and
there are instructive chapters on how
to lay out a schedule, how base ball
is m lie, how bat is made, and sever
al other subjects of interest. The
