Good Feed Crop, Cattlemen
Reported Contented IN Texas

Fort Worth, Tex.-A. c. Williams.
assistant secretary of the Texas Cattle
Raisers Association, says that cattle
are in fine shape for the winter, and
that cattlemen are worrying very little
over the high price of cottonseed cake
and other feed, as the range is in bet
ter shap than 1t has been for years
and bumper feed crop was harvested.
The average cattleman, 1t is estimated,
will require only 80 per cent of the
normal supply of cottonseed cake or
meal
Shipment to market during the early
winter has been delayed by the short
age of cars. With an abundance of
feed on hand and prices at market
centers very unsatisfactory, most cat
tlemen will sell only the culls and
carry the others through until spring
in the hope of receiving better prices
Several thousand head of cattle
shipped to Texas ranges from the
drouth-stricken sections of Wyoming
and other states have gained flesh
rapidly since their arrival and will
finish the winter In splendid condj-
ton.
In spite of the drouth in certain
sections of Texas in 1878, the range
Is in better condition than it has been
for many years. New varieties of
grass have appeared in many places

7 GERMAN LINERS
TO GREAT BRITAIN
President Orders Ships Used
to Bring Back u. S. Troops .
Given to England.

washin ngton.-The controversy Do
tween the shipping board and British
officials over possession OF seven Ger.
man liners used to bring back Amers-
can troops, and now held idle in New
York harbor. ended abruptly Thursday
with the announcement that President
Wilson had ordered the vessels turned
over to Great Britain. The transfer
will b made without delay and the
ships assigned TO passenger service On
British lines.
The eighth ship Of the group, the
Impsrator, has already been turned
over to the British and is being ope-
rated by the Cunard Line.
The unexpected action of the ship
ping board last September in refusing
to deliver the Imperator to the British
was understood to be connected with
efforts to induce the return to the

st. Louis. Mo, Dec. 10.-The av-

This conclusion. the report ex-
plains, comedies with that of au-
thorities in other educational in
situations, as ascertained through
correspondence. The number Of
college students has been increas-
ing steadily the report states.
"If the present growth of num-
bers is indicative of what may be
expected in the near future" con-
tinues the report, the colleges will
have to watch carefully in order to
prevent turning out a lower type
of graduate than that which has
characterized colleges hitherto.
ut is only fair to say that, so
far as l can learn from the facul-
ty, it is thought that the work of
the student body has not this year
been as good as that of previous
years that contrary to the peoples
expectations that the young would
be more purposeful and earnest by
reason of war experience, they
seem to be less inclined to serious
labor, and that an unusual proper
ton of students had to be dropped
because of the inferior quality of
their work"

wears ago the proportional increase
by women in the college section
of the university was gaining no.
