generally combined the commence

one Is keyed up to a high pitch OF
excitement over the many special

period of serious week. though Incl

in INSPECTIONS and official meetings.

INDIAN PONIES BEING
 SOLD AT PALTRY PRICES

POCATELLO, Idaho, Oct. 12 (by Associated Press).-Four hundred and eighty-five Indian ponies, rem nants of the once flourishing bands of tribal chargers of the Bannock Indians and a number of colts were brought to Pocatello recently and sold at $4 per head, the colts being thrown in for good measure
 Among the band were some ex- cellent Indian pintos and their sale marks the exit of the horse from the lives of the few remaining red men of the Bannock tribe, most of whom have adopted the automobile vehicle of the "pale face"
 Numbered among the ponies sold were some which once carried the most famous Bannock Indian war riors on their hunting trips and through their battles.

RED CROSS TO AID GERMANY
 IMPORT COWS

BERLIN, Oct. 12 (by Associated Press) The German department of agriculture and the German Red Cross are trying to help Americans who have offered to send 5000 COWS to Germany to obtain cargo space in vessels to send the cattle across the Atlantic. The Inter-Allied Mari time board announced that it was unable to supply the tonnage re- quired.
 The department of agriculture has sent an expert to the United States to find the ships needed to bring the COWS to Germany. Meantime the Red Cross has been trying to smooth away the difficulties here and ob- tain permission to receive the much desired animals. These obstacles are due to confusion of authority in the government regarding the issue of permits and inspection of the cattle when they arrive.
 The Red Cross officials estimate that the ocean freight will be ap- proximately $50 a head.
 While no restrictions are placed upon the breed of COWS needed, it is pointed out that Holsteins more readily acclimate themselves, as that is the predominant breed in Gar many.

BUY A LITTLE FARM

John Fields, editor of the Oklahoma
Farmer, has some pretty good advice
in the following:
KEEP IN MIND the fact that when
the census was taken in 1910, two
fifths of all the farms in Oklahoma
were of less that 100 acres and near
ly half af these were of less than SO
acres. This means that there were
about $4,000 farms of 40 acres apiece
and baout $4,000 farms of 80 acres
apiece.
'The de1usion that to get anywhere
a tenant farmer must buy at least 100
acres, has cost a lot of money. To
do that, 1t usually is necessary to as
sumo heavy burden of debt. The
period to maturity of a considerable
portion of this debt usually is short
and the interest rate Is high. One
bad season involves the buyer in SER
ious difficulties. Two years short crops
may put him entirely out of business
and wipe away his savings
Small farms are most numerous in
counties where tenant farmers are
greatest in number. Many tenants rent
small farms. why shouldn't they buy
small farms and establish themselves,
free of debt, on their own land?
Wouldn't that be safer than paying
down little toward the purchase
price of "A large farm and promising
to pay II lot more when ability to pay
at the time named is doubtful
There are difficulties in the way.
to be sure. But farmers and others
who own homes are those who have
overcome difficulties. The price. even
of a small home. is difficult to obtain.
But many who have never had 1T be-
fore have the price now. They may
have homes IL the desire for them is
greater than for other things of less
permanent value.
Landowners are not always willing
to sell small tracts. Many of them
grab and hold on and cannot be Jared
loose. But among them are many who
can be made to see that it will be
good business all round to have home
owners on small farms who will al
additional land.
"Those who are farmers, who own
no land and don't want to own any
shouldn't do quite SO much complain
ing after they have spent their money
for other things. They shouldn't eX-
pect the government to enact legisla-
tion to confer homes upon them. Ten
ant farmers who raise cotton i'm Okla
homa have, in the aggregate. received
several wads of money for the crop
of 1919. Many were burdened with
debts and will have but little left
Many others have money enough to buy
and pay for small farms. Some will
do SO and thus lay the foundation for
further good things for themselves and
heir families. Some will spend their
money for things they have always
