MONEY? CONFIDENCE? HERE'S
BOTH!

When the War Finance corporation
put a few million dollars at the dis
posal of southern planters, cotton
came back with a bound. Prices
doubled.
The War Finance corporation has
now put billion within reach of agri-
culture. What's the stockman going
to do with his share?
Live stock markets are coming back.
Prices probably will not double
There's difference between cows and
cotton. But values on hoof are at
their extreme ebb. 1t would be a
phenomenon if they dropped further
when every sign points to an advance.
Inquiries have reached the Record
Stockman regarding the procedure to

corporations big loan fund.
Here's the process in brief:
1. Make application thru a live
stock loan organization or thru your
bank. C. Lee Wood, secretary, 31j
U. S. National Bank building. Denver
will supply application blanks for the
Colorado and Northern New Mexico
district. These forms also may be had
from local banks or they will be sent
direct from the War Finance corpora
ton at Washington, d. C.
2. These are filled out by n bank
or cattle loan association, and when
approved by the local committee, are
forwarded to Washington, again in
spected and if approved, the money is
telegraphed at once to the individual
borrower thru his bank or loan as
sociation.
3. Interest rates will not exceed 8
per cent The government charges 6
per cent, and the local bank or loan
agency thru which the money is OBJ
tanned may charge not to exceed 2
per cent more than the government
rate.
4. Loans are made for a period of

years.
5. Amount of advances is limited
to the aggregate of all outstanding ad-

WASHINGTON NEWS NOTES
White Hangs On.

Washington, Oct. 11.-(Special cor
respendence) )-Chairman White of the
Democratic National Committee an
nounces that he has no intention of
resigning, but will continue to direct
the activities of his party. He will
call a meeting in Washington in a
few weeks to discuss party policies. 1t
is indicated that the party will not be
idle during the armaments conference,
but will garner as much political cap
ital from the proceedings as they can.
The active opposition of Democrats in
the Senate to the ratification of the
treaties with Germany, Austria, and
Hungary was proof of the fact that
they will not allow the welfare of the
nation or of the world to stand in
the way of their party's prosperity.
If they can gain partisan advantage
by placing obstacles in the way of ac-
complishment by the armaments con-
ference, there is little doubt it will be
done.

Go and Get II.

The Chief of the Bureau of Foreign
and Domestic Commerce seeks to reas-
sure the country on the outlook TO,
foreign trade. He declares that the
pessimism that prevails is due in large
measure to alarmist reports that have
been sent out; that much of the ex-
port boom that followed the war was
due to war conditions and should not
be expected to continue; and that the
fundamentals of our foreign trade sit
uation are as sound as ever. He as
serts that the German competition
about which we hear so much should
not be taken too seriously, as he has
found that German products are usual
ly very inferior to our own.

Helping The Vets.

The Veterans Bureau has publish
ed some statistics that should bring
home to every soldier what the Gov
ernment is doing for the ex-service
men. In June, July, and August the
Government paid the veterans $685.

100000 was for insurance, S33 900 900
on account of compensation, and $780,
100000 for training allowances. The
Veterans Bureau mails 166, 900 insur-
ance checks each month, 6,655 checks
of total value of $4,000 going out
of the office each day. There are 207,-
900 compensation checks mailed every
month, or an average of 1924 checks
totaling s392,OOO each day. 1t should
be apparent to every one that the SOL
diers are no longer being neglected.

Japan Held Up To The Light.

The remarkable series of articles on

AS the hay fed has been made from

factory gains during the summer it
is at first hard to figure why such
poor results are secured during the

The trouble, however, is caused
by the different nutritive value of the

Therefore, for best results, some pro-

Protein in concentrated form is
generally most desirable. Cottonseed

tain excellent protein. They are us
ually fed at the rate of from one-half
to one and a half pounds per head,

nature, while cottonseed cake has the
opposite effect, and for this reason

What to Print.

/ This question is discussed by pres
ent day writer in the Saturday Even
ing Post of September IT, 1921, with
out answering the question, without
intimating what to print or what no,
to print. He is a product of modern
metropolitan journalism, where indi-
vidual personality, responsibility and
character have SO largely been dis
placed by a mere money making strug
gle for circulation. He virtually ad-
mits that the more details of sin, vice
and crime, private calumny and defam-

the more copies will be sold. That
is the first rule of metropolitan journ-
alism and explains why SO few big
newspapers have any influence.
admits that sensationalism, exploiting
fights, war and exaggeration, not to
mention falsehood, "do not seem quite
to harmonize with usual precepts. nor
do they inspire confidence in the edi-
tors influence" That explains why
the average big city daily has no in
fluence proportionate to its circula-
tion. The country weekly and small
town daily representing clean Ameri-
can family life and community stand
ards, keep the confidence of the peo-
pie, not so much because Of what they
print but on account of what they
don't print. He asks: "On what lines
of policy have our great newspapers
reached success ?" He admits their
"lines" are bad and declining influence
proves it.

Cattle Will Gain on Grass in Summer
But Fail to Show Gain When

A big problem of the Colorado range
man has been to keep up the normal
growth of his cattle while carrying
them through the winter. During the
summer the cattle generally make
good gains on grass alone, but when
they are fed hay through the winter
their growth apparently ceases and al

LICENSE FOR FISHERMEN
 DISCUSSED BY COMMITTEE

Two legislative matters which received attention in committee rooms Wednesday afternoon at Hartford were those relating to licenses for those who fish in the. fresh waters of the state and as to con trol and regulation of jitney buses. r.
 Before the fish and game committee resentatives of fishing and .sportsmen's clubs of the proposition to require a state license for those who would fish in the streams and rivers of. the state. The opposition was mainly on the ground that man who wants to go out On, an after noon off to catch a mess of fish, if he can. for meal ought not be required to take out license. rs-.z5
 The arguments for some one of several bills which call for a license as low as $i for resident, and much, higher for; a nonresident, were that the money would go into propagation Of fish. in protection of fish and in developing the capacity of lakes and ponds to hold fish. Superin- tendent Crampton of the fish and game commission said that few people realize that the inland waters of Connecticut i yield only Is per cent. of the fish they should; that Maine obtains one and a half millions in revenue for licenses, and that the state has never appropriat. .S enough money to increase the number ei fish available.
 1 It was claimed that with money avail. able there would be more fish to catch more people would want to go fishing and fishermen themselves would con. tribute to the propagation of fish.
