CUT IN NUMBER
ON CATTLE ON
RANGES URGED

PHOENIX. Ariz., Jan. 8. up
Reduction of the numbers of cattle
and sheep now grazed on western
ranges was recommended to- the
American national livestock asso-
citation today by DR.. A. F.. Vass'
University of Wyoming, chairman
of the livestock and federal re-
source committee for IL western
states.
From 100000 to 100000 of the
25,000,000 sheep and 100000 of the
100000 cattle now grazed IN the
west must be eliminated If the
range is to be saved from disaS-
trous over grazing, DR.. VaSS told
the 1900 delegates from 10 states.
He recommended the largest prop
OPTIONAL decreases for Arizona and
New Mexico, which, he said, were
most severely damaged by over
grazing.
DR.. Vass reported that increases
could be handled in the corn
belt" and cotton belt" with New
England states stock totals re-
naming virtually unchanged.
He painted a graphic picture CT
the increase in stock, which, coup
pied with the 1884 drought, brought
on the wholesale slaughter pro-
gram and led to dangerous M
pairnent" of ranges. Both factors
combined to make the ratio OF feed
to stock one of the lowest in many
years, he said, urging stockmen
not to increase production during
years of coed pasturage, but to
conserve the pasture for use IN
lean years.
Work of the associations legiS-
lative and other COMMITTEES was
outlined in assignments made by
executive officers. Reports, how
ever, were not to be made until
Thursday.
The meeting laid plans to fight
proposed excise taxes on animal
fats and oils, and attcked dairy
interests" who we're charged with
seeking to drive butter substitutes
from the market. However, dele
gates indicated they favored a stiff
import tariff on foreign oils.
Further battles over adlniniStra-
ton of the Taylor grazing control
act were expected from committee
reports, which were expected tc
outline the associations stand IA
voring administration by commit
| tees of local Stockmen.
Increase in the length of forest
grazing leases may be allowed by
the United States forest service
soon, F. A. Silcox, chief forester
indicated today to the livestock
association.
Silcox announced meeting
would be held in Washington
probably during the latter part Of

POWER STATUS
SHOWS GAINS,
SAY OFFICIALS

Much satisfaction was expressed
by the Imperial Irrigation District
board of directors at their meeting
Tuesday over the action recently
taken by the county supervisor
relative to the power situation eX-
isting in the valley.
The county board, on Monday,
adopted a resolution demanding
that the state Railroad Commission
set aside its order permitting the
private power company serving
this county to make certain rural
extensions Of its local lines, chief
ly because such contemplated ex-
tensions are in direct opposition
to the power program of the Dist
trict which plans complete cleo
trification CT the rural areas Of
the county when the generation
and distribution of All American
canal power get under way.
In their resolution the super
visors asked further that should
this private power company again
make application for like extern
sions, a public hearing should be
held in the county SO that tax
payers, voters, farmers and land
owners might have an opportunity
to voice their opinions in the mat
ter.
With the complete distribution
of this All American canal power
kept under the direction of the
District, our rural identification
rogran will be carried cut to
the complete satisfaction OF all
ranchers in the District. This pro-
gram will bring them cheap power
for home and ranch use which
would not be possible were this
distribution taken care of by
private power company, proclaims
a statement issued by the District
hoard

a last effort today TO avert a ma

most serious since the disastrous
general strike of 1926.
Miners demand a wage increase

Concerning
Names and
The Prefix
BY EMILY POST.


DEAR MRS. POST: Will subject
~ myself to well-founded criticism
if I resume my maiden name after
my divorce-writing it identically as
I did before this unfortunate mar
riage? Would calling myself Miss"
again be sailing under false colors?
1 would like if possible to obliterate
my marriage as completely as possible,
provided I do not arouse merited CEN
sure. There are no children to pre-
vent such a procedure and the court
has granted me this right. but DO
not want to do anything that is con-
trary to best social tradition.
Answer-If you are an actreSs-or
a musician-it is correct to be Miss y
professionally, always. TN grand
opera, madame) But in private life
it would be a violation of propriety
to call yourself Miss Maidenname.
If you want to discard your husbands
name and go back to your own name.
which was, let us say, Mary Brown
Green" you may call yourself Mrs.
Brown Green. Your signature should
then be Mary Brown Green, exactly
the same as it was before your mar
riage. But If your name had been
Mary Alice Green, Mrs. Mary and Mrs.
Alice are both social tabus. There
fore, if your mother was Miss Alden
you would prefix Mrs. to that and be.
come Mrs. Alden Green.
