Cotton, of here, the by meat division of the federal food adminis‘ tration and principal representative of the food administration at the convention. This message Washington the from headquarters was assembled delivered at Tuesday livestock men to of the country at their afternoon session at the Hotel Utah, just after the market committee of the organization had sub‘nitted ing the its annual report session urging convention to at the morn- the necessity for take some ‘action looking toward the securing of a change in the government’s meatless day program ‘by the substitution of porkless days for the present meatless Tuesdays. Mr. Cotton, speaking as head of the meat division of the food administration, stated that already the administration had announced its plan to lift the restriction upon beef on meatless days in the Pacific coast states, but he assured the convention that this is but a temporary holiday; that meatless day as first inaugurated will be maintained throughout the country and restored to its full extent in the Pacific coast states after the present congestion of beef at the country’s packing plants shall have been relieved. of Graz- Take Care of Your Horses! Nothing else will do as much to keep them in fine condition as Dr. David Roberts’ Lands. PHYSIC-BALL Exports of beef have been small compared with exports of pork, Mr. Cotton said, but this condition will soon be remedied and the outlet will largely, help the cattle situation. Prices he said, will not fall far below the present level.

Potter, professor of animal husbandry, of the Oregon Agricultural college in his speech on “Fattening Cattle on Hay.” Good results are obtained, however, Professor Potter said, in feeding the cattle on a mixture of alfalfa and corn silage. “Meat conservation is being carried to the extreme under government regulation, particularly as it affects beef,” said C. B. Irwin, one of the largest ecattlemen in Wyoming, ‘‘and with the present enormous supply of fresh beef stored pret in the packing houses it is a “crime to tell the people they should not eat beef in order to show their patriotism.” ‘ An anticipated resolution calling upon the federal food administration to alter its meatless day program by substituting porkless for meatless days, failed to make its appearance. Following the announcement made by Joseph P. Cotton, chief of the meat division of the food administration, Tuesday, that meatless day was a permanent institution, the proposed resolution asking‘a change in this program was buried in the resolutions committee and not permitted to reach the convention 0r. “We welcome the fact that we are sow under government regulation and mtrol; the actual facts will be known ad there will be no opportunity of any false information being given out proadeast,” declared Louis F. Swift, president of Swift & Co., packers of Chicago, in an address before the convention. Mr. Swift declared that the report to the effect that Swift & Co.’s profits for the past year amounted to 34 per cent on a capital of $100,000,000 was not a fair statement of facts. Mr. Swift submitted figures to the convention insupport of his argument that in reality the profits of the company were not more than 20 per cent on the capital and surplus used in the conduct of the business, hence the prof’ were not unreasonable as reports wvuu-u lead the’ public to believe.

Affirming its confidence in President Woodrow Wilson as commander .in chief of the United armies States, sentiment and for the and navy maker of the of allied public world, and. pledging the president the whole-hearted support-of the livestock men of the nation in any efforts or policies he may deem necessary to win this war, the American National Livestock associa- tion went\on record as approving the concentration of power by the government in the hands of efficient agencies for the purpose of developing and mobilizing the powers of the nation. The convention unanimously adopted a resolution authorizing. enlargement of its market eqmmittee ts a membership of seven and expanding its duties to inelude that of maintaining this special delegation: at the national capital for the purposes set forth. Patriotism was the predominant chord in the proceedings of the convention and was the keynote of every address delivered before the opening session. President L. T, Pryor sound- ed the tocsin of patriotic co-operation between the livestock men and the government in his annual address when he declared that the livestock men, as producers of that essential food product, meat, ask nothing of the government but a fair profit upon their product and that they be not expected to produce it at a loss. The president voiced the unanimous sentiment of the convention when he declared that the livestock men are ready and willing to do all in their power’ to meet the demand of: the government for in- creased production, and only ask that the government in return give them the ecnsideration necessary to encourage them in accomplishing this er tant end. In line with the attitude of the association to employ every means possible toward the conservation of meat, supply, the executive committee of the national organization, through President Pryor, wired -to Secretary David F. Houston of the department of agriculture, asking him to prevent the reopening of the Juarez packing plant at Juarez, Mexico. One of the effects of the war on the livestock industry is the stimulation of knitting.

The landscape artist and the scene painter now employ their several abilities in rendering death-dealing devices, trenches and vantage points secure from hostile observation. The concentrated ingenuity of man is daily emulating nature in concealing the true being of deadly weapons. “Camouflage,” as though we had discovered a new method of warfare, and had thus again proven the superiority of man! Mammoth steel monsters, sheathed in impregnable hides of steel, rush the foe over seemingly impassable barriers. These are the tanks which man has invented for the extermination of man. Indestructible moving garrisons, which house a score of armed men, passing over hills, ditches. and wire-entangling barricades. That the enemy may not observe the approach of this deadly machine, sealed with plates of heavy steel, the artist has been urged into the service to conceal the elipien ies sides of the tank. A pot of paint renders this ally almost invisible, as though we had found the invisible cap or coat of myths. The tanks are painted broken gray ‘and white, and from a hundred yards or so are indistinguishable from the terrain, Again the landscape artist employs his talents in No Man’s Land, placing a thicket over a trench, or concealing a howitzer behind a new-formed knoll of green turf. . a Long, gray files of armed men wave on wave, sweeping toward .a low hill and a thicket—suddenly the hill changes into a bristling fortification, mounted guns and howitzers belching death to thousands, and the thicket be- : a? ee * | 50 SIASLUIUING WORT, HUTATINGA THIG monsters, and the air by winged creatures.

But when he had finished, his opponent, being asked by the judge what he had to say, replied: “T will not trouble your lordship with any further argument. I only: wish to say that my friend has forgotten to inform your lordship that the case on which he relies has been taken on appeal to the house of lords and the decision absolutely reversed.” “Upon this the eminent K.
