falling markot, which no one <an
foretell with any degree of certain-

enough more In the spring to pay for
the winter feeding. Yet they have
been kept largely on feed for which
there la no other market.
Il.tulU of the text*.
Consequently, cattlemen ahould
know how much It coata to keep
stockera througfi the winter 011 va-
rious rations, how they loae or gain
weight, and how they gain through
the summer aa a result of the way
they have been wintered.
Being In a better position to car-
ry on feeding experiments to an-
swer thes.' questions than the cat-
tlemen, the bureau of nniinal indus-
try conducted a series of feeding
tests In Greenbrier county, West
Virginia. The eiperlmonts began
December 22. 1914, and covered a pe-
riod of four years, the results be-
ing now publlahed In department
bulletin 870.
Ill brief thirty yearling steers
were selected each year and divided
Into three lota of ten steera each.
When the lots were carefully equal-
ized the average weight of the ani-
mals was 663 pounds each. The
steers were on winter rations an
average of 130 days, and on pasture
an average of 168 days each year.
Keeping Steers Wlthont l.o s.
The tests proved that an average
daily ration of 19.8 pounds of silage.
6 pounds of mixed hay, and 25
pounds of whout straw during the
winter would maintain these steers
without loss of weight.
An average daily ration of 23.1
pounds of com silage, 4.9 pounds of
wheat straw, and 1 pound of cotton-
seed meal would give each steer on
average gain of 62 pounds.
A dally ration of 11.9 pounds of
mixed hay and 4.1 pounds of wheat
straw fed throughout the winter
will not keep the animal In good
condition. This rstlon was respon-
sible for a loss of 35 pounds per
steer. Corn Bliage gave better re-
sults than dry roughage alone, and
the steers that had silage as a part
of their winter ration made greater
total gains than those fed on bay
and straw.

CHICAGO. Dec. 111.—A rush of selling
orders t nutted sharp declines In grain
quotations today. Thnre was little buy-
ing pow'er. Selling of December w hUi
was especially heavy, The market*
had practically no support after the ex-
porters hud filled their orders, as theie
was little buying fur Investment pui-
po*en. Provisions also were lower.
DecemiH-r wheat, after opening down
l'sc at >166. declined another liic.
March opened off n'.c at fl.fi-. and lo*t
an additional 4c.
December corn was off 2c at the open-
ing, 72c. and dropped 2*c later May
corn, after opening down '4c at 76c.
One of the first things that we may
•xpect at the hands of the new re-
publican administration will be the
repeal of the excessive tax law
which haa been in operation during
the war. This will not come up dur-
ing the present short session as in
all probability the matter will have
much easier going when the newly
elected members, including a number
of old reactionaries, who have gone
back Into congress, are seated.
This will mean that bier busi-
ness which has been compelled
to share some of its enormous
war profits with the government
will have the bnrrirn removed so
that they maj be free to pocuet
the whole of their profits. The
burden will then settle down on
Ike common peeple whom, as
history *111 show, have always
borne the burdens of war taxes.
Some people may imagine that they
have been liquidating the war debt
in this country by the revenue on
cold drinks, tobacco and other lux-
uries. When they find that with all
our revenues from all sources will
little more toan pay the interest on
our indebtedness and current ex-
penses they will begin to wonder
how the war debt is to be paid.
Several of our public service cor-
porations are straining every bit of
energy in an effort to get an in-
crease in rates before everything
goes back to a pre-war level, when
they know they would be unable to
get such increases. It would seem
now that everything is going down,
that it would be a short sitrhted
policy for these rate hikes 10 be
granted as everyone will remember
the almost impossible task of lower-
ing rates once they are raised.
The war department will call for
bids for 300 new airplanes costing
(0,000,000. If the reports in the
press were true, we will remember
that the government disposed of a
lot of airplanes to the Wright in-
terests at about one-tenth of the ori-
ginal cost. It will also be remem-
bered that a quantity of machines
were set fire to and burned in
France.
The Beatrice Creamery company
which operates about 125 receiving
Stations in Oklahoma, manufacture

Oklahoma Solons to Get
Measure Calling for Rigid
Control.
• A boxing bill has boen prepared
by the American Legion to bo pre-
sented to the Oklahoma legislature
next month.
The bill calls for license to be
issued to all persons connected with
boxing, from the promoter to the
seconds, and in the event of rule
breaking, the revocation of license
or suspension from the game is pro-
vided.
Some of the important features of
tho bill are: Contestants must box
before receiving pay; bouts are lim-
ited to fifteen rounds; the question
of whether the referee or a board of
judges will give decisions, is left for
the commission to decide; matches
to bo controled by a commission ap-
pointed by the legislature; no one
under 10 years of age will be per-
mitted to engage in professional
bouts; weights, classes, rules and
regulations will be the same as those
adopted by the Army, Navy and
Civilian board of boxing control and
the International Sporting club of
New York. "N
The profit from boxing matches
will go to the proposed hospital for
ex-service soldiers, and in the event
none is established, will be used for
the relief of other ex-service men.
Careful estimates of the probable
gate receipts for the first year, de-
rived from last year, was placed at
$750,000, making the 5 per cent due
the state, total $35,000.
HY ED HUGHES
There is a common belief that the
career of a fighter Is a short lived
one. The wear and tear of battle
occasions a quick physical decay,
Uj said, which is seldom found in
any other aphero of sport. While in
the main this is an nccurato judg-
ment, there have been and are now,
some notable exceptions to the rule
-awarding a fighter's length of serv-
ice between tho ropes.
The average fighter enjoys about
five years of top-notch form. After
that ho slowly, sometimes rapidly,
lotorlorates. The drop to oblivion
is rapid after that. For all that
there are scoren of Instances of
fighters who have boen formidable
foenian after ten and twelve years
of fisticuffing. The modern fighter,
due to one reason or another, does
not retain his form for the long
period that many of the great old-
timers did.
Old Jack SullUan Still Fights.
Many people 6eem to think that
Jack Britton is the real veteran of
tho present day performers. Yet
such is not the case. We learned
the other day that old Jack "Twin"
Sullivan is still fighting around Buf-
alo.
Tho case of Sulivan is truly extra-
ordinary. Sulllvun is serving his
twohty-socond year in the ring and
is still outwitting his man, 'tis said.
Sullivan started boxing in 18!>8. He
met the best light heavies of his day
and once gave Stnnley Ketchel a
groat battle. When Twin started box-
ing, Fitzslmnions was the heavy-
weight champion. Kid Lavinge, the
lightweight champion, and George
Dixon, "Lil* Chocolate," the feather-
weight king.
All arc now dead and gone, but
Sullivan still continues to ply his
strenuous trade. The "Twin" is 42
years old nnd bald. But ho still
retains his marvelous defensive clev-
erness In fdur and six-round settos.
Sam Langford has been at it 18
years and is 35 years old. Even now
he picks up a bout occasionally, but
of course is a mere shadow of his
once great self. Ho started fighting
in 1902 about the time Young Cor-
bett first whipped Terry McGovern.

Corn whisky is getting more
plentiful In Oklahoma City or the
rum hounds are losing their ap-
petites.
This is the conclusion of a local
clerk who used to sell perfumes and
patent medicines to appease their
cravings. Alcoholic perfumes and
rheumatism remedies that jumped In
sales with the adoption of the Vol-
stead law last year have dropped
back to normal, he said.
"The drinkers never were satisfied
with any one substitute for the de-
parted beverages." he said, "but
switched from one to another con-
stantly in efforts to find something
to fill the bill."

LONDON, Dec. 11.—British ring
followers changed two big ideas to-
day. They decided Joe Beckett,
their former heavyweight idol, is a

Georges Carpentier is not a super-

that he would whip Dempsey in their
battle next year.
GIPP RESTING WELL,
BLOOD TEST PUT OFF
SOUTH BEND. Ind., Dec. 10.—
George Gipp, Notre Dame football
star, was reported resting easy early
today. Hospital authorities, however,
were reticent concerning his chances
of recovery.
Although blood tests have been
made of several who volunteered to
submit to an operation should the
doctors decide on blood transfusion,
the doctors stated that the famous
athlete was too weak to stand the
operation at present.

Suit was filed Friday in district
court by County Commissionera B. W.
Black, J. M. Abernathy and P. M.

selves as county commissioners for
$700 each.

brought by the commissioners in
order to secure money due them,
there being no funds in the county
treasury tor paying such salaries.
CHICKASHA, Dec. 11.—Following
an embargo which lasted two
months, the compress here is again
receiving cotton. Only a small
amount of cotton has been received
since the middle of October, when
the compress was taxed to Its ca-
pacity. According to L. Perry, man-
ager of the compress, these condi-
tions have been caused as the result
of market conditions. Little cotton
has been shipped out of the city, he
said.
It is the belief of the county agri-
cultural agents that only three-
fourths of the county's cotton crop
has been harvested and Is now in
bale. A. F. Houston, one of the
agents, expressed the belief that the
bulk of the cotton now in the fields
will never be harvested.

" INDICT PACIFIC LEAGUERS.
LOS ANGELES, Dec. 11.—Three
Pacific Coast league baseball play-
ers and one alleged gambler were
under indictment here today on
charges of criminal conspiracy to

baseman for the Vernon club; H. V.
Maggart and W. G. Humler. both
former Salt Lake outfielders, and
Nathan Redmond, alleged gambler of
Seattle.
NEW YORK, Dec. 11. (By IT. P.)—
Restoration of the draft, an economi-
cal means of getting young blood
into the major league veins, will be
advocated here today when the dele-
gations of the majors and minors get
together.
The session is slated as a confer-
ence on a new national agreement
to succeed the one that was discard-
ed some time ago but it will also
act as the coronation of Judge K. M.
Landis, tho new dictator of baseball.
Garry Herrmann, who once held
the position that has been enlarged
by Landis and who also opened the
old national agreement, is here with
his copy of tho agreement that is
said to put the minors on a 50-50
footing with the big time fellows.
A little matter of a hundred per
cent increase in the price of "ivory"
on the foot is thought to be the price
bait that the majors will dangle be-
fore the little fellows.
The draft price of the old defunct
national agreement was $2,500. The
majors, it is said, are now ready to
increase the rate per bead to $5,000.
The American association and the
International league may bulk at
the proposition to get back to the
draft plan. They are about half the
works of the minors and their atti-
tude is causing the magnates of the
big time circuit most concern.
Raising ball players has become a
very profitable pastime since the
draft ceased to allow the majors a
fall harvest at bargain rates and it
may take a lot of convincing talk
about necessities in the baseball
crisis to get the minors back to an
agreement restoring the draft.
GIANTS' PRIZE PICK
GOES ON SECOND BASE
NEW YORK, Dec. 11— Ooldle Rapp,
the prize pick of the Giants from
the American association, will be
started at second base next season,
with Frank Frlsch, tho "Fordluim
flash," remaining at third base, Man-
ager McGraw said on his return to-
day. Giants are to train again in
San Antonio but for a shorter period
than usual. The squad will assemble
the first week in March but Hughie
Jennings will take the pitchers to
Hot Springs two weeks ahead for
preliminary work.
