Ten thousand head of cattle were marketed at the stockyards in Okla-
homa City in three days last week* due to the drout.y condition in the
south and southwest pan of the sta:e that hundreds of head of she-stuff
was forced to the slaughter pens.
It was doubtless necessary that much of this stock be sold, but with
the outcome of the war, pe. aaps three or five years aw ay. depending very
largely ui>on how much food America can furnish her Allies, it becomes the
patriotic duty of every man to help conserve the breeding stock of the
country, even in the face of a temporary financial loss.
The Oklahoma State Council of Defense appeals to farmers as a duty
to their counO:y to help each other in a crisis like the present one. If
you must sell breeding stotA, attempt first to sell it to other fanners who
can keep it in the country The same applies to calves and ociier young
stock.

LESSONS OF THE WR \TTUk.
From the London Times.
There are three main
be drawn from the well-planned arx
disastrous air attack which took place
on tue English coast in the broad day-
light of Friday evening. All of them
have been m/ted in these columns
again and again, a. the result of less
formidable experiments in th«* pan If
we repeat them now, with the added
certainty of proof, it is from a pro-
found conviction that ther^ ar< al-
most unlimlud posHi: ilities in raids of
this character, that they can and will
be repeated on a scale amounting to
invasion, and that we ha v. by no
mean.s attained the limit of our re-
sources for dealing with them. TN*
first conclusion is that it is mere folly
to dismiss a visitation like Friday's
as a casual set of "frightfulness" \i
a flight of ••baby-killers." It is true
that the casualties were largely
of time? And is it certain that the
raiders, who were apparently seen by
the general public in mid-Kent, ought
not to hav< >een seen by trained ob-
server. at a still earlier stage in their
flight? No doubt there has been < n-
oiiclUKtonn to •Mertblc vwdinK up of the actual
orders to airmen on duty, but the
whole system of observation and com-
m>. tication is plainly In need of over-
hauling It Is work for young eyes,
not for the ordinarly run of coast-
guardsmen. Equally in need of over-
hauling is the childish and dangerous
rar-thod by which the news of an nt
like Friday's is conveyed to the publ.
All Meet-street knew the fact- tlr
same evening. A large part of t «
< ountry was full of the wildest ru- j
mors. Vet the newspapers of Satur 1
day morninu w«*r« compelled to ap- |
pear without a single line of infor- j
matlon ,tind even now there is a ridi- j
tulous ban on the name of the town
where the bulk of the casualties oc-
curred in the full light of day. Then
is no mystery about it in Germany.
Was ever anything better calculated to
breed panic and to discredit all official
