(By W. L. BLIZZARD, Department of Animal Husbandry, Oklahoma A. and M. College, Stillwater.) Beef cattle need not be stabled in a warm barn. They should be in the open as much as possible, around a straw stack or similar shelter. The properly fed beef animal cares little for any weather if kept dry and out of the wind. The best system of housing beef cattle is to give them shelter, dry beds, protection against cold, damp winds and with constant access to open air. The cattle which have an open shed to run under always have plenty of fresh air and light, and they also take more exercise. Cattle kept in the warm quarters are more liable to colds than those kept in sheds and are less rugged. On the other hand, if cattle are exposed to cold rains, snows and winds they are liable to colds, etc., in addition to requiring more feed for the upkeep of the body. SUIT INVOLVES LAND ON WHICH LEESBURG LIES Litigation involving the land upon which the town of Leesburg is located has involved several well-known citizens of this city and surrounding section, and W. P. Wallis, of Americus, has been named as auditor to pass upon certain phases of the matter. If the plaintiffs are successful in securing their claims to the property under dispute, about 2,000 acres of land, including the townsite upon which Leesburg is built, will pass from the hands of the present owners. The provisions of a will made some 60 years ago are made the basis of the litigation which may prove of great “moment to citizens of Leeshurg. The testament of the late Dudley Snead is introduced by the plaintiffs to uphold their claims, the testator having been the owner of the lands now in litigation. W. T. Cock, of Leslie, is claimed by the plaintiffs to be the only remaining heir to the Snead estate, receiving a half interest in the property as heir, after it has passed through several hands since the death of Dudley Snead. The suit is brought by W. T. Cock against Mrs. J. N. Calloway, et al., the other parties named as defendants being individuals who have purchased and are holding land affected by the terms of the Snead will. The various transactions that have occurred since the death of Dudley Snead, as regards the transfer of the land in question, and claimed by the plaintiffs to be illegal and void. The litigation promises to be bitterly fought through the courts of the state and a vast quantity of documentary evidence has been introduced by both sides in support of their contentions. The decision of W. P. Wallis as auditor will have a distinct effect on the claims of the plaintiff and his judgment upon certain phases of the case is anticipated with much interest. W. T. Lane and Shipp & Shepard, of Americus, with Ware G. Martin, of Leeshurg, appear for the plaintiff, while Wilkerson, & Yeomans of Dawson, represent the Defendants.—Times-Recorder.

By EN R R A (HERE ARE DROWNED BY A B R R A Lo IN FAYU MILL FURD The river was drowned at Haddock's mill near Pavo about 11 o'clock today. The victims were Frank Blanton, aged 24; Ida and Ballie Simmons, aged 15 and 11, respectively, daughters of William Bimmons; Pattie Hart, 12-year-old daughter of J. P. Hart, and Hazel Hart aged 11, daughter of Sam Hart, of Albany. They were all first cousins. Blanton was roaring a small boat taking the girls across the pond, when it was overturned and not one of the party could swim. Where the tragedy occurred water was about 10 feet deep. Vera Hart, an ocher daughter of J. P. Hart, managed to remain up until her brother, Aubrey, in another boat some distance away, could reach her and save her. After reaching short, Aubrey gave the alarm and within a short time the embankment of the other side were crowded with sorrowing friends and loved ones while the first men folks to arrive quickly set to work for the recovery of the bodies. This was effected before 2 o’clock, four of the bodies being found in one heap. Blanton leaves a wife and year old child. Probably one burial service will be held for all, it taking place at Salem Baptist church, 2 miles from Pavo, at 11 o’clock tomorrow. Savannah, Ga. March.—Eight tugboats, three auxiliary type cruiser yachts, and eleven motorboats operated by Savannah owners in the rivers along the coast, have been placed at the disposal of the United States Bureau of Navigation according to a statement made by Lieutenant Farmer Morrison of the Sixth Naval District, who has examined all these boats and forwarded to Washington a report concerning their fitness for use as patrols, submarine chasers and mine layers. A similar report has been sent to Admiral Beaty at Charleston and it is expected all the boats will be accepted in case of war. The American navy is said to have the finest marksmen in the world. We probably will know before very long just how far they can hit the periscope of a submarine. Albany Herald.

When calomine comes into contact with sour bile, it crashes into it, causing ramping and nausea. If you feel bilious, headachy, constipated, and all knocked out, just go to your druggist and get a 50-cent bottle of Dodson's Liver Tone, which is a harmless vegetable substitute for dangerous calomine. Take a spoonful and if it doesn't start your liver and straighten you up better and quicker than nasty calomine and without making you sick, you just go back and get your money. If you take calomine today, you'll be sick and nauseated tomorrow; besides, it may salivate you, while if you take Dodson's Liver Tone, you will wake up feeling great, full of ambition, and ready for work or play. It's harmless, pleasant, and safe to give to children; they like it.
