t Iowa leads all states in the total value
CT its live stock, while Texas ranks sec.
ond. The former has invested in live
stock 1922, ,S44 ,034, and the latter 1885,.

number of neat cattle, mules and goats,
but the average value of these and
other animals being less than in Iowa
the eminence in value rests with the
latter.
Mr.. John Cochran called at our office
Saturday and asked US to correct the
statement published the week before to
the effect that the parties who tried to

the boys did call early in the evening as
the family thought they heard some
one while Mr.. Cochran was at the barn
but they were gone before he came in.
The parties who tried to gain entrance
TO the house were there about III
o'clock, and Mr. Cochran thinks this
rather late hour for people to he going

was visited and three turkeys were
stolen, one of them fine gobbler which
he would not have taken $40 for.
