In No Danger.

1t is no secret that some of those who
have paid the biggest prices for pure
bred live stock in the west are in finan-
cial difficulties. They have loaded
up" with high priced animals and can
not sell except at a heavy sacrifice
They have tied up their capital and
more, too, in stock which they bought
at inflated prices. A pure bred animal
is the same as any other investment.
Its value must come at last to the basis
Of what 1t can pay its owner. On this
basis good many fancy bred animals
have sold too high in the past three
years. But there are few men who
have paid more than the animals were
worth because there are comparative
~ few live stock breeders who are not
conservative business men. The in
dustry is In no danger from such spec.
ulators. In fact. most stoclxmen err
on the other side and are not willing
to pay what a pure bred animal is
really worth to them. National Stock
