The Lords Prayer,

The question having arisen as to
whether the English version Of the
Lords Prayer is a true reproduction OF
the original as found in Matthew, a
native Greek scholar proceeds to an
1t. He deals with the petitions in
order, translates each word with all the
shades Of meaning Of the original and
then presents the whole in this form:
'Our Father which art in heaven, hal
lowed be thy name-thy dominion come
thy (hxed) purpose be done, RS in

FACTS O R KNOWING
For the Farmer and the Stock
man

Last fall we called our readers at
t%ention to the great disparity between
the price of hides and that OF cattle
As the difference is even greater this
year, We again call our readers atten-
ton to the subject.
BY looking over the market reports
OF the various wholesale slaughtering
centers, We observe that the value OF
common cattle called grass fed COWS is
So to 1915 per hundred pounds, an
average OF about 2t cents per
pound, which will net the shipper af-
ter freight is paid about 2 cents per
pound. Extra corn fed steers are
valued at $5 to S.; dressed veal calf
1915 to 1925, according to quality and
condition. Now compare these prices
with the prices oftheir hides and skins.
We observe in the late circular issued
by the Northwestern Hide & Fur Co.,
Minneapolis, Mimi, that ordinary
COW hides termed green hides mean
ing raw hides as they come off the
animal and marketed eitheAin a green
or frozen condition, are bringing lit
cents per pound for No. l; 103 cents
for No. 2; all pass as No. / il not
cut with holes or ill-shaped, or
otherwise damaged. Veal calf skins
bring IL cents; veal kip, IL cents.
Green, salt cured hides or calf skins
bring l cent per pound more AS
these are net leash prices and IS the
freight will range from 25 cents to IS
cents per hundred pounds according
to distance from 100 to 800 miles (the
average would be about ! cents per
pound, the average rawcow hide would
net the shipper 81 cents to III
cents per pound according to quality.
Veal calf skins give a net profit Of
124 cents; veal kip, liz cents: other
skins in proportion, or about five
times the price per pound that cattle
on foot will bring at home or by ship
ping.
1t is very evident that at present ex-
IRENE high prices of hides and skins,
the highest the world ever saw, and
the price of cattle as low as it ever
was, that it would be far better to kill
common cattle and eat or sell the beef
at home, and ship the hides and tallow
to market, as the hide and tallow will
bring about half as much as the entire
animal would.
While there is some difficulty about
shipping live stock, there is none in
shipping hides. All there is to do is
to address a tag and tie it to the hide
and send it by freight. Ofcourse it is
likely that with the advent of cold
freezing weather, hides will be some
lower owing to the greatly increased
receipts: but if they do decline ! CEN
per pound they will still be over four
times a high as cattle.

A Splendid Entertainment

Miss Elma Smith, the child imper-
senator, has given faithful service in
the ranks as reader with the Arion
Quartette, and with the Dunbars.
Now she is to have a well-deserved
reward, having been promoted this
season to head her own company, un-
der the affiliated management of the
Slayton and BrOckway Bureaus. A
few years ago Miss Smith quietly en-.
tered the lyceum in an obscure COM
pany under management of a new
Bureau. Her dainty personality,
winsome ways, and the superior-we
might almost say, unequaled-quality
OF her child impersonations, and inn
itation of bird notes and song soon
brought her into prominence that has
grown with each season, until now she
is SO we'll known that it is only fitting
that she should head the company of
competent artists that she does the
coming season.
