INTERESTED IN WEST.
Meat Supply Of the Future Must Como
From Intermountain Country.

Meat Supply Of the Future MUST Como
From Intermountain Country.
The great interest being taken BY
the cattle interests OF the country In
the coming National Western Stock
Show to be held In Denver during tho
week Of January S-15. is largely due
to the fact that the country is just
commencing to realize that the future
beef supply OF the country must como
from the West. The West has tho
only available pasture lands left In
the corn states of the Middle West.
where heretofore the bulk OF the beef
has been produced. the growing de-
mand for wheat and corn has resulted
In the breaking up Of thousands OF
acres of pasture lands and cropping
them to grain. On top or this the
great influx of settlers to the West
has almost driven the range cattle
man out OF the business and as result
the country is confronted by short
age OF cattle. The West must be en-
couraged to grow cattle and the Ma
tional Stock Show at Denver provides
the method of starting the work. Tho
National Record Associations OF the
four principal beef breeds. the Short
horn. Hereford. Aberdeen-Angus and
Galloway, have arranged to have
number OF their best and most repre-
sentative herds on exhibition at the
show and each OF the associations VIII
put up fifty head of bulls and heifers
selected by a committee from the lead
ing herds. These will be sold 1t pub
lie sale for whatever they will bring
to western breeders in order to intro
duce the pure blool into the western
country.
The new farmers coming into tho
West have not been taking hold of tho
live stock business for two reasons.
First, few OF them are financially able
to buy a foundation herd and many OF
them have no knowledge OF the busi-
ness. II is expected that plans will be
made to finance some OF the new
farmers who desire to start in cattle
growing. and educational work will be
conducted through the big show. Al
both the show and conventions In Dem
yer. the cattle supply will be the prin-
cipal subject discussed. A special
train load OF feeder buyers from tho
East are coming to the show for the
purpose OF purchasing the car loads OF
fine stock cattle that will be on exhi-
bition aud incidentally to show the
profit there is in the business.

The banana is to have n much wider
market than the United States affords.
II the growers OF the fruit in Central
America cooperate with the carriers
who are willing to take the fruit to
England. Fifteen steamers are ready
to enter the trade If the growers will
pledge fruit enough to keep them
busy. 1t is estimated that these
steamers will require deliveries OF be-
tween 1000 and 5000 tons of fruit per
month at the shipping docks in Cen.
tral America.

London.-By majority of 215 the
House of Commons Friday recorded
its claim to exclusive control of the
nations purse-a claim never before
challenged in modern times. The vote

Premier Asquith which declared that
the action OF the House of Lords, In
refusing to pass into law the financial
provisions made by the chamber for
the expenses Of the year. was a breach
of the constitution and usurpation
of the rights of the House of Com

MATTER OF CLOTHES.

Dress has a great deal to do with
the spirit and sentiment Of a person.
and he wants his dress to cultivate
the right spirit. He can raise or lower
himself according to the character Of
the clothes he wears. One feels the
effect OF his clothes. II he attends
some function in clothes not fitted to
the occasion he does not enjoy 1t.
Clothes seem to be very superficial
matter. but they enter very much into
character-making. Put hat on boy

rowdy-looking. and by some sort OF an
