 The champion crowded full day $ labor into the morning session.
 Despite a hard morning, Jeff was not content to idle away the afternoon. He went out where laborers were dig ging to make swimming hole for him in the San Lorenzo river, and toiled away with pick and shovel most of the afternoon, greatly aiding the progress of the work

IF COUNTRY OUTGROW FOOD
 SUPPLY
Twelve Million More People Than Ten Years Ago
 Is Report

WASHINGTON, D. C., April 20.-- An increase of 12,000,000 in the pop ulation of the United States during the past ten years and decrease of about 5,000,000 in the number of available food animals is the estimate made by the bureau of statistics from reports on these two subjects made respective ly by the census bureau and the de- partment of agriculture.
 Another lesson in the law of supply and demand, deduced by the bureau of statistics, is that the supply of food animals has gone down per cent, while the value has increased 22 per cent. In the meantime the price of grains necessary for food for these animals has increased from 56 to 75 per cent. The value of cattle, sheep and hogs in this country in 1901 was estimated at $1 ,943, 100000; in 1910 at $2,36S 100000. This is an increase of 22 per cent.
 Cattle are the one class of food ami mals which has come anywhere near keeping pace with the growth in pop ulation. Cattle have increased in num- Der II per cent, while the population has increased 16 per cent. There were about 2.3 animals to each person in the country in 1901. In 1910 there are about 1.9.
 A pound of lard in 1901 was worth "A cents; in 1910 it is worth IS cents an increase of 143 per cent. This may be accounted for, in part at least, by the fact that there has been decrease of 16 per cent in the number of hogs in the United States.
