BIG Demand for False Hair.

At the annual hair fair recently

was not an exceptional average. as
eight-tenths of the ton of hair. which
was the estimated weight of the whole
market, was priced at this figure.
There were bids of from f12 to Ella

Proof of Beef Cattle Shortage

All doubts about the beef cattle
shortage have been dispelled by the
census report that the decrease in
numbers in TIN last ten years has
been 6.S per cent. This announce
ment is very significant. This is
the greatest decrease recorded in
any class Olive stock. Horses,
mules and dairy cattle increased to
much greater extent than any
class of meat producing animals. In
fact, the census figures indicate a
decrease of about 2 per cent in
sheep, although an increase of pos
sibly 10 per cent may have been
made in hogs. We can not escape
the conclusion that the production
of meat producing animals, partic-
ularly beef cattle, has not kept pace
with other branches of The live
stock industry. When it is consid-
cred that the population of the
United States has increased II per
cent while the decrease in beef
production has taken place, it is ev-
ident that wide gap may develop
in the supply.
Not only have beef cattle de-
creased in numbers, but the aver
age age of marketing has been low
cred. So true is this that while
market prices have appreciated, the
farm value credited per head has
actually declined. The cleanup of
large herds, resulting in the mar
keting of thousands of immature
steers and females of all ages, has
been a factor in the decrease which
can not easily be replaced. The
expanded marketing of veal is an
other. The Pacific coast demand
for meat is drawing cattle that for
merly would have come eastward
to market. These factors have been
cited as indicating that we are liv.
ing on our capital, not on the in
crease Of it, in the beef industry.
With the decrease in American
beef production appearing as ;
grim reality, some consumers arc
urging the free admittance of beef
at the seaboard in the hope tha
South America may fill the gap il
our markets. Even if this should
come about it will not destroy oul
market for first class beef. Whatever
prime beef Americans eat for a lon!
time to come must be produced OIL

cheeks blushing from the humiliating
thought, how she had searched, east.

Gwendolyn could not solve the mys-

When Jim met Gwendolyn he tried
to embrace her in the most lover-like

BIG REUNION OF VETERANS
PLANNING FOR HOME COMING
JUBILEE IN 1918.
Subject Will Be Discussed At G. A. r.
Meeting This Year-Legs-
lature To Help.

Des Moines, May June, 1913,
will see monster encampment of all
civil war veterans who participated in
the war under Iowa colors at Des
Moines, if present plans of Des
Moines G. A. r. leaders and state Off
Gals do not go astray.
Committees have been appointed by
both local posts to do the preliminary
work necessary for the big home-cOm
ing and the original plan for having
a Homecoming for Iowa soldiers dur
ing the state fair this fall already has
been abandoned.
The plans for next years encamp-
ment will be formulated definitely at
department of the G. A. r. at Mason
City, June 13, IA and Is.
Des Moines will make a bid for the
1913 encampment of the Iowa depart
ment and the annual encampment will
be the basis for the reunion, according
to present plans. ~,
The cooperation of the commercial
organizations of Des Moines will be
asked to provide funds for the enter
tainment of the visiting veterans. 1t
is possible the next general assembly
will be asked to make an appropria-
tion for the event, if nothing occurs
at the encampment at Mason City
next month to block existing plans.
Some months ago Kansas regi-
ment made the suggestion to Gov. B.
F. Carroll that Iowa hold a reunion
for all of her troops. The suggestion
found favor with the governor and
Immediately became the talk of
Grand Army leaders in Des Moines.
Several objections have arisen against
the first plan, which was to have been
a homecoming during state fair week,
and it appears the thought of a re-
union in connection with the exposi-
ton has been definitely abandoned.
