KANSAS COl4AENT
HIGH BEEF PRICES.


Nothing in the current market re-
ports or statistics from the depart
ment of commerce warrant mucn
hope of lowering of the price OF peer
within the next few months or years.
The fact is that the United States has
changed with startling suddenness
from a small beef exporting country
to very large beef importing coun-
try. A recent report shows tnat the
exports of beef and beef cattle have
fallen from $44.0O0.0OO value in the
eight months ended with August, l9O4'
to practically a single million of dol
lars in the corresponding months OF
1913, and that the imports of cattle
meantime increased from 1857 in the
eight months of 1904 to 3O4,105 in
the same period of 1913. AS to beef'
the importations in 1904 were insu1-
ficient to justify their statement
month by month, and the total value
of beef imported for consumption IN
the full fiscal year 1904 was but $14,-
922 while the single month of July,
1913, showed a total importation OF
642,394 pounds valued at $56,s93;
August, a total of 1,151,626 pounds
valued at SS9,2O4; and September
about an equal amount. Even the
value of the cattle exported is less
per head than in earlier years, de-
spite the general advance in prices
of beef meantime. This year the
average export price was s34 against
SOS for the year 1904. This, of course,
is due largely to the quality of the
cattle exported. The cattle imported
also show a falling off in values, but
of only about 20 per cent, due no
doubt to the fact that most of the
stock imported is young stuff intend
ed for feeding purposes. Imports of
beef have increased even, at a greater
rate than cattle, indicating that this
country is no longer able to supply its
own market. In view of this fact,
stockmen are not likely to suffer from
the importation of Argentine beef that
is expected under the new tariff

DANGER OF FIRE.
Why people should be willing to lose
their property and endanger their lives
by careless use of matches, is hard to
understand. Throwing down matches
which are not entirely extinguished
and leaving matches where children
can get them, is a constant source of
fire danger. Only a few days ago, u
Lyon county farmer lost his hard
earnings of years by allowing his chill
the barn and all the feed he had stored
to last year. His horses and farm
machinery were also burned. Then the
house and all its contents went the
same way. AS matter of course he
carried no insurance. And yet tnere
are parents who insist that boys will
be boys and must have their fun even
when it comes to burning up their

FROM OTHER PENS
PROGRESSIVE HAWAII.

Those who think of Hawaii in terms
of the motley population may be inn
pressed by the tone of it's recent civic
convention. 1t was, says the Honolulu
Star Bulletin, "a practical attempt to
reach the heart of municipal and ter
ritorial problems" Led by the boards
of trade, the delegates took action to-
ward better roads, the setting apart
of a Kilauea and Mauna Loa National
park, the building of new open air sta
lions for tubercular patients, and the
encouragement of agriculture. But if
the convention had an American spirit
of civic improvement, it had also an
American zeal for advertising and de-
velopment. There was a Hawaii Pro-
motion club, subsidized by the legisla-
ture, an 'Ad club" and similar bodies
to plan, first, to get tourists to the
islands, and, second, to keep them en-
tertained after they are here" The
spirit of the entertainment is implicit
in the sentiment: where but on
Oahu can you see a volcanic replica of
the cathedral at Milan, or in a days
journey travel through ninety miles of
scenery that varies from the rugged
ness of Switzerland to the simple
beauty of the Blue Grass state P" Note.
too, the hearty conviction that there
is no crop that responds more salts
factorily to cultivation than the tourist
crop" Visitors to the islands NAV
henceforth look for evidence of two
kinds of ogressiveness.-New York
