THERE IS PLENTY OF ROOM
FOR MORE LIVE STOCK
Only Nineteen Cattle To The
Square Mile In This
Country.

Statistics show that the world con-
tains about $50. 100000 head of cat
tie. Eliminating those countries
that count buffaloes as cattle, and
use their animals only for their milk
and for draft purposes, the count
would approximate 25,000,000
head. OF these, the United States
has 100000 animals from which
to obtain our beef, dairy products
and leather, 1t has been sometimes
thought there was little room for
any great expansion of livestock
raising in the United States.
But II the number of cattle to the
square mile in this country is COM
pared with some of the older coun-
tries, it will be seen that our land is
far from being crowded. AS the GEN.
sus of different countries relates to
different years. the comparison given
below cannot be exactly correct, but
it fairly illustrates the point:

CLEANER WELDED ON
SOUTH BY REPUBLICANS
Chop 70 Delegates From Roll OF
States Below Mason.
Dixon Line.

Washington, Dec. 1S.-After an
agitation extending over a long pc
riod of years the Republican Ma
tional Committee took formal action
this evening which will result in a
substantial decrease in the represen-
tation of Southern States at future
national conventions.
BY changing the basis of represen-
tation the committee reduced the
voting strength of the South to tri-
fie more than 16 per cent. Under
this plan the South will have only
1874 delegates in the 1916 conven-
tiOn as against 243 in the convention
of 1912.
1t has been computed that the
next convention will be comprised of
$50 voting delegates, of whom the
Northern States will furnish S12,
and Alaska and the District of Co.
lumbia 4.
Hawaii, Porto Rico and the Phil
ippines are allowed two delegates
each, but, like the delegates from
these islands to Congress, they are
deprived of vote.
Under the new apportionment
three Northern States also will lose
Observation-Disclosures, New York and
Pennsylvania. The losses for the
Southern States will be as follows
Alabama, 8; Arkansas, 3; Flori-
da, A; Georgia, 10; Kentucky, 1;
Louisiana, Z; Mississippi, 8; North
Carolina, 3; South Carolina, z; Ten
nessee, 3; Texas, Is, and Virginia,
8, making a total reduction of 70
from the Southern States.
Illinois loses two, New York four
and Pennsylvania one, inasmuch as
in that number of their respective
Congressional Districts the Repub-
lican vote in 1908 campaign fell be-
low 1900.
However, should the Republican
vote in any of all these districts
be $500 or more in the congression-
al campaign of next fall these losses
of delegate strength to the next Ma
tional Convention will be restored.

If the experience of these coun-
tries is worth anything, then there
is no ground for the feeling that as
population increases and the demand
for more food products from the soil
becomes more urgent, the live stock
must be crowded out. 1t is simply a
question of increased production, of
the limits of which we have not yet
reached even the outer fringe. These
countries all produce more to the
acre than we do, and no small share
of the credit is due to the large pro-
portion of cattle to fertilize the land.
In these countries, also, particu-
larly in the United Kingdom, great
err attention is being paid to the type
of cattle. Development of an early
maturing breed means economy of
feedstuffs. An animal that is ready
for market at two years takes less
feed than one that requires four
years to mature. Consequently, an
acre of land can be made to support
more beef.
There is no sense in saying that
the United States cannot raise the
beef and dairy products to feed it's
population. 1t can do it, and more,
too. and can supply a much larger
proportion of it's leather stock.
Whatever else it needs for this, it
certainly has the area But it needs
more expert livestock farmers

To the many local people who
have followed the recent startling
reports of strange cures that have
been brought about by the use of the
new Root Juice medicine, which has
created so much excitement in At
lanta and other places, the follow
ing descriptions of its remarkable
effect will be found most interesting.
Mr.. Albert Timlick, of Cantrall,
ILL.,, says regarding his experience:
my condition was such that | could
not keep down a glass of water. |
had suffered for two years and tried
many kinds of medicines without
benefit. I was almost dead one ev-
ening, when I sent for bottle of
the Root Juice and felt better as
soon as | had taken three or four
doses. | kept on using it and now |
can keep anything on my stomach.
Root Juice has done wonders for
me-"
Mr.. d. p. Kerr, of Bellfontaine,
o., tells the following story of his
experience: Il was the victim of Sc
we're stomach and kidney trouble
and grew weak, thin and nervous
from the long and continuous suffer-
ing. My stomach was sore and pain
full. Most of the time could not di-
gest my food. l would get up in the
morning with headache and so
weak l could scarcely dress myself.
1 frequently had bilious spells, coat
ed tongue, bad taste in my mouth
and smothering sensation. My kid
neys would act often but very scant

cines and treatment but could not
even get relief. When this new med
icine, Root Juice, became known
here, l was one of the first to get it.
Before long | noticed an improve

way. My appetite is good. | sleep
well, l eat what | want and digest
my food. The soreness has gone
from my stomach and my kidneys no
longer give me any trouble. l am
free from headaches, am gaining in
strength and have gained in weight"
Others who have used it for rheu-
matism say that its effect is mar
velous and that after taking 1t
short time the pain and soreness
vanish. The stiffness goes and the
swelling soon disappears, the joints
and limbs become timber and strong
and the general health improves.

AMERICAS FIRST BANK
DID 4 GOOD BUSINESS
Boston Institution That Issued
100000 in Scrip in
Year l7I4.

The first bank in America, locat-
ed On State street, Boston, loaned
money on real estate, Personal prop
erty and imperishable merchandise,
though 1t had not tie privilege of
issuing money, then a prerogativc of
the Bay State Colony. After few
wears Bostcn's first branch discon-
tinued business, and was started in
NH, ten years after the first news
paper was printed In Boston. The
new bank carried on business and is
sued 100000 in scrip on the basis
now sought by certain financial pro-
moters and leaders. 1t has scrip
and nothing but scrip, and conse-
auently the bank was short-lived.
In 1742 a land bank was founded
by several hundred subscribers who
gathered in Boston as the bankers
are meeting here to-day, and who at
tempted to relieve the scarcity of
specie by issuing scrip based on real
estate holdings. A specie bank was
also founded about the same time,
but both institutions found it as i'm
possible to compete with the bills
of credit" issued by nearly every
colony as Y would be to-day to rival
the Government in minting money.
All this paper money rapidly depre-
ciated in value, owing to the con-
slant and heavy expenditure for mil
itary movements Of ,pffense and de-
tense against Canadian French and
their Indian allies.
In 1882, during the Revolution,
the Bank of North American, of
Philadelphia, received a charter from
Congress, and its operations in the
Bay State inspired the establishment
of the Bank of Massachusetts,, in
March 1884, an institution which is
still in operation as the First Ma
tional Bank of Boston.-GNational

LIGHTNING FROM FOG BANK
Captain Of Pacific Coast Schooner
Tells of Strange Bombardment
of His Vessel.

Capt. A. Sunderberg Of the steam
schooner Wasp, which plies between
Seattle and California ports, reports a
strange experience at sea on August Z.
In a report made to the Hydro
graphic office Captain Sunderberg
says that at 10 p. NJ, when six miles
east by south of Point Conception,
his vessel ran into a thick fog bank
which hung close to the water.
Without the fog rising in the least,
a violent electric storm broke out, and
for one hour and IA minutes the blan-
ket of heavy mist was pierced contin-
ually by discharges Of atmospheric
electricity and vivid flashes of angular
zigzag and forked lightning. At 1915
a. m, August s, the steel foremost Of
the Wasp became charged with cleo
tricity from the top down to the spring
stay. Captain Sunderberg says this
was not the usual display of St. Elmo
fire, as the mast gave out loud reports
as If from a powerful wireless appara-
tus.
While the vessel was bombarded by
lightning which coursed down her
main mast, her officers and crew did
not venture on deck.
