WILL RAISE LIVESTOCK.

The high price of beef is sttr acting
the attention of progressive farmers
who seek profitable returns from their
business. Advices from Chicago and
other market centers report a scarcity
OF supplies, and 1t Is believed these
conditions will obtain for several
years.
According to a press dispatch from
Lincoln, Neb., there is an organized
movement among the farmers of thai
locality to raise more livestock and a
similar program In Montana and

worthy OF consideration. The Lincoln
dispatch says:
To do their part in reducing the
high cost Of living 200 Nebraska farm
ers have pledged themselves to devote
their time, talents and energies to
the production of beef cattle in this
state and to follow the instructions OF
the university experiment station;
which has for several years made q
special study of raising cattle for
beef by what are believed to be the
best methods.
1.-THE fact that the popul alton OF the
country Is increasing At an average
rate of 20 per cent. while beef cattle
are decreasing I per cent, which
aroused the nation to q realization
that the high cost OF living can never
be lowered until this state OF aff airs 10
mended, and that the farmers are re.
sponsible, 10 just ss apparent as that
present conditions exist" said Dean
Burnett, addressing the farmers con.
vention At . beef feeders meeting,
held at the state university farm.
Dean Burnett produced figures to
show that Nebraska can raise beef at
. profit equsled by no other state in
the union, with the possible exception
of Ksnsss.

spted to the raising OF beef" be said.

years, 90 that now the demand IL
for higher beef. These days the
farmer might get almost a. high q
price for cattle IL to Is months old as
10 former years for 4.year-olds. This
Is in favor of the farmer. as the cattle
can be sold and raised much cheaper"
That the farmers can raise stock cat.

That is to say, the fiscal system OF
the government has undergone a com
plete reorganiza alton about every four
years and a half. Industry and bust
uess have hardly more than succeeded
in adjusting themselves to q Get of
conditions created by q given tariff
oct when they have been confronted
with the necessity of q adapting them
selves to an entirely new set of con.
aitions. There has not been q
national political campaign Ia the last
forty or forty.6ve years ia which the
tariff has not been q more or less vital
Issue. with the result that industrial
enterprise has Deer kept in a state OF
continuous uncertainty. What manu-
facturer or merchant can recall q
time when, a revision of the tariff
having just been completed, he has
been able to look forward with conf.
dent assurance to a prolonged period
of freedom from further tariff changes?
Will the new tariff bill change all
this? What reason is there for hop
ing that its passage will mark the
termin alton of the tariff agitation
which has kept industrial enterprise
on the anxious seat for half q
century?
The truth 10 that there ia no more
promise OF continuity ia the country's
tariff policy today than there was
upon the passage of the Psyne bill,
or any of its predecessors. And this,
be 1t said, is intended % no reflection
upon the intelligence displayed by
the party o In power in the shsp.
ing of the schedules which will soon

would be true of any tariff revision

In which it has been carried through

will come only when the country has

CONSTRUCTION OF JACkSoN'S
NEW WATER WORKS SYSTEM
WILL BE RUSHED.

Jackson, Miss, Aug. 1.-Work on the
construction of the filtration plant, ana
other new features of modern and
up to date water works system for
Jackson, that will insure pure. clear
water to replace the muddy fluid now
in use, will begin, it is believed, with
in the next sixty days, and rushed to
completion as rapidly as possible. All
plans have practically been accepted.
Walter G. Kirkpatrick, who, in con-
junction with NJ. L. Culley, drew the
plansc and specifications, will be here
within the next few days, coming from
birmingham, where he is city engineer,
TO settle with the city authorities the
question of compensation. Mr.. Culley,
before he became city engineer here,
was a partner of Mr.. Culley, and to-
gether they drew the plans, which
were approved by George Fuller,
lconsulting engineer of New York and
Europe.
As is well known the $4,000 bond
issue. part of which is to be used to
construct the water works and filtra-
ton plant, was sold few weeks ago
to We'll, Roth G. Company, of Cincin-
natl, at premium of $1,175. The
bonds run twenty years and draw IL
Der cent interest The bonds are now
being printed in Jackson in denomina
tions of 81 900 and $500
The final passage of the ordinance
for the sale of the bonds will take
place next Tuesday, and within two
weeks the money probably be received
by the city authorities.

looking forward with eager interest to
President Wilson's pronouncement of
policy as a further expression of his
attitude toward Central and South
American nations.
Just when the President will make

depend somewhat on the possible ad-
justment of the dispute by the factions
themselves in Mexico. The President
thinks the prospect of peace is grow

problem as by no means insoluble. He
conceives that the Mexicans them
selves may be able shortly to bring
about peace.

meet the approval of the Constitution
alists for provisional president, are
personal friends of President Huer-
ia, which fact has lent encouragement
here to the idea that peace plan is
not impossible.
Meanwhile it is more than likely that
the policy of President Wilson will be
to await developments in the southern
republic and refrain from offering me-
diation or other conciliatory sugges
tions until Mexicans themselves have
exhausted every resource to bring
about peace. 1t is not likely that Pres
ident Wilson will receive any envoys
