SHORTAGE q ATTLESIs DUEToS

n The present shortage in cattle is
directly due, in the opinion of meat
sHholesa alers, to the wholesale market
ing Of calves for slaug ughter during the
past years. AT six principal live. stock
markets in this country, calves conss
prise ,16 per ceht Of the total cassae
receipts for the year 191 u. AT South
81. Paul alone was marketed last year
130, 700 calves, which was rs per cent
Of its total cattle receipts. AT this.
same market 11 $40 calves were re-
ceived during March of this year; 49,
900 in May. Eighty per cent Of more
ofsthese calVesssWere slaughtered and
sold for yea. The calves slaughtered
would average in weight $50 pounds.
There was then at South st. Paul
alone, for the year Of = 912, converted
into veal Il, ,592 800 pounds. These
same calves, df held one year and then
slaughte tered at 500 sounds each, would

Judiciary Evenina Session.

Two bills introduced to provide for the
supervision of the work of charity and
corrections in the state of Maine were
given hearing before the judiciary COM
mittee, Wednesday evening.
One measure, introduced by Rep. Hig-
gins of Brewer, seeks a board of three
members to serve without compensation
other than expenses. These expenses
with salary of the secretary and all 9TH
er money needed are not TO exceed 5000
annually One member of the board must
be a woman. The Other bill, introduced
by Senator Cole of York. provides for
one man to have full control of the work
at a salary of sS00e a year. Both bits
aim at inspection of the conditions of all
State institutions of charity and correc-
tions and the creation of system of
public charities and correctional institu-
tons.
Rep Higgins outlined the provisions of
his bill, a new draft of the one which has
been before the Legislature before. This
new draft reduces the number of mem
bers of the board from five. II has been
approved by the Board of Charities of
Bangor, and the Eastern Maine General
hospital and the Maine Medical Asso-
citation have passed resolutions of en-
dorsement.
Mr.. Higgins read a letter of enthusi-
astic endorsement OF the bill from Pres
ident Hyde of Bowdoin College and de-
clared the saving to the State from the
knowledge furnished by the board before
making appropriations in the Legislature
would save much more than the s6Ooo
specified. He further stated that 50
states have adopted such legislation and
have found it highly successful.
Senator Patten OF Hancock defined the
difference between the two bills and stat
ed his belief that, from evidence at hand,
no trouble would be experienced in secur-
ing able members TO serve without pay.
Hon. Robert T. Whitehouse Of Port
land said he firmly believed the commit
tee could do no more for the State of
Maine. now cropping in the dark on the
matter of appropriations than to favor

the Higgins bill. saying the Cole bill

visions OF other states He believed,
however. that board of FIVE might
prove more efficaeious in carrying out
the provisions of such law aud said ne
thought Mr.. Higgins would have no OBJ
lection.

Dangers of Missionaries.

The dangers to which our Alaska mis-
sionaries are exposed in their winter
journeyngs are brought wildly to mind
by the experience of Rev Percy Braugh-
ton. a missionary of the Anglican church
among the Eskimo of Baffin Land. Mr..
Braughton strayed from his guides while
on an expedition last March. In trying
to make his way back to the coast the
ice was broken up by a strong wind. He
jumped into the sea and succeeded in
reaching the shore. but with feet so badly
frozen from two nights spent in the open
that he had to crawl on his hands and
knees to a native village. where an i'll
advised native applied heat to the frozen
feet. The result was that he law for three
months in agony, his cook probably saw
ing his life by cutting off all the toes of
the right foot The mission ship arrived
in August and doctor on board per-
formed two more operations BY slow
and painful journey Mr.. Braughton
reached sydney, Nova Scotia, in Novem-
Der. After a visit to his native land he
hopes to be able to return to his lonely
and difficult post-Spirit of Missions.
