SHOE MANUFACTURER
PREDICTS CATTLE FAMINE
J. Harry seIz 81 Chicago Says
United States Must Have
More Cattle at Once.

Considerable interest and alarm is mani
fest all through the United States over the
cattle situation. Those who have been
making study of this and are in posi-
tion to accurately forecast the condition
in this country take q very serious view
| Of the matter.
J. Harry Selz, president Of Selz, Schwab
4 Co., large shoe manufacturers of Chi
cago, who are probably among the largest
buyers and users of fine leather, in an in
terview yesterday stated that the short
age of cattle was the grestest menace this
country has to face. The real impor-
tance Of this" said Mr.. SEX, "can hardly
be perceived by the average person at the
present time, and they viii only realize
what it means with relation to the high
cost of living when it il too late to r.
iieve the situation and the mischief has
been done. Meat will be higher, and, Of
course. that affects the price of leather
and likewise the price Of shoes. If the
population continues to increase for the
next six years in the same proportion that
1t has in the last six years and the cattle
supply keeps on diminishing in the same
proportion, there will be only four head
Of cattle to every ten people. This is just
one-haf the number of cattle in proper
tion to the number Of people that there
were twelve years ago.
IF this question were thoroughly under
stood by the rural community and imme-
date action were taken towards more cat
tie raising, the situation would be some
what relieved. We are slaughtering our
cattle, and especially the calves, ruthlessly.
without giving any thought to the future.
Every farmer in this country ought to be
encouraged to double, treble or quadruple
his supply. In my opinion cattle raising
will not only prove profitable in the next
few years, but almost a nationwide neces-
sity. ! am speaking not only from the
hide end of it, but from the food supply.
IF the government would pay more
attention to the conservation of cattle
and lees in pickering about things that
don't concern them, it would be great
help to the country in the end. It may
sound foolish to some people if the gov
ernment would pay a bounty on every 1
head of cattle raised, but it would be bet !
ter expended than for a lot of public build
ngs in out-of-the-way places.
They talk about turning to South |
America for their supply and even Ar
yentina, when only a few short years
lgo the cry went out that America could
iced the world. South America cannot
'upply US with good cattle. They don't
AXE care of them down there. Argentina

;ries. The only other large cattle raie-

dent of the Louisville, American As
sociation, club, who threatened to
sue President Charles w. Murphy of
the Cubs, and expose" organized
baseball, after the national commits
sion decided a claim of $4,000 against
him, today made another threat of
exposure"
In a statement published in the
St. Louis Times, Grayson admits that
Murphy "farmed" players to Louis
vile, a practice for which the Cub
president was fined $500 a few days
ago. He cites as an instance the case
of Pitcher Kroh, who he says was
sent to Louisville by Murphy with
the explicit understanding that the
Chicago club should get the proceeds
if KrOh was sold.
Grayson also offers copy of his
agreement with Murphy, by which he
claimed $4,000 due from the Cub
president, and declares that if the
national commission does not grant
the claim he ewill bring civil suit and
tell some interesting things about or
ganized baseball.
