BEEF SUPPLY In U. S.
STEADILY ON DECLINE
Shortage Shows in Lessened
Exports Last 8 Months
Compared With 1907.

The decrease in the meat sup
ply available for expectation is
sharply illustrated by the Febru-
ary export figures just compiled
by the statistical division of the
Bureau of Foreign and Domestic
Commerce. They show the num-
Der Of cattle exported in the
eight months ended with Febru-
ary, 1913, was 1866 head,
against 27O, 210 head in the cor
responding months of 1907, and
the quantity of fresh beef ex-
ported was but 4, 709, 047 pounds,
against It's, 806, 649 pounds in the
corresponding months of 1907.
That this shortage in the ex-
portations is due in part at least
to an actual reduction in the
number of cattle in the United
States is evidenced by the fact
that the total number of cattle
on farms according to figures on
the department of agriculture
was on January /, 1918, but &c.
527, 900, against 72,534,000 on
January l, 1907.
Still further evidence of the
demand in the United States for
an increase in it's cattle supply is
found in the figures of the de-
partment of commerce, which
show an enormous increase in the
importation of cattle, the number
imported into the United States
in the eight months ended with
February, 1918, being $4,000
head, against IL, 500 head in the
corresponding months of 1907.
The table which follows shows
for the years of 1907 and 1913,
the number and value of cattle
on farms in the United States,
the number and value of those
imported, the number and value
of those exported, and the guam

in a measure. verifies the report sent
out by Bob Edgren of New York.

sleuths ran the thing down and placed
Jeffries in possession of facts which
show he was drugged by man whom
he considered his closest friend. and
that other supposed cronies made

McCarey, Big Jim was so much under
the influence of some form of 'drowsy
syrup" when he was making his way

thither and bumped into the moving

on the dope story, suggesting that ev-

OLYMPIC FUND

London, Aug. 25.-The great Olympic

appeal for this amount. to provide
adequately for the British team at the

issued on August IT. 1t was signed
by Earl Grey, Lord Roberts. the Duke
of Westminster and many other prom

$4,000 was subscribed by Lord North
cliffe and $4,000 by the Duke of West
minister. Sir Thomas Upton and H.
G. Selfridge each contributed $500.
The project has met strong opposi-

On foot to approach this honorable

spend their Sundays profitably in
the open air of their own parks.
