Finally Won the Farmers
Pretty Daughter.
BY JUNE eAHAN.


Jonas. let's rest our backs a few
minutes" said farmer Jackson to his
hired man one fall day As they dug
potatoes IN the field.
Jonas Swift, the hired man, had
been working for farmer Jackson for
four years and more, and this was the
first time he had ever heard his boss
suggest a moments rest. He therefore
stood leaning on his hoe and his
mouth open, when the farmer con-
tinued:
Il have got that little bill made
out"
Bill? Bill?"
YES. Sit down. think you will
find 1t all right | don't s'pose you
can pay 1t all today, but I'm willin' to
give you time. You can pay 1t on the
installment plan, the way folks buy
things in the city"
But l don't owe you anything"
said Jones as he sat down.
oh, yes, you do, as l shall soon
show you. You came here to work
about four years ago, didn't your"
About that"
And three years ago you took
shine to my gal Sarah Jane?"
yves, fell In love with her"
but you haven't married her yet"
'Noap! When my Grandmother dies
I'm to have $500. and that's what I'm
waitin' for"
But I've nothin' to do with that.
Folks that are not ready to marry
shouldn't go and fall In love-"
But Sarah Jane is SO darned NICE"
pleaded Jonas
Sand that makes your debt all the
bigger. Jonas, up to and includin' last
night. you have set up and spanked
Sarah 9S4 nights. Is there any dis

"I guess not"
81 think it is worth SO per night to
spark good-looking girl. don't your"
Yes"
well, have figured it that way;
DS4 night at So per night is $2,952"
And I'm to pay it!" almost shout
ed Jonas.
That's only the first item. Courtin'

pie. shall put the value of these
things at $780,"
Lord save mel"
Before you began sparkin' you al
ways woke yourself up at o'clock in
the morning. Not once did have to
call you. After you lgot to sparkin' l
had to turn out of bed to call you, and
most every morning l had to threaten
to discharge you to get you out by 6.
l figure you have lost a thousand
hours and I've put 1t down at $100."
why, you never said anything be-
Nfore!" walled Jonas.
"Oh, was just waitin'. For the 9S4
times have got out of bed to call you

But for you Sarah would have been

man as his teeth began to chatter.

How much can you pay a week?"
"A dollar, mebbe."
well, I'll take that and won't ask
you to pay anything after you have
reached the age of ninety. No one
shall ever have cause to say that

'But about men Sarah getting mar
ried?" asked Jonas.

married with a debt of several thou
sand dollars hanging over you'll"

Who Makes the Money on High
 Beef

A yearling steer bought in IoII at S2o in the White Mountains was taken in July to the Flagstaff country. Run until the fall of 1912 or one year and 4 months on the fine mountain grass II IS turned at an average of 900 pounds and at price of SAYS, or about SAP. 75.
 As the buyer cut 50 per cent beef from the herd which he sold to packer at S5.5 the actual cost of the steer was less than s.. 50 per hundred.
 In this transaction the noun tain steer grower had a gross profit of S22.75 from which must be deducted to cover forest fees, running expense, tanking expense, death loss, interest and gathering expense, at least 7.75, and besides leaving many ungathered steers so that the profit of SIS per head, is all that can be figured even in good years without drouth. Then also the yearling steers advanced $5 per head in market price, in the interval. Now the buyer must ship the steer to the feed yard where it costs delivered S44.5o.
 After being fed to Feb. 27th or early March at cost of SIP in- cluding loss and all expense, the steer was sold at 7 cents to the packer, weighing HOO pounds and bringing 7 cents, or S77. The gross profit to the feeder was $32. 50 and the net profit S2o. 50.
 The steer cost the packer de- livered S7o and dressed out 56 per cent of dressed beef or 6I6 to- gether with hide, heart, tongue liver and other by-products. Pos sibly a total of $50.
 There is no space to figure, packers profits, as cattle, swine and sheep all yield their profits as well as by products, in the lard |, sausage, smoked meats, tannery, fertilizer etc.
 The retail butcher selling sir loin and poterhouse at 35, round at 25, trump at 20, roast at 30 plate and chuck at I24, flank at 25, suet at 10 shanks at , and neck at 10, will in their proper proportion at city prices realize SII5.8o for the 6I6 pounds of dressed beet. This would show a gross profit of S4I.88, the expense of rent, delivery, etc., as we'll as wages for the butcher must be deducted.
 A recapitulation would show several things. First the grower only turns once a year, the feeder twice year, the packer daily.
 A feeder, particularly a pack CTS feeder who always has his market ahead, can possibly make S4I per year on the S66. 50 he has kept invested.
 The packer who kills 200 cattle daily is not doing anything very unusual, so that even a SIo profit would mean S2ooo profit per day on cattle or S5 per head profit would mean SIooo profit per day.
 The butcher who averages with 2 men steers a day is doing a big business.

SIGN LAW TO BE Needed
BY REAL ESTATE BROKERS
District Commissioners Reach Agree
ment With District Operators
Association.

Enforcement of the new real estate
sign law which provides that not more
than three painted signs or advertise
ments shall be placed puon any parcel of
land abutting a street In the District, or
attached to the exterior Of any building
fronting thereon, may be brought about
without the Commissioners requiring the
payment of license fees.
1t was stated today that the District
heads have entered into an agreement
with the Real Estate Brokers' Associa-
ton whereby that organization will en-
deavor to see that the law is compiled
with by real estate brokers before May 10.
If the plan does not work successfully
the Commissioners, it is announced. then
will devise a method for the registering
Of each real estate sign. This will result
in the requirement of license fee of 81
for each advertisement placed on a piece
of property.
The committee of the association. which
conferred with the Commissioners con-
sists of William II. Saunders. president;
Herbert T. Shannon. secretary; James F..
Shea. B. F. Saul, William A. Hill and
Thomas Bradley
Several days ago the committee met
with the local government authorities
and the suggestion was made that it pre-
sent a plan by which the law might be
carried into effect without proving bur-
den to real estate dealers. The proposal
that the association be given an oppor-
tunity to send a circular letter to all IL
censed brokers in the District. explaining
the law and requesting that it be COM
plieu with, was presented to the Com
missioners by the committee yesterday.
The District heads decided to give the
plan a trial to May 10.
