States is conceded by all we'll in
formed people. Free tariff will
not solve the question.
The United States has within
its boundaries less than one beef
steer to every two people, and
the percentage shortage is in
creasing daily with population.
Australian and Argentine
dressed beef may help out slight
ly but the only foreign country
which can import cattle on the
hoof is Mexico.
Therefore it must be through
some change in our system that
more beef and cheaper beef will
be secured, and the wasteful and
foolish methods permitted gene
rally add greatly to the cost.
The number of cattle can only
be increased by general breeding
on farms and ranches and con-
servation of all feed. and future
large cattle ranches in Mexico,
but the cost can be cut anytime
and that without injury to the
cattle grower.
Municipal abbattoirs will re-
medy many of the bad features
now, and will not only give bet
ter and cleaner meat but will
bring prices to a steadier and
lower level.
Municipal slaughter houses are
now established in Montgomery,
Alabama, Paris. Texas, North
Yakima, Washington and other
cities in the United States and
Canada, and in New Zealand
every city over 1000 population
is required to have
a municipal abbatoir.
We we'll know how the pack
ers work the market, and the
packers feeder works it until
every year each steer which goes
into the yards has upon it a bur-
den of Sc to SIG or more before
being killed. Both the consum-
er and the grower are the goats.
This is about how it works. The
feeder goes out contracts may
thousands and then raises the
last lot prices thereby raising all
his previous purchases. The
packer who furnishes the feeder
money or credit contracts from
the feeder. When the large pro-
ducers are contracted and all act
ual supply is pretty we'll cleaned
up the packer advances prices
on lot or two and makes the
market then go higher, and gets
on all his thousand contracted
a wholesale dressed beef price
equivalent to the highest price
paid. Finally the market breaks
and the game starts all over
again. Everyone know that
grass beef is bringing 6 cents
and Imperial finished beef about
z cents. and that dressed beef is
selling for 123 for steers.
Slaughtered in a municipal
slaughter house the steer will
bring about 81 to So for hide,
edible portions and by products,
and steers can be slaughtered and
delivered at LIS per head.
An example of packers greed
easy to figure is simply this. The
price of bull dressed No. is II
cents No. 2, 9 cents.
Therefore the dressed carcass
of a bull averaging 1400 pounds
live weight and dressing 55 per
cent. brings TO pounds of dres-
sed meat at II cents for No. 1,
$84. 70 plus So from hide and by
products, or a total of $92. 70
Now the cost of the best fed
No. 1 bull weighing 400 pounds
would be probably 500 and GER
tainly slaughter and all expense
paid not more than $40. The
packer is satisfied with a neat
little profit of $22. 70 per head or

Your Own Little Town.

The following, by contributor 70
an exchange, is worthy OF reproduc-
ton:
There are fancier towns than your
own little town. There are towns that
are bigger than this and the people
who live in the timer town all the city
excitement may miss. There are
things you can see in the Weather
town that you can't in the town that
Ia small, and yet-up and down-there
Is no other town like your own little
town after all. 1t may be the street
through the heart of your town isn't
long, isn't wide, isn't straight, but the
neighbors you know in your own little
town with a welcome your coming
await In the glittering streets OF the
glittering town with its palace and
pavement and wall, in the midst OF the
throng you will frequently long for
your own little town, after all. You
measure a town not by money or fh'
miles its borders extends. The best
things you can have, wherever the
town, are contentment, enjoyment and
friends. II you'll live and work and
trade in your town, in spite OF the
fact that it's small, you'll find that the
town-your own little towns the
best kind of town after all"

SENATOR JONES Us
THAT BIC PANIC

Senator Wesley l. Jones says he is
not SO cock sure about that panic be-
cause of reducing the tariff. He hopes
i. will come for the sake of his repu-
tation and the reputation of the rem
nants of the G. o. p, but, well, Il am
not prophecying," says Jones. What
puzzles Jones is that the people do
not seem TO take any stock in this
tommy rot" panic business by free
trade, etc. He can not fathom the in
difference of the farmer with this
threatened danger hanging over him.

On recommendation of the sp

On recommendation OF the spo-
kane County Game Warden, the
county commissioners over there
have set aside $500 of the game
fund for the preservation Of prairie
chickens nests, which are usually
destroyed on the ranches while the
ground is being cultivated.
The game warden recommended
that $40 be paid for each nest
which was protected by the ranch
ers. The commissioners decid-
ed that a reward of So would prove
effective. The resolution was a.
dopted with the provision that nc
more than 100 of the SO rewards be
distributed.
The rewards will be given for
nests which are protected from the
plows only, and all claiming the re-
ward must leave sufficient ground
surrounding the nest to amply pro-
tect the young birds. 1t was de-
cided that a similar reward should
be given to those protecting Hun
garian pheasants. The county
spent 5000 a few years ago in i'm
porting pheasants.

IN MINNESOTA CITY
Man Who Brought Suit
Against Clarence S. Funk
Will Have to Face Jury.

MINNEAPOLIS, Oct. John c. Hen
ming of Chicago was arrested here today
and is held as fugitive from Justice.
Henning sued Clarence S. Funk, then
general manager of the Internatio Har-
vester company, for $4,000 damages for
alleged alienation of the affections Of Mrs.
Henning. A jury in Chicago found for
Funk June 90, 1912, and he swore out a
warrant charging Henning with perjury.
Today's information Of Hennings where
abouts was the first since then.
Meanwhile Henning's attorney, Daniel
Donahue, and two of his witnesses were
indicted In Chicago on charges Of conspi-
rncy TO defame Funk's character.
1t Is claimed by Funk that Hennins' s
suit was inspired In revenge for the for
mer's testimony adverse to Senator Lori
mer before the senate investigation COM
mlttee Henning admitted his Identity
and is being held pending Instructions
from Chicago.
Henning was locked up In a cell in the
county jail tonight on a telegraph request
from Captain John Halpln, chief of the
Chicago detective bureau Chief Of Po-
lice Oscar Martinson was advised by wire
tonight that a requisition for Hennlng
would be secured and reach here probably
tomorrow
