Big Stock Show

Entries vastly exceeding in
number any list heretofore COM
piled indicate growing interest
in the international Live Stock
Exposition, which occurs this
year at Chicago, November 10Th
to December 9th. No such list
of exhibits has eyer before been
prepared, nor for that matter
have the live stock producers of
the North American continent
previously manifested such con-
Germ in the future of that indus
try. Every department of the
exposition,will be fall; interest
being manifested alike in horses,
cattle, hogs and sheep.
The spectacular side of the
exposition will be as prominent
as the practical. A series of
evening attractions of unique
character have been prepared
and there will be no lack of en-
tertainment to maintain the es-
sential equilibrium. Equipoise
has always been characteristic
of the international" and the
management intends to attain
the standard of perfection in ev-
cry department on this occasion.
Interest in the draft horse, in
stead of waning is growing and
the nightly horse fair will excel
even the superb equine display
of former years.
In swine and sheep the breed
ers of the United States and Can
ada promise to eclipse all previous
efforts. Wisconsin and Ontario,
as usual, will make a stellar dis
play, and the Western grower
will again demonstrate the merit
of range product.
Current and threatened beef
scarcity renders the fat cattle
display of more than usual inter-
est this year. That the beef in
dustry is coming back" will be
effectively demonstrated, and
feeders will be furnished with
numerous object lessons on the
subject of economy in production
In other words, the master feed
ers of the country will show and
tell how they do 1t.
If you miss the 1913 Internal.
ional Live Stock Exposition you
will be the loser.

Apropos of Ex-Governor
Hoch's refutation of the charge
which has4been made in certain
irresponsible quarters that Gov
ernor Hodges Board of Admin
istration is playing politics, a
few remarks from Burt Walker,
the Editor of The Osborn Farm
err, and Republican member of
the State Board of Irrigation,
may be in order. Mr.. Walker
has also made the discovery that
he is not getting political orders
form Gov. Hodges. He. says:
"This layman has now held
down Tor at least tried to] state
job for about seven months and
there are some things about it
we can't understand. In the
first place no orders have come
to him to do certain things. In
his work on his particular board
the question of his political brand
has never come up. There are
two other members on the same
board and if this layman had not
seen their political pedigrees in
cold black and white he would
not know to what particular par
ty they belonged. Politics, as
far as our official duties are con-
cerned, appear to have gone off
and crawled into a deep hole and
pulled the hole in for cover. It
is beginning to dawn on us that
possibly man may hold a politi-
cal job and at the same time be
asked to render nothing more
than what business common
sense he possesses and his abll-
ity to do a little real labor.

Governor Hodges statement
that 1.-THE administration is at

THAT is altogether the proper
position for a governor to take.
1t is creditable to Mr.. Hodges
that he has carried out his ideas
of looking after the states bust
ness as a businessman would
look after his own affairs. The
state institutions have had his
personal attention and he has
asked of his boards only that
they shall give good service at

/
| Washington, D. c., Nov. 12.-
| The national debts of the world
aggregate $42, 600, OOo, 600, having
Increased 20 per cent in the last
decade and doubled in the last
forty years. The interest and
annual charges amounted in 1914
to $1,732, zoe, 900, or an average
of slightly more than 4 per cent.
The figures. compiled by the
Bureau of Foreign and Domestic
Commerce, Department of Com
merce, for publication In the 1913
volume of the statistical abstract
include the indebtedness of every
country and colony of the world
for which figures are available
from official sources or accepted
authorities.
Virtually all the important
eountries show an increase in
1912, compared with 1902. In
the case of France the figures
for 1912 are 6,2S4 million, against
5,S57 million in 1902; Russia,
4,s53 million in 1913, against
3,4l4 million in 1908; Japan, l,242
million in 1913, against 262 million
in 1902; the German Empire,
1873 million in 1912, against 500
million in 1902; the German
States, 1886 million in 1912,
against 2,68S million in 1902;
British India, 1,475 million in
1912, against 1858 million in
1902; British India, l,475 million
in 1912, against 1903 million in
1902; Italy 2,707 million in 1912,
against 2,561 million in 1902, and
the United States, 1,028 million
in 1913, against 925 million in
1903. The United Kingdom
shows slight decrease, the fig
ures for 1913 being 1886 million
dollars, against 1885 million a
decade earlier.
The aggregate of national in
debtedness, including all coun-
ties for which data can be had,
was, in 1900, two and one-half
billion; 1850, eight and one-half
billion; 1900, thirty.one and one
fourth billion, and 1912, forty-two
billion dollars.
Interest rates vary greatly, the
stronger nations obtaining lower
rates, the average annual rate
for the United States ranging
from 2 to 4 per cent; the United
Kingdom, ~ to 2Al per cent;
Russia, from 3 to 6 per cent,
Japan, from to S per cent; the
German Empirer, 3 to 4 per
cent; China, 4 to s per cent;
Nicaragua, 6 per cent; Panama,
Z per cent; Ecuador, 4 to 10 per
cent, and Honduras, S to 10 per
cent. The United States are
one of the few nations which have
declined to sell their securities
at less than face value.
