Cost Of Producing Beef

Washington, Dec. 29.-The decla-
ration that "the south for long per.
iod is to be the country's principal
source of cheap beef is made in a
statement submitted to the house
committee on agriculture by George
M. Rommell, chief of the animal hus.
bandry division of the department of
agriculture.
mo northern farmer or other
farmer" added Mr.. Rommell, "can
raise beef at less than five cents a
pound, but we have and are doing
that in Alabama. If the northern
feeder is raising beef right on his
farm he must get more than five
cents pound. If he is fattening it
is an open question how much it is
going to cost. Feeding is more or less
speculative. A northern feeder ex.
poets his profit to come not from the
added weight directly, but from the
increase in the value of the original
weight of his cattle"

Seventy Meet Death in Panic Caused
BY False Alarm

Calumet, Mich, Dec. 25.-On the
day set aside for rejoicing over the
birth of Christ, this city mourned it's
dead-72 victims of a false alarm of

necessary. Unlimited funds are as
sured.

their wives looked on, and scores of
children pressed eagerly toward the
stage to receive Christmas presents,
a man stuck his head in at the door
of the hall and yelled "fire."
The cry was taken up at once by
those in the hall. Every one started
for the doors. The weaker persons
were thrown to the floor, and those
behind tried to climb over the human
barrier.
In few minutes the panic was
stopped by the fact that the stairway
and other avenues of exit were block
ed so effectually that those within
could not get get out and those with.
out could not get in to aid the MAIN
ed and remove the dead.
The alarm was spread outside the
hall by few persons who had been
near the door and escaped unhurt.
A crowd soon assembled and the work
of clearing the doorway was began.

and the skunk is an inveterate enemy
of these" the statement declares.
