1t is because they have been trained
from infancy to travel on skis over
their snow-clad mountains that Nor
wegians are so peculiarly well fitted
for Arctic exploration, and the use Of
the ski by Captain Amundsen's party
was an important factor in the sue
cessful termination of the expedition
which resulted in placing the NorWe-
gian flag at the South Pole. The skis,
long. graceful strips of light wood, al
ford means of traversing snow-coy-
cred areas with ease. An ordinary ski
runner is expected to maintain
speed of 5 or 8 miles an hour for long
periods. The longest race on SKIS,
the distance being nearly liO miles
was run in less than % hours, rests
included A race in Christiania, won
by peasant in less than hours, COW
cred so miles, and was laid out over
hilly ground with all sorts of diftcul-
ties designed to test the skill and en-
durance of competitors. An expert ski
runner is able to take flying leaps
with the greatest ease, and annual
tournaments are arranged in which
proficiency in jumping is demanded.
But skis are by no means
simply implements of sport. They are
an indispensable means Of locomotion,
and the inhabitants of Norway look up
on the ski as the rider looks upon his
horse. The schools, the post office and
the traveller depend upon them. The
government has equipped troops sta
tened in northern provinces with skis
when out on active duty in the long
winter. In America much interest has
developed and tournaments are fre-
quant in northern states where there

MEAT SUPPLY SHORT
AGRICULTURAL DEPARTMENT IS.
SUES BULLETIN OF WARNING.
For First Time In History Of Nation
Imports Of Animals Exeeeded
Exports In 1912.

Washington, June 4-The depart
ment of agriculture has issued bul-
letin warning the nation that the sup
ply of meat In the United States is
short and getting shorter every year.
In the year 1912, for the first time
in the history Of this country, the i'm
ports OF animals and animal products
exceeded the exports. In 1907 the num-
Der OF beef cattle in the United States
was 81 $50, 900, while at the beginning
of the present year 1t was only 49,
030, 900.
The same statement was made be-
fore Secretary Wilson went out of
efice, one Of the reasons ascribed be-
ing the preference of the western
ranchmen to grow crops instead Of
cattle.
A year ago the average price Of ma
tive steers on the Chicago market was
s7.95, as against $3.50 in 1911. The
price of hogs rose from 500 in 1911
to $7.55 in 1912; sheep from 1896 to
s4.55. and lambs from IS 80 TO $40.

Council Bluffs, June A decided
ly unusual feature of the crop situa-

are making hay while all of their
corn is not yet planted. This is prob
ably unprecedented. and is due to the
unusual amount of rain which pre-
vented the planting of corn. Prob
ably never before anywhere has it
been able to view farmers planting
corn in one field and making hay in
the field adjoining, as was the case in
several parts of this section the last
few DAYS.
