Reversing an Economic Yaw.

Great Britain. with a vastly more congested
area than the United States, has 100 cattle to
the square mile, as compared with less than
81 for this country. 1t is therefore absurd to
suppose that the breaking up of the great cattle
ranges of the Far West will explain the 80 per
cent decline in number which the department
of agriculture finds to have taken place from
January /. 1907. to the beginning of this year.
Every one knows that in this time the price
of beef has enormously increased. Every one
knows also that no economic law is more in
variable in it's working than that rising prices
to the producer stimulate production.
Why Is it that high and still higher prices to
the consumer have been accompanied in this
case by a declining production instead? Is 1t
because they do not get clear back to the cattle
grower in due proportion? What has caused an
economic law which universally works one way
when not interfered with to work an opposite
way where nature at least has imposed no inter-
ference7
These are fair questions. Does the meat-pack-
Ing industry hide the sufficient answer New

CURRENT COMMENT
R. 8. BARBOUR
The Old Dominion Calls Its Children.

Liz Ohu I'LL AN AU9 OUlAuT6us
The sons Of the old State of Virginia, like
those of New England, were an adventurous set,
and many of them from time to time emigrated
to other parts Of the Union to seek their for
tunes.
The daughters Of the Dominion" among
the most charming of their sex, were sought in
marriage far and wide, and they have batri-
oticaly done their share in peopling this great
nation.
Is on foot an unusual but interesting PROPOSE
ton, that some time in the year 1915 the Vir-
visit to the land Of their nativity and renew old
associations and receive inspiration from the
historic greatness Of their fathers and OF other
illustrious men Of that State.
The editor of the Manufacturers Record, of
Baltimore, who. II not a born virginian as he
may be, 10 one Of the South's eminent sons and
Is distinguished as a statistician. has been fig
uring up from the census the number OF Viz
ginians-born living in other States of the Union.
Virginia in the United States In 1910. OF that
total, 1.s43 1862 were living in Virginia and SILL
6ss were living in other States. At the same
time 1885 natives Of other States were Nv
ing In Virginia, making the total population ma
tives Of the United States living in Virginia
2 .o32.o3s. In the interchange Of population the
balance against Virginia was 4s2.S07. OF the
total number OF self-exiles from Virginia 271,-
AL were living In States outside the south and
355, 2s2 in other Southern States. as follows:
West Virginia, SO. $40; District of Columbia, o.
TIA: Maryland, 4b.s16; North Carolina. 1889;
SIC; Kentucky. 1854; Oklahoma, 1850;
Georgia. s,tos; Alabama, 1888; Mississippi,
1851; Arkansas: $3.50; Louisiana. $3.50;
Florida. 4,907 and South Carolina, 3,422.
In this exchange with other Southern States
Virginia received 141.356, as follows: From
North Carolina 1918: MARYLAND, 1899: West
Virginia, 1857; Tennessee. 1856; Kentucky.
1851; District OF Columbia, 5.l49; South Caro-
lima, 3.735: Georgia, ASS; Alabama. 1865;
Missouri, 1923; Texas, S07; Florida. TAO: Miss
issippi. e43: Louisiana $40; Arkansas. 400, and
Oklahoma, 100.
Doubtless most Of them in the distant States
to which they had removed have done their
duty as men and citizens, and that Is all that
could be expected of them. Perhaps many or
them would have done as we'll in the old State
as they did outside of 1t, but in new countries
they were driven by necessities that would not
have pressed them so heavily In the old nome;
but this has made them show their manhood all
the more energetically.
The return and assembling Is so far only a
proposition, but in all likelihood 1t will be car
ried out, and 1t will be an interesting event.

The Universal Habit.

Statistics of the department of agriculture re-
speeding international trade In tobacco show
eight hundred million pounds annually, either
export or import. Classification by countries
furnishes a reminder of the interesting circum-
stances that two OF the largest consuming popu-
lations, the United Kingdoms and Germany
are chiefly indebted to other countries for their
supplies. Although Germany grows about one
tenth of the European crop she exports none'
and her imports amount to one hundred and
fifty million pounds: more than three times
the imports of the United States.
Our exports are nearly nine times as heavy
as our imports. The United States Is the heav-
lest selling country, although a few are equally
we'll able to provide themselves. AS a com
modify of universal ption tobacco is far
in the lead, despite the fact that the worlds
mentors have never ceased to inveigh against
it-from the days when popes mathematical II,

Jesus, Dec. II, 1912. Darling boy, you
have left me one long week since you
have gone, but l know you are safe in
heaven mingling with the happy throne.
How we watch to see you coming. How
we listen TO hear you call. How we
miss you darling baby, one we loved so
dear to all, we have lost our darling boy,
be has bid us all adieu. He has gone TO
live in heaven, and his presents are lost
to view. o. that darling, how we loved
him. o, how hard to give him up, but
an angel come down from heaven and
summoned him from our flock. His
busy hands are folded, his work on earth
is done, his tasks are all ended, his
heavenly crown is won, past his suffer
ing, past his pain ceased to weep for
tears are rain, calm the tempest of your
breast for he who suffered is now at rest.
Painlessly he bore his suffering, loving
hands did all they could, but God took
him from our family, as dear mother
thought. He would just cross the silver
river, over in the Happy land. where
there is no pain, no parting, that will
grieve Gods chosen band. Funeral SER
vices were conducted at the family
graveyard at one o'clock by Sister Burk.
There is sorrow felt in every heart for
the brave parents over the loss of their
CHI lid, aged two years.

Commercial Paper in
Banking.

When a merchant gives his paper to
the bank for loan. it may not be sala-
BILE outside the merchants community.
because the MERCHANTS standing may
not be widely known. That is why SO
much of the paper our banks deal in is
of strictly local character, and is value
less as an asset when the bank needs
funds TO accommodate customers. If
we had system for giving such paper
a national market, as it has abroad, this
diffiulty would be removed. At present
our banks prefer stocks and bonds to
commercial paper as security, because
they can more readily convert stocks
and bonds into funds when in need. No
reform Of our banking system will be
fair to the merchant or TO the whole
business community which does not put
commercial paper in the place it de-
serves, as the very best basis of credit
