recently appointed by Secretary Hous-
ton to study the economics of the meat
situation. The reasons are:
The encroachment of farms on the range
territory.
The lack of a proper range leasing law,
permitting economical management and
utilization of ranges.
The shortage in the corn and forage
crops due TO the severe drought in Kan
sas, Nebraska and Oklahoma in 1913, which
caused the farmers in those states to DIS
pose of their meat animals.
The increase in the value of land and
the increased cost of labor and stock feed.
resulting in greatly increased cost of pro-
duCtion.
Tho decline in stocD raising on farms in
the east and south because Of poor mar
ketng facilities. resulting from many To-
cal slaughtcrng establishments having
been driven out of business by the COM
petition of the great central sIaughtering
establishments Of the west and central
west.
The temptation to sell live stock at the
prevailing high prices rather than to CON
tinue to carry it with high priced stock
feed. possible loss from disease or acct
dent and uncertain prices the followius
year,
Enormous losses from hog cholera.
The competition of higher prices for 9th
er farm products
Figured ON the basis of each 100 of
the total estimated population and
compared with conditions in 1910. the
bulletin estimates the shortage
amounts to almost nine cattle, seven
sheep and three hogs.
At the same time the report cites
that the actual value of the meat ami
mails on the farms is greater in the
aggregate than it was in 1910.
The bulletin relative To wheat and
flour says middlcmen are content With
somewhat smaller profits when wheat
is high than when it is low. but it is
the refusal of housewives To stick u
amy particular brand of flour that
keeps the grocer from making biz
profits and furnishes the competition.
The bulletin shows that when il
March. 1906, the farmer WAS getting
I'll cents a bushel on all grades o.
wheat ut the elevator, the margin Of
profit between that figure and what
the consumer paid for patent tlou"

Thos. GRADER aud son Gilmore, had Il
load of cattle ON the Chicago market
Wednesday, Feb. ith, which were good
enough to bring 1923 and only three OF
four punches Of cattle sold above that
price. This certainly speaks well for
Wisconsin cattle, also for the ability Of
Mossrs GRADER in the art Of making
good cattle. These cattle were handled
by Smith Bros. Commission Co., and
the highest priced heavy cattle that
have been sold from Southwestern
Wisconsin this season.

WANT ROOMS.
Owing to the large number of visi-
tors who will be In Valley City to at
tend the Chautauqua and the fair next
week, rooms are at a premium and it
has been difficult to secure sleeping
room for those who will come to the
city to attend the Press Association
which will be held on Friday and Sat-
urday, next week. 1t is expected that
about two hundred and perhaps more
visitors will be here to attend this
meeting, and anyone having room for
one Or more of these visitors will con-
fer favor by calling either the Cour-
Ter or the Times-Record, SO that re-
cord may be kept of the rooms avail
able when the time comes to use
them. Only sleeping room is required
as the visitors will board at the cafes
or hotels down town.

THE ARcHDUKE'S ASSASSINA-
TON.

The assassination of the Archduke
of Austria is a bigger historical event
than any similar royal or political mul
der for a century. 1t recalls the use
of the assassin in the national wars OF
less scrupulous ages. Modern assas-
sinations of rulers have usually had
class or social inspiration. or onne but
that of disordered mind. They have
been aimed at monarchy, at govern
ment at law and order, at organized
society. The inspiration Of this one
is national, in a broad sense radical
1t is a burst of misguided patriotism
The mortal hatred of Austria that
thrilled Italy in the last Century now
burns in some of the Balkan states.
The Austrian Empire of disjointed
states and clashing races, pushed back
from the West, has crept to the East
and South, trying to win unity by con-
cession of parliamentary autonomy to
Hungary and Bohemia, and to gain
power by expansion to the Mediter-
ranean over the ruins of the Turkish
Empire at the cost of Slavic and Greek
aspirations for nationality and union.
The strain upon its imperfect organ
ization has been resisted by the tact
and wisdom of the old Emperor Franz
Josef and the love and loyalty of his
subjects. The Archduke had been
counted on to resist the strain, when
his time came by greater force OF
character and power of rule.
So far as the inevitable conflict of
the spirit of nationality with the spirit
of empire could not be pushed off till
he was Emperor, he has been the in
SEPARATION in government and the ap-
pointed leader in secret diplomacy of
the Imperial and Hapsburg cause.
One party admired, the other hated
him for the brusk annexation of the
Slavic provinces, the mobilization
menace of the Balkan War, and the
tearing up of its earned rewards which
brought a second war and threatened
q third. Servia hated him most, be-
cause his policy denied it Irritation
is dearest hopes.
The Archduke dies as the pretorian
guard of Servia slew Prince Michael
King Alexander and Queen Draga. 1t
is far from the first tragic event in this
Hapsburg generation to reveal the
strain of barbaric passion that runs
through all the group of unhappy
States that lie along the Danube, striv
ing against the rule of force and crav-
ing union of race in self-government.

Chautauqua Buses
Run On Schedule
EASY AND QUICK TRANSP0RTA
TON BETWEEN CITY AND
THE GROUNDS IS NOW
ASSURED,
(From The Chautauquan)

\
In the efforts to provide all possible
conveniences for Chautauqua patrons,
the management this year is operating
regular Chautauqua buses between
the city and Chautauqua grounds. A
schedule will be followed closely and
those bound from town for Chautau-
qua will be certain OF securing bus
every fifteen minutes from the corner
near the postoffice. The buses leave
down town and the ChautauQua
grounds on time whether there are
any passengers or not.
The buses begin to run at seven
IL me morning and leave from both
enus Y. Tue rtu.e every Is minutes un
til Ills. The buses resume the
schedule in the afternoon at 12:45.
The fifteen minute schedule is main
tanned until $3.50 o'clock. The busses
begin running at 6:45 o'clock again
and give a fifteen minute service un-
til 9 .'clock with half hour service
until ten o'clock and as many trips
after the program as are needed to
bring the crowd from the grounds.
The ChautauQua buses have simp-
~ been provided to make certain Of
easy transportation between the city
and the grounds and are not trying
to compete with others who may want
to carry people to andfrom the
grounds. The fare on theChautauQua
buses is ten cents each way.

Play Grounds For
The Smaller City

Fairgrounds which will provide plen
ty of healthful, innocent fun for the
children, are being advocated in near
ly every community. Many smaller
cities have planned for Fairgrounds
only to find the cost Of apparatus pro-
hibitive. Up at Cooperstown, one Of
the progressive little cities Of the
state. they have worked out an idea
of home made playground apparatus
which is saving money and providing
the children of the community with a
we'll equipped playground which has
almost become a community center.
AS a leader in the Cooperstown
work Rev. Mr.. BucKwalter who is
camping at ChautauQua with his fam
lily, has solved the problem of the well
equipped playground for the small
city. An old steam boiler, abandoned
gas pipe, an old wagon wheel, and
material Of like nature have provided
the equipment for the Cooperstown
playground. At the request of the
Daily Chautauquan, Rev. Mr.. Buck
walter has promised to tell our read
ers how the playground apparatus was
made.
In brief article which is to be
published in an early issue, Mr.. Buck
ground at Cooperstown was equipped
with slides, merry o-round, trapese
walter will describe how the play
bars, sand lots, teter, and all the 9th
err apparatus for healthful, interesting
childhood sport at cost which has
been less than the $3.50 appropriated
by the city council for the work.
Read Mr.. Buckwalter's description
and then get a playground for your
own community.

TODAY ENDS FISCAL
YEAR UNDER DENIS

Washington. July To-day marks
the close O fthe first full fiscal year
under the democratic administration.
Figures made public show that up to
and including last Saturday the gov
ernment's receipts had been 1884,
SOC, 007.23, as against $699,0S4.6O for
the corresponding period of the last
fiscal year.
Monday and yesterday will add
heavy receipts especially in corpor-
alton and income tax assessments
which are delayed until the last mo-
ment. Receipts for corporation and
income taxes aggregate $6,627, 566.24
Saturday, making the total collections
from those sources for the year up to
that date $32,2S5, 6S6.97. The treas
ury department estimate of the
amount to be derived from those taxes
is $4,000. 900, and the experience OF
last year, repeated the final day fol
payment will bring in half the total
assessments.
Figures including Saturdays re-
! ceipts show the amount of money col.
lected from customs as $29O,891 1865;
as against $316,33S,572.O3 last year fol
the corresponding period. The inter
nal revenue collections from ordinary
sources so far this year aggregate
| $3O6 267, 1851 compared with 1903,
56O,624.98 for the preceding year
From miscellaneous sources the re
ceipts were 1920, 2o7.42 against $50,
651, 5S8.54 for last year.
The estimate of Secretary McAdot
of the receipts for this fiscal year
made in his annual report last year
was 100000. Delay in the pay
ment Of income tax will doubtless
make it impossible to obtain definite
figure on the governments income fol
some time. The total assessment re-
turned on personal income tax Is $780,,
100000, or $23,25o, 900 less than Mr.
McAdoo expected to derive from thai
source. While all these assessments
probably will be paid promptly there
will be some delay in prosecuting the
tax dodgers from whom Mr.. McAd0c
expects to collect enough to make VI
the difference between his estimate
and returns made by taxpayers.
