Buyers of cattle from the dres- sed beef houses say a temporary beef famine threatens Kansas City and vicinity, its duration depending on the will of the ranch owners in the great graz ing sections to the west south west.
 The slaughter of cattle in Kan sas City has been far below nor nal for some time past. but reached an acute stage this week when fewer than eleven thou sand cattle have gone to the six big dressed beef concerns in four days, or no more than enough to supply the state of Missouri a full beef ration for two days. This weeks slaughter of cattle will be less than half that of the corresponding week a year ago.
 
 The capacity of Kansas City slaughter houses is eighteen thousand cattle daily and the plants have had less than one- seventh of this number in the past four days.
 In four days this week the five Western markets received only 82,OOO cattle. compared with 123, ,OO0 cattle a year ago. a de- crease of 33 per cent. In the first five and one-half months this year the same markets re- ceived 300, 900 fewer cattle than in the same period of 1913, a de- crease of 12 per cent.

The Northern Arizona
 Painting Company

Messrs. Close and Leopold, of the Northern Arizona Painting Co.,, went to St. Joseph last week where they have the contract to paint the school house and other buildings in our thriving little neighbor city.
 The Northern Arizona Paint ing Co. is one of the permanent business institutions of Hol- brook, and while in the past they have been very silent as to thelr intentions and progress in busi- ness, they are now in a position to make it known to the pubic that they are located in Holbrook to stay for all time. Their interests and headquarters are to be located here perma- nently and are in a position to handle all work in the painting and decorating line throughout the northern part of Arizona. They can also furnish to the pub lie any materials and all mate rials used by painters for all painting and decorative work in any quantity at the lowest possi- ble price. Price list will be gladly furnished to any one sending in requests for same.
 They have proven to the pub lie that they can do satisfactorily any kind of work that they ad- vertise, and have some of the. best homes in Holbrook to point to as to the quality of their work. It is their intention to do the best in thelr line and satisfy the peoples wants at the lowest figure to compete with first class work and trust when such work is desired they will be given con- sideration. They have completed in the past six months such pretty homes as Dr. Bazell's, Attorney c. H. Jordan's. Judge Sapp's, Frank Wallace's and the interior of Jay Patterson's and many others, and have now on hand Jesse Hulet's and the Brad ley residences to be finished very soon.
 The latter part of last week the company shipped over 1000. pounds of material to St. Joseph and on Tuesday 600 pounds more to be used on the school house, which is being painted and dec orated throughout; also MT. Han sens home will get a new cleap outside and some inside painting. John McLaw's house will also come in for renovating as soon as It Is possible for Messrs. Close & Leopold to get to it. Besides these the gentlemen have nu- merous smaller jobs at St. Jo- seph and in HoIbrook.

Kansas City Cattle
 and Sheep Prices

Kansas City Stock Yards, June 29.-Cattle supply here last week was 22.OO0 head, previous week 15, 800. same week last year 26, = 900. Features were stronger prices for fed cattle and weaker prices for grassers. Middle and low class butcher grades declin- ed 15 to 35 cents, and the rather inferior set of stockers and feed CTS offered met an indifferent demand. Buyers were kept at home by harvest, and the big gest demand here was for choice stockers, an article temporarily scratched off the menu. The cattle supply today is II, 1000 head, including 5000 in the quar- antine division. The market on fed cattle is strong. and 6 loads of heavy Missouri steers brought the top 1925, other natives up to $9.20. Good to choice fed steers are selling Soc. higher than at this time a year ago. and It is probable they will con- tinue high til another crop of beef is made from 1914 corn. Central Kansas grass steers weighing HOO lbs. wintered on wheat, sold at $8 to $8. 40 today. Colorado best pulp cattle are a thing of the past, none received since first of last week. Good cake ted North Texas and Okla homa steers sold at >S7.25 to $7.85 in the Quarantine division today, choice steers of this class quotable at $8.25, middle and low class Oklahoma grass steers, of which the supply today large ly consists, selling at $5. 65 to $7, grass cows $4.25 to $6. Stockers and feeders are uneven and weak today at a level, almost as low as two weeks ago, sales largely at $6. 40 to $7.50. The rather un- satisfactory market is due to lack of decent offerings, as senti- ment in the country is decidedly favorably to investments in young cattle under present con- ditions.
 Spring lambs have been a tar get for the shafts of buyers re- gently, and a decline of 15c. to 25c. was enforced on them to- day, top sale S9.15 Best Ari- zonas are auotable at $9. Re ceipts at Southern and Eastern markets have been light and the present cut is regarded as tenn porary. Native ewes sell at $4. 25 to $5. choice breeding ewes are worth $5.25, best fat wethers $6, yearling $7. The Texas crop is all in, and light receipts will rule for the next five or six weeks. Supply today 5000.

Wonderful Development
 In Electrical Appliances

Tt is remarkable how electri- cal equipment has been develop ed and successfully applied to the modern automobile" " stated Chas. Jarvis of Chas. Jarvis 6 Son. distributors, Tn this terri tory for the Haynes. Americas First Car. It speaks well for the manufacturer when he can produce an electrical device that will operate 100 times out of every 100 trials under the severe service that it is put to in the course of the average running of the car. It must withstand all the shocks and jolts coming from the road. as well as damp ness and all temperature ranges.
 The average owner knows little or nothing of the theroy of operation of the electrical parts. so that they must be rigidly con- structed and capable of perman- ent adjustment. To eliminate the hcman element, all devices should be automatically controll- ed as far as in possible. Above everything else, simplicity of design is most essential to the successful operation of this equipment.
 Tt is very rare to hear of trouble in the various units of an electrical system. and when con- plaint is made, it may be traced to the storage battery In the ma jority of case. With the present state of development of the bat tery. trouble will arise in it un- less it is abused by the operator of the car. A starting and | lighting system is a drain on a | storage battery in the hands of an inexperienced driver, and the | mistake is often made, especial ly in city driving, of stopping and starting the car frequently without running the car for and | fast enough to allow the genera tor to replace the current in the battery that was consumed in starting, and when a long drive is taken. It is usually at night | when the larger part of the gen. orator output is going to the lamps in place of the battery. | The cure for this is to allow the engine to run with car remaining stationary for a short time each morning.
 All electrical units on the car should be as entirely independent of each other in operation as possible to insure the greatest reliability. In the Haynes car. the ignition system is entirely independent of the storage bat tery. dual. high tension mag neto is used so that smooth run ming of the engine is secured, regardless of the condition of all other electrical equipment.

 100 Year
Is the Name of a New Book

Eugene Christian. P. s. D., the worlds greatest Food Scientist. has just published new book called How to Live 100 Years

If should do this he would live nearly 200 yeays. but civilized dies the average age of 39 He begins to lose his teeth, his eyes and his hair, and drops into his grave only few years after he is grown.
 Dr. Christian shows that % per cent of all the human beings born into the world die before they are one year old 22 per cent die before their fifth birthday, and more than half of the human race race die before they are twenty-five.
 All other animals on the globe live eight times as long as it takes them to get their growth Man breathes the same air. drinks the same water lives under the sunshine, but differs from his brother animals only in his eating, therefore Dr. Christian shows conclusively that this appalling discrepancy must be account of his eating habits and he has proved that his theory is true by curing 5000 people within the past ten years by teaching them what to eat and how to eat.

cient evidence can be obtained, he
shall at once file complaint against
such officer with the county attorney,
who shall prosecute the same.

INSPECTION MATTERS
IN AROOSToOk co.
Points of Interest in Regard to
Potato Inspection and Quar-
antine-More Money Neces-
sary to Properly Carry on the
Work.
(Fort Fairfield Review.)

Thirteen federal guarantees for
various kinds of diseases in several
varieties of plants are now in effect
in the United States. but it is the
potato quarantine in Aroostook that
particularly affects us. The quaran-
tine on potatoes for the market has
just been raised from the parts of
Maine lying outside the Aroostook dis
trict, but the quarantine in this re-
gion is as strict as ever. Needless
to say, the quarantine maintained
against the powdery scab is by far
the most costly Of any of the quaran-
tines maintained by the national gov
eminent.
A year ago congress was advised
that the cost of the quarantine in
Aroostook for a year would be about
100000. The senate, largely through
the excellent work and influence Of
Senator Charles F. Johnson of Maine,
passed an appropriation for that
amount, but this was afterwards cut
down in the house of representatives
to $4,000. This action seemed to in
dictate the inauguration of policy on
the part of the national government of
hoil thC NAPchSSo Va ehO qooT-
antine, instead of the whole. 1t is
apparently the motto of congress that
1t will help those who help themselves.
This seems to leave about $4,000 to
be provided by the State or in some
other way.
Up to the end Of October, 1914, the
quarantine work in Aroostook had
cost in round numbers $4,000, the
cost per car shipped being somewhere
near $780, About $1,000 a month is
paid In salaries of inspectors Of va
rious grades. The $4,000 on hand
from the national government will
carry on the work till early the COM
ing January, when the work must
stop unless other funds are provided.
There is no doubt that the State
at its coming session will
early be asked to vote $5O,000 or
large part of that amount toward the
in this region. Perhaps
provisions may be made for raising
a part of the money by fees on certif-
Gates. Anyway, the matter is
mighty important one. and 1t would
seem to be up TO the Maine legtsla-
ture and governor soon for settlement.
A stamp system has been suggested
