MORE BEEF.

With the advent,O Argentine beef comes the
that the Federal Government
will permit grazing in the public forests in such
IL way as to accommodate approximately H.
090,0O0 anmaIs-alT of which means more
beef But the important question is, does this
mean cheaper beef 1t is doubtful.
There are columns and columns of figures
presented To show that the beef supply of the
country is declining. Export figures are re-
lied upon in great measure tending to prove
this We do not furnish one-half as much of
the roast beef of Merry England as We used to
do few years ago. The Englishman now gets
the bulk of the genuine article from Argentina.
We may overlook the fact that the American
packers are a big factor in that end of the
game ri. j ss.-s .~. r..~'a - 80 - r..

continue to do so for many years to come

$53,S73,S4l as the estimated amount
OF money taken in by those arrested
as well as those convicted during the
fiscal year ended June 30. 1913
The successful criminal prosecu-
tons OF promoters of fraud schemes
within the last few months are very
gratifying and the punishment melted
out TO the swindlers will doubtless
have a wholesome effect in lettering
others from using the mails improp.
erly. K
The stock-selling proposition ap-
pears to appeal to the public more
than any other one fraud scheme con-
Quoted and the amount of money TAX
en- in by promoters operating this
class of scheme is enormous. The fol-
lowing case is probably one Of the
most far-reaching of it's kind ever
prosecuted by the post Office depart
ment:
international Lumber and Develop
ment Co.
The ostensible business of this
concern was to clear; plant, and
bring to a high state of tropical cul
ture 10000 acres of land located in
Mexico. By contract entered into by
the several promoters in control Of
this company certain of them were
to receive $50, and others were to
receive $3.50, for every share Of stock
sold. for which the latter promoters
we're to clear and develop l acre OF
land. Thousands of unfortunate pur-
chasers of contracts were unable to
make their monthly payment and were
lapsed out. The stockholders number
more than 1000 scattered throughout
the United States, Canada and Eu-
rope. Dividends were paid from the
proceeds of the sale of stock Offices
were maintained in Mobile, Ala. Chi
cago, ILL.,, and Philadelphia, Pa,
This case was difficult to prepare,
for the reason that the business was
carried on in various parts of Mex.
leo. 1t was also a difficult case, to pro-
secute, due to the fact that the Mexi.
can government does not permit the
removal of original records from that
country and witnesses could not be
subpoenaed. 1t was estimated that
the promoters of this scheme filched
from the public approximately $4,000.
600. They were convicted and sen.
fenced. .... 49,. .....,. ~.
Another class of fraud promoters
being vigorously prosecuted by the de-
partment Is the so-called medical spe.
cialists who. use the mails for their
nefarious business. The business con.
Quoted by this class of swindlers is
one of the most despfcable Of all the
mail-order fakes. They prey upon the
aged, the sick, the cripple, and the
feeble-minded, and, regardless of the
length of time they treat patients, con.
! tinue to hold out hopes of being able
to give relief and to effect a cure.
Victims have been known to continue
to send money for period of eigha
years OF these takers, including
those who used the mails to promote

rested during the year; 212 were In
dieted; and 121 have already been
convicted. From Report of the Chief

THREE PHASES OF KAMtBAMEHA DAY

Kamehamrha Day. 1914. presented three
striking phases that made the day notable.
First from an historical and cnmmeInora-
tive standpoint, the ceremonies were SplrndidtT
ennceived and handled with a large degree of
Intelligent imprtsssveneSs The best spirit of
cid Hawaii was observed and the professional,
fableaus and pageant were kept at high level
% dignity and natural artistry. Such cere
monies AZ those Of Yesterday will, II made per
lnanent hy repetition, insure a steatlilE-ncreas
ING regard on the part Of the mixed peoples Of
Hawaii for the best things i'm the life of Hawaii
many years ago. 49,
Second, from the standpoint of a picturesque
holiday, the occasi0n was a suecess. \ series
.. stately and ctl0rfnl pictures. carried out
with the recognized hstrionic sadaptablity of
the Hawaiian, attracted and charmed tourist
and resident alike @ III T..
Third, the meaning of the day was made the
text for significant addresses by the chosen
orators of their people ~ .."
Here are two suggestive excerpts from
speeches the first by the veteran orator, the
I,eT. stephen Il. Desla nf Hilo, the second by
an energetic ard keen-minded Young collegian,
the Rev. Akaikp .Akana. Said Mr.. Desha.
Mr. Akana's ringing thought Was this:
ITO you young men ] to say follow the ex-e
ample OF Kamehameha. The king would not per-
nit dissipation among his warriors in his court.
Kamehameha not OF that type II you desire to
be ike him. you must live clean lives
nYou young who enjoying the opportun
ties or education and training made free to you
through the wisdom OF Kamehameha and the Kings
and Chiefs who lived after him. must fit yourselves

ton to come.
The drawback to yesterdays program was
hat there were SO many features some had to
Be neglected. But in general it may be said

COOPERATION IN THE FARM BUREAU

Unless formers are sufficiently inte1tS'| ed
in farm bureau work to form an effective organ
;zatiOn which truly represents the farming in
teress of the county. there is small chance Of
the county bureau meeting with great success.
1t * not enough for professional and business
men to interest themselves in tn" work; the
farmers must feel that the bureau is theirs, that
it is a means by which they can ali cooperate in
securing for the community at large every pos
siblr benefit, and not an institution for confer
ring benefits on them individually \ county
organization imbuel with this spirit is ncc,s
sary preliminary to successful work by a

The temperance movement is neither local no
national it is Worldwide. Read this from Lon
don:
While ii has not been suggested that the British
admiralty follow the example Of Secretary Dan
ieis and prohibit the OF wines and liquors
in the navy, q movement is afoot to induce the
men to give up drink
Admiral Sir G. .king-Hall. speaking of this move
ment, sad thai temperance in the navy was making
progress all along the line but there still
for much Improvement, He condemned the practice
OF giving grOg. and said 80 yer cent OF the
men would give it up II some small addt On to

Newberry Letter.

Editor of the Lexington Dispsctch:
We are all human beings, and we do
not all lookeat things exactly the same
way. We hope, however, that every
good reasonable thinking, concien-
tious, law-abiding citizen of this old
commonwealth is satisfied with the
nominations made in the two recent
primaries for the various State and
County offices. We are all democrats
and as good Christian, law-abiding
citizens, where we have our Christian
churches of the various denomina
ions, schools and colleges, we should
have no i'll feelings towards each other
from the fact, as a free citizen, we
have the privilege of exercizing our
Judgment as to who we shall vote for.
The people do not very often make a
mistake. Should they make a mistake
sooner or later they will correct the
error. So let US stand firmly togethe r
as democrats, and work for the best
interest and welfare of our State and
counties in which welive.
We congratulate our friend, Judge
G. M. Efri, for the high honor in
which he has received by his friends
to fill the urexpired term Of Judge
Gary, deceased. We venture to say,
not better qualified man could be
found in the State to fill the Judges
chair in the 65h circuit than Judge
Efrd. B. B. H.
