ALARMING SHORTAGE
OF Meat Animals Since 1910 Census.

The indicated total shortage of meat
animals since the census of 1910 is
nearly beef cattle, I sheep and over
8 hogs for each 100 of the total esti
mated population of the United States
in January. 1914, according to the es
Inmates of the Department of Agricul-
ture just published in the Agricultural
Outlook. This means that it would
take 8,259,00O more meat cattle, sheep
and swine than the estimates show at
present in this country, to give the
present population the same meat sup
ply that the census of 1910 showed to
exist.
These estimates are based upon re-
ports and estimates from the Depart
ments field ara State agents and
county, township and special CORE
spondents, who have reported on prac
tcally every county in the United
States. The figures moreover have
been compared with those of the CEN
sus of 1910 and with the records of
tax assessors in the various States as
far as they are available The de-
partment therefore believes that these
figures represent the best information
obtainable on the numbers and val
ues of live stock, including meat ami
mails.
The estimates with regard to meat
animals, that is, cattle other than
mich COWS, and sheep and swine, in
dictate a steady and fairly uniform de-
crease in the number of meat cattle
and sheep and slight Increase in
the number of swine.
SOME CAUSES OF THE SHORTAGE.
The shortage of meat animals is
probably due to number of contri-
buting causes. Some of the more i'm
portant of these are:

One Need We Cannot Fill

A good many Things happen IN SOM
erset County every week. When we
have told them all we have little OF
no space for what is going on IN the
balance of the world. OF course a
Somerset County family wants first 10
know what is happening in its neigh
borhood. We can fill the bill in that
respect. but they also want to kno"
the more important events in the resi-
Of the world and that is just what
we have little room for We should
like to give our readers the world
news. but if we tried We could no
more than half do it. SO We shall
stick principally to Somerset County
matters and suggest another plan Tor
State. nation and world happenings.
There are papers, weeklies. tn
weeklies and dailies that fl into the
news game Just where We leave OH,
and they do not cost very much either.
We can get you a weekly for 30 cents
a wear. a tri weekly for 65 cents or
daily for $3.50. This represents the
cost only and the offer is restricted
to subscribers to the independents
Reporter. The tri weekly at 80 cents
is perhaps the most wonderful offer
in the newspaper line. These papers
come to you three times a week l9e
times year, the cost for each ISSUE
being not much over one-third oil
cent. A weekly at 80 cents a week
does very we'll OF course if you
feel you must have daily, S1.5o
year is a very reasonable proposition
Drop us a card and we will have
sample copies sent to you. Please

If on a delivery route, be sure to tell
what time the carrier leaves the post
office. We can then select the paper
that will arrive just in time to give
you the best service.

Lakewood Notes

The Lakewood Stock Co. is present.
ing THE Brute" this week, and this
marks the first really dramatic play
of the season. 1t is most intensely
interesting drama, and is given most
excellent Interpretation by the COM
pany. Miss Armstrong is seen in the
leading part, and Mr.. Lyons lends his
splendid resources to the role of her
brutal husband. Mr. SIeight, Miss
King, Miss Sidney, Mr.. Hayden and
little Ruth Clark complete the cast.
The patrons of the theatre will be
more han glad to hear that next
week they are to have an opportunity
to see on the stage the dramatic YER
sion of Louise Alcotts literary classic
Little Women. Unlike most plays
dramatized from popular books Lit
tie Women" follows the story very
closely. Marion De Forest who made
the acting version, with the permits
sion of John Alcott, has taken the
best known and most popular incl
dents in the story and out OF them
made a play of rare charm and dell
cacy. In these days of lurid melo-
drama and problem plays, Little Wo-
men" comes as breath from the
woods, full of sweetness and purity, a
refreshing change that has an lrresls-
tible appeal to audiences OF all ages.
Probably every one has read the IA
nous Alcott stories, and no one who
has will miss this opportunity to re-
new their acquaintance with 10, Meg,
Amy, Beth, Aunt March, Laurie, John
Brook and all the rest. The full COM
pany will appear in the play, includ
ing John Harrington, who returns to
the cast after a two weeks vacation,
one member of the cast, Miss King,
has appeared in the production when
on the road under the management of
William A. Brady, and she will be
seen in her original part. The men,
bers of the cast are all very enthus-
iastic about the play and have been
looking forward to playing it for the
past several weeks. Rehearsals are
now in progress and with such vim
that the patrons of the theatre may
be assured of a perfect performance
on Monday night. 1t will be advisable
tor those who can to come early in the
week for the latter days are sure to
bring forth crowds such as Lakewood
Theatre can hardly accommodate. The
usual performance will be given with
a dance after the performance on Fri
day night.
