HIGH PRICES FOR BEEF

The following interview BY
the Leader with Col. Monte
Fox, the leading buyer of fat
cattle in the Blue Grass, will be
read with interest by the farmers
of Montgomery county. 1t says
Monte Fox, of Boyle county
who buys every year thousands
of fancy beeves for New York
parties, says there is a great
scarcity of beef cattle, and that
he would not be at all surprised
to see feeders" selling at 8 cents
a pound now that the rains have
come and give good promise Of
grass and corn. For the uninitiat-
ed it may be stated that feeders"
are young cattle that are put on
feed and fattened for the follow,
ing years market. Fancy beeves
are now bringing somewhere in
the neighborhood of $3.50 per
hundred pounds, which is a very
substantial advance over the
prices of few years ago. Cattle
on the hoof at $40 make sirIoin
steaks in New York cost about
forty cents pound at the butch
er shops and about $26.65 on the
swell hotel menus. Mr.. Fox
says that the low prices for beef
cattle few years ago led many
farmers to quit feeding them and
the stock ran down because so
many cows and heifers went to
the butchers. The breaking up
of so much grass land for tobac-
co has also contributed to the
shortage of cattle. Now that
the prices are better the industry
will be stimulated but naturally
it will take two or three years to
replenish the breeding stock.
Mr.. Fox says there are now
scarcely any fancy beeves inn
ported from this country, but
that a great deal of Argentine
meat comes to the United States
by way of London. This beef,
he says, is not as good in quail
ty as the domestic article and for
that reason does not compete
with the home beef at the best
home and hotel tables, but is
widely sold and undoubtedly
keeps the price for the Blue
Grass steer down lower than it
would otherwise be-"

II is the first time the allied Ger
man societies Of this vicinity and the
Turner'S of the German Gymnastic
Association have combined their cele-
brations. Heretofore each was given
at a different season of the year and
were also big successes when thus
given separately. Now that the two
events are combined into a three-day
Turnfest-German Day festival it is
sure to prove the biggest drawing
card and all round success in the
history of this city.

review the great street parade on
Monday, June 18th. II nothing de-
velops to prevent, the chief executive
will be accompanied by his full staff.
The city will be in gala attire that
day, particularly on the line OF march.
Practically every business house
has agreed to decorate their places
profusely. Sufficient liberal donations
have been made to assure the financial
success OF the undertaking.
Turner societies from Chicago, St.
Louis, Louisville, Indianapolis, TerTe
Haute, Fl. Wayne and some other
smaller places have announced their
intention OF coming TO compete for
the athletic medals and mass drill
prizes. These events will prove well
worth travelling many miles to see.
II has been planned not 10 have

days. Beginning Saturday morning
June 9th. with the athletic field day
and concluding Monday night with the
great fire works exhibition on barges

On the same day Of the parade,
which will be the last of three days
of continuous festivities, an immense
public picnic will be given at beauti-
full Oak Summit Park in the suburbs
of the city. II is being planned to
have some orator Of national reputa-
ton address those assembled at this
picnic. 1t is possible Gov. Ralston
may consent to do this.
That same night the water festival
on the Ohio River will be viewed by
a record crowd. Magnificent fire
works display and living picture
groups posed by the different Turner
societies under an effective arrange
ment of multi-colored lights, will
terminate the celebration.

elaborate scale than ever before at
tempted, and is sure to prove an
event long to be remembered. Turner
