the increase of population. In 1900
there were So pounds of beef raised
for every person in the country, in
1909 the amount sank to 83 pounds,
and in 1914 to 20 pounds. Since
1910 there has been an actual de-
crease in the number of beef cattle
in the country-a decrease caused
in the main by the encroachments
of settlers on the ranges, the over
slaughter of calves and the high
price of corn and land.
The fresh and frozen beef import
ed from Argentina and other coun-
tries is not enough to offset the de-
crease in our per capita production,
and cannot become enough unless
most of the beef that has hitherto
gone to Great Britain is diverted to
this country. Since October, altho
the price of beef has been higher
here than in London, the amount of
foreign dressed beef we have re-
ceived has been only two per cent.

In the face of the enormous Brit

.PINCHOT HAS NO
USE FOR PERKINS

New York, June 10.-Amos Pin
chot today made public a letter he
recently addressed to Col. Roosevelt
and other progressive leaders de-
nouncing George w. perkins, chair
man Of the national executive COM
mittee, principally because Of Per-
kins' affiliation with the United
States Steel Corporation and the
international Harvester company,
two great monopolies which sue
ceeded most completely in exploit
ing the public and crushing organ
lied labor" The letter declares
that a situation exists in the pro-
gressive party which must be ter
minated before it can command gen.
eral popular support"
Pinchot's letter outlines that Per-
kins favors the protection of private
m0nopOlleS IN American INDUSTRY
and that he is actively opposed to
recognition of labor's right to ~
ganize and deal with capital tlffu
labor unions and has frequently
gone on record to this effect.
Pinchot then says the progressive
party is on record in opposition t.
Perkins, and adds that Perkins
thru the progressive party's officia
bulletin, has conducted an extensive
pro-trust propaganda calculated Il
convince the party and the publii
that trusts are useful and sacred in
stitutions, that those who attacl
them are bent on destruction Of al
. healthy industry on a large scale
and finally that the progressive par
ty fully agrees with him in thes
views. As q result We have bee
placed in false and fatal position.

From 1873 until 1882 the United
States exported 1,34O, 900, 900
pounds Of meat and meat products
annually. From 1898 to 1902, it
exported 2,2O9, 10000 pounds an
nually. From that time, however.
the amount decreased until in 1910
it was only LOTS, 100000 pounds.
In 1918 the amount again increased;
it reached 1887, 100000 pounds,
but of that amount, beef and its
products supplied less than one
seventh, and that mostly in the
form of oleomargarine, oil, tallow
and cured beef. The amount OF
fresh beef exported was only 7,O0O,-
600 pounds.
Even that small surplus available
for export has disappeared; the
United States does not now pro-
duce all the beef that its own peo-
pie demand. From October 8,
1918, when the import duty was
removed from meat, to January,
1914, the United States imported
from Argentina, Australia, New
Zealand, Canada, Uruguay and Mex
leo, AZ, ,000. 900 pounds of fresh anC
frozen beef. Of this amount, "a
900, 900 pounds came from Argen
tina. If importation continues al
that rate, we shall during the re
mainder Of the year buy $4,000,
600 pounds of beef from othel
countries.
The annual beef production of tn,
United States is still almost incred
IDLY large. The next most produc
tive country does not raise half S,
much beef as we do. Our pligh

MONTPELIER WINS
FROM BANCROFT

Owing to the measley weather
which the weather man dished out
for this section the latter part of
last week, the games which were
scheduled between the Pocatello
Short Line and Montpelier teams
for Saturday and Sunday were can
celed.
However, the weather cleared up
sufficiently on Saturday afternoon
to warrant the calling of a game
for Sunday afternoon, and the Ban
croft team very graciously accepted
an invitation by telephone to come
up and give the Bear Lake Braves
an opportunity to get revenge for
the defeat of the previous Sunday
which they did by a score of thirteen
to three.
As the score indicates, the game
was somewhat one-sided. The runs
scored by the home team were the
result principally of errors on tbs
part of the Dry Farmers. Tn.
game started off well, as neithel
team scored in the first inning, bu
in the second and third innings tn
visitors went up in the air, and 81,
of Montpelier's players crossed hom
plate in the two innings. The visit
ors played in hard luck thruout tn
game and not until the fifth inninI
did they get score.

: pretty fair game all thru. Th
team was materially strengthene

Rock Springs, as short stop. Jac
isn't much bigger than a minutl
! but he is there with the goods whe
it comes to playing short stop in

ployment here and viii play wit

BUSINESS SUFFERING
FROM LEGISLATION N

While in Washington few days
ago, Julian S. Carr of Durham, N.
c., one of the largest cotton manu-
facturers in the world, thus talked
to Washington Post representative
regarding business conditions in the
south:
In the South business is not what
it ought to be; one might as we'll be
truthful and acknowledge the con-
ditions Moreover, one might as
well admit that the probable cause
of the business depression is too
much legislation. / am good dem
ocrat and want to see every plank
in the democratic platform fulfilled
but there is such a thing as giving
a patient too much medicine in one
dose. I can make a child sick by
feeding it too much candy.

David Warfield, now one Of the

emerged under the Belasco manage
ment IN The Auctioneer' was the
character In which he appeared for
hundreds of times I'm the Weberiield-

character roles other than that of

NOTICE TO DOG OWNERS.

Preventing Further Quarantine.

The Delaware State Live Stock San
itary Board has been notified by the
State Live Stock Sanitary Board OF
Pennsylvania that it is necessary to
quarantine dogs in Delaware and
Chester counties for 100 days on ac-
count of the outbreak of rabies in
these counties.
The Delaware board has been re-
quested by the Pennsylvania board to
quarantine all dogs in New Castle
county. There does not appear 10 be
any immediate need or warrant for
such action but dog owners are re-
quested to keep their dogs on their
own premises as much as possible
and be on the lookout for any indi-
cation of this disease and for the
presence of any stray dogs.
Should any further outbreak occur
in New Castle county the board may
be forced to establish a rigid quaran-
tine. Red Lion and st. Georges hun.
dreds are already under quarantine
but this quarantine will not be ex.
tended until the necessity for such al
extension shall be known to exist
Farmers particularly and all dos
owners by carefulness may be able tC
obviate the necessity of any further
quarantine. If all dog owners viii
do as requested it will help to eradi
cate this dreaded disease.
