STOCK SUPPLY AND PRICES.

In a recent bulletin by the depart
nnen OF agriculture figures are given
relating to the supply OF live stock in
tho United States and the prices
therefore. In this particular bulletin
three classes Of stock are accounted
for. horses. mules and dairy cattle.
There has been a substantial in
crease in the total number OF all three
classes. an average Of : per cent.
While the numbers OF both horses
and mules have increased within the
year, the pricr has decreased. The
average value OF horses is placed at
41.ea. which Is a decrease of about
$40. The ma who has been obliged

A million men have died in this and
other wars to get the cross that Stanny's
thin white fingers had toyed with all
day today. And 1 haven't seen. as much
written in all the newspapers in Eu-
rope about the biggest generals as has
been written about Stanny Stanislaws.
This is how it came about:
You know the old neighbor whom you
left Stanny with, near the town of Say
busch Zywicc? Well. he and the neigh
Dor woman got along nicely together
until last August. when school opened
for the winter. and the old woman told
Stanny that he couldn't go TO school
because he must work for a living.
Stanny didn't know where his father ard
mother were in the United States, so
he solved his problem on his own hook
by running away and starting out in
the world for himself.
Stannv wound up at PrZemySl, where
he saw trolley cars for the first time
in mis- life. and movies" and all the
other sights OF a big city. Then he
walked out into the country toward the
Russian border. and got job with a
farmer.
Heard Drums Beat.
One day he was stacking wheat in the
fields when he heard the beat of drums.
He looked up and saw sight more
wonderful than anything he had seen in
Przemysl. There were soldiers march,
ing and soldiers riding on horses, and
soldiers in automobiles, and soldiers In
wagons, and Oh cannons, and on motor
cycles, and bicycles.
Stanny ran out Of the field to the
road. He looked OH for many inlnl.tes
with his heart turning somersault5 AT
every beat. AS far ahead as he could
See there were soldiers, and as far
behind as he could see. They were over
flowing the road and marching in the
fields. They were ever spilling out or
the fields into the forests. If you've
been in the United states three years
you've seen a circus parade by this
time Well, this was a million circus
parades rolled into one.
Stanny tells me that he really didn't t
think of going with the soldiers until
a band came along. Great big dusty
men with red faces were footing horns.
and that was the finish for Stanny. He
followed the band.
Follow the Bands
You know very well, Mr.. and Mrs.
Stanislaws. that boys in whatever city
and follow them until the music stops
must bust up 1t wasn't Stanny's s
fault. it seems TO me, that this band
played on for hours, and that the pa
rade didn't bust up until way after
dark
By that time Stanny had got ac-
soldiers he had been tagging, and
when they built one of the 10000
campfires, they gave Stanny some
thing to eat and some not coffee.
After that they rolled up in blankets
and went to sleep on the ground. One

Italian Envoy Explains

TO Secretary of State Bryan that the
deposit of $1,000 required of all immi-

additional $40 per passenger, to be de-

big soldier hauled Stanny in under
his blanket and just as Stanny was
wishing that he could stay up longer
and look at all the campflres and
the men sleeping around them, as
they do in the war pictures, he fell
asleep.
A horn aroused Stanny in the morn
ing. There was a terrific rushing
about. There was more coffee with
some bread. The bandsmen picked
up their horns and things and began
footing like Barnum and Bailey's
There were 100000 men-but Stanny
stuck to the band. ] still can't see
that it was Stanny's fault that these
bandsmen didn't stop playing and
break up and go home to their wives
and children as other bandsmen do.
Cautions of Censor.
There's a censor who has to read
what I'm writing and if | tell too
much he'll tear UP the whole thing,
so L can't tell you at what place it
happened, but all of a sudden there
was shooting far up ahead. Men be-
gan to yell; officers gave orders;
soldiers got out their shovels and be-
gan to dig trenches. Stanny found
himself in a big field. near good
sized pond.
The men lay down in the trenches
and waited. Stanny crawled into a
trench beside the big soldier. Pretty
soon some men in a nearby trench
began to shoot. Stanny liked il. It
sounded like a million firecrackers
going off; it did't stop for hours.
That was the beauty Of it.
Stanny and the soldiers had lain in
the bitches eight hours when suddenly
the big soldier turned to Stanny and:
