METHODIST HAPPENINGS.
Z. J. FISH, PASTOR.

The Methodist church still moves on
with the manifest presence of Holy
Spirit. A number have taken their
stand for Christ, and others declare a
desire to become Christians. The Sum
day services were especially impressive,
four good meetings being held. The
mems meeting in the afternoon was well
attended by the men of Custer, also the
womens meeting at the Congregational
church addressed by Mrs. Kirk was also
one of special power.
The temperance meeting Monday night
at the opera house was grand success,
as manifested by the great crowd that
attended and the frequent applause.
The childrens part was especially good,
and truly moved the audience with their
illustrated songs and importance yell,
which we have fully appreciated since
the election. While Rev. Kirk held the
closest attention of the audience by his
masterful way of presenting his theme,
the climax of the evening came with
the dramatic act" when the Reverend
with al ak in hand marked vote"
smashed the jug marked BOOZE" which
brought the children's chorus to their
feet waving their flags to the tune of
"Red, White and Blue"
The meetings will continue oyer Sum
day. Sunday will be an especially inter-
esting day. The theme Sunday morning
will be Faith; in the evening, "The
Shut Door," In the afternoon at three
o'clock mems meeting will be held at
the Methodist church, and at the same
hour a women's meeting will be held In
the Congregational church. Make special
effort 10 attend all the services, for much
may result to you by your attendance.
Sunday School at tho usual hour. All
ars welcome.

MEAT PRODUCTION
Two Million Cattle and Nine
Million Sheep.

Washington, April 20.-Receipts from
grazing permits on the National Forests
for the season of 1915 will contribute to
the public revenues approximately
81 200, 900, or about 100000 more than
last year, according to an estimate made
from the allowances just authorized by
the Secretary of Agriculture. The For
ests this year will furnish forage for
l,983,775 cattle and horses, S,747, ,025
sheep and goats, and 64,040 swine, the
figures indicating a material increase of
meat production on the government reg
ulated ranges.
The increase of 81, ,65s cattle and horses
over the allowances for 1914 is accom-
panied by decrease of 120,SSl sheep
and goats, showing that in many parts
of the West sheep are giving way to cat
tie. 1t is thought that the recent high
price of beef has been encouraging many
farmers and former sheepmen to 60 into
the cattle business, though it will be the
first time in the last five years that the
allowance of sheep has not increased
over that of the previous season. There
are localities, however, where the de-
mand for sheep range is far in excess of
the supply.
The grazing charges are slightly high
er this year. In the West the rates have
been fixed at 4S to 80 cents per head per
year for cattle and horses, and IL to IS
cents for sheep and goats; in the East
the rates are from S5 cents to $l.50 for
cattle, S1.10 to $500 for horses and 25
to 40 cents for sheep and goats. A
charge of 30 to 43 cents in the West and
so to 80 cents in the East, is made for
swine.
The grazing allowances indicate the
relative importance of the stock business
in the various parts of the West in which
the National Forests are situated. The
Forests in District 2, which embraces
Colorado, Wyoming. South Dakota, Ne
braska, western Kansas, northern Mich
igan aud northern Minnesota are allow
