The cattle markets OF the country

cows have lost much OF their popular

Reports indicate that the quarantine

while weight and quality In combina.

tell the story OF popular demand. Con-
sumers are calling for small packages.
Pork fills the bill both as concerns

cattle and sheep as suit the retail

distributor have added their expense,
plus profit. consumers are required to
pay stiff prices for the product, and as
q relief measure they endeavor to cut
down the cash outlay. The trend OF

cannot AFFORD to ignore the fact that
early maturity Is the keynote OF the

ATTORNEY INTERRUPTED
BY DRUNK'S SNORING

While Attorney q. X. M. Collier was
reading a very dry document In an
equally dry case In Judge Mandells
court, Tuesday morning. he was inter
rupted by q healthy snore from the
back of the court room. II was not
only a snore. Il was q snort, and In
the quiet surroundings the sound was
magnffied. Mr.. Collier stopped read
ing, peered over his glasses and re-
sumed, when the snore was repeated.
The court ofiicer traced the sound to
an inebrfate In one OF the rear "pews,"
who had drifted into court looking for
q cory spot TO sleep on his "jag."
A few hours earlier, Deputy Sheriff
William Range encountered q young
couple In the corridor of the third
floor Of the county building. looking
for some one to marry them. Both
were the worse for liquor and the
woman was smoking cigarette.
The deputy escorted them to the
main entrance, headed them down the
steps and told them to keep right on
going.

There are $4,000 troops assigned
