Coming at this time. the signing OF

II the new agreement indicates
removal of many OF the causes of diff
ference between Sweden and Russia
II means considerable victory for the
diplomacy of the allies. for Sweden at
the outbreak OF the war was almost
the only country in the world which
could be said to be pro German.
There was considerable German sem
timent in Holland and Switzerland and
more in Bulgaria, but Sweden was

OF the war their sympathies naturally

The reason for this distrust Is TO be

since the days when Charles MI. of
sweden and Peter the Great OF Russia
fought for the domination OF North
eastern Europe. Peter conquered much
of Sweden's territory on the eastern

Dirty Money

THE District OF Columbia has a recent?
enacted Law providing that pawnbrokers
may charge only per cent month on loans,
or twice as much for such accommodation
as the law allows ordinary banking opera
tons. To eyadethis law certain pawnbrokers
have established headquarters across the Dis
trict line in Virginia, with Offices in Washing
ton. and borrowers are accommodated by
this subterfuge. making their applications in
Washington, but getting the money actually
from Virginia
Business which prospers by evading rea-
sonable law is dirty business. Money which
is accumulated by such methods is dirty
money. The District officials arc beginning
a campaign of indictment against such
evaders of the law TO determine whether sharp
methods can be permitted TO render useless
such provisions for the public welfare as seem
warranted by circumstances. Every good
citizen will hope that the authors of the sub
terfuge are vigorously dealt with. The Ques-
sion AS to whetheri. / peE cent month is
a sufficient allowance. for pa wnbrokers is not
at issue. The question is Shall loan sharks
and pawnbrokers be permitted deliberately 10
set up machinery whose sole purpose is TO
defeat the Will OF the community in which
they operate? If they can do this, then they
are greater than the law, greater than the
courts, greater than the country. That is an

The Catalo

The cross breeding of the buffalo and
the domesticated COW has resulted in
the production of the "catalo" The
catalo has been in existence long
enough to justify the prediction that II
may alter the character Of the slaueh-
tering trade The great problem In
meat producing is feed. The Western
ranges do not supply cattle with sum-
Client food, salt or water. Range-bred
cattle have, as rule, to be fattened in
the corn belt, and then sent to the
packing house. This process involves
much delay and a large expenditure of
money. Tho catalo is believed to meet
all difficulties. 1t is immune to an as.
tonishing degree from disease and Ia
hardy. The meat is Of fine texture and
firm quality. Seventy per cent more of
the catalo's weight than that OF the
ordinary beef animal can be sent to
market. In the plains. when billiards
sweep down on the herds. cattle perish
by the thousands. The catalo, thanks
to its buffalo ancestry. turns toward
the storm and lives through it, 1t has
the buffalo's. or. more properly sneak
ing. the bison's hump, and this fur
nishes fine quality OF roast. The aver
age catalo provides about $50 more
pounds OF beef than the average DO
mestic beef animal. The cost Of herd
ing is comparatively little. Reproduce
ton has made the catalo a common
sight in some parts Of the Southwest,
and breeders are enthusiastic oyer the
outlook.
