CUPBOARD BARE OF MEAT
WILL BE FOUND

st. Paul Daily News: Within
a year this world will be an old
Mother Hubbard so far as meat
in the cupboard is concerned.
About 100000 cattle III tbs.
eastern provinces Of France have
been taken by the enemy which
explains in a. measure why the
meat supply in Germany is
held up. The flocks and herds Of
Belgium, and they were consider
able, have been wiped out. Meat
production in Great Britain is at
low ebb. Italy has never been
"a heavy producer and is not inn
proving. Austria has depleted
her supplies. The armies are
eating up the stores Of frozen
meat, and millions of men who
have never had the habit Of a
meat diet are getting it, and it
IS a habit not lightly put away.
The world will insist on eating
after the war is over. And live
stock supply isn t built up in a
single season. The meat-eaters
will have to turn to America, the
Argentine and Russia, the herds
Of which are not much affected.
The man who can't see future
bull market in meat ought to
take something for his eyes.

The 500 Line has a force of
men planting trees along the
right of way. These trees are
to be planted forty feet on eacn
side of the track and are to take
the place of the unsightly por-

The trees will add to the scenic
beauty Of the road and it is fig
ured that after three years at
tention the trees will be able 20
take care for themselves. The
innovation is looked upon as a
money saving proposition.
