The Beef Patriots

By J. Stitt Wilson, in Denver
Express.
Well. then for the facts.
The years 1914 and 1915 saw
the greatest market for beef in
the nations history.
Nevertheless hundreds of farm
ers and cattle feeders have gone
10 the wall. and thousands have
lost heavily. In Iowa, the great
est OF cattle states, % average
feeders declare on oath before the
Interstate Commerce commission
that their loss averaged Sl9.32
per head OF the herds.
Meanwhile the consumers in all
the land have been paying exor-
bitant prices for beef and all
meat products.
Producer on the land and con-
-umer in the city are being
filched.
Another side OF the picture.
In 1914 the feeders lost an
average OF So a head. That
same year Swift X CO.-packers
after declaring the usual divi-
dend OF millions show a surplus
OF $1,000. 900
In 1915 the feeders lost Sl2
per head, and Swift X Co., show
a surpluse above dividends OF
$3.50. 900.
Armour Il Co., show for 1915
net earnings OF $1,000. 900 as
compared with -, 800. 900 for
1914, while the feeders were don
bling their losses as indicated.
Armour X Co., and Swift 4 Co
are only two Of the Big -Four
that control the livestock mar
ket and dictate the price OF beef
| for both producer and consumer
The Big Four practically con
troll the stockyards OF the Miss
issippi valley and their interests
cover the nation.
They control the terminal ia
yilities at these yards.
They control the slaughter and
distribution OF cattle, sheep
hogs and poultry.
They control hides, tanneries,
etc, articles made from horses
and hoofs-glue, buttons, combs,
etc.
They have a determining hand
in the price OF fertilizer.
They largly own and control
the refrigerator ears and icing
facilities used in the transporta-
ton of fruits, vegetables ana
other perishable products.
They are it in food supply.
Let us now all join heartily in
singing "The Big Four; or How
the steers jumped the moon"
"Hi-diddle- -diddlel The cat $ in
the fiddle
The steers jumped over the
moon,
The Big Four waXed fat
The feeders went fiat,
For consumers it was a great
boon"

Memorial Day Observed In

Wednesday, April 26th, was
cloudy and cool during the morn

school children attended by their
teachers and bearing wreaths and
clusters of white Flowers. the vet
Grams in automobiles of all kinds and
the ladies of the memorial associa-
ton in handsome new cars. There
were two boy scouts with drums lead
ing the childen.
After the graves were decorated
with flowers Prof Sanford of the
state university made the address Of
the day in the courthouse. The
rostrum was profusely decorated
with red and white bunting, Con-
federate flags, portraits of Robert T..
Lee and other leaders of the south
ern army, and two immense vases
of snow balls. Seated with the speak
er on the rOstrum were Dr.. jameson,
who led in prayer, Dr.. Patton, who
dismissed the audience, Hon. Her
bert Clay who introduced Prof. San
ford in a characteristic and felici-
tOus little speech, state senator f. T.

Mrs. John M Graham then made 2
little talk explaining briefly but
clearly why compositions ON topics
of war history are rewarded by the
4. d. G. She then bestowed the
prize for the best essay by a Mari
eta High School pupil on Recon
struction Days in Georgia" upon Miss
Pauline Manning.
Prof Sanford has acquired so
many titles since he taught school
in Marietta that Herbert Clay. who
had been one of his pupils, intro
duced him simply as Steadman V.
Sanford, who is claimed by Mariet-
ia as one of her boys. His wife was
a Marietta girl Miss Grace McClat-
chey.
Prof. Sanford won the interest of
even those who do not know him in
prefacing his address by saying he
had refused an invitation to Licking
ton, Va, when he received Mrs. A.
S. Clay's cordial request that he
come over on memorial day because
Marietta still claims him and where
he had spent so many happy days.
Ills address was in beautiful and
poetical language and he paid tri-
butes to the southern soldiers and
their leaders saying the tactics of
confederate generals are being usei
now in the European war. He also
mentioned very tenderly the devo-
ton of southern women to their

ENDORSEMENT GIVEN TO
CANDIDACY OF HUGH MOORE

Prof. J. Hugh Moore, who has
been principle of the TayIorsville
High School during the sessions of
l9li-l9l5 and l9l5-l916, has, in
our opinion, proved himself to be
one OF the ablest educators that have
ever taught in this part of the State,
measured by any correct educational
standard. The work that he has done
in the school at this place, stamps
him as a man Of superior gifts, at
tainments and thoroughly qualified
for the practical handling of educa-
tional Problems
The advancement Of lis pupils has
been rapid and thorough and his en-
forccment Of discipline has been
sucn as to win the admiration of
trustees and patrons generally.
We, the trustees and patrons of
the Taylorsvillc High school, most
gladly endorse him as a gentleman
and scholar, and are confident that
in what ever capacity he may offer
or choose to serve the cause of edu-
cation he never will be found want
ing in these qualities of mind and
heart that always insure success.

The Aylesbury stands at the head
of the domestic races of ducks bred in
England, probably because of its rapid
growth and early maturity. 1t was the
first white domestic duck bred, for
merly known as the White English,
and in the early part of the last CEN
tury it became known as the Ayles-
bury.
1t originated in the vale of Ayles-
bury and this district bears the same
relation to London as does Long Is
land to the markets of New York
City The difference, however, lies
chiefly in the methods of rearing, and,
as q rule, the English duckyards are
smaller.
The AyleSbury ducks have an al
most horizontal carriage; males weigh
nine pounds and females eight pounds.
The plumage is white, free from tints

flute notes like a forest alive with

woman raised her head and began

There was a storm of applause as
she ended with a clear high note, and
then the singer came back again and
sang a cradle song. The words were
simple, but Helen could set a room at
rocking 1t as she crooned the melody.
1t was truly wonderful what an
amount of feeling this small person
could evoke.

don't you?" said Anne as Mrs. Billy

Mrs. Brown colored charmingly.
