The Stock Show at Chicago.

If public interest in the Interna-
tional Live Stock Exposition was ever
justified, this is the moment Not on
ly is commercial live stock production
profitable to an unprecedented degree,
but the task of rehabilitating the in
dustry must be vigorously prosecuted
if the nation is to be assured of an
adequate supply Of meat.
Improvement of live stock is the
need OF the hour. AS cost of produc-
ton increases, breeders and feeders
cannot achieve maximum results with
the Inferior and mediocre grades Of
cattle that constitute too large a per-
centage Of the stuff now reaching
market.
1t is an accepted axiom that the
profit is in the gain. 1t correspons
with the motto of Transportation Spe-
cialists that the money is in the straps,

system must be abandoned.
The management of the Interna-
tional Live Stock Exposition is ex-
plotting an idea that is slowly gain
ing ground. Education is a proverbi-
ally slow process and progress is at
tanned only by persistent endeavor.
To insure maximum profits at minui-
mum cost in the sphere Of meat pro-
duction is the mission of the Interna-
tiOnal Live Stock Exposition. That
mission is primarily designed to bene-
fit the producer, incidentally it will
work to the advantage of the carrier,
the manufacturer and the consumer,
consequently it's success is desirable
from many angles.
From unitarian standpoint the
International Live Stock Exposition
which will this year be held from De-
cember to 9, stands in the front rank
of the Worlds educational institutions
and no farmer or stockmen can af-
ford to stay away.

The torpedo catcher was invented by

The inventor asserts it will absolutely

The catcher is an arrangement Of
