one that has been considered by
the House so far The bill as In

the tax payers of the Common
wealth of Kentucky of $34 900,
with printing and other expenses
added, which would make the al
nual expenses at least $50, 600.
In order to pass this bill through
the House the Governor of the
Commonwealth had on the floor
of the House, so thick that the

WHEATLESS-MEATLESS DAYS
NOW SAID TO BE UNNECESSARY
Adjustment Recommended by Live

STANDARDIZATION of wheat
less and meatless days was recon-
mended to the food administration
today by state livestock associations
in the middle west, who met here
with Joseph P. Cotton, meat admin
istrator. Members of the associations
agreed with Arthur Meeker, of Ar
mour & Co., that the abstinence
from eating wheat and meat products
on specific days was an unnecessary
sacrifice.
Mr.. Meeker declared that shortage
now exists only in the supply of
pork. He said stocks of beef were
piling up in the coolers of packing
houses and that there was an ade-
quate supply Of beef and mutton on
hand to meet all demands without
decrease in domestic consumption.
Contrary to general belief, it was
said, exports of beef had not increas-
ed greatly during the war. A de-
crease in the use of pork and its
products, however, was urged.

MEAT INDUSTRY OF
COUNTRY TREMENDOUS
WE PRODUCE THE MOST AND
EAT THE MOST OF ANY MA
TON IN THE WORLD.
BIG SURPLUS IS MADE
FOR OTHER COUNTRIES, TOO.
A Visit to the Stock Yards and Pack
ing Houses of Chicago. The Last
Word in Efficiency. High Prices
and Their Cause.
BY Frank C. Carpenter.

CHICAGO-From this city of an
imals, in the heart of this city of
men, write of the meat industry of
the United States. This country is
the chief meat producer of the
world, and just now, when all the
nations are fighting, it becomes most
important as one of the great centers
of the food supply. Let US look at
all the assets of the nations and take
account of the stock now on hand. |
have before me reports from the de-
partment of agriculture giving the
latest statistics of cattle, hogs and
sheep for all parts of the world. They
show that we have now on our farms
100000 cattle, 68,00O,000 hogs
and 100000 sheep. These alone
are more than double the stock of
Germany and Austro- Hungary. You
might add the animals from Bulga-
ria and Turkey and the whole would
not nearly equal those of our coun-
try
In addition, our allies in Europe
have vast numbers of domestic ami
mails. At the beginning of the war
Russia had two and one-half times
as many cattle as Germany. The
number was 100000, and at the
same time it had about 43,0OO,000
sheep. 1t ranks as the fourth sheep
country of the world, its only supe-
riors being the United States, with
100000, and Argentina and Aus
tralia, each of which has more than
8O,000,0O0. We may fairly reckon
Australia with the allies, although
the meat has to be brought about
10000 miles in getting to Europe,
and the same is true of Canada,
which has something like 100000
or 100000 farm animals to aid
IN filling the stOmachs of the sol
dlers in France. At the beginning
of the war Germany had 2O,OOO,OO0
cattle, 100000 hogs and S,OOO,-
600 sheep, and Austria Hungary had
only from One-third to one-half as
many. On the other hand France,
Great Britain and Russia had at home
and in their colonies about 81 ,OOO,-
600 cattle, 28,OO0,OOO hogs and 2O2,- !
100000 sheep.

ers of the world Uncle Sam stands
alone. He is the Job of the twentieth
century, and, like the man in the land
of Uz, his substance makes him the
greatest of all the men in the east"
! He is the chief cattle raiser and own
er among the nations. Last year his
! livestock was estimated at a value of
So, 1892, 100000, or more than $4,000
per head of our population. This
referred only to the stock on the
farms and ranges, and outside of
that there was an additional value of
cattle, sheep and hogs which amount
ed to over SO per family. The whole
sale packing houses and slaughtering
establishments and the farms upon
which the animals are raised repre-
sent capital of hundreds of millions,
and it is estimated that Uncle Sans
whole meat producing plant is worth
In the neighborhood of S18,000,00O,-
600, or enough to give every Ameri-
can family 5000 worth of stock in
the company. This does not include
the receipts from transportation or
the retail trade.
The numbers of the cattle, sheep
and hogs raised here are so great
that if they were divided equally ev-
cry family would have three cattle,
two sheep and three hogs and there
would be many thousand little pigs
and lambs to spare.
AS consumer of meat the United
States also stands at the head of
the list. There are many countries
where almost no meat is eaten, and
it is said that over half the worlds
population lives upon food other
than meat. The nations which have
a surplus of meat for export are all
meat eating countries, and they are
comparatively few in. number. In
fact, the worlds export trade in
meat products is maintained by only
nine nations. 1t is from the United
States, Argentina, Australia, Cana
da, Denmark, Mexico, New Zealand, |
Uruguay and Russia that the worlds |
supply of meat is obtained. The en- |
tire production is estimated at about |
50,000,000,000 pounds per year, and |
this is consumed by the people of |
comparatively few countries 1t is di-
vided among a population of about |
00,000,000 and the average con-
Sumption per capita is just over nine
ty-three pounds of beef, mutton and
pork in one year. We Americans are
the biggest meat eaters on the globe,
with perhaps the exception of the |
Australians or the New Zealanders. |
We consume so per cent. more meat |
than Great Britain or Germany, and !
twice as much as the people of I
France. In 1900 we were each eat
ing on the average of 181 pounds of
meat per year, and, although this has
since somewhat decreased on account
Of the high prices, we still consume
more than ITO pounds of beef, pork
and mutton for every man, woman
and child in the country. The last
census has estimated that over 49,
00,000,000 pounds of meat and
meat products were consumed here
in 1909, while less than one-half of
hat amount represents the consump-
lion of Germany for the year 1918.

HALIBUT FISHERMEN
 HEAVY LOSERS JUNEAU

JUNEAU. Sept. Hive thousand dollars worth Of iced halibut, snapper. salmon and cod lies on the Juneau wharyes routing for lack of steamer space to transport it south. Tester day halibut boats sold their cargoes for ten and one eigh11 cents in expec- tation that the fish could be iced, box ed, and shipped south on the Farra- gut yesterday noon.
 The Farragut refused to take the fish for want of cargo space, and an appeal made by the freezer men that enough canned salmon be unloaded to make room for the iced fish went unheeded
 The question of getting the iced fish from Southeastern Alaska ports will be presented to the Merchants Protective Association Not only was the Juneau shipments left on the docks to rot but Douglas. Petersburg, and other ports were equal sufferers.

For more than two years they have been under cannon fire almost con. stantly. Nearly all of them are wounded and maimed Some are blind, some have hands and limbs torn away and the majority of them are deaf from the constant roar of big guns
 Living like rats under the ground, scarcely ever seeing sunlight, except at long intervals, their eyes are weak and their nerves broken down.
 Almost insane, most of them have been transported to places far from the battle lines. where kind women are gently coaxing them back to health and sanity But most of them, doc tors say, will be affected for the re- mainder of their lives.
