MORE CATTLE.

It wasn't long ago with the high price of meats occupying the attention of the whole country. that the claim was made that it was the result of the decrease in cattle raising, that the production had not kept up with the consumption and for that reason the supply was not equal to the demand. In recognition of that situation it was urged that more attention oe devoted to the raising of cattle, and from the report which has been given out by the secretary or agriculture it would appear that there had been an appre- ciable response.
 According to Secretary Houston's statement our domestic production of meat was 5000, ,000.00 pounds greater in 1916 than in 1914. The cattle in the country the first of this year num- bered a million more than it did a year ago while nilch cows showed a gain of 500. .000.
 This gain is not sufficient to make the supply equal the demand but it all helps nevertheless. It shows that the proper response is being made, and that the number of cattle is on the increase instead of declining. While the supply has been boosted it must be remembered of course that the population of the country has been increasing all the time and therefore the demand is greater today than it was two years ago. The increase in meat production is more than enough to overcome that. however. and from the interest which has been awakened in this direction steady improvement car be anticipated. It will require some time to get the production up where it belongs but progress is being made in the right direction.

might, not unlikely. have reached Cornwall and Scilly.
 f'The origin of the name is wrapped in doubt. The islands were called by the Greeks Hesperides and Cassiteri- des; but the attempt to identify them with the Cassiterides of Herodotus is no longer ma (. By Solinus they were called Silure3: by Antonius, Sig deIes: and in several of the Tower Records they were known as Sully or Sulley-whfch Heath suggests may be derived from inSulae. The islands are said by Solinus to have been dis covered by Hamlico, Carthaginian. belonging to a Phenician colony in Spain.
 Tt has been asserted by some his- torians that the ancients engaged in the tin trade in Scilly; but the slight evidence of any large deposis of this ore nthat vicinity has led others to believe that these writers made Corn wall a part of the Cassiterides. Pliny says that lead was first brought from these islands to Greece by Madractitus.
 '"The first mention of Scilly in Eng fish history was when the islands were subdued by Athelstan in the have granted the islands to the monks; and in the reign of Henry I there were granted Osbert, Abbot of Tavistock, "all tr churches of Sully. with their appurtenances and all the lands as the monks or hermits held in the time of Edward the Confessor and Burgald. Bishop of Cornwall.'' Various trans- fers of title took place until. in the reign of Elizabeth, the islands passed to the GodoIphin family, in whose pos session they rested until 1881, when they were transferred in lease-hold to the most famous of all Anglo Saxon families, the Smiths.
 Recognizing the strategic value of the islands, Elizabeth caused to be erected on St. Mary's a fort known as the Star Castle in 1893, an eight pointed structure with guns in em- brasures. This is one of the chief sights of Scilly. During the Civil Wars it was a place of Imprisonment for some and of refuge for others. In J645 it was the temporary asylum for Hopton and Capel. In 1649 Sir Richard Grenville fortified here and held the islands for Charles II. Parliament find- ing their trading vessels much an- moved by Grenville's frigates, sent Ad- miraI Blake and Sir John Ayscue to take the islands. Admiral von Tromp offered his services to Grenville. who refused them surrendered and was de- livered up to Parliament.
 "In earlier days the islands were i'm fested with pirates and smugglers. while many of the inhabitants picked ID a living as wreckers. It was on Gi1ston Rock that Sir Cloudesley Show eI perished with eight hundred men in 1707, ana in the graveyard of St. Mary's repose the bodies of 311 Vic- tirns of the wreck of the Schiller. in 1875 So treacherous is the sea In these parts that there is an old pro- verb that for every man who dies

FARMERs AND TIE pEER.

There can be no surprise that the farmers of this state are opposing any change in the law relative to deer They will agree with anybody that the deer are pretty animals, that they make an attractive picture as they browse on the countryside or leap over fences and stone walls, but they can also present a long list of complaints regarding the amount of damage which has resulted from the encour- asement lent to their propagation.
 The mistake was made when the closed season was placed upon deer
 It resulted in the state being overrun with thousands of those animals, the cost of supporting which fell upon the farmers. This was not because the farmers wished it so but because they could not help themselves. Their fields and gardens were the natural feeding ground for the deer and inasmuch as che farmers have thus been to the ex- pense of raising the deer it is but proper that they should have the op- portuntty to kill them as protection to themselves.
 ed that relieves the drain upon the tanners crops. To enact a law now which will result in an increase of the deer will only invite a return of the conditions which necessitated the re- moval of the protective law, and if shere is to be made an open season when everyone can hunt deer, 1t means an increase in trespassing which can hardly be expected to be wei comed by the farmer. Thus for sev- eral reasons it Is easy to understand why the farmers are opposing any change in the deer law and doing So within the bounds of reason

Reply to Mir. Main.


 NIT. Editor: In reply to MT. Main in regard to "The High Cost of Liv- ing:''
 First-He says, Labor unions are responsible by asking more wages than their members are worth and more than the business people can pay and prosper considering the work they do.'' Farmers love told us that a profit can be made on potatoes at fifty cents a busheI. Are not farmers asking far more than their labor is worth. then, when they invariably seek to get eigh- ty-five cents and a dollar bushel for potatoes, and take advantage of an unusual condition of the market to ask four dollars bushe1? Which is certainly much more than it cost to produce them All statistics show that the increase in price of goods is out of all proportion to the increase of be charged with "The High Cost of Living" In fact increase of wages usually follows and never overtakes increase prices of other commodi- ties
 Second.-Why should men work on better wages and better living con ditions in the city And as the farm CT is getting more for his product why cannot he pay higher wages
 ThiId.-Market Speculation, which he seems to think is the least factor, we should consider as probably the largest factor. Every person is in a sense a speculator. trying to buy as cheap as possible and sell for as much as possible regardless of peal value, or real cost of production.
 We fully agree with MT. Main that, NO man should receive for his labor any moro than he is actually worth, '' and we believe no less. We believe the laborer should receive the full value of the product of his toll.

BUSINESS HEADeEAR.

The business girl is particular about her hats-or she ought to be. Her headgear is apt to be n tel1-tale evil dence of what sort of business woman she is. The kind of business girl who selects a pale pink taffeta hat trim med with little silk roses for office wer is, not likely to be the business girl who is advanced to a responsi- ble and high salaried position. Yet the business girl may wear very smart hats-as smart as she can af- ford They should be hats of simple lines and little trimming. In shape they may be very chic. but they should never suggest huffiness or "dressiness'' at least to the masculine eye.

This makes a heater finish than cutting and also saves the mating for use in a different shaped room.
