An Imperial Footman-There a man
at the gate who says he's tailor and
that he wants to see your majesty.
The King-Explain our constitution
to him. Tell him that all bills for
revenue originate in the lower House,
and point out that on account of a
vicious bipartisan alliance of all the
traitors in the kingdom I'm kept so
short of money that l can't possibly
afford any new clothes.
The Imperial Footman-He didn't say
anything about money, your majesty
The King-Well, l won't give him q
bealo down and bealo a week either.
Tell him to wait until I've got clear
title to the pianola.
The Imperial Footman-What he said
was that he had valuable gift for the
most enlightened ruler in the world
The King-Well, why didn't you say
so in the first place? What was the
use of keeping me waiting? Send him
up right away. exit the Footman.)
The King (speaking in the general
direction of the Leading Republican,
Fortunately, my fame rises above petty
slanders. The common people, they
know me and they love me.
The Leading Republican-They love
your simplicity, your majesty, your
lack of ostentation, your tractabiity.
Enter the Tailor.)
The Tailor-I have come far Jour
ney to see your majesty.
The King-I am honored
The Tailor-For long time l have
been Journeying to find an enlightened
sovereign, sovereign who was fitted

he was not in Pannonia or in Gamar.
You are my hope, majesty.
The king-I trust this may indeed be

Europe's Meat Supply Must Come
From America.
Warning Nations Have Depleted Live
Stock 1T Enormous Rate, Eve1
Killing Dairy Cattle For Food.

American stock breeders are being
asked to conserve their flocks and
herds In order to meet EurOpe's ire
mendOus demands for meats during
the war and probably for many years
afterward.
The United States food admins
tratlon reports that American stock
ralsers have shown disposition 10
cooperate with the government in in
creasing the nations supply of live
stock.
Germany today is probably better
supplied with live stock than any 9th
er European nation. When the Ger
man armies made their big advance
into France and then reti Gated vir-
tually all the cattle in the invaded
territory - approximately 100000
head-were driven behind the German
! lines
But In England-where 2400,000
acres Of pasture lands have been turn
ed into grain fields-the cattle herds
are decreasing rapidly. One of the
reasons apparently is the declining
maximum price scale adopted by the
English as follows: For September,
S17.76 per 100 pounds; October, SIPS;
November and December, S160S; Jan
larry, S1440. The effect of these prices
was to drive beef animals on the mar
ket as soon as possible.
In France the number of cattle as
well as the quality have shown an
enormous decline during the war
Where France had 14,S07, 900 head of
cattle in 1913, she now has only L.,
341, 900 n decrease Of lG.6 per cent
And France is today producing only
one gallon of milk compared to two
and one-half gallons before the war
Denmark and Holland have been
forced to sacrifice dairy herds for beef
because of the lack of necessary feed
Close study of the European meat
situation has convinced the Food Adj
mInlstration that the future problem
of America lies largely In the produc-
ton OF meat producing animals and
dairy products rather than In the pro
ductiOn Of cereals for export when
the war will have ceased.
