THE WORLD SHORTAGE
of LIVE STOCK

A census of cattle in France
reveals a decrease of II per
cent in beef animals, 38 per cent
in sheep and 40 per cent in hogs
since December 81. 1913. Italy
has suffered a loss of p per
cent of horses, is per cent for
mules, and s per cent for swine.
No one can even guess what the
decrease in Germany, Austria,
and Russia has been, but it must
be enormous. According to y re-
liable estimate the decrease of
live stock ip all Europe is equal
( to one-halfF the amount of live
stock in America today. This
estimate places the loss at 100,-
100000 head.

president and general manager, OF
the Pan Motor company, st. Cloud,
continued his testimony before the
state securities commission to deter
mine the financial condition and
prospects for success of the Pan COM
pany. Testifying further as to an al

big business, Mr.. Pandolfo said that
at one time brokers of many cities
advertised Pan company stock at less
than the regular selling price, but
that inquiries disclosed that they
had no stock to deliver.
Within Allowance.
A large commercial rating agency
once reported that the company had
produced no cars, he said, when as a
matter of fact more than $4,000
worth of cars have been sold. He
testified also that not more than rs
per cent of revenue from stock sales
was devoted to promotion expenses.
A number of advertisements of prod
ucts of the Pan company contained
stock subscription blanks, he ex-
planned, but other than this, the rs
per cent allowance voted him by the
directors has been used for salaries,
printing, advertising, establishing
agencies and other legitimate ex-
penses. ,.srr, -. 'e.'
