NEED BIG HERDS
Europe's Meat Supply Must Come
 From America.
Warning Nations Have Depleted Live Stock at Enormous Rate, Eve1
 Killing Dairy Cattle For Food.

American stock breeders are being asked to conserve their focks and herds in order to meet Europe's tre- mendous demands for meats during the war and probably for many years afterward.
 The United States food adminis- tration reports that American stock raisers have shown disposition to cooperate with the government in in- creasing the nations supply of live stock.
 Germany today is probably better supplied with live stock than any oth- CT European nation. When the Ger man armies made their big advance into France and then retreated yir- tually all the cattle In the invaded territory - approximately 1,SOO,OOO head-were driven behind the German lines. |.
 But in England-where 2,400,0OO 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, $1776 per 100 pounds; October, SIPS i; November and December, $160S; Jan lary, $14.40' 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 we'll 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 12,- 341, 300, a decrease of 16.6 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 Ad- ministration 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.

GOLD IN FRANCE.

Paris, Jan. 23.-The flow of gold into the Bank of France was given a fresh impetus by the third war loan. After reaching more than 100, 100000 fl ancs week during the early stage of the campaign and gradually declining to little over a million, the receipts went up again to more than two millions. The total gain to the banks gold reserve since the be- ginning of the war now totals 2,25O,- O0O,0OO francs, bringing the reserve up to 5,351 100000 million francs without recourse to any other than persuasive measures.

BRITISH GOVERNMENT
 HELPS PAY FOR BREAD

There has been much misunder- standing about the bread program in England It is true that the English man buys loaf of bread for less than an American can, but it is poorer bread, and the British government is paying $2o0,OO0,000 a year toward the cost of it.
 All the grain grown in Great Brit ain is taken over by the government at an arbitrary price and the imported wheat purchased on the markets at the prevailing market price. This is turned over to the mills by the govern ment at a price that allows the adul- terated war bread loaf of four pounds to sell at IS cents, the two pound loaf at cents and the one pound loaf at 5 centS
 In France, under conditions some what similar, but with larger ex- traction, the four pound loaf sells for 16 cents.

 A stranger knocked at a mans door and told him of a fortune to be made. "Um!" said the man, "It appears that considerable effort will be involved" "Oh, yes," said the stranger, "You will pass many sleepless nights and toilsome days" "Um!" said the man. "And who are you?"
 "I am called Opportunity" "Um-" said the man. "You call your self Opportunity, but you look like hard work to me-" And he slammed the door. The stranger called at the next door, and repeated his story. Come in," said the man, interested in the prospects of wealth. The stranger entered and remained, for he had found man who was willing to pay the price of success. To him Opportunity was welcome guest, for whom his door was al- ways open.

We met a guy that wasn't Garfielding worth a durn about 10:30 Don't know how he did it, but this fellow had gotten all heated up some way, and he didn't have a stove hanging on his arm, either. And the only grouch he car ried was against the sidewalk, which was too slick for him, even if the man who watches suit cases wasn't. We don't know whether he was from Poplar Bluff or Memphis, but he was warm and friendly until we ask ed him if there was room in his little heaven for a news hound. There's where he kicked. No news.
