SCARCITY OF LIVE STOCK

For some time now It has been
apparent 10 those who have given
the matter thought, that the country
is threatened with an alarming
shortage in live stock--especially
meat producing animals, though
horses and mules are also showing
shortage.
When the war in Europe first be-
gan, il was suggested by our agri-
cultural department that our farm
ers and stock raises devote great
err attention to increasing the num-
Der Of meat animals. II was point
ed out that the large foreign de-
mand would make great inroads in
our supply. This was the result,
but not all the result. The stimu-
lated demand caused prices to soar
to abnormal figures. These prices
in turn caused all who had stock
to push them onto the market at
the earliest moment, with the result
that thousands of head Of stock
went to the butchers when it should
have been kept on the farms.
Stock buyers inform us that for
the past years the average weight
Of hogs especially has steadily de-
elined, due to the fact that the
heavy feeders have been practically
exhausted and the lighter animals
are being pushed ente the marie: :!.c.. =
AT meeting Of food administra-
tors Of number of States recently
it was the unanimous decision, af-
ter surveying the situation careful
ly, that concerted effort must be
made to increase the breeding of
hogs and cattle, and each State
represented in the conference was
given its per cent. of increase to be
attained.
But it is right at this point that
the difficulty is encountered. The
high prices have not only caused
the immature animals to be sacri-
feed but thousands of valuable fe-
males have also been slaughtered
which should have been kept on the
farms. There is not a particle OF
doubt that the country is alarming
ly short of breeders.
There is but one remedy. Nc
owner of hogs or cattle should sell
or kill females capable of repro
ducing their. kind. This should be
made an iron clad rule on the farms
and ranches of this country fol
some time to come. Certain it is
that if the past, or even the present
rate of consumption of females is
continued for another twelve
months, the country will face some
thing little short of meat famine
4
We are meat-eating race. But
meat must be grown, and the ami
mails must have dams. The only
way to insure the supply us to con-
serve the females. This will have
to be done, even at the risk of even
higher prices than now prevail.
And, as prices now range, this viii
be no sacrifice to the farmers, but
rather a source of greater revenue
as all will see if they will look al
the matter in the right light.

THE GIRL THAT | LEFT BEHIND
Contributed BY local soIdier.)

Darling, when am far away
From you, somewhere in France,
7 ask you to always think Of me,
And pray that have chance.
To leave you, Dear, was hard,
The hardest thing Of all,
But I am no Stacker.
When hear my Country's call.
To be at home with you, Little Girl,
It's happiness that's true,
But cannot see the Germans
Down the Red, White and Blue!
I'd like to be with you often,
These beautiful happy days,
But now It makes me blue to think,
That l am so far away.
Some day in the far future,
This conflict viii end,
And the Soldier Boy that loves you,
Will come to you again.
'Tis duty of every girl,
Who is left behind,
To always think of the boy she loves
Who is on the firing line.
He did not want to leave you,
For he is going to risk his life,
He Is a true American,
And upholds the Stars and Stripes.

Those lips of yours so sweet,
That | was going to- leave you.
And again we may never meet.
Don't give me up, My Darling,
II you love me you will wait;
II we don't meet on earth again,
We will meet at the Golden Gate.
Some girls are not so patient,
Who will not wait so long
Will go and LOVE a STACKER,
When their soldier boy is gone.
When he gees to fight his battle,
For his Country and for fou,
His heart is always resting,
On the one he thinks is true.
When he returns in years to come,
And finds that you we're false,
His whole life will be ruined,
And his happiness is lost.
Do not hear this strain, little girl,
Make your Love be true,
Greet the boy in khaki,
When he comes marching back to you
Throw your arms around him,
Let him kiss your sweet little lips,
And he will joyfully tell you
All about his wonderful trips.

LOYALTY

When all is done and peace has again,
And all the gold and blood and tears are spent
And thru the street, our battle wearied men
Come marching back they proudly went
Can all of you who stayed perforce behind,
Quite safe from bullet ayonnet and shell
Show to these men clear and guiltless mind,
Or must you cover thoughts you shame to tell?
Can you, then, say to them who have not uuailed
At what tho Hun could do on land sea,
"ln all these months my faith has failed
or ceased TO speak of victory he
81 never entertain thought of dread
Nor lost my trust in triumph over there
Nor sighed, shrugged shook the hopeless head
Nor spoke the craven word Of black dispuir?
oh, when they ask you you truly say,
with that calm gaze that meets then eye to eve,
81 never feared that Wrong could win the day
Nor even dreamed that Right could die?'
Friend, in that holy hour when peace is here,
Can you, ask, hold up your blameless head
And know your record clear, your conscience clear.
Or must you shrink from what you have said?
In wars hard days our hearts understand
And we must learn the lesson, every one,
That he who fears liz traitor to his land
And he who doubts is partner to the Hun!
