WESTERN CATTLE MEN
 MEET AT SALT LAKE CITY

Practically every livestock associa- tion dealing with range problems will meet at Salt Lake City to discuss the present federal control of grazing land and to improve conditions generally with reference to the unoccupied west ern land. This is one of the biggest problems before the livestock breed- CTS of the West. A lot of experts, some of whom are familiar with the Eastern section, have been investiga- ting Western conditions. The practi- cal breeders who have weathered the storm and felt the touch of the drouth covering period of many Impressions is in better position to give sugges- tions with reference to the manage ment of Western grazing land. These men are familiar with the West and are permanent fixtures. The Arizona Association has taken the lead. The American National Livestock Associ- ation is lending it's assistance along with other big organizations of the West. There are too many heads con- nected with the management of the unoccupied land. If the breeders will get together and formulate a better system, which the lawmakers can put into final operation, much better re- suits can be expected.-The American Breeder.

IN WOOL
 HELD SINCE DECEMBER 31

Wool in the hands of dealers March 31, 1919, shows quite a decrease since December 31, 1918, according to the quarterly wool stock report issued by the U. s. Department of Agriculture through it's Bureau of Markets. They held 53,000,000 pounds less grease wool, 5,000,000 pounds less secured, 100000 pounds less pulled than on December 31, 1918. The holdings, tops, and noils remained about the same.
 Manufacturers, however, show an increase in stocks held. This indicates that manufacturers are taking on the larger percentage of the wool offered at the government auctions and appar- ently hold an optimistic view toward future conditions.
 Wool held by the army and navy on March 31, 1919, including wool afloat to this country was as follows: Grease, 238, ,911 ,000; secured, 35,457 ,0O0; pull ed, 13,104,0 ,000; tops, 2,322,000.

Why Navy Blue.

The blue color so prominent in the uniforms of almost all marines Is of hoary origin. Vegetins, in his fifth book on the military affairs of the Ro- mans, traces the origin of this color to the Veneti, an ancient people dwell- Ing near the coast of Biscay and well versed in seaynanship. It was custom ary among them to paint their outgo- ing ships as well as the masts and sails with blue color; also their soldiers and sailors wore blue uniforms. Ac- cording to our author, the Latin word "venetus," which was both the name of the color and that of the people. points to its origin. From the Ven eti the custom was adopted by the Ro- mans. Thus the son of Pompeius. af- ter defeating Caesars fleet in a naval battle, wore the navy blue, although entitled to the purple. The veneti were subdued by Caesar after se- were maritime war in .56 B. c.

DEPARTMENTS HIRING
 FASTER THAN FIRING

Illuminating figures on how the government is "economizing" is shown by a recent official report of the United States Housing Corporation. These figures show that the govern ment added 416 employees to it's cleri- cal force in Washington in the week ended April 26. This represents net gain in the number of persons put on the public payrolls in a single week. Tn the week mentioned, 1,0s4 persons left the service or were discharged but 1,500 new clerks were appointed.
 The fact that this is being done by various executive departments at a time when there is widespread demand for economy, is the cause of the ut most complaint by members of the new Congress. Both in the house and senate appropriations committees the feeling is deep-seated that this sort of thing can not go on.

VARIED "voIcEs' OF FROGS
Man Who Has Studied Subject As serts He Can Tell Different
 Species by the Notes.

The first vertebrate creatures to succeed in producing vocal sounds were the amphibians, and, although there has been little variety in their individual repertories through the ages, they have diligently cultivated their powers. Dr. Frank 0verton, in an account of the frogs and the toads of Long Island, describes their dis tinctive calls and songs. The common toad of Long Island has "a combina. ton of low whistle and a moan" 1; the common toad of the mainland ut ters "a sweet, thrilling whistle"; the spadefoot makes a squawk "like the groan of deep-vOiced man who is having his tooth pulled"; the chorus of the cricket frog "heard at a dis tance sounds like jingling of small sleigh bells" and close by Hike the rattle of small pebbles poured upon cement pavement" The common tree frog utters loud, musical trlll, and now and then note exactly like the sound make by a hen turkey that Is calling to her mates." The spring "peeper" whistles shrilly; the leopard frog says "croak" very slowly, fin an extremely low-pitched bass voice.; the pickerel frog makes a soft sound like "a gentle musical snore"; the wood frogs heard at a distance "sound like flock of barnyard ducks chuck. ing, not QuackiDg'; the note of the green frog resembles that made by plucking string on a harp or bass violin" The bullfrog has voice that fin volume corresponds to the size of his body, which is more than eight inches long. The sound resembles the believing of bull" Doctor Overton can pick out the species by their voices and the notes.--Youth's Com. panion.

OUTLOOK FAVORABLE
 FOR THE WOOL GROWERS

Prospects are bright for wool grow CTS of the West, according to report of the Department of Agriculture. Wool in hands of dealers March 31, 1919, shows quite decrease since De cember 31, 1918.
 Dealers held less of principal grades than on December 31, 1918.
 in stocks is shown, indicating they are taking on large percentage of wool sold at government auctions, which points exclusively, it is said, to their optimistic view of future conditions. There is every incentive for each farm to own it's flock of sheep, especially where the grower can get the advan- tage of grading in bonded warehouses as operated today.

Keeping a Diary.

Every once in while we read of men who have kept diaries for years and years-since babyhood or longer.
 What weird idea to be locked up in that relentless manner with the past Only of course they don't really. They say they did, but they lie about 1t.
 We saw one of these diaries once. Six months of it were filled with two entries repeated over and over: Saw Nay" Did not see May" The last entry was, Married May"
 That was the only sensible diary we ever saw, and we haven't doubt in the world that 1t was all faked up afterward' to jolly along May.--Los Angeles Times.

CARPET WEAvERs OF INDIA
Hard to Imagine Work More Monot- onous Than That in Which They
 Pass Their Lives.

Carpet weavers of India work in a long, narrow shed, straw-thatched. without any walls, open to sunshine and the fitful breeze that stirs the swaying plumelike leaves of the sen. der palm and cOconut trees rearing their tall. proud heads above it. Four or fve or even more boys sit on wood en boards on the mud floor in front Of the old-fashioned loom, their feet resting in a shallow pit underneath 1t, dug especially to receive them. In one corner squats man, his back probably turned to the weavers, his eyes dreamily gazing into space or quite shut, drOning: Three magent, tw6Fgreen, five blue, one orange" and so on. His sleepy sing.song sounds, to one unfamiliar with his language, like the babbling of one talking in his sleep, or like muttered prayers. But he is neither dreaming nor per forming his devotions. He is dictating to the boys at the loom the colors of the thread that each respective work CT Is to twist about the particular strand on which he Is working. The lads obey his commands as mechan- ically as if they were automatons. None of them knows aught of the scheme of the carpet, nor is any of them conscious of the progress that is being worked out on the other side of the carpet from that on which the weavers gaze.

KANSAS CITY WEEKLY STOCK MARKET REPORT

KANSAS CITY STOCK YARDS, May 24.-Trade in live stock this week developed an irregular trend in prices. Hogs sold into a new high record position on Tuesday, top $21. 10, and then broke 50 to 60 cents. Cattle prices were strong on Monday, but sagged sharply Tuesday and did not show any rally later in the week. The sheep held about steady, and spring lambs and brush goats advanced 25 cents.

 Beef Cattle
 Liberal receipts of cattle Tuesday, 13,500 here and 21,000 in Chicago turned prices for beef steers down rather sharply. The decline was 25 to 40 cents, and no strength developed late in the week. Demand for beef seems to have narrowed considerably, and demand shows no expanding tend ancy, as prices for fat cattle recede. Some of the best cattle of the season were offered, and top prices for the week were higher than last week. Col orado steers weighing 1,547, sold at $17.50. Nebraska steers up to S17.15 and Kansas steers up to $17.35. The bulk of steers that went to killers brought S13.50 to $15.50.

 St0ckers and Feeders
 Early in the week thin cattle re- mained firm but are closing lower. This is due largely to the advanced season and the fill in cattle. Feeders are quoted at $1150 to $15.75, stockers 5000 to $15.50, and stock cows and heifers s1.50 to s11.O0.
 Hogs
 Receipts of hogs this week were larger than some time past, and the market after reaching a new high record position on Tuesday turned down and today prices were 5 to 10 cents lower than a week ago, and 50 to 60 cents under the high time on The top price today was s20.55, and the bulk of the hogs sold at $20.00 to S20.45, on Tuesday the top was S21.10 and bulk of sales s2050 to S21.00.

SEES FUTURE FOR THE COW
 BUSINESS IN ARCTIC COUNTRY

SEATTLE, Wash, May 2S.-Great plains lying along the Arctic coast in northern Alaska and Canada soon may become Americas latest "cow coup- try" as Gov. Thomas Riggs, jr., of Alaska, and Vilhjalmur Stefanson, the Canadian explorer, are advocating the transplanting and developing of herds of musk oxen into the now barren lands of the far north.
 A dispatch received here from Otta- wa said the Canadian government may adopt tSefanson's proposal that an experimental station be established on Melville Island, which lies in the Arc tic west of the mouth of the Macken- zie river Stefanson says there are about 4,O00 oxen on Melville Island.
 Herds later would be moved from Melville Island to the Canadian main- land for breeding and slaughtering, according to Stefanson. Laplanders probably would be secured as "cow- boys" to handle the herds.
 Arthur Meighen, Canadian minister of the interior, is favorably impressed with Stefanson's scheme, it was re- ported. Stefanson recently went be- fore the Canadian parliament and told of his scheme for domesticating the oxen. He suggested that reindeer also be imported.
 Alaskans interested in the musk oxen proposal have circulated peti- tion in the north addressed to Con- gress asking that the animals be ob- tained from the Canadian Arctic Isl- ands and transplanted in northern Alaska. The Alaskans point to the fact that the government about 20 years ago introduced 1,2S0 domestic reindeer into northwestern Alaska. Under Eskimo care these herds have increased at the rate of doubling in three years.
 Musk oxen if developed in the north will furnish meat, milk and wool. They naturally are cold weather an- imal and can well stand the rigors of the northern climate, it is claimed.
