Possibilities of troop action in event

event the president should order
troops to the coal mining districts, it
is practically certain that the national

that no intimation had come from Of

national guards would be called.
Should a serious situation arise, it is
probable that the guardsmen would be
used only in Kansas and would be
sent to the Crawford. Leavenworth

While Crawford believes that the
Kansas miners will promptly answer

rough census of Kansas cattle
shows a shortage of GO per cent in
grass fed animals. according to ]. H.
Mercer, state livestock commissioner.
in a statement in the current issue of
the Kansas Stockman.
"A careful survey of the livestock
situation in the United States shows
that there are 20 to 80 per cent more
sheep IN the country than in 1914"
Mr. Mercer said. Hogs have in
creased to meet the demand: but in
numbers there are 100000 fewer
beef cattle-a decrease of s5 per cent
since 1914.
million less cattle were received
at the ten principal markets in the
first nine months of this year, the
shortage at Kansas City alone being
nearly 20O.0OO-and it is growing ev-
cry day. Markets are short nearly 20
per cent. but cattle continue to sell
below cost of production,
THE popular theory has been that
the cattle were hidden somewhere and
the talk at the markets this fall is
that while they were short of last
years runs, they would come fast
enough when the grass gave out.
kansas cattlemen are now being
advised of the conditions in this coun-
try and will largely hold their remain
ing cattle for the better prices which
must ultimately come and the stocker
and feeder buyers have to pay for

Mr. Webb, and could find nothing at

Final reports of the teams now

The reason given for the postpone
