Sixty-six out Of every one hun
bred persons who die in the Unit
ed States leave no estate what
ever. Less than six million Ameri-
ear families own their own homes.
One person in every ten who dies
in our large cities is buried in a
pauper's grave. The foregoing
figures are from goyernmnt Stats
ties. Surgeon General Gorgas, who
made the Canal Zone habitable, in
a public address said: Physicians
have located the great cause of
general i'll health in poverty. A
great many people need to be
taught to have a thought Of the
morrow and to deny the mselves
$25 hats and $40 shoes and 5000
coats. Poverty is directly attrib-
utable to the great American habit
of unthrift. Thrift enables families
to own their own homes. The sale
of Thrift Stamps, War Savings
Stamps and Treasury Savings
Certificates is the one move in
America to encourage thrift Let
the good work go on.

Improved railroad conditions were
responsible for break in live hog
prices. Shippers have sought TO un-
load the bulk of their porkers. fore
ing unusually heavy runs into the
various stockyards. especially the
principal western centerS. The
flood Of stuff brought about de-
clines, prices holding within a mar
row range. Fairly good buying gave
the trade moderate support, con-
sidering the volume Of receipts.
While the recent break in cattle
prices reduced the supply 10 some
extent, Colorado and other points
have shown a tendency TO loosen up
and get all the cash possible. Eastern
demand in the face of comparatively
small receipts on some days gave
the market temporary support. Fur
Their decline in prices does not seem
improbable. The better grades of
cattle alone have shown improve
ment.
While heavy runs Of sheep and
lambs weakened the market at
times, light receipts on other days
effected some improvement. Fat
stuff was in better demand, while
feeder stuff ruled low. Rural TAX
ing are not expected to show any
decided Improvement until after the
first of the year
