West Virginia is setting a pace in
the drive to rid the country of scrub
bulls and thus increase beef cattle
production and dairy production.
Since the bull is more than half the
herd, the drive was made against him,
rather than against the female. With
in a few months, West Virginia ex-
poets to have her live stock stables
cleaned out of scrub bulls. BY Oc-
tober there will not be scrub bull in
Roane county. To Roane goes the
honor of being the first county to Ego
over the top" The campaign in Roane
county was mapped out by the State
live stock specialist of the West Vir-
ginia University, the county agent
and the officers of the Roane County
Farm Bureau. The clubs of the farm
bureau were solidly back of the
proposition and the results of the ener-
getic campaign are proof of the effect
of full cooperation.

Bright Outlook for Cattle.

On account of the cattle market
not responding in the early spring
months of last year, there will be few
err cattle put on fed the coming winter.
1t is my opinion that we have not seen
our high time for cattle, and even at
the present prices cattle fed small
ration of corn through the winter will
show a handsome profit in the spring
and summer months off of grass.

New fronts have taken the place of
the weather beaten, familiar "show
windows" and entrances of the former
saloons, and as a result the appear
ance of the locality has been improved
Neighboring stores have felt the infiu-
ence of the new establishments and
also have "spruced up" In many
cases, according to the realty men, the
rentals from the new establishments
are higher than those paid by the
saloons.
The predicted slump in realty values
forecast as an aftermath of prohibit
ton has not materialized in New York
City according to leading real estate
operators. In districts where num-
Der of saloons were closed they have
found, they said, that in nearly every
instance the saloons have been re-
placed by either a restaurant, mems
furnishing store, drug store or cigar
shop.

The rent was to be paid in two equal
installments at sour City of St. Mary's

ONE of Baltimore's leading hotels,
the Emerson, has just announced a re-
duction of Is per cent in the prices
of food in its dining rooms and has
also reduced its rates for rooms by a
dollar to a dollar and a-half per day.
Let us hope that this means a break
generally in the extortionate rates that
hotels in the larger cities have been
charging their patrons. One curious
thing about the American people is
the apparent willingness with which
they offer themselves as easy marks
for greedy hotel-keepers and their
submission to this form of robbery.
Can it be that the reaction is coming
and that the people are rebelling
against the rapacity of city land lords ?

Discussing 1.-THE Problem of the Pacific"

thinks that Puget Sound would still be
British if England had appreciated its i'm
portancc and press her claim more In
sistently.
The story is that one Capt. Gordon OF
the royal navy was sent TO observe and
report upon the probable value of Puget
Sound to Great Britain. "The Captain
went ashore TO make a supreme test. He
wanted to see if the salmon iii those
waters would rise TO his flies. They de-
ciined the British flies; and because they
would not rise he reported against the
country" thus losing for the Dominion OF
Canada and the British Empire one of the
finest harbors in the world.
To show how far from autocratic were
the original ideals animating the senti-
mcnt for German unity among the Ger
man people, the author quotes this re-
markable statement from Hermann Fer
nau's latest book: ut is strange that the
song Deutschland iiber Allies was first
sung in Hamburg, on the occasion of a
manifestation in favor of the liberty Of
the press V.
Ii is manifest that the future of the
Pacific is largely dependent upon the
political and social welfare of Australia;
and Mr.. Fletcher recognizes that there has
been grave cause for disquietude on ac-
count Of the radical tendencies of strong
element in the Labor party of the Com
monwealth. He is confident, however,
that the counsels of wisdom will ultimately
prevail in dealing with the perplexing
problems that beset his country. and the
Pacific will he blessed with the peace that
It's name imports.
His book is a most helpful contribution
to the understanding of an important
subject. 1t is a curious fact however,
that in such work there should be no
mention of the interests of South America,
although the Pacific Ocean washes the
western coast of that continent from the
Isthmus Of Panama TO the Straits of Ma
gellan.

Will recall the gorgeous lines Of Alfred
Noyes describing what happened
When on the highest ridge of that
strange land =
Under the cloudless, binding tropic blue,
Drake and his band Of swarthy scamen
stood
With dazed eyes, gazing round them
They had halted upon the verge of an m
discovered world of waters of whose cx-
istenee the earth they knew had given
them no hint.

What lay beyond the ridge. Only they
heard
Cries of the painted birds troubling the

And shivering through the woods; till
Francis Drake
Plunged through the bush, took hold upon
a tree,
The tallest near them. and clomb upward,
branch
By branch.
And there as he swung clear above
Tie steep down forest on his wonder
dering eyes,
Mile upon mile Of rugged, shimmering
gold,
Burst the unknown, Unreasonable sea.
Then he descended; and with new voice
Vowed that, God helping, he would one
day plough
Those virgin waters with an English keel"

lem Of the Pacific is serious, as such
book should be, it is diversified by anec-
dotes and incidents illustrative or explana-
tory of the particular matter under dis

reference TO the German submarine cam
paign that brought us into the war at
last, but he makes conspicuous slip in
stating the United States formally de-

OF the general results of the wear 1917
Doyle says: at is certain however, that
this year marked the period in which the
Allies gained a definite military Assem-
dency over the German forces, in spite of
the one great subsequent rally which had
its source III events which were beyond
the control of the western Powers"
Doubtless he means the Russian stu
alton by this, but With Lloyd Georges
famous speech after the German drive of
March, 1918, began sin fresh in the
memory this reviewer feels that Conan
Doyle is trying TO shift the blame TO
shoulders other than those Britons who
stood out so long against a united COM

the Allies.
