b|G LIVE STOCK CONVENTION T0
 MEET IN DENVER
Most Important Session Of American National Live Stock Association Expect
 ed During Jan. 21 To 23


 The twenty second annual conven- ton of the American National Live Stock association, will be held at the Broadway theater, Denver, January 21, g and g, 1918, opening at o'clock p. m., on January 21.
 This will be the most important live stock convention ever held. Postwar readjustments will vitally affect the live stock industry. During 1919 our exports of meat products will undoubt- edly be as large as during 1918, but there is a decided difference of opinion as to the volume of our exports during 1920 and thereafter. Whether there should be an increase in the production of live stock is the one big question confronting the live stock industry. This problem will be discussed by speakers of national reputation. Another subject for consideration IS the proposed advance in grazing fees on national forests. Many stockmen en- certain the view that this increase IS not justified by the conditions on the 1 forests and the value of such grazing. Officers of the various advisory boards on the national forests throughout the west will be present, and there will be 1 lively discussion of this advance. l important Bills Pending. 1 The continuance of the work of the 1 food administration, and the control of our exports of meat food products and prices for livestock, is a paramount in- terest to all stoclkmen and will be thoroughly discussed.
 The license of the packers, live stock commission men and stockyard con- panies, the advance in commission charges, and other related matters will receive full consideration.
 | There are now two bills pending in | congress, one in the senate and the other in the house of representatives l embodying legislation designed to ef- | fectuate the recommendations of the federal trade commission on the meat industry. Hearings on these bills com menced on December 19, 1918, and after several days of evidence were postponed until January s and 9. This legisla- tion will be of immense profit to the live stock industry. The market com- mittee of the American National Live 1 Stock association will report as to the needs and prospects for this legislation | Everyone will be given an opportunity to discuss it.
