liver Message.

Washington, Dec. President
Wilson's annual message to congress.
which is to be transmitted to the sem
ate and house at noon tomorrow, was
completed today and sent to the pub
lie printer. There still was no infor-
nation as to its length or the sub
jectS discussed.
It develops that the president made
notes and then dictated it from them
instead Of writing the message on the
typewriter as has been his usual Gus
tom.
The president was described by the
White House officials as being strong
er and in better condition generally
today than he has been at any. time
since he was taken i'll. No successor
to Carter Glass as secretary Of the
treasury has been decided upon by
the president. it was said, but ap-
pointment Of a secretary Of COM
merce, vice William G. Redfield, prob
ably will be made within a few days.

Z. -. N al
league never has come up In the se-.

again and again at conferences held
In various hotels, Of the city. 1t has
been the suggestion Of chief of tho
convention where leaguers foregather.
anda the movement Is taking new
force each day The time is ripe for
change and LenkeS is said to have
recognized this fact. Evidently 1t is
getting harder to hold the leaguers
together. This Is shown by At, Incl
dent in the caucus the other night. "A
bill has been introduced In the senate
to provide $4,000, 600 bond issue
by constitutional amendment for
good roads. When this bill came up
for discussion in the caucus. Repre-
sentative Walker. who had been con-
lsidered speakership timber for the
next session, declared openly and
.forcetu1ly that II that bill went
through "he was through with the
league.", He said that they had gone
far enough with bond issues for the
present. s.
Townley himself has not appeared
at Bismarck and it may be that he
could change things as he has done
on other occasions.

IS LARGEST OF INDUSTRIES
statistieians Figure ln DIIIisns When They Make Computations Of
 Live Stock Duelnsea.

The live stock industry Is the iarg- est and, in more than one sense, the most important industry in the United States. Its extent, measured by the value of live animals. amounts to more than sS.00O Oo0.O00. Its im- portance rests in the necessity for live stock to consume the products of farms and ranges. 80 per cent of which, according to census reports, is fed to, live stock in the mainteaance of soii' fertility, which cannot hk kept up con tinuously and economically without . considerable number of animals as part of the farm system: in the tn- dispensable place which animal food occupies In the American diet. Of which 1t makes up 3s per cent, based on the average consumers food-ex- pense account; and finally, in the far reaching influence which the growing. fattening and marketing of live stock has upon the social and economic well fare of all classes of people, including producers, distributors. and the meat consuming public.
 The slaughtering and meat pack ing business is the largest manufac. turing industry in the United States, according to the United States census of manufacturers. The sales of live stock in the Chicago market alone to- tailed nearly s1 .0o0. 100000 in 1918. or over S3,000,000 day. and the daily sales at all of the centralized live stock markets of this country total close to $20,0O0,0O0.

EnoIand Harbors Ex-Queens.

England will soon be the land of five queens, potential and powerful group either in politics or poker. The figure resembles a misdeal. but It Is ex- plained by the fact that England has q queen and a queen mother, while there are in England the one-time queens of two other countries. They are soon to be joined by another, Elm press Marie of Russia. She and the two other foreign ladies are deep In unhappiness = three of the saddest queens, as an observer has remarked. in modern history. The two whom Empress Marie will join are Empress Eugenie and the queen mother of Por- tugal.
 These three women plainly tell the story of greatness One of them was driven from her throne and her son was killed fighting for another eoun- try; another was exiled after having been robbed of her husband and son. and her other son driven from the throne; the last was widowed and her son, her grandson and her grand daughters brutally murdered.

GOOD FARMS
 FOR SOLDIERS
No Intent to Place Them on Run Down Places or Unfer-
 tile Land
Secretary Healey Explains Support
 of Mondell Bill

Returned soldiers who desire to en- gage in farming will be interested in the statement of Leonard H. Healey, the secretary of the State Board of Agriculture, that the action of the Board of Agriculture in reference to the Mondell bill before congress did not mean that the board favored q proposition to place the soldiers on run down farms or to locate them on swampy unfertile land. Secretary Healey said there were in the state about 1000 farms where the owners for one reason or another-quite of- ten because their sons have no taste for farming-desire to give them up because of their physical inability to continue to operate them. These farms are in good condition and have comfortable buildings on them. There are in the state about 26,000 farms and the secretary thinks that about 1000 could be secured for the return ed soldiers who wish to make farming their life work.
 Secretary Healey has received from Cattle Commissioner Brigham of Vermont, letter in which the com missioner stated that the number of milch cows in the Green Mountain state is 5000 less than there were last year. MT. Healey said that while there has been gradual decrease in the number of milch cows in ConDec- ticut it is not as large as the decrease in Vermont. The number of milch cows in Connecticut at the present time was 2,00O less than the number a year ago and there were about l. 900 fewer steers and heifers. There were practically few local markets for milk in Vermont and the dairy men in that state sent nearly all their milk to Boston.
