(By Associated Press)


WASHINGTON, Aug. 22.-Denuncia,
ton and defense of the big Five"
packers, their methods and alleged
control of the preparation and supply
OF foodstuffs were mingled in approx.
= imately equal proportions before the
Senate Agricultural committee Thurs
day, as witnesses, discussed the Ken
yon bill, which proposes to license
the concerns and to deprive them OF
refrigerator car and stockyard IA
cilities.
Henry w. Lynce, representing stock
raisers and their association in Cali
fornia, led the defense, while Louis
H. Haney, of Jacksonville, Fla, ap-
pearing for the Southern Wholesale
Grocers' association, made a direct
and unqualified attack on the packers
and their activities.
Denies Efficiency.
The packers growth and strength,
Mr.. Haney asserted. was due not to
their efficiency, but to their financial
power and their control Of the refrig-
orator car service, which accords
them the privileges of a common car.

sponsibilities."
They now have rs per cent Of the
wholesale grocery business in the
United States, he said, and were tend
ing toward monopoly. The wholesale
grocers' interest in the situation, he
said, paralleled that of the public
because the temporary policy of the
packers in underselling jobbers of food
and commodities would be abandoned
whenever they attained practical mo-
nepoly.
Mr.. Lynch said that 1.-The packing
industry represents the selling end OF
the stock raisers' business. When you
demoralize or hamper that-as this
bill does-you hurt us.

Trout explained that although they
had many men who stoutly opposed
suffrage in the first place their con-
verts were many.
And Senator Penrose like Senator
Lodge had had his mind made up
against women's right for a good many
years. You know Senator Lodge told
me that he made up his mind forty
years ago and hadn't changed it since.
It seems possibly marvellous that a
man could keep his mind Theoretically
sealed for forty years, doesn't it?
Another senator said that women
should be placed upon a PEDESTAL that
their fairness and beauty should not
be trampled upon. You know. have

Romance Weaved
In Cattle Brands

different from that of other ranehmen
else the brand would fail of its pur-
pose. So in the latter days the letters
we're finally all taken up and the neces-
sity for individual and unique brands
has led to many a strange device.
Many Novel Designs.
For example, there is the "Spur"
ranch, the Turk Track" ranch. the
"Tumbling X" OF the Lazy "" Every
ranch has its principal brand, and
some have many others. Ranch own
ers, who trade extensively, and are
constantly acquiring cattle with differ
ent brands, have a number of inslgnias
on record. Often the ranchmen's sons
and daughters have their special
brands and the dedication of a new
brand is not an unusual form of cele-
brating birth on the range.
Among the peculiar brands is pig
pen. which means a square with its
sides extending to form the exterior
angles. Crescents are common. Only
one ranchman has a Ratchet for a
brand.
A bow and arrow gives a name 70
one big Texas ranch. L. ]. Kimber-
Inns ranch had a crutch on the hip
and a coffee pot on the side. The
coffee pot design is not so intricate as
one might imagine, consisting of only
eight lines.
Wine glasses are not uncommon as
a brand and the J. W. Friend Cattle
company in Crochet county had a
gourd. A rocking chair is the brand
of the Fl. B. Opp ranch in Sutton and
Menard counties.
Lee Brothers had for their brand the
graceful fleur de lis. Anchors are
common. but only the John w. Franks
ranch in the Usage reservation boasts
of the Swastika.
A hash knife, a hat, the Masonic
square. a key, turkey track, a bell,
crossed walking sticks, an hour glass,
a tree, boot, a slipper, a flag. an
apple, a flower, ladders, rakes, spades,
fence, a doll baby, a cotton hook, a
fishhook, bottle, bride bits, a frying
pan, pitchfork and even a comet may
be seen among the long list of brands.
A "scuple" indicates that the ranch
owner was a druggist before becoming
cattleman. Hearts, diamonds and
clubs are found among the records of
