TEXAS PASTURES
GOING TO WASTE

Fort Worth, Tex, Aug. 17.-Tcxas
cattlemen are facing very serious
situation. which has its bearing on
the country's beef supply, due to their
inability to get loans, according to
A. c. Williams, assistant secretary OF
the Cattle Raiscrs' association of Tex
as He said that the money stringen-
cy was bringing about the depletion
of existing herds and preventing the
building up of now ones
Moro good pasturagc is going to
waste in the cattle country than for
many years" Mr.. Williams said.
Range conditions in Texas and else
where have been ideal for the past
year and prices, though unsatisfactory
have not been an actual loss to the
stockman. The relatively low prices
prevailing have been in goodly meas
urc a result of the inability to obtain
credits.
THE present financial situation.
however, following on the heels Of
severe droughts in both the southwest
and northwest Is bringing about re-
duction Of the cattle population which
must in the end mean mounting beef
prices and nation wide economic loss.
loss.
'On a recent trip through the west
Texas and New Mexico, | had occasion
to observe that many pastures were
unstocked, or thinly stocked and in
quiry developed the fact that owners
were anxious to stock and had plenty
of security but could NOT obtain loans.
MANY cattlomcn whose ranches
were stocked were being compelled
to Eluidatc and thousands of cattle
which should normally be used FOR
breeding or at least for development
into finished beef, were being sold for
slaughter
"Thc sheep raising interests Of the
San Angelo county are even more SER
iously threatened than the cattle in
terests. This is due to the financial
stringency. and is having It's bearing
on the cattle situation.
"Thc principal factor in the sheep
mems problem, however. appears to
he the virtual withdrawal OF the wool
buyers from tho market. The wool
crop this year in the San Angelo ter.
ritory is estimated at Between eight
and nine million pounds.
Comparatively little has been mar
keted because the buyers, having
comfortable stocks on hand are not
offering anything like a fair price"

Champaign, Ill.,. Aug. l1.--Pioneel
work in engineering done by the en-
gineering experiment station of the
University of Illinois has resulted in
an admirable record of achievement
according TO IA statement OF results
made public here today. This eX-
! pertinent station was the first Of it's
| kind to be organized and ii is now
entering on its eighteenth year.
One Of Illinois industrial leaders
t Is quoted as saying recently that the
coal Investigations of the station and
the results obtained promised to be
worth more to the state and the ma.
tion than all the appropriations the
university would get in the next 100
years
The engineering experiment station
was established to stimulate and to
elevate engineering eduStion, to
study problems of special Importance

manufacturing, railway. mining and
other industrial interests OF the state.
and to render available the knowl-
edge thus obtained through the pub
location of bulletins
"Probably none of the contributions
Of the station has been more import
ant than those dealing with the
strength and properties of engineer
ing materials and OF structures" it
is said at the university. "A great
variety of investigations in the field
,f .,L
been completed have been of tremen-
dOus assistance in connection with
the design of reinforced concrete
structures.
"Other important information has
been published ooncerung the be
havior of beams the bond between
concrete aud steel characteristics of
concrete columns, and the behavior
of reinforced concrete slabs.
"A number of important bulletins
dealing with the strength of materials
has been issued, such as the strength
of chain links. The methods for the
design of chains is therein recon.
mended are now in general use, The
strength and stiffness of steel has un-
dergone months of investigation from

Of marriage, happy and unhappy. and d.
vorce, but have yet to SEQ any one writrnR
to point out tho way TO have an ideal mar
rlage.
The Ideal marriage 10 built upon three
important principles, The drst-the least
poetic, but very essentiai--is the financial
factor. Two men cannot enter into busi-
ness partnership unless they hrst agree
upon a working basis. Each must orins
to tho firm valuable ideas or experience
which will result In financial success, else
disaster Is sure to follow Neither can a
man and woman take upon themselves that
most important responsibility Of life part
nership unless each is able to bear q snare
of tho burden and help work out tho prob
lem.
The second point Is mutual love and re-
spect. Love must be built upon the solid
rock Of respect with a framework OF un-
selfishness and forbearance, IL II Is TO en-
dure. man and woman do not cease TO
be individuals because they become husband
and wife. The qualities which attract Will
not disappear with the blessing OF the min
lister. but are likely to develop and grow
stronger as the years 60 on. Theretore we
should look for the graces ana virtues
which will impart strength and sweetness.
But as no human being Is perfect, there
must be tolerance, generosity and forpear-
ance toward tho failings Of each other
Thlrd-and, to my mind, most Vltai-is
true friendship. Human love Is not the
creature of human will: therefore II does no, %
follow because two people fall In love
that they are going to be congenial' we
see all through life mothers and daughters
who love each other tenderly. but who can
Dos agree: or brothers who would hght ior
each other, but are more likely to hsht WIT wltn
each other vocaly. whenever they attefnp'
| to discuss n question. Companionship ls tne
common ground of interest. and for a man
and woman to live an ideal married ile
they must have that most vital OF all.
