Equalizing Your Beef Buying By JEAN PRESCOTT ADAMS,

How many times have we heard our contemporary home managers bemoan the fact that there were only four kinds of meat animal to choose from! This idea of lack of variety in fresh meats is all because of the unsound and un- interesting habit of buying the same cuts over and over again.
 There are with the skirt steak and hanging tenderloin 14 distinct cuts of beef, each responding to a particular kind of cookery and offering an op- portunity for distinctive seasoning. In addition there are even several differ ent cuts to many of these 14 regular cuts of meat-there are several styles of seaks, but how many have used the delicious flank steak, clod steak, skirt steak, or chuck steak?
 We want lower prices on our tender meats, but every housewife with a

LIVINGSTON

Livingston, Juno 13.-(Special.)-T more wildcat stills captured and two more prisoners in the county jail was the result of another raid by Sheriff Davis and Deputy Joe Patton late Friday evening. John Abrahams and Martha Eaves, negroes, according to afficers were operating in the same neighborhood about six miles south of Livingston.
 John Is said to own the eighty acres of land on which his still was located, The officers brought in the outfit, along with a half-barrel of mash and destroyed two barrels on the premises where found. The still is on exhibition on the streets of Livingston and many of the oldest citizens say the first one they ever saw.
 For the first time this season the weather for the past ten days has been perfect for farm work and crop pros poets are decidedly better, especially corn. Fields have been cleared of grass and corn is growing splendidly with good stands and fine color.
 Reports of boil weevil continue. Never as many known on cotton so small John M. Hawkins, a prominent farmer in the Bluff Port neighborhood, is paying cent each to have them caught by hand by ne- gro children and reports having paid, for l, 400 weevls caught on 20 acres of cotton and still catching

Weekly Cotton Review
By Associated Press


 New Orleans, June 13.-The range of prices in the cotton market last week was narrow. the most active months working between limits of 5S to 72 points. This was mainly due to the decided change for the better in weather conditions and the refusal of the market to decline under the im- provement. more or less of a deadlock resulting. The highs and lows were well scattered over the week. At the highest the trading months were 63 to S7 points over the close of the pre- ceding week and at the lowest they were to 29 over. Closing prices showed net gains for the week of s9 to 56 points. July closed at SS.46c, which compared with Al cents as the closing price on middling spots. Prices remained unchanged the week through in the spot department.
 Warm and dry weather prevailed throughout the week in the cotton belt and it was evident at the end of the period that the crop was doing much better as a result. although the only private bureau report on condition of the week put the percentage at 65.S,
  of only IS points. The better weather conditions aroused no selling power, while a moderate amount of buying was stimulated by continued com plaints of boil weevil damage, in- creased talk of abandonment of acre. age and the bullish twist taken by statistics. The feature in this direc- tion was the decrease for the week in the visible supply of 115,S76 bales, against an increase this week last year of 50,192 bales, bringing forth predictions that within the next few weeks the visible supply would be smaller than 1t was a year ago. At the end of this statistical week the visible of American amounted to 36O6,S64 bales, against 3,452,231 a year ago
 This week the market will open on census bureau figures from American mills for May and the returns on con sumption are expected to be bullish, one forecast being 2,000 bales. In May last year consumption was 4SS,- 000 The weather is bound to attract a great deal of attention and the claim on the bear side is that the trade will not be able to ignore improvement in the crop if it proceeds much further. Another thing that is likely to be played up is the receipt of the first bale of the new crop, which is ex- pected around the 20th of the month. The bear plea is that the crop Is not so late as it is held up to be with ex pectatons of the first bale at that date.

 IN RESOLUTIONS

Montgomery, June 13.-(Speclal)- Resolutions commenting Dr. Spright Dowell, state superintendent of educa- tion, for his efforts in behalf of edu- cation in Alabama and regretting his retirement to become president of the Alabama Polytechnic Institute were adopted by the state board of educa- tion at it's closing session Saturday.

New York, June 13.-(Special.)- )-Al. though 1t was commonly reported that the financial district has been mark ing time, awaiting the nomination at the Chicago convention, nevertheless, other announcements made it clear that financing upon large scale was not marking time, but was in success ful advance upon the day the Chi cago convention met. At almost the exact moment when the chairman of the national republican committee, Will H. Hays, was calling the con Vention to order announcement was made that an issue of s15,000,0e0 of equipment trust certificates of the Southern Pacific Railway Company had been fully subscribed. In fact, it was only few moments after the subscription books were formally opened that 1t was stated that this for mality might have been dispensed with, for these S15 0oO 900 of equip- ment trust certificates had already been completely absorbed.
 This financial item of itself may not be deemed of any special impor tance. It was, however, highly signifi- cant, emphasizing, as it did, the change in the relation of the investing public in securities and at a time of political excitement. It also made clear that important finance is not procrastinat- ing awaiting the action of the presi- dential conventions Therefore, it is said to be a fair inference that other large financing operations will be sue cessfully negotiated during the sum mer and the fall. This may be taken to mean that the great public, which has money to invest, is persuaded that the presidential campaign, the candi- date and the issues, will not be of such character as to make 1t neces- sary to delay important financing. In other words, the public seems to have remained confidence in the future.
 The observation is made that the public seems to favor investment for equipment trust certificates, and there seems to be no doubt that the railroad companies which are seeking fresh capital in this way will be able to se- cure the funds of which they stand in need. It may be, however, that few railroads whose credit Is not high will be compelled to turn to the gov ernmeut for assistance. Aid of that kind Is made possible by utilizing the fund which was created by the Esch- Cummins bill.

WEEP FOR THEll

Asa a diSutcrcstcd bystander we weep or tbe Republicans of Douglas Island rbc candidate that thc- majority of them .o,cd lor ror Republican National Com- 1tcgmm was defeated by the rest of AL ska. We weep again Co think that they were such poor judges of human nature as vote for thc one they did.
 The primary election just past was per- lap, tht bittcrcst contest ever wagcd m hc Territory All the bitterness was m- cctcd into thc campaign by one faction rm, faction was headed by man who uav h. am A'askm but who is what we would call seasonal one. He comes to Alaska ro try to reap a harvest and then goes hack Co Seattle to enjoy the fruits of that harvest
 Among tbc Democrats this year an was harmony Just mc little discord9ut note was struck when Ike Sowcrby of Juneau
 flung his hat into the ring and made a con- fest between himself and F.. A. Heath of Kocmkon Heath was really the party choice. but i is likely that Mr. Sowcrby win beat him out for the position
 One thing that was brought vividy to our mind, during this primary was the fact that more than fifty per cent of Alas kaus have not yet fathomcd the direct pri- mary law. For the past several weeks we have in person and through the columns of th.s paper been trying to explain that the election of Tuesday was mot real election in most instances, but just simply nomm- atiou.
 Election day md election evening we mot men. aud women, too. who wcgc wild- eyed with excitement over the race being made by friends for positions where there was absolutely uo contest. as there were just enough candidates nominated for the positions. They insisted that it was a real election mJ that the Republicans were winning hands down just because the dcm- ocrats dij mot find it necessary to vote.
 Left to themselves Alaskns rarely make mistakes. whether their politics are Democratic or Republican, and we arr of tlc opinion that m this instance the best interest, %. Alaska were served in their choice of National Committeeman.
