The American Royal

At no time in the economic his
tory OF the country, unless it was
during the war period, has beef
played such a prominent part in the
discussion of bankers, farmers,
merchants and the public in general.
Not until war and drouth and adverse
conditions affected the beef cattle
supply did the nation wake up to the
fact that we might have to get along
on less than one-third of the beef we
have been in the habit of eating.
With these conditions prevailing,
and with general alarm prompting
the nations biggest bankers and
thinkers to meet in conference to
consider the future of the beef sup
ply of the country, the American
Royal Live Stock Show which is to
be held at Kansas City and the Stock
Yards, on November 18th to 10th this
year, takes on additional Importance.
Here will be seen the three leading
breeds of beef cattle-Angus, Here
ford and Shorthorn In addition to
the breeding cattle of these three
classes, there will be a car-lot show
presenting more than 5000 head of
Hereford calves from Texas, the kind
that goes to make beef and which is
bred from sires and dams such as will
be exhibited in the American Royal.
Thus will pure bred sires be con-
trasted at the Stock Yards at Kansas
City this fall with the scrub cattle,
and when the car-lot entries are sold,
farmers will see how much better
price well-bred stocker and feeder
calves will bring them than scrub
ones. This is the last year the
American Royal will be held in temp
orary quarters, as the new 100000
building in the Stock Yards will be
ready for occupancy for the 1921
show.

Last year 6,133 drivers and occup-

killed and injured at railroad cross

Appalled, by this terrible and need

hope of mitigating the crossing evil.
The observance of the following
simple rules would cut down crossing

Have You Given Your Part to the

chairman of the Divisional Advisory
Board of the Salvation Army, in Civ
ing a reason why every citizen should
contribute his individual share of the
budget.
He called attention to the fact that
every dollar given the Salvation Army
for use in relief and institutional
work is used by the Army for those
purposes and is not diverted to other
uses. Salaries paid officers and the
worker Of the Salvation Army come
out OF a fund raised by the officers
and workers themselves at street and

Tactful Handling of Skunk Makes
Him Valuable on Farm

Few persons have seriously con-
sidered establishing friendly relations
with skunk. 1t has been done in
some cases under the misapprehen-
sion that the animal was a cat, and
the results have been unpleasant. But
the Biological Survey of the United
States Department of Agriculture has
investigated the skunk and found him
to be the best wild-animal friend the
farmer has.
Almost any farmer might have 2 or
3 dozen skunks at work for him de-
stroying mice, grasshoppers, crickets,
and white grubs, and furnishing him
from $50 to 500 worth of fur a year.
All that is necessary is that he re-
spect their dens, keep his poultry in
skunkproof yards, kill an old horse
for them every fall, and be tactful
when he meets them in the evening.
There is a marked depression of the
fur market at present, but recovery
to normal is anticipated.
1t has been estimated that a years
catch of skunks in New York State is
worth s1,0OO,OOO. Only one-ffth of
them are black or short striped. IF
all were of this higher grade, they
would be worth 100000. The de-
partment suggests that a preserve
stocked with black skunks would
eventually double or treble the catch
of skunks in the territory surround
ing it.

The Vote in Kansa.

Organized Iabor's fight on Gov.
Allen failed to make a showing in
Tuesdays election, the Governor car
rying seyeral-even of the strongest
labor counties, though losing the coal
mining district. One inference from
the returns plainly is nevertheless
that workers, even in the mining dis
trict, in the privacy of the voting
booth are not dominated by Howat
and the tyranny of an organization
controlled by extremists and a violent
leadership. Even here Rpresent-
atives and Senators were elected
favorable to the industrial court act.
Miners have been intimidated by the
Howat machine. The secret ballot
shows more nearly their true senti-
ments. In the cities and on the farms
Gov. Allen received a great indorse-
ment.
No question has at any time exist
ed of the reelection of Senator
Curtis. He is strong at home, as he
is strong and popular in the Senate.
His majority this month is personal
tribute of confidence. The senior

Offers Promising Field for American
Live Stock

Live Stock
American purebred animals to the
value of 100000 were sold in South
America during the first six months
of this year, and livestock commits
sioners sent to South America to
develop the American purebred in
dustry in that country report that the
field is very promising. Even in out
of-the-way places where transporta-
ton facilities are poor pure-bred hogs
and high-grade and purebred bulls
have been found by the commission
ers. At Lavras, a town about $50
miles northwest of Rio de Janeiro,
there is an American mission college
whose farm contains purebred Duroc-
Jersey hogs and Brown Swiss and
Holstein cattle, the foundation stock
of which was imported from the
United States.
Most of the cattle in the State of
Minas Geraes, one of the important
stock-raising sections of Brazil, are
dairy stock showing considerable Hol-
stein blood. The cows are MIXED
once day and produce on an aver
age about three quarts of milk. The
commissioners are of the opinion that
this production could be materially
increased by better feeding and more
scientific handling of the cows.
According to reports received by
the Bureau of Markets, the outlook
for the future marketing of Amer
lean purebred live stock in South
America would seem to be particular
ly good, if it is properly developed,
and the commissioners are doing
everything possible to encourage the
business.

Bankers Will Conduct Nation Wide
Campaign


The banking interests have come to
see that if it is wise to advertise to
induce people to spend, it must be
wise to advertise to induce the people
to save and to invest. They have been
a long time settling themselves on
this idea, but they have done so at
last. The result is that plans are NV
forming for wholesale national adj
vertising campaign to induce the peo-
pie to thrift.
Back of the campaign there will be
a wider note-that of acquainting the
people with the great service of trust
companies and also of proving to the
people that the banks have an essen
tia1 place in the economical and
political structure of America.
The campaign may be slow in
developing but it has been decided to
conduct it. The idea is to avoid a
splash campaign, but to make certain
of its effectiveness. The committee
on Public and Private Thrift of the
American Bankers, Association has
this to say regarding the matter:
when the campaign starts no
banker should worry about how it will
work or about it's effect. 1t will
work"
There is certainty about this
language that spells the awakening in
the minds of financial men to the GER
tainty of advertising results when in
telligence is displayed in the use of
space.
Fred w. Ellsworth, vice president
of the Hibernia Bank and Trust Com
pany of New Orleans, is the moving
spirit in selling the Bankers Associa-
ton on the wisdom of such a move
ment.
eff one man can spend several mil
lion dollars year advertising gum, y
said Mr.. Ellsworth, cit seems to me
entirely feasible that 10000 banks
working collectively, and each con-
tributing an average of only $3.50
annually, can afford to spend $780,
900 advertising their banks.
''In the banking field, we have had
the age of Conservative Conserv-
atism, when the banker shut himself
in his vault-hke Office, and conde-
scended to do business with relatively
few people. This age was succeeded
by what can be called the Plain Con-
sentative Age when the banker oc-
casionally emerged from his mauso-
leum and actually associated with his
exclusive customers.
s'The third age was the Progress
sively Conservative. This marked
the beginning of the modern bank
building and the first appearance of
