GOOD COWS DOUBLE

Indications Point to Great
Improvement in Affiliated
Industries and Lines.

CHICAGO.-The livestock industry
has set the pace for agricultural re-
adjustment and indications, are that
"it will continue to exert dominant
influence in the return of business
to normal conditions, according to
quarterly report issued Thursday by
S. b. Stafford, president of the Chi
cago Livestock Exchange.
Hog values are on sound basis, "
says the report, continued light sup
plies may he expected. Even the
heralded ovcr-supply next winter will
hardly materi;slize because of the enor-
nous losses the spring pig crop has
sustained.
High Sheep Market.
"a high sheep market all summer
may be expected on account o. mea-
gre supplies The shortage is gen.
eral throughout the county but most
acute east e the Mississippi river.
Cattle should sell at higher levels
We are on the verge of a scarcity
of beef producing animals that would
have become acute before now had
not the depression caused an increase
in marketing at the same time it cur
tailed consumption demand. The ap-
proach of warm weather improves the
outlet for beef. The only liberal sup
ply Of cattle now is apparent will
come from Kansas and Oklahoma
pastures. Texas and the range coun-
try are Ia. short of their normal
quota. Aged western cattle no
longer exist Distillery fed steers
will be missed for the first time this
year.
East Need Cattle.
"The east has been emptied Of cat
tie by local slaughter houses during
the period of high freight bills on
shipped-in supplies.
THE faith Of the producers In the
future of the livestock industry is
shown by their active demand for
breeding animals. Good cows have
doubled in value since last year and
now are bringing $50 TO $50 a head
in the west.
During the first quarter Of this
year, the hog market established a
record by advancing at the height of
the packing season. a period usually
attended by sagging values. Lambs
have been selling at the highest
prices realized since the war market
of 1920.
Demand for Feeders.
"The lower grades Of cattle have
moved up sharply in response to an
active demand for feeder cattle. Hog
and sheep men have profited by the
upturn in values. Margins Of 81 and
81 between buying and selling figures
on feeding steers have netted the
farmer more for his corn than he
could have obtained from the elevator
"Since the turn of the year, live
stock has been pulling the farmer out
of his predicament.
1.-THE situation is full of promise,
for a profitable future. Every indi-
cation points to an increasingly profit
able livestock industry and with it is
bound to come gradual improve
ment In grain trade conditions

Harriet was introduced. A momeu
later a boy with a tennis rackei
dashed up to them, and there was Q
scattering In the direction OF the
courts. The girls surrounded the boy
and streamed away chattering. The
matron in yellow came back to hef
card table. And Harriet, unfurling
her parasol, deep in conversation with
the captured soldier, sauntered slowly
after the tennis players. The after
noon sunshine sent clean shadows
across the clipped grass the stretched
blue silk of Harriet's parasol threw a
mellow orange light upon her tawny
hair and saffron colored gown.
Richard had child's desperate
wish that he was dressed, and might
run after them.
But 1t was not at the tennis that he
looked, twenty minutes later, when he
reached the courts; although q bril-
liant play was being made, and there
was a scattering Of applause. His
eyes instantly found Harriet's figure;
she was still talking to the French
man, whose olive face was glowing
with interest and admiration, and not
more than eight inches, Richard
thought, from her own. Harriet's own
face wore the shadow of smile, her
lashes were dropped, and she was
gently pushing the point of her closed
parasol into the green turf. The
chairs in which they sat had been
slightly turned from the court.
Richard engaged himself In CONVEX
sation with two or three men and
women who were watching the young
sters' game, and presently found him
self applauding his son for brilliant
ace. But after perhaps FIVE minutes
he walked quite without volition,
straight to HarrIet's neighborhood,
and she rose at once, introduced her
new friend, and with a glance at her
wrist, announced that she must go.
Ward said he would drive me home
The instant 1t was over" said Harriet,
,lapping heartily for the triumphant
finish of the set.
'I'll drive you homer Richard said,
"Tve the small car"

aiding the way to the line of parked
otors.

lrelessly. And reaching the little
