CATTLEMEN RECEIVE THoUs ANDS MORE BY MARKET
 NC cO-OPERATIVELY

TUCSON, Dec. 19.-Buyers in San ta Cruz County offered a cattleman , MT. H., $32.00 per head for his
 three-year-olds and s25 for his twos
 Having only few threes, he sold
 them, but decided to stick with his
 Association and sell his twos with
 theirs. His neighbor, MT. K, had g
 good bunch of threes and was of
 fered S33.00 for his threes, -s25.G for his twos. and $2000 for his year lings. MT K. refused to sell by the head and insisted that he and his associates would sell only by weight.
 A price was finally agreed upon and some twelve hundred head were sold over the scales. The following figures were reported: MT. H., re- ceived for his twos $37 per head and over $24 per head for his year lings. MT. K, received a few cents less than $50 per head for his three year-olds, and about the above men, tion9d prices on twos and yearlings. Thus, by selling over the scales, nc received nearly S17 per head more for his threes than his first offer, while MT. H., received SIP more per head for his twos and $4 more for his yearlings.
 Returns on the entire twelve hun dred head were not always like the above, but the average came pretty near those figures.
 Cooperative selling among those concerned in. this deal has received an impetus which will make it easy for the officers of the Association and the County Agent to extend their selling operations among the cattlemen.

CERMANY'S PLEA

THE appearance In Paris of financial ex-
L perts from Berlin. who have appealed
for two years Of grace In the payment OF
money indemnities due to France, brings TO
mind agnin the peculiar situation created In
Europe.
In Germany people are busy building
railways, machinery. ships and factories.
They work long hours because the sweep
ing defeat Of their armies. the fall OF their
Government and the universal nature Of the
national misfortune gave them n common
interest and common purpose.
The Germans are not permitted to have
more than the skeleton Of an army. But
their children are being drilled in marching
clubs. Multitudcs Of them ure on the roads
every dny-carrying knapsacks with camp
ing equipment.
The French cannot be blamed II they
feel that Germans who are asking for q
moratorium Of two years are in reality ask
ing for an opportunity to gain time for re-
cuperation and two years in which boys
now below the military age may grow up.

POMERENE'S CHANCES

CENATOR POMERENE is doubtless
y aware of the fact that his availability
as the Democratic candidate for the prcsi.
dency in 1924 is dependent on events over
which he has no control. Therefore. he
cannot have been unduly "lat"d over his
informal nomination in the Senate the other
day,
His availability is contingent on his
ability to secure election in Ohio TINS
year. If he can carry his state in Novem-
ber and defeat the Republican candidate he
would at once be lifted into such pr0m.
nence as a vote -getter that his party woulu
have to consider him in 1924.
Ohio is President Ilarding's own State
He carried it In 1920 by handsome ma =
jority. Unless all recent precedents are to
be disregnrded he will be the Republican
candidate in 1924. Now Democrat who
beat Mr.. Harding's party in his own State
would become national figure.
The Ohio Republicans are az well aware
Of this as are the Democrats in the other
States. Mr.. Harding himself ls aware of
II. Therefore. Mr.. Pomerene will have to
make sitter fight than he has ever made
In order to come within sight Of victory.
Consequently, he Is likely to postpone all
consideration of what he will do two years
from now until he knows whether he is to
retain his seat in the Senate after March 4.

On the DEVELOPMENT Of Public Libraries

fifty years. in the opinion of DR.. Thomas

of the Historical Society of Pennsylvania.
"My own interest in library work. said
DR.. Montgomery, began in my college
