creases.
Receipts Of cattle and calves n all
public yards totaled Ii+s3.9o9 head
from January 10 July. inclusive, the
most recent period for which reports
have been received. For the same
period Of 1921 shipments Of these an
imals amounted to 1o.359.oo0 head.
In July alone, receipts Of cattle and
calves increased - percent over the
corresponding month of 1921.
For the first seven months Of 1922,
receipts Of hogs as we'll as sheep
show a slight decrease. But during
July. hog receipts increased 8 per-
cent compared with July, 1921. This
increase is expected to continue
through the next few months.
TIE greater volume OF receipts Is
due, it is believed. to the advance Of
prices received by producers.

THE AMERICAN FARMER VS. THE
SLAVIC COAL MINER?

If the farmers went on strike
would the railroad men stop gard
ening in sympathy?
II the farmers went on strike
would the railroad men see their
children starve rather than make the
effort to get food for them? We
believe not.
The coal miners who have been
on strike for months have shown
what they think of the right Of
every man to his job They have
raised gardens, MIXED cows and en-
tered directly into competition with
the farmer.
OF course it is all right for a rail-
road man or coal miner to - COM
pete with the farmer-so the rail
road men think-and the coal miner
too-but if poor rancher; who has
gone broke trying to raise crops at
the prices received the past few
years; were to go now and take one
of the jobs which these railroad
men, or miners left, imagine the
howl that they would raise.
The one good thing contained in
President Harding's message to con-
gress was the admission that the
country is at the mercy of the Unit
ed Mine Workers of America. 1t
;c 20
until the people admit the danger of
a condition will they set about try
ing to correct it.
1t is about time that the people
know that they are at the mercy of
the United Mine Workers of Amer
ica and to know too; that the men,
bership of the United Mine Workers
is fully 65 per cent Slavic, that over
half of the members, it is safe to
say, are not even citizens Of the
United States.
This is a fine state of affairs. The
President of the United States open
ly admits that nation of One Hun
dred Millions of people is at the
mercy of four hundred thousand
coal miners, not half of whom are
it's citizens.
Talk about being dominated by
foreign influence, should we enter
the League of nations? According
to President Hardings own state
ment we have foreign interference
right here now.

cation project in the West, in vary

This calls for united effort on
