LIVESTOCK

A study of the figures from 1850
to 1922, says the United States de-
partment of agriculture, shows that
human population has increased at
a greater rate than live stock The
number of hogs in this country varies
more from year to year than the
number of other domestic animals.
Sheep have declined the most. There
is increasing difficulty in supplying
our population with sufficient meat
while maintaining a surplus of meat
products for export. The livestock In
dustry acts as great storage reser-
voir for surplus grains, grasses, and
forage crops. No great meat-eating
nation has ever suffered famine from
crop failure.

world had been great deal worse

Professor Bartin, head of the psy-
chology department at the University
of daho, is now conducting a series Of
interesting tests on ways in which
typewriting may be improved, and is
conducting two classes through which
he hopes to arrive at some definite
conclusions. Each section is composed
of sixteen students, who have either
had or are taking courses in psy-
chology, one section of which is learn
ing to operate typewriter by the
standard approved method, while the
other is following a course Of instruc-
ton devised by Professor Barton. 1t
is the contention of the psychologist
that much of the time ordinarily spent
in simple exercises is waste of time,
and that by eliminating them, a per-
son should be able to operate stand
ard typewriter in a great deal shorter
space of time.

easy, witty householder at home by
his fire; an answer he had for every
thing-as often as not, a testing an
swer; avoided threats, evaded in
suits; talked laughed, and listened
with an open countenance; and, in
short, conducted himself in such a
manner as must have disarmed sus-

fessed to me they would soon have
disbelieved the captains story, and
supposed their designated victim still
quite innocent of their designs, but
for the fact that he continued chow
ever ingeniously) to give the slip to
questions, and the yet stronger con-
firmation of his repeated efforts to
escape.
The last of these, which brought
things to head, l am now to relate.
And first l should say that by this
time the temper of Harris compan-
ions was utterly worn out; civility
was scarce pretended; and for one
very. significant circumstance, the
master and Secundra had been Con

On their side, however, the threat
ened pair kept up the parade of
friendship handsomely; Secundra was
all bows, the master all smiles; and
on the last night OF the truce he had
even gone so far as to sing for the
diversion OF the company. 1t was
observed that he had also eaten with
unusual heartiness, and drank deep;
doubtless from design.
AT least, about three in the morn
ing, he came out of the tent into the |
open air, audibly mourning and com |

Secundra publicly attended on his |

Interesting Convention Ends at Spo-
kane-New Warehouse to Handle
Surplus at Yakima.

/ With the election of Frank j. Hag-
enbarth of Spencer, Idaho, as presi-
dent of the National Wool Growers
association for another year, mem
bers of the association closed their
58th annual convention at the Dav-
export hotel at Spokane last week. F.
R. Marshall of Salt Lake City was re-
elected national secretary Of the as
ISOLATION. The three vice-presidents
named to assist President Hagenbarth
were F. E. Fleetwood of California,
western vice president; w. G. Coffey
of Minnesota, eastern vice president,
ern vice president
A large number of topics of inter
est to wool growers, including tariff,
freight rates, etc.. were discussed and
action taken according to the wishes
of the convention. The Spokane
meeting was declared to be the most
interesting held in recent years, be-
cause of the great number of ques-
lions claiming the attention OF the
growers This is the first convention
held outside Salt Lake City in more
than 20 years.
Warehouse at Yakima.
Plans for an immense wool ware
housing industry to handle 100000
pounds of Yakima wool annually were
announced recently. While the plan
is to serve primarily wool growers in
the Yakima valley, it will be at the
disposal of all state wool growers on
the same basis. The general plan is
to make use of the numerous fruit
warehouses in Yakima, which are al
ways empty during the early summer
when the wool clip is in need
of storage prior to marketing.

the second time he grew a little pale,

two sides a silent contest, for life on
the one hand, for riches on the other.
They were now near the quarter OF
the desert in which the master him

of prosecution, Harris and his men
sat with him every night about the

100 R. R. CARS WILL

Ringing Bros. and Barnum & Bailey
Add Entire ShiplOad Of Big,
New European Features.

Arriving aboard 100 double-length
railroad cars forming trains more
than one and One-third miles long,
and made even greater than in 1922 by
the addition of many big, new foreign
acts, Ringing Brothers and Barnum
d Bailey Combined will exhibit at Will
mington, Monday, May 18th.
Those who read the daily papers or
who keep in touch with the movie
news-reels need not be reminded of
the shipload of acts and animals re-
Gently imported by the Greatest Show
on Earth. The remarkable cargo in
cluded two companies of baby ele-
plants are now joined with the forty
adults of the mammoth herd. There
were also 100 more performing horses
accompanied by Europe's greatest
trainer, Ernest Schumann, and many
wild animals, some of which have
been added to the scores upon scores
of trained jungle beast, while others
have become part of the marvellous
menagerie.
More than million persons saw the
mammoth new circus of 1928 during
the weeks that it exhibited in Madison
Square Garden, New York. Now this
marvellous exhibition is touring the
country aboard five great trains. It is
a third bigger than the Ringing Bro
theirs and Barnum & Bailey show of
last season. 1t is ten times larger than
any other circus now on tour.
Big as is this wonder circus of 1923 !
with its more than thirty trained
wild animal displays in steel arenas,
fully 200 wonderfully schooled horses,
700 men and women performers, 100 |
and scores of features-the |
price of admission is no more than be-
fore. And though the trained animal
and the immense horse show
were circuses in themselves while
touring Europe, they are not offered
as separate attractions by the Ring
ling Brothers and Barnum & Bailey
combined shows. Instead all are on
one gigantic program. Everything is
IN one mammoth main tent. One tick
ct admits to all these and to the ire
nendous double menagerie. There are
more than a thousand animals in the
zoo of this circus and these include |.
