LOSSES IN MEAT THROUGH BRUISED
 STOCK DECREASES

CHICAGO, July 25.-Of the 12,- 425,36S- head of cattle killed in 1922 in 6S of the principal markets of this country, 1.49S,256 were bruised, but the loss of meat from this cause averaged a half pound head as compared with pound head loss for beef animals killed in 1921, says a report made public by the Hi nos Humane Society.
 "The reduction shown is 50 per cent, and is attributed to the cam paign now on for the better hand ling of cattle in transit and in yards" says the report
 "As to losses in transit" the re- port continues, returns from eleven Western markets from which the principal statistics were obtained show there was a slight decrease in losses in 1922 as compared with 1921. This is gratifying for the req son that the railroads, on account of strikes and other causes, had a difficult proposition to keep their service at anything like standard IF 1921.
 Tn the bruised meat campaign tle figures as to hogs for 1922 do lot show up as well. In 1921 the loss of meat on account of bruises averaged one-tenth of pound to e.th hog. This figure was based on returns from 3 markets. How ever, in 1922 we extended our cam paign to cover 6S markets and the egLmated loss per hog was figured at quarter pound It is believed that the increased loss occurred in lne IS new markets where the cam raign to reduce loss had not been in full swing"

ONE OF THE WORLDS GREATEST WOMEN
 IS DEAD.

The greatest actress of all time and one of the meet wonderful characters of modern times passed from earth with the death of Sarah Bernhardt. No ether actress for long time held first place in the hearts of theatre goers None entertained or thrilled so many people None carried her art and talents to many countries None com rlotey dominated her profession. Compared with her hold the hearts of her people the fame of Nell Gwyn of Peg Wcfington and of others who were loved and admired and each in her day acclaimed the greatest Of actresses are shadowy and transient. Ellen Terry, more than two years younger but who began her stage six years before the Divine Sarah perhaps nearer than any other actress made comparable with that of the great Parsenne but she did net grip the people did Bernhardt and she belonged to the English speaking peoples while the aatcr belcpged to the world.
 It has been given few people to live long and as full as Bernhardt. Her debut made Paris August II, 1862 Napoleon III was in the full alory of his Imperial reign.

Loyalty Begins In Our Home Town.
(Prince Rupert News.O

Here is an article handed in by Daily News reader that just touches the spot. Read it.
 Are you loyal to the town you live in?
 Never thought much about 1t perhaps. If not it's about time you started to do bit of thinking along that line Just about here some will chime in
 'Bahi' don't believe iE this petty parish patriot ism. It's all bunk. This hometown stuff gets my goat don't owe the place anything, except it's last years taxes, and I've never anything for the taxes I've paid in any This burg is half dead, and if the Ku Klux Kaners were to make bonfire of it tonight, the country would be just as rich tomorrow"
 The fellow that talks like that and acts in ac- cordance, is just the kind of fellow that helps to make town a poor place to live. Your town just consists of you and your neighbors, your homes and your business enterprises. If you're live progres sive crowd, you'll build live and progressive muni cipalty But if you're half asleep, the town will naturally be half dead
 And did you ever think that a place that's good enough to live in is good enough stick up for? If you dcnt like t, why you have the simple remedy of moving away, but if you're going stay it's up to you to be loyal

The Literacy Test.
(Ketchikan Chronicle ]


 Dispatches from the Territorial capital say that the lower House of the Legislature has passed the Literacy Test Bill requiring voters be able to read before they arc to have the right of franchise The bill is now in the Senate where it be given five or the eight votes before it become law
 The House did well in passing this bill and it is to be hoped that the Senate will follow suit It is nara To imagine what argument any Legislator or anyone else for that matter, could have against such bill. It is a certainty that person who is not able to read cannot keep abreast of the times to know what is going in governmental affairs and otherwise. And 10 permit persons to vote who are not able to read most emphatcay has ten- deney to encourage interruptions politicians polica1 oos1es and near-potical bosses herd these un- schcaled individuals Almost any blatherskite with hls glib tongue go among the unfortunates who have net had any educational advantage tell them a lot of truck almost always lies with the result that they readily believe and follow the master This IS particularly true in the native communities where they nave not the opportunity to hear or know all the angles of matters coming up for consideration at the polls.
 lhere Is nothing unfair about the literacy test IL demands certain mental and educational standard and It's only effect would be to increase in the heayt or the right thinking who had had proper edu- catona advantages the desire to put them in a pos- ton where no enc could deny them the right of franchise.
