No one will see them again.
 The ladies of the party made piteous out cry when they found that they were to be left. Narley did not heed it.

The entire country is anxiously
waiting developments, as the pack

which is Argentina's chief source OF
wealth, and disastrous effects are
feared unless some solution of the
difficulty is reached. There are in
Argentina no other packing plants
raisers are, therefore. seemingly
helpless as long as the packers main
tain what the producers term a boy
colt against them in order to compel
annulment of the price-fixing law.
