SELLING COWS BECAUSE
THEY NEED THE MONEY

Experts of the department of Ag-
riculture are puzzled over the tend
ency of range stockmen to market a
larger proportion of cows and heifers
than usual, as disclosed by a recent
survey. Opinions regarding both the
basis and the significance of the move
ment differ widely. "There seems to
be little doubt" an announcement said
''that at least a part of the increased
marketing of females represents
forced liquidation. In other instances
it is in a sense a voluntary action pre-
Dictated on encouragement of cattle
men because of inability TO continue
in the cattle business at prevailing
market prices. Other interests take
the view that the present increased
-, movement of cows and heifers to mar
ket simply represents natural liquida
ton of a surplus which has been &C
c%umulating since the war"

convinced that it would be worth while

Premier Poincare's speech at Nevers
on Thursday. If the inquiry is to

investigation of Germany's full ca

the president feels that the sugges-

CONTINUES
IN ARMY RECRUITS

The army continues to experience
extreme difficulty in obtaining re-
cruits. This fact is emphasized by
Adjutant General Davis in his annual
report. The same difficulty does not
apply when the rookie knows he will
be assigned to duty in Hawaii and
given a long sea voyage. Normally
recruits for the Hawaiian service and
the Philippine department are enlisted
in the Ninth corps area, comprising
the Pacific coast states. The large
number of vacancies in Hawaii made
it necessary to permit recruiting in
the eastern corps area, with a promise
of a sea voyage via the Panama ca
nal. More than 1000 recruits were
promptly transported to Honolulu.
