railroads haul fewer cattle with in
creasing effect on general condi-
tions, until finally we have an ex.
cess of cattle to feed for this time
of year.
Can't Feed Cattle
'ln a normal year we would not
be stricken SO seriously because of
such an epidemic as this, but this
year, after the driest winter in 46
years, we have little to feed stock.
''With little feed in this state
due to the drought, we would nor
mally turn to other states we have
extensive grazing properties, which
we cannot use. Mexico has barred
us.
81 cannot begin to estimate the
loss this epidemic has cost every
man connected with the live stock
industry. Many cattle will die from
lack of feed. Thousands of others
have been slaughtered because they
were exposed to infection.
''YCt even with this thinning out
we have more mouths to feed than
we have feed and on top of it all
thu housewive becomes suspicious
of her butcher. Almost all our ave
aues of escape from loss are cut off
and it will take us long time to
recover.

The Sun Maid Raisin Growers
from California are seeing to it.
In all of the large cities of China
the five cent package of California
raisins' familiar in tte United States
has appeared for sale.
And to meet the ideas and the
pocketbooks of the Chinese coolies
a new, typically Chinese package
mas. arrived-an envelope of raisins
which retails for 60 two coppersD
or one half cent in American money.
in addition prizes are being
awarded to native bakers, in Sharh

California raisins in their cooking.
''The Chinese seem to be looking
with favor on this innovation, T.
c. Seanlon, in charge of the Shang-
hal office of the Sun Maid Associa-
tion told the United Press.
His optimism was supported by
the fact that it is rapidly becoming
difficult to buy goods in many of
the native shops without seeing a
California raisin peeping out of it

The popularization of the raisin
in China is the result of efforts by
the Sun Maid organization to ere

the
Radio Dial
BY LiStener.1n-

The broadcasting gods returned
from their annual vacation yesterday
and began setting their ethereal
household in order.
Their first tidying-up job was to
dispatch a wind, blowing from out
of somewhere, to sweep the air
ways clean.
This done, they rested.
In, another month they hope to
have all the static cleared out OF
the hooks and corners and the
ether lanes resurfaced.
There seems to be some super
natural element that controls the
Tuesday night broadcasts.
A week ago the Tuesday nighters
came near to setting summertime
record for distance reception.
But when all the reports are in.
we believe, that the signals OF last
week will have been considerably
less strong and enduring than those
of last night.
There was a freshness and a
clarity about the stations that
clambered into our headphones that
struck us as nothing short OF re-
markable.
There can be no doubt as to
where the "squealers" go for most
of their hunting.
They swarm around WEBH'
Chicago, like the impatient rushing
crowds that mob the entrances to
-l@iv tNnh
Fortunately the Orioles last night
were able to drown most Of their
cries. But it is not always thus.
There was no need to seek enter
tainment from distance during the
early part of the evening.
The Marine Band Little Symphony
Orchestra and the Wardman Park
Trio combined to make up a deluxe
concert program.
|. Among the noisest OF the night
owl stations were webb, WIS,
Chica; WICK, Detroit; WCAE. Pitts
burgh; WLW, Cincinnati; WQJ, Chi
cago, and WTAS, Elgin.
An interesting innovation will oe
broadcast tonight from WIS, when
public meeting of the Broadcast
Listeners Association at a Chicago
park, will be put on the air by the
Sears Roebuck station.
The public is invited and pro.
gram of popular features will be pre-.
sented, all of which will be trained
on the WIS microhone.
Senator La Toilette may find hts
request for letters of comment re-
sulting in more Of a burden than
a help.
In the first days mail there were
more than 700 letters from the Dis
trict, Maryland and Virginia.
And the Senator promised to give
them all his personal attention.
