WHY NOT A
COMFORT STATION

Now that the Railroad Park has
been improved and contemplated re-
pairs on the other two parks on Al
turas Street are being considered,
why would it not be good plan for
the Village Board to take into con-
sideration the erection of a comfort
station for the many tourists who
pass through our little city during
the summer season? The erection
of such a building could be done at
a very moderate cost and would elm
mate much inconvenience on the
part of strangers in the city. 1t is
understood that enc firm in this city
has already signifed a willingness
to cooperate in the cost of construc-
ton and about the only thing that
hampers the building of the station
is the lateness of the season and the
stormy weather and it is predicted
that the Village Dads, who are al
ways awake to all progressive moves
Of any sort, will take this matter I'M

RAILROAD PARK
ATTRACTS ATTENTION

Since a greater portion of the
concrete curbings have been complet-
ed in the Railroad Park, that attrac-
tive spot in the city has been the
cause of many admiring remarks
both by local citizens and strangers.
The walks have been laid around
three sides Of the park and 1t is the
plan to extend the curb and walk
along the side near the depot. 1t is
the plan of the city council to place
the curbing around the outside of
the park as well, with the possible
idea of removing the fence. In addi-
ton it has been decided by railroad
officials and the village board, in the
spring to start work on the improve
ment OF the other two parks, on Al
turas street. Too much credit can
not be given the railroad company
and the local agent, Mr.. Wilcox, for
the admirable manner in which they
have co-operated in the improve
ments of the local park.

thing to remember. namely, that this

IMPROVEMENT IN
CATTLE AND HOGS
(Continued from page one

. 1.-THE unpopularity of cattle rails
ing in recent years may be traced di
rectly to the low prices at the pri-
mary markets, which in turn meant
losses from late 1920 to early 1925.
Feeding costs were high and beef on
the hoof relatively low Not only
has the umber Of cattle decreased but
the supply of meats has also dropped.
The total holdings of all meats on
october was 1871, 900 pounds,
against a previous five-year October
l average of 675,263,O0O pounds.
The same is true of beef and veal.
The cold storage figures for the same
period show a current figure Of 49,
SOS,OOO pounds against a five-year
average OF 57,434,OOO.
Since the first of the year there
has been an evident change in cat
tie conditions. Most important Of
all is the materially higher price
level-today % per cent over year
ago. This has placed cattle men in
a better position. Banks and loan
companies feel more confident and
optimism is slowly returning. The
corner was turned last January when
cattle once again showed profit.
There is a better supply of feed at
lower prices and stock is entering
the winter in better condition.
1.-THE broad swings in cattle pro-
duction are not limited to two or
three years but sweep over a period
Of eight or ten. Consequently, now
that the corner has turned it will
take some time for the revival to
gain momentum. Ordinarily market
receipts in the closing months of the
year cause price concessions. AS a {
mater of fact, prices have already s
-urned slightly downward. 1t should !
De borne in mind, however, that {
here is not burdensome supply of i
;attle on our farms Therefore, /
here should not be only unusual t
easonal squirt in distribution. The a
prices will encourage some e
liquidation and over the balance of c
his year the average price level
hould be somewhat lower. This .
oes not mean broad decline. The >
tatistical position is too strong. The :.
attic man is gradually coming back. =
he period of low and improbable
attic is over. The average price g
svel the next few years should rule r.
high. n
Just word on hides. The a.
larked decrease in the number re- :
eived at the markets has affected !
lie supply. Stocks of cattle hides on Z
eptember l were only 3,640, 900 I
eces, against 4,751,2OO last Jan !.
my and a four-year September 1 I
'erage of 5,sO79SS. Imports of i

| cattle are also far under actual
needs. Last year the total receipts
were only 1S5,614.000 pound S
against a ive-year average of 1885,
s45,144 pounds. The figures for this
year show only a moderate increase
over last years limited figure. There
can be no serious decline in the price
of hides as long as the available sup
ply is below average. Incidently
the current price of hides is only IS
per cent over the pre-war level.
THE story of hogs is not mater
tally different. For four years, 1921
through 1924, the efforts to raise
hogs were met by severe financial
losses. Consequently hog raisers be-
came discouraged and the number in
this country shows tremendous de-
cline. In 1919 more than 1854, 900
hogs were on the farms On Jan
uary 1, 1925, the number was only
54,2S4,oO0-or the smallest figure in
sixteen years. During that period of
low prices, corn was more profitable
on the market than in hogs, the RAJ
tic dropping to a low of 6 to 7 in
July 1924, against a normal figure
of around II to 1, t. e. eleven bushels
OF corn to 100 pounds OF hogs.
'The same improvement noted in
sheep and cattle has been passed on
to hogs. From the low of 1924 hog
prices have climbed no less than so
per cent. Such move has been sup
ported by limited supplies on the
farms and a sharp decline in market
receipts. Today the corn-hog ratio
is back to III and corn in hogs
shows a favorable profit This will !
Immediately. stimulate hog-raising l
but it will take some years to elm /
mate the current deficit. Over the
'all period the usual seasonal influx 4
should cause some price decline but >
lere again there is no basis for any
ievere pressure on the downward
ide. The seasonal movement down
ward should be limited and consid-
ring all factors there are strong
Indications of a high average hog
larket for some time to come. OPP
imism is rapidly returning. This :
Il means greater purchasing pow
r in the hog-raising sections of the
Ountry.
Provisions II pork, lard, hams,
te.-are in similar position. The

LATEST NEWS OF PHE FISH

Here's some of the latest news Of the
fish from Fred Johnson. who probably
has a more intimate acquaintance with
more fish than any other continental in
these parts.
Last Sunday, Fred reports, two men
were fishing off Lola and not having
much luck. One of them was letting his
hand trail through the water over the
side of the skiff when he heard d noise
like a guaQua and he looked around just
in time to see a barracuda making a dash
for his hand. He jerked his hand out OF
the water, but the barracuda was unable
to reverse and came head.On and jumped
into the boat. there it commenced to
thrash about, the two fishermen scram-
bled out. and by the time they were able
to swim and wade ashore the barracuda
had knocked the bottom Out Of the SkItf,
and it sank.
Fred said he got this news early Mon
day mOrnin : from a man on the water
front he had known for d long time.
Others reported practically the same
occurrence as being told them at Fajardo
the first part of this week.
At MayagueZ recently q shank several
feet long was caught and pulled aboard a
ship where it was cut open. lnslGe was
found a china coffee 1o;, Il ccifer cup and
a saucer all bearing the insignia Of the
White Star Line. The coffee pot and
saucer were unbtoken but the cup Wes
dropped on the deck and smashed. The
White Star Line had several tourist ships
in San Juan during the last winter bul

is some doubt a, Mayaguez whether the

er it merely had its coffee served eff the
