COOLIDGE URGES
MORE CRUISERS
IN LEGION TALK
BY United Press Leased Wire

WASHINGTON, Nov. l2.-Speak-
ing at ceremonies held by the Amer
lean Legion here last night in OBJ
servance of the 10th anniversary of
the Armistice, President Coolidge
deplored the lack of mutual under
standing between the United States
and Europe and stressed the need OF
additional cruisers to strengthen the
American naval force.
"It is obvious that, eliminating
all competition, world standards of
defense require us to have more
cruisers,' the President said.
Again. after pointing out the ade-
quaey of the regular army, and call
ing attention to Americas long
coast line, outlying possessions and
foreign commerce and investments,
Mr.. Coolidge said:
"Having few fueling stations, We
required ships of large tonnage, and
having scarcely any merchant vessels
fapable Of mounting . or 6 inch guns,
ii is cbvious that, based on needs,
we are entitled TO 4 larger number
of warships than nation having
these advantages. -

NUT BRING Us
SKY MESSAGE

\ nut paid visit to the Press of
flee over the week end and instead
CT being shown the door hurriedly
as most nuts are, this one is stii;
in the editor 5 office ard will likely
remain there Tor some time.
The nut was brought to the office
by S. Y. Reynolds Of this city,
though the chances are he did not
know tlat il was nut, fer il was
enclosed in long, legal-iool;inG
envelope.
Mr.. Reynolds picked ur the
I. !. I. envelope near the Imperial
county airport. 1t had been tossed
out of the Golden Eagle monoplane,
c~route from Los Angeles to Kansas
City. The Golden Eagle is manufac
tured at Glendale by the r. o. Bone
Company. r. O. Bone, president of
the company, was aboard the Gold
oa Eagle, and he dropped the enve-
lopc as the plane passed over the air
rort.
Accompanying the nut was a let
ter from Mr.. Bone. stating that he
was FLYING in one of the smallest
two-place monoplanes ever built.
The plane has 2 total weight Of only
500 pounds, with 4 maximum speed
If l15 miles an hour and a cruising
speed Of so miles. He expected 10
make Kansas City in 20 flying
hours.
The- inscription on the cnve-
lope asked the finder to deliver it
to ''The editor OF your leading news
paper With all due modesty we
hank Mr.. Reynolds for having no
difficulty in recognizing us.
The nut? Oh yes, an envelope
dropped from the air is likely to
land almost any old place if left to
itself, therefore Mr.. Bone used a
common bolt nut TO guide his mes
sage, and it did a good job of
guiding. 1t is a perfectly respectable
nut and not ono Of the nuts that
al folks. editors included, like to
dodge
We were glad to get it and sin
cercly hope these flyers don t adopt
the habit Of using kitchen stoves or
rcfrigerators to guide their mes
sages.

reached an agreement for capital
ships and airplane carriers, together
with the maximum unit tonnage and
maximum calibre of guns of cruis-
ers, the President said.
"It no doubt has some signifi-
cance that foreign governments
made agreements limiting that class
of combat vessels in which we were
superior, but refused limitations IN
the class in which they were su-
perior. We made altogether the
heaviest sacrifice in scrapping work
which was already in existence. That
should forever remain not only a

demonstration to others of our good

LOS ANGELES, Nov. Ere
flccting the depletion in cattle sup
plies over the country as whole,
official United States Department
of Agriculture figures show that the
slaughter of cattle under federal in
spcction for October was approx
mately 10 per cent less than for the
same month in 1927. For the first
nine months Of the year, the num-
Der of cattle slaughtered under fed
eral inspection totaled 6,237,l36, a
decrease Of three quarters of a mil
lion from the corresponding period
in 1927-an actual decrease of
around 375,000,000 pounds of beef,
representing a decrease of more than
three pounds for every man, woman
and child in the United States.
In this. connection, it is interest
ing to note that with every other
slaughtering and meat distributing
center in the country showing such
4 decrease, metropolitan Los Ang-
clcs used more beef than in any
previous year. During the first nine
months of this year, Los Angeles
meat packers slaughtered 5000 moro
cattle than during the same period
in 1927, while the increase over five
years ago amounted to $4,000 head.
This does not mean that there are
more cattle in the Los Angeles ter.
rtory but it means that Los Angeles
packers entered distant and highly
connective fields to get their
needs.
Stockmen in the Rocky Mountain
states are feeding wheat to their
cattle, hogs and sheep this pear, due
to the fact that they believe they
can get greater net returns on wheat
if marketed on the hoof than in the
sack. Wheat has about equal feed
! ing value with corn and barley.
| However, wheat should be crushed
or ground when fed to hogs and cat
! tie although it can be fed whole to
| sheep with satisfactory results. The
successful farmer and stockman of
| today must be in a position TO work
out such problems for himself and
the difference between profit and
! u - III lam operations is SoiNtu
through marketing the crops to the
best advantage. There is lesson for
the grain growers on the Pacific
Coast in the attitude OF these
Rocky Mountain farmers In most
| cases, it would be found that barley
and other available grain I'D to
live stock would net higher returns
that when sacked and hauled 10
market. An important feature TO
consider, too, is that the soil would
be benefited through feeding live
stock on the same ranch whern tn
grain is grown.
Close students of market con
dtions are cf the opinion that the
big receipts of Intcr-Mmntain eat
:le at the markets are about ended.
Due to lack of sufficient rainfall,
the grass and natural range forage
r,op was short this year, making it
necessary for cattlemcn to move
their range stock to market about
thirty days earlier than normally.
Unfortunately, the shortage Of feed
caused heavier shipping than had
been anticipated and this WAS prob

ably the cause of price decline at
all of the markets during the past
so to 40 days.
Meat centers are now depending
more upon feedlots as their scarce
of supplies and some decrease in
receipts is generally anticipated.
Another unfortunate result of the
shortage of range feed was the CON
tinued heavy marketing of breed,
ing stock. To the surprise of most
of the trade, cows and heifcrs made
up a big proportion of the cattle
receipts at the western markets this
fall. Replacement costs will very
likely prove the lack of wisdom Of
bcefing she stuff of breeding age
and the tendency in that direction
does not augur well for the future
Cf the industry.
