On Being "Nice"

Being nice to people requires a vir-

hero to surrender his place in life

discover that they have no need of
your being nice to them. People to
whom 1t is necessary to be nice never
seem altogether conscious of their DO.

Hornessine Tides

The most practical system as yet
suggested for Harvesting the tides is
the basin system, because it permits
large scale installation. 1t consists of
one or more basins cut off from the
sea by dams. AS the tide rises and
falls gates permit the maintenance of
differences of level of water between
the basin and the sea, or between one
basin and another during part of the
tidal cycle. These differences in level
produce the necessary heads of water
for the production of power through
turbines and auxiliary machinery.

There appears TO be a continued
nndertone in he beef cattle market,
as every indication still points to a

Scarce and interest rates higher than

There seems to be no real indica-

western states, where range feed is
none too satisfactory, particularly in
the cattle breeding states, such as
Arizona and New Mes-co. Then too,
cattlemen are backward about pay

meat distributors, are relatively

| All in all, the beef situation is on
I a strong basis. There appears to be
no thought in the mind of anyone
in the trade of any lower scale of
beef values for some time to come.
On the other hand, it must be borne
, in mind that the value of beef eat
tie on the market must always de-
pend upon the ability and willing
ness of the consumer to pay. Furth

TO be regulated to a great extent by

Beef cattle producers realize, how
ever. that in due time, our beef sup
ply will again be built up to q nor
NAL supply. With this thought in
mind, actual steps are being taken
to popularize beef through com
prehensive and well planned adver-
tising and publicity campaign, but
it seems essential that serious con-
sideration should be given TO quality
products.
The hog market also seems to be
on strong footing and with prices
even now on relatively hlgh plane,
there are many in the trade who
firmly believe that the late sum

hogs on a higher plane.
The lamb market has held up well
this season, in spite of greatly in-
creased supplies. With good feed
prospects in the big lamb producing
sections in the inter-mountain eoun

to be a general feeling that lamb
may be a cheaper meat than beef
or pork this year. Due to sound
