There is no relic more worthy of

the Frigate Constitution. On her

She represents the ideals for which

to contribute to her restoration aG

restoring her, we honor not only

by their bravery and skill, brought
her to such renown and made such
glorious history for America.

historic relics, the Frigate Consti-
tuition belongs to every American.
Rebuilt cnd equipped as she looked
in the history-making days OF 1872,
a picturesque survivor of the bygone
DAVIS of sail, she will again cruise
the seas, with proper escort, visit

carrying her patriotic message to

Americans.
The people Of America owe a debt
of gratitude to this champion of
our liberties and rights as a nation.
This debt can only be repaid by
restoration of the Constitution thru
POPULAR subscription.
Every American is urged to buy a

make possible the repayment OF the
debt we owe her. The pictures may
be obtained for so cents each by
writing to "0ld I~ronsides" Navy

PRICES
MOVE In CYCLES

1t is well known that cattle pro-
duction and consequently cattle
prices move in cycles. Three
rather well-defined complete cy-
cles took place in the last half
century, says the United States
department of agriculture.
The first Of these price cycles
started before 1880 and ended
around 1891, the second started
around 1891 and ended about 1906,
and the third started around 1906
and ended around 1923.
The cattle industry now appears
to be at the low point of a pro
duction cycle. Cattle prices reach
ed high levels in 1927 and 1928,
and the department advises pro-
ducers to bear in mind that a
downward trend will undoubtedly
take place eventually.
Price cycles and production
cycles are, Of course, correlated
in inverse movements. Declining
production tends to be associated
with rising prices and vice versa.
As the entire process originates
in production changes, the prud-
ent cattleman will study carefully
recent production figures. Since
1918 a steady decline in the num-
Der of cattle on farms has taken
place, and the number in 1928 was
about the same as the number
in 1912, in which year the proceed
ing cycle passed its low point
from the standpoint of the num-
Der of cattle on farms.

A Y, tear her battered ensign

And many an eye mas danced to

That banner in the sky;
Beneath it rung the battle shout
And burst the lannon's roar
The meteor of the ocean air
Shall sweep the clouds nc more.
Her deck once red with heroes

Where knelt the vanquished foe,
When winds were h~urrying Ger the

And waves we're white below,
No more shall feel the v%ictor's

Or know the conquered knee
The harpies of the shore shall

The eagle of the seal

Should sink beneath the wave;
Her thunders shook the mighty

And there shf uld be her grave;
Nail to her MAJ her holy flag,
Set every threadbare sail,
And give her to the gcd of storms,
The lightning and the gaIei

Today in the Navy Yard at Bos-
ton lies a wooden hulk. Time has
furled her sails and shorn her CT
her masts. The ravages OF decay
have rendered her timbers unsea-
worthy. This is NJ common hulk,
but the ship that was once a navy.
Veteran of more than ms hundred
and thirty-one years of loyal service
to her country, she Is now the proud
possessor of the most brilliant fight
ing record of any ship in any navy
in the world. She is known affec-
tionately as "Old Ironsides"-The
U. S. FTIgate Constitution.

Of the frs: three naval vessels built
by the United States, she was
launched IN I{artI's Shipyard, Bo5-
ton. in 1877. Commissioned in 1873,
she sailed against the French Pri-
vateers, who were preying on u
commerce along the Atlantic Coast
end in West Indian waters, leaving
destruction in their wake.
Her next duty took her into the
tlue waters OF the Mediterranean,
where from 1903 to 1905 she bonn
barded the forts Of Tripoli, debating
peace with the Barbary Pirates and
forever ending our tribute to them.
During the war Of 1912 she won
9 succession Of victories over the
British feet, increasing u prestige
abroad and inspiring at home a
greater faith in the new Republic.
"OId I~ronsides'' stood invincible
against the great English navy and

colonists had fought for it on land.

tered, and throwing back his long
blond hair, began his favorite sub
ject.
"The trouble with marriage" he
proclaimed, 'is this-there's no
e $ in physical attraction-no
rhine nor reason. It's blind as a
bat. People mistake a powerful
physical attraction for love, and
so they get married, and expect
the thing to last. That's idiotic."
Listen to me-" she directed.
1--WE a few ideas on the subject
myself. I quite agree with you on
the Importance of honesty. | be
lieve that if love could be honest

every human relation should be
based on decent understanding.
There is never any harmony I'M
less there is understanding.

bring all our little receptions and
prideful follies, about which we've
builded all our lives, right on to
love and marriage. And that, of
course, is disastrous. That's why
marriage founders. Lack of hon
est understanding.
You can't expect compatibility
if you haven't understanding. And
incOmpatibility is back of every
divorce. Back of infidelity. and the
thing that masquerades as cruel
and abusive treatment Back of
desertion and non-support-back
Of everything that takes men and
women to courts, to throw dirt,
