PRICES OF CATTLE
ARE FALLING FAST
Decline Almost Half in Past Two
Months, State College Extern
sion Chief Says

College Station, Raleigh, Jan. s.
Prices for slaughter of cattle, cut al
most in half during the past two
months, may sink even lower unless
industrial activities show a marked
increase.
l.. l. Case, extension beef cattle spe-
cialist at State College, declared to-
day the anticipated drop in finished
cattle prices came much sooner than
expected and that the decline was
much sharper than looked for.
Early in September Case warned
farmers against buying feeder steers
in the fall to fatten for the spring
market. This warning was issued at
the time when prices, which had soar
ed slzyward, were due for a fall.
While the Chicago top prices for
weighty steers in September and Oc-
tober never quite reached $40 per hun
bred, the figure was almost touched
on several occasions. Last week the
top at Chicago was $13 or a drop of
nearly 81 per hundred pounds.
Showing the effects in North Caro-
lima, Case pointed out that during the
State Fair, ten head Of show steers
were sold to a buyer Tor an average
of SIS per hundred. At the Asheville
Fat Stock Show November 8, about
three weeks later, cattle of equal, or
better quality sold for only $11 a hun
dred
Today, Case said, the same cattle
would not bring over $3.50 or SO at
the outside.
The drop in prices of higher grades
of cattle has been more severe than
in the palmer. kinds, although all have
felt the sharp knife of the market,
Case declared that farmers with
breeding herds have not. been hurt Sc
riously, since feed is plentiful and
low in price.

Nearing the front line the air

: He stood alone. All Shorty's
wearniess fell from him like q
sheet discarded.
HE CAN HELP!
Lieut.. Grayson? Can 1 help?'
The mud plastered officer flicked
his eyes without moving his pis-
tolls. His lips smiled at the ques
ton.
And how! You're entitled to
half the credit if you help herd
these ferries back to our lines.
Well make a break now, while
things are quiet" Lieut.. GraySon
shouted down the dug-out. "Up
commen, you graybacks. And
watch your step. Or you'll find a
grenade under your helmet"
Once out of the trench, like
shadows rather than real men in
the morning twilight, the two
Americans and the six Germans
stepped ana slid over shell-hole
and through ENHANCEMENT wire.
Soldiers who had fought so fiercely
all night watched.
While the prisoners held their
hands aloft. shorty saw Grayson
flourish his automatic so the en-
emy could not fail to understand
the result if they turned fire on
the group. Alert sharp-ShooterS
in the American trench, he knew,
would protect them if possible.
While this was not quite as Shorty
had pictured his triumph, still it
would do. He balanced a grenade.
Grayson had the stuff
Shorty saw the trench twenty
yards ahead He saw men of his
own regiment. At that moment
the battle broke with renewed
fury. Blasting Shell-fire, machine
guns, as he could imagine nam
outh type-writing machine sound
ing, rifle bullets ploughing the
mud-drenched topsoil, bursting
hand grenades, all that hell-horus
again, even the Star-ShellS she'd
ding unearthly radiance in the
dawn.
Suddenly Shorty felt an odd
sensation in his right elbow. AS if
he had hit it against sharp pale
ing, or lamp-post. His right fore
arm dangled. He touched it gin
gerly. Someone seemed to club
his leg from under him. He fell.
SHORTY ON SICK LIST
Back in Evacuation Hospital,
Shorty was ticketed for Base No.
20. He sat on his cot waiting
until the orderly would notify the
little group the ambulance was
ready. Shortly looked about nerv-
ously. Only a few minutes left
ah, there he was. Shortly smiled.
You lucky kid. Two little holes
and you get a pass to Paris good

Good luck r." Lieut.. GraySon
was shaking his left hand whis-
pering. "The colonel wanted a.
report on how we captured those
Jerries-"
"It was you alone, Lieutenant.
Besides you dragged me in when
I was hit"
Forget it. Anyway he's pin
ming citations on us. BY the way,
I'm writing hoine. Any meSSage?"
Shorty looked down. He plucked
at the sling holding his right arm.
"You might remember me to
your wife. I grew up with Estelle
Terry. Read you married the day
before the division sailed"
Stella? The paper got it
wrong. I married her big sister,
Sally, not Little Fireworks
Lieutenant GraySon looked sharp
ly at Shorty. Say. there's an
idea. I'll write Sally to tell Stella
what a swell kid you are, regular
fella. Then maybe" Shorty
heard the officer burst into a.
laugh. He knew his face was
crimson. When the other snapped
the question, Like the idea?"
"Sure, SWELL" was all Shorty
could answer.

POTOMAC FILTH
Sportsmen and Civic
Groups Want Action

Sentiment among sportSmen,
public health officials and spokes-
men for civic organizations was
almost unanimous today in favor
of the immediate clearing up OF
the dangerously polluted condition
of the Potomac River and its
tributaries.
They demanded action that
might make it possible to end the
discharge of sewage which has
made the streams unsafe for
bathing or recreational purposes
and which has destroyed fish life.
Some suggested that sewage from
nearby Maryland areas be piped to
the District of Columbia treatment
plant at Blue Plains.
George A. Herman, president OF
the Potomac Boat Club, and
Henry Fowler treasurer of the
Washington Canoe Club, were
among the recreational leaders
demanding improvement of condi-
tions in the river.

in is taking a chance"
Many people living on the
upper reaches of the river, he said,
have complained to him of its
condition.
Il was in swimming in the
river today" Fowler said, but
I shouldn't have been out there,
the river is so filthy. That's

the Sunburst and Cut Bank sands had not
been determined Friday Owing to the fact
that there is shale from ISIS to 2545, it may
be necessary to lower the pipe. Eight-inch
casing was set at 2l60 to shut off a small
flow of water at 2050-6O. 1t is considered
probable that this well will be put on pro
duction and another well will test the lower
sands.
Yukon Oil company, a subsidiary of
Santa Rita Oil company was organized in
1888 to take over block of acreage taken
by Pat Sweeney of Kelvin who started the
we'll on the Jacobson farm The company has
a fairly solid block of between 1900 and
1000 acres of leases along the nose" which
comes TIP into the Sweetgrass Arch from the
north West and southwest, Texas company
has a block of leases while Glacier Produc-
ton Co. has the block on the south. Nearest
to the new Yukon producer are held by A.
b. Cobb of Cut Bank and Warren Hastings
of Portland, Ore, on the east and southeast.
The Lungren well is five and one-half
miles from the Border oil field which pro-
duces from the Sunburst sand and from the
Cut Bank sand There are some who be-
lieve that the new Darling pool as the new
discovery is called, will in time be linked up
with the Border-Red Coulee field on the
northeast and with the main Cut Bank oil
field, about II miles southwest.

would have continued to flow by heads. AS
it was, it settled back to a level of about 1900
feet
Drilling stopped at $780, eleven feet in
the sand the thickness of which is not known.
There was no Moulton sand reported at the
Jacobson discovery well in NW14NW14 Sec
q, while in the Cobb State gasser, two and
half miles east of the Lungren producer, there
was at least 80 feet of Mounton sand. Reese
Poynter production superintendent halted drill
ling when it appeared that they had com
mercial we'll
1t swabbed 20 barrels in the first four
hours, then dropped to ~ barrels per hour,
making liz barrels during the first II hours.
1t is estimated by L. B. O'Neil, president of
Yukon Oil company as a 50-barrel we'll
Others estimated that it will make Is barrels
or better in settled production
There is no other oil we'll in the field
producing from the Mouton sand There are
six gas wells producing from the Moulton
sand, including the Cobb State we'll in NEH
NEH 30-37-4W which is rated the largest
gas well in Montana, with flow of 10000
600 cubic feet per day. The nearest well on
the south the Glacier Production McNamer,
is making 100000 cubic feet of gas from
the Moulton sand.
