Figures On Stock
Given By Dept.

A survey was made by the Missis.
sippi Extension Department early
this year Of 70 beef cattle herds in
the Brown Loan area starting with
Tate County on the north and ending
with<Wilkinson County on the south.
1t was found that these herds had
an average of $3.50 cows, 81 year
ling heifers, and II calves which
were being held over for replace
ment purposes. There were one bull
for every "a cows.
The average value of cows and
bred heifers was $4,000, yearling
heifers $500 and bulls Sl12.0O.
These 73 herds averaged ~ per
cent calf crop, but lost by death
1T percent of the calves. At market
time these calves averaged 3O4 lbs.
and sold at STAT per hundred or
$22,71 per calf
The farmers who kept less than %
cows per bull obtained an average
calf crop of 70 per cent; those keep
ing more than 25 per bull obtained
6S percent of calf crop.
The ten most profitable farmers
raised calves of an average weight of
1856 pounds in comparison with the
10 least profitable farmers who rails
ed calves to weigh 266 pounds.
1t is interesting to note that the
farmers who owned high grade cat
tie raised calves to an average of
345 pounds while those who owned
grade cattle raised calves to an
average of 293 pounds.

How many times during the year
do we say ] wish there was some
thing here to give more en-
ployment to the men and women
and the boys and girls of the town to
help our town to grow bigger and
more prosperous. This is the natural
desire of everyone who lives in the
community who is interested in see
ing the town made better town. It
isn't possible for every town to Sc
cure big industry with a big pay
roll. There isn't enough of these to
go around, but there is something
that every one in the community can
do to, make the town a bigger and a
better town, and that is, trade at
home 1t may seem to the individual
that the small amount he spends
out of town can't make much differ
ence, but if he would stop to think,
that if every one spent the same
amount with out of town merchants
what sum it would make during
the year. There is enough business
in the trade area of this town to
make of it a splendid growing COM
munity-if the business all stayed at
home. The dollars spent at home
build the home town, the dollars
spent away from home build some
other town. This is our town, our
homes are here, our merchants are
here, our churches and our schools
are here. This is where we expect
| to live and rear our families. It is uI
to us to make of this, because Oh
what it will mean to us, the best, thu
most prosperous town of which We
are able. We can best do this by
spending our money at home where
it will go back into the channels o.
the community and work for us AM
our interests.

The reason why some commune
ties seem to go ahead and get things
done and have the reputation of be-
ing alive, up and coming towns is
that the leaders of those commun-
titles sit down together at the begin
ing of the year, decide upon pro-
gram for the year, and then all
pitch in and work for it, and stay
with it, until they get the job done.
When they put one thing across they
take up another. Contrasted with
these are communities that never
seem to get anything done. They
have many plans and ideas OF things
that might be done. They meet and
talk about them, and then go home
and do nothing about it. They make
the mistake of failing to select one
project and centering all effort upon
it until it is realized. Such COM
munities never accomplish anything.
They get into the rut of talking
about many plans and centering up
ON none. No small community OF
five thousand or less has enough
man power or resources to keep a
dozen plans going and secure the
best results. The secret formula OF
community success is to select one
project and then center all effort
upon it until it is realized. Towns
that do this go places and gel
things done. They are known as live
up and coming towns, by theil
neighbors. They are the towns tina
attract people and trade.

SHOP EARLY

shopping in the past? Trarnpled toes,

Through the years at Christmas
shopping time and each year you
have insisted it wouldn't happen
again. You were late and fighting
your way down the aisle found
choice merchandise was sold before
your arrival Wiser buyers found the
best selections earlier. We under
stand that this year the sales are ex-
pected to be especially heavy and
that means more of a late rush. You
realize you get better service in Sc
lections. salesnanship and delivery
You know there will be shortages in
salespeople, trucks for delivery, that
know there will be shortages sales
people, in trucks for delivery, that
merchandise will be higher and
consequently the average buyer will
take more time making selections
This all holds good in buying your
Christmas tree in plenty OF time
Get fresh one, not one of the
straggley, scrawny ones that won't
hold needles until New Years. Get
fresh evergreens 10y usng the prin-
ciple of shopping early here, too. We
can't reform you from your ways il
you actually prefer this last minute
business, but maybe if you would try
the other way just this one year
you might realize we are only think
ing of making your Christmas a mer-
rier one Whatever we say, the stores
in Kennewick will be damned the day

TIRED SOFTLY HERE

A recent item tells of the tactless-
ness of some American manutactur-
ers in dealing with OUR South Ameri-
can neighbors. For some time we
have urged strengthening the ties
for promotion of trade with them.
Since the war South America has
had to do much buying from us and
business here has taken advantage
of their need. So trade grew until
along comes a shortage of products
here at home and the manufacturers
are not able to supply the demand
abroad. What happens is that IN
many cases the businessman abrupt
" informs his S. A. trade that he
can't meet their demands because OF
domestic needs. This calls for tact
a refusal needs diplomacy in ex-
plantations since we have worked
hard to create this market and a
good-neighbor feeling between the
two countries. But many business
houses are too busy to be tactful
There was a similarity between this
report and a complaint made by a
IASllllS"ICh lIlo1l JAoV o1AS ooAHSA NeSJ
regarding the attitude of business
now that it was so rushed with Or
ders. He mentioned the independ-
ence of many concerns who use tx
diligently seek your patronage, who
tried to sell you since you were help
ing o keep them in business. Along
came flood of orders, enough tt
keep them going without your trade
And so what happens to South Am
erica happens here at home. Cour
tesy and cooperativeness strengthen!
ties between nations and neigh
bors. Business has a code and mus
follow it in order to prosper. You
can avoid offenSe at home am
abroad by using diplomacy ant
consideration when you have to re
fuse orders. Remember this market
you may need it badly at sometim
in the future. Don't let big bushes
get the big head.

Every one admlres clean, well
kept, well painted home. Such a
home is enjoyed by not only those
who live there. and call it home, but
by everyone who has occasion to
pass it. Everyone who sees it is
filled with the same sense of COM
munity pride that the owner must
have. Most Of us, when we have
friends visit us, and desire. to show
them our town, like to show them
such places. This town has a num-
Der of homes that come in this
class. They preach and teach COM
nnunity pride to all other home own

CHRISTMAS SEALS

Space in national newspapers, ra-
dios and on screens, point to the
obligation of true sons to come to
the aid of their country 10y pur-
chasing defense stamps. Now Am
erica hears another plea for buy
ing stamps and as is usual the re-
spouse will be magnificent. This
season ones thoughts turn Christ
masward, as through hamlets the
streets are being gaily decorated,
stores displaying holiday wares, So
cial wf1irls scheduled, choirs prac-
ticing Christmas anthems as the
spirit grows stronger with each in
coming mail that carries Christ
mas seal on its cover. Each sea-
bears a message in the name Of
humanity, porrayng q need ano
naming worthy cause in the fight
against tuberculosis. There is the
chance that personal shopping
might make you overlook the chance
| to purchase these seals on sale from
Nov. %, through Dec. 25th. Lets no
| forget it in KenneWick.

The consensus OF opinion of those
who are in a position to know, is
that practically everyone in the US.
will feel the weight of the war in
1912 and 1913, if it should last that
long. 1t is confidently believed that
everyone is going to have to make
sacrifices and do without many
things to which they have been ac-
customed in the past. There is no
way of escape. Taxes will be much
higher, prices will be higher, and in
many instances incomes will not be

Lions TrudeI Within
Reach Of Scoring
Lead in League
Third With l8 Points,
Could Climb in Come
Against New Haven

Lou Trudel, the Washington Lions
h-scoring left-Winger, is conceded
an excellent chance to hop into the
American Hockey League scoring
lead this week and will be battling
to improve his position tomorrow
night when the Lions tackle the New
Haven Eagles at Uline Arena.
Currently in third place with 18
points, Trudel trails Adam Brown
of the Indianapolis Capitols by a
point. Ken Kilrea, who has moved
up from Indianapolis to the Detroit
Red Wings of the National League,
still holds the American League top
spot with 81 points, but doubtless
will relinquish first place to Brown
or Trudel this week.
Norm Calladine and Alb Ceilings,
both of the Rhode Island Reds of
Providence, are locked in fourth
place with II points, while Bill Sum-
MERRILL of Springfield is next in the
scoring line with 16 points.
Trudel is Washington's only rep
representative among the leaders.
The Lions Polly Drouin has regis
tered l3 points, while George Man
tha and Stu Smith each are credited
with 10, far back in the pack.
Leading the Eastern division, New
Haven has arrived at that position
chiefly through balance. George Pat
terson is the Eagles leading scorer
with Is points. rejecting the fact
New Haven's scoring has been dis
! tributed evenly.
