More Than $50 at
Feeder Tour
Dinner Here Jan. !

More than $50 farmers,
ranehers, livestock feeders and
other interested persons attend
ed the Feeder Day tour and
dinner held in Hardin Wednes-
day.
A feature which attracted
special interest was the stock
grading demonstration by Lewis
Hablas of>Fargo, N. D., a rep
resentatiVe of Armour and COM
pany.
Feedlots visited were those of
Alex Rider, where cattle feed
ing operations and grading. of
feeder cattle were seen; Fred
Schneider, where lambs are
being fed; Harry Teller, where
lamb grading was demonstrated,
and the Holly Sugar corpora
ton for demonstration of fat
cattle grades.
A roast lamb dinner was
served in the banquet room of
the Masonic temple at noon by
the ladies of the Sunshine club.
Mr.. Hablas, in his talk dur
ing the afternoon, remarked on
the possibilities for increased
feeding operations in the Big
Horn valley. He pointed out
that conditions for feeding live
stock here are nearly ideal,
since it is possible to give the
stock an excellent ration with
out any shipped in feeds.
DR.. Hadleigh Marsh of the
Montana Veterinary Research
laboratory, Rozeman, discussed
feedlot diseases.
F. A. Ralston, extension live
stock specialist, reviewed Feed
lot Rations." He urged that no
reduction be made in the size
of breeding herds. IF these
herds become any smaller, he
said, not enough feeder cattle
will be produced to supply the
demand.

VIII Conduct Active
Campaign for
March of Dimes

The annual March of Dimes,
Spearhead of the fight against
infantile paralysis, will again be
held throughout the nation Jan.
Is to 80, it was announced this
week by Robert A. Vickers, 194S
March of Dimes chairman for
Big Horn county.
"The cost of fighting infantile
paralysis has skyrocketed,"
Chairman VickerS said, in point
ing out that rising prices and
mounting polio incidence have
drawn heavily on the resources
of the National Foundation for
Infantile Paralysis, which this
year celebrates the tenth ami
Versary of its founding.
The March of Dimes commit
tee plans to make the 1913 ap-
peal a record demonstration of
this areas active interest in
helping the children of America
who are stricken with polio.
VickerS stated that arrange
ments are being made 'to make
the two weeks of the fund-raiS-
ing drive an entertaining and
instructive lesson in public-spir-
tied citizenship"
every phase of community
life will participate in sending
a. ringing message of hope to
the unfortunate victims of this
Gripping disease, which has
stricken $4,000 Americans in the
past five years." Vickers con-
tinued. "Everu community in
Big Horn county will, as in the
past, do its share towards max
ing the 1913 campaign the most
productive in Big Horn county'S
history. Every woman can help
in this worthy cause by closely
cooperating with each fund
raising project and even our
children viii take an active part
in helping the less fortunate by
participating in the March of
Dimes school activities.
big Horn county has had
numerous cases of polio to take
care of during the past two
years, nearly all of whom, due
to the funds provided by the
National Foundation to make up
the deficit in our chapter urea
sury, some nearly $1,000, have
recovered sufficiently to care
for themselves. This is the
democratic way in fighting a
humanitarian war against di-
Sease."

Ro~ W. Babson
;@s.fs Predictions
For Year Of 1q48
BY: Roger w. Babson

194S in a Nutshell
BUSINESS: Watch out after
November 2, 1913.
COMMODITIES: Whole sale
price peak in sight.
TAXES: Personal income
taxes will be somewhat lower.
LABOR: WageWorkerS to use
Taft-Hartley Bill as check on
labor leaders.
REAL ESTATE: Increased
suburban building.
POLITICS: Election year
propaganda.
STOCKS: A year for switch
ing.
BONDS: Low-coupon rate,
long-term bonds will be lower.
/. 1913 will be, more or less,
of a duplicate of 1947. Certain
ly there will be no depression"
as so many peSSimiStS are
talking about, but fundamental
conditions will become increaS-
ingly less favorable. Watch out
after November 2, 1913.
General Business
2. The above paragraph an
plies mostly to gross business,
Certain industries will show
smaller net profits. This means
that, in some cases, dividends
may be less in 1948. Remember
some things may be allocated
or rationed again in 1948.
8. The reconVersion from wal
to peace has been entirely
completed; war SURPRISES are
pretty well disposed of; and
1948 will even show a resump-
ton of military purchases.
4. inventories, quoted both at
their price value and their
volumes, will increase during
1913. Both raw material piles
and manufactured goods will
be in greater supply during
1913.
Commodity Prices
5. Notwithstanding the above
paragraph, some ALLEGATIONS OF
priorities may be reinStated in
1948l The public is sick Of high
prices and Wi make demands
for some price controls in the
case of certain products in
short supply.
g.. The retail price of some
goods, other than food prod
ucts, will be higher during
1913 as the final turn has not
yet been reached in all types
of goods.
z. We expect to see the peak
i'm wholesale commodity prizes
sometime during 1913. We.
therefore, advise going easy on
inventories, especially on Dor
rowed money.
g. Retail price changes will
lag after wholesale price
changes. This explains why we
expect retail prices on good
quality merchandise to hold un
for awhile after wholesale
prices begin to decline. BUT
1913 WILL BE A YEAR OF
WAR PREPARATIONS.
Farm Outlook
9. The total farm income for
1913 should approximately

Shipping Industry Supports Scheme Made by Rep-

SAN FRANCISCO. Sept 30-P- Shipping industry leaders today supported a proposal for an extra session of Congress to deal with the West Coast maritime strike.
