SHORTAGE OF MEAT
CAUSES CONCERN
Agricultural Department
Expects to Issue Bulle
tin to Farmers
Washington. October 11.—Shortage of
meat in the United States and the way
to increase the supply ate dlscused by ex
perts in the department of agriculture in j
a special bulletin issued today to the
farmers of the country. That there is a
decided meat shortage is explained by
James M. Pickens of the bureau of animal
industry, while George M. Rommell, chief
of the animal-husbandry division, urges
malntainance and increase in the meat
supply by revival of beef cattle raising in
the corn belt, its extension in the eastern
states and increasing the production of
beef cattle and hogs in the south.
“The high cost o& meat is a serious
reality." says Mr. Pickens, “and it is
now obvious that the rise in prices In
recent years is the natural result of ac
tual shortage in production. The condi
tion is reflected in the per capita con
sumption of meat in the United States
which is said to have fallen off 10 pounds
in four years. It is evident that the
country is facing an era of short produc
tion of meat and that some constructive
means must be adopted If the American
appetite for this class of food Is to be
supplied.”
The bulletin points out that in the last
six years the number of beef cattle In
the country apparently has fallen off
over 30 per cent, while the population has
increased. Department estlrpates show*
the number of beef cattle in the country
on January 1, 1907, was 51.566,000, and at
the beginning of the present year only
36,030,000, while the number of dairy cows
remained practically stationary.

Montgomery, October 11.—(Special.)
Witnesses in the Nashville, Chatta

Savings Accounts—
Antidote for Fear
Ever since man has used money as a medium of exchange, there has-been
arguments put forth and examples cited by men large in its possession in
favor of saving it.
But there has been one argument and one example entirely neglected, and
that is this: A Savings Account Eliminates Fear.
If we will just think, it will occur to us that fear is-the cause of the evil in
the transactions between man and man and the unhappiness of individual
man.
Fear is the foundation of greed.
Fear renders man weak and weakness renders him dishonest.
It isn’t the fact that we have the actual money in the bank; that we can go
to it and check it out the minute we have an illness; a business misfortune
or a death in the family.
It is the fact we do not fear the lack of money to meet these emergencies;
we are free to use our time, thought and energy in production and the pur
suit of happiness, rather than in fearing a consequence.
The greatest of all problems, particularly to young men, is the bread and
butter problem.
The more a man fears the bread and butter problem, the further he is al
ways away from it.
Every dollar that a man is able to put to a savings account he ifc just that
much further away from fear and just that much nearer the solution of
the main issue.
We pay 4 per cent interest compounded semi-annually on savings deposits.
