EXPERT PREDICTS
MEAT SHORTAGE
AT NINTH ANNUAL CONVENTION
OF AMERICAN MEAT PACKERS’
UNION IN CHICAGO.
WORLD TO FEED ARMIES
BAYS EUROPEAN CONFLICT AND
WANING HERDS OF AMERICA
WILL RESULT IN DISTRESS.
Western Newspaper Union News Service.
Chicago.—Shortage of a meat supply
faces the world as a result of the
European war, George L. McCarthy of
New York, secretary of the American
Moat Packers’ Union, asserted before
the ninth annual convention of the as
sociation which opened here Monday.
"Europe will soon exhaust Its own
food supply and then will draw on the
world to feed Its huge armies and help
less populations,” McCarthy said. "The
results will be felt the world over.
Taken in connection with the fact that
this country is extremely short of food
animals, the prospect for an abundant
supply, either in the United States or
abroad, is not encouraging.”
Light on the diminishing beef sup
ply, the waning herds on the American
cattle ranges, methods to be adopted
to induce farmers to raise more stock
and the effects of the war on the cost
of food products Is expected to be shed
in the convention. More than 700 rep
resentatives'of 500 packing and supply
houses are attending the convention.
E. T. Cash of St. Louis, heading a
delegation which seeks to bring next
year’s convention to St. Louis, said
the young men of today have a good
chance to get rich raising hogs.
Among subjects for consideration
will be a request for the government
to make an appropriation to stamp out
tuberculosis in-cattle and to have the
tax removed from oleomargarine.
Jameß Craig, Jr., president of the
association, predicted the time when
practically every industry in the coun
try would be under government super
vision. .
James E. Poole of Chicago said large
areas on which cattle might be raised
lie idle; that more and more farmers
arc turning their hay and corn directly
into cash instead of feeding livestock.
He added that one reason for this was
the difficulty of financing breeding
operations, and suggested that postal
savings, on which the government
pays 2 per cent, could be loaned to cat
tlemen at 8 per cent and that this
would revive the waning industry
within ten years. He attacked the
law which gives certain water rights
to homesteaders, asserting that for
every water course given over to the
private ownership of a homesteader
the country is deprived of 1,000 cattle.
The report of the executive commit
tee touching animal disease declared
that $200,000,000 worth of livestock is
lost annually through preventable dis
ease. The government, however, it
was stated, was doing excellent work
in combatting this waste.
Man Leaps Bridge to Escape Engine.
Denver. —Dean Rennick, 32, who
came to Denver recently from the
northern Colorado beet fields, where
he had been employed, jumped from a
railroad trestle into the Platte river,
making the leap in fear that he was
about to be struck by a locomotive. He
landed on a pile of slag in the river.
His right nnkle was badly broken, but
ho dragged himself through the water
to the bank of the river, and there he
was found about 7 o’clock the follow
ing morning and was taken to the
county hospital.
TAX INCREASE IS UPHELD.
State Levy la Raised and SIOO,OOO
More Revenue Is Provided.
Denver. —The State Board of Equal
ization accepted all recommendations
of the State Tax Commission for In
creases In county valuations, refused
the claims of public utility corpora
tions that the assessments of their
properties should be lowered, and
fixed the state tax levy for 1914 at
1.39 mills. „
The levy Is an Increase of .09 mills
over that for 1913, and will bring to
the state about SIOO,OOO more revenue,
needed because of payments of inter
est on bonds and failure to make some
collections in the last year.
It will enable the state government
to pay In full all appropriations made
by the Legislature, Including those for
all state Institutions.
The total assessed valuation of the
state, which was fixed by the tax com
mission and upon which the levy was
made, Is $1,311,210,345.
The total estimated revenue, which
the state will obtain under the levy,
ia $1,822,582.
Simple.
Pat found Jt impossible to believe
that the earth is round, in spite of the
numerous arguments of an eminent
astronomer.
"But look here. Pat," said the latter,
"you mußt see that the earth can’t be
anything else but round. Now, tell
me, where does the sun rise?”
"In the east, of course,” said Pat.
"And where does it set?”
"Why, in the west.”
"Well, then, hc.w does it manage to
get back in the east again by the
morning? Tell me that?”
Pat thought hard for a minute. Then
an intelligent look dawned in his eye.
"Why, of course,” said he, at last,
“it Jußt slips back at night."—Cleve

The Cause Laid Bare
Tea and coffee drinkers often notice
backache, headache, rheumatic pain, dlx
zlness, drowsy, tired feelings, disturbed
i urination and other signs of kidney weak
ness. The constant use of narcotic or al
coholic drinks is very apt to Irritate the
kidneys, and weak kidneys need prompt
| help to avert all danger of dropsy, gravel
; or fatal Bright's disease. Avoid the use
of stimulants, drink more water, get more
rest, fresh air and exercise. To tone and
strengthen the tired kidneys, use Doan's
Kidney Pills, the most successful and
highly recommended kidney remedy.
