MEAT IN UNITED STATES
WILL SOON BE A RARITY
Henry J. Williamson, a govern
ment statistician in the depart
ment of agriculture at Washing
ton, who has just completed a
tour of inspection over a large
portion of the West and South
west, made the statement in Chi
cago a few days ago that "Meat in
America will be a rarity before
the war ends with its drain on
our scanty supply. The number
of cattle has diminished and the
population increased progressive
ly for ten years until now they
are too widely divergent to hope
to get a full supply for at least ten
years more.
"Unless scientific breeding for
increase is general and the slaugh
ter of calves ceases, before five
years have expired America will
find herself in the class of Euro
pean countries that have to im
port beef,” declared Mr. William
«:nn
Increased prices for meat and
leather goods were forecast by
government and stock-yards ex
perts who have complied figures
estimating the visible supply of
cattle at 35,000,000 including
calves, yearlings and full-grown
stock.

R. T. HERRINGTON & SON
PETER PUNCHER SAYS
Do the right thing today, and
the wrong thing can never be
done, for it is one eternal “today”
with everyone.
It is the imperative duty ot
' every man to make it as easy to
do good as it is to breath There
by so doing it becomes a difficult
task for anyone to do wrong.
Truth frees a man, and keeps
him free, but a lie enslaves him
and keeps him in bondage. Keep
, truth in the heart and it will be
on the lips, and adorn the life.
Some men talk and then think,
j Others think and then talk. Wom
l en are exempt from thinking, be
cause if they stopped to think,
they would get behind with their
4^11.:_
! uii iui
Sin opens an easy way to wrong.
But Scriptural righteousness opens
an easy path to doing right. Any
man who is living openly in sin
makes it a hard task for his fel
low-man to do just right.
Truth is the foundation on
which the mental, moral and com
mercial character must rest, if you
want to build a substantial struc
ture. The truth surpressed when
it should be told, is the worst kind
of lying. ______
Influence is a titanic and dy
namic force. It both draws, and
drives. If it is good, well; if it :s
bad, then h—1. No man can lasso :
and hold his influence. Neither j
can he shift his responsibility. It
grips him with hooks of steel.
Most men like a leaning tree, “fall
the way they lean.’’
Most men are honest, but an
out-and-out, and an in and in hon
est man is not found every time
you meet a man. To say a man
is as honest as the days are long
is only a half compliment. But
to say he is as honest as the day
and night are long then you
1 have the honest man.
