CATTLE CONDITIONS THE BEST FOR YEARS
J. D. Jackson of Alpine, president of the Cat-
tle Raisers’ Association of Texas, in attendance
upon the quarterly meeting of the executive com-
mittee of that organization in Fort Worth a few
days ago, declared that prospects for the cattle-
men at this time are the brightest he has, seen for
years. - ' .
"The demand for meat upon the United States
will soon become enormous, ■ he says, inside of
the next two or three months the supply of meat
of the nations at war in Europa will be exhausted
and when the demand’s made on us I expect to
see the price of meat go up. France has already
ordered 2.000,000 pounds of meat, but that is just
enough to feed 2,000.000 men one day. When
you figure 6 the basis of one pound of meat per
day for each man engaged in this war, and take
into consideration the stupendous number of men
under arms, 5 can begin to realize the amount
of meat that this country will be called upon to
furnish *
"Most of the big steers have been placed on
the market, but there is still a large number on
the range that will be shipped soon. Most of the
cattle that will be placed during October, and
through to January, will be cows and steer yearl-
ings. These cattle should be in fine shape as the
conditions in the cattle raising districts are the
finest for years, for fattening stock. During the
National Feeders and Breeders’ show in October
I intend to exhibit several carloads of grass fatten-
ed cattle.”
The outlook for the cattle business is so bright
and the prospect for continued high prices so
promising that there is a general disposition on
the pert of stockmen to restock their ranges to the
best possible advantage, but the price of stock cat-
tie to so high that it is a very expensive proceeding.
All oyer the Southwestern range country there
has been an abundance of fall rains and the range
is as green as early springtime. All this has hap-
pened so far in advance of the frost period that
the grass will have plenty of time to mature and
will make winter grazing that will be far in excess
of that enjoyed for a number of years. In the
range country there is also an abundance of stock
water, and with plenty of both grass and water
cattle will enter the winter this year in such prime
condition that the possibility of losses will bs re-
duced to a minimum. —El Paso Times, ‘ 4

TO GIVE RATHER THAN TO GRASP
Many of the cities of the United States, sec-
tions of ths United States, the United States in
general, may be said to be engaged at present’ in
a trade-expansion movement. It is but fair to the
cities, the sections snd the country in general to
say that for this the completion of the Panama
canal is primarily responsible and that it was far
under way long before s European war in 1914
was deemed likely. Although the outbreak"' of
hostilities abroad has given the movement in some
respects a new turn and fresh impetus, there is no
question that this movement would have continued
and taken on great proportions had there been no
disturbance of world peace. As matters stand,
we do not believe that there is any widespread
desire on the pert of the business men of the
United States to secure possession of what other
nations have to abandon because of their tempo-
lary absorption in war it would probably be more
just to them to say that what they are seeking is
a legitimate share in world trade in return for
such ability as they may exercise in the develop-
ment of that trade and in return for their willing-
ness to enlist in a useful world service.
There is room and opportunity for all now, as
there has always been, as there always must be.
Trade expansion to be permanent must be the fruit
of effort made along educational lines. .It cannot
be recured, or if secured it cannot be valuable,
we are convinced, if sought by conquest or to the
disadvantage of some other country. It, must be
built up by the development and encouragement
of new and legitimate needs as the outgrowth of
new and legtimate aspirations among the people
of the earth who have net yet come under the
full influence of modern progress .
Business men of the United States, taking them
at the average estimate, are bent in their trade-
expaneion movement rather on giving than on
grasping. It is alike due to the commercial pride
and the commercial ethics of the country quite to
disclaim for its industrial and mercantile interests
any intention of taking undue advantage of the
nations now involved in war. In the larger sense
the United States and its people cannot really be
benefited by the misfortunes of their neighbors,
nor in any sense, as we view the prevailing senti-
ment of this nation, would they care to profit by
these misfortunes.—Christian Science Monitor.
A CAR UNUSUALLY WELL EQUIPPED
A young woman who had bought a new motor
car is quoted by a trade magazine as explaining
some of the car's fine points to a friend.
"My car," she raid, “is the very latest 1915
model and is equipped throughout with imported
annular ball ear-rings. It has a lean-line body,
dispatchable and denounceable rims, epileptic
springs in front and flatiron springs in the rear,
full slopping rear axle, most infernal expanding
brakes, electric stopper and starter, sailor flash
jubilation, tree point detention, sailor radiator,
three speeds horri dand one perverse, amateur on
dash board, gasoline tank asleep, 60-mile speedy
greeter, aggravated ebony rim on spearing reel,
sliding near transfusion, licorice lights and horn,
trimmers in headlights, frigid suspenders, hand-
cuffed leather upholstering, dippy curtains, bar
type foot rest, and many other latest suspectibili-
ties."—Kansas City Star.
A WAR BALLAD
The bard of the Atchison Globe thus sang out
in a recent issue:
"I grab the morning papers to see what Brit-
ain's done, or note the divers capers of German,
French and Hun, -and likewise in the gloaming I
scan the evening news to watch the armies roam-
ing from Helsingfors to Meuse. T
legion* by Uhlan* put to rout, or how in other
regions the Frenchmen slay and shout; how ships
by mines are sunken across the seven seas; the na-
tions all seem drunken on blood-thirsty sprees. 1
know that all this fighting of nations run amuck is
fields and vineyard blighting, till they'll run short
of chuck; that all the grief and sorrow which trav-
els Europe's way, will be increased tomorrow and
each succeeding day. But still I do not gather
the dreaded war's import, and read it may be, ra-
ther than t'other page of sport, until I note the
figures athwart the grocer’s ad, and then you bet,
by jiggers, this warfare makes me sad."
GALVESTON HAS
COMMERCIAL ASSOCIATION is
HELPING PRODUCERS AND
BUYERS TO MEET
GALVESTON, Tex.. Sept 14—
All South Texas farmers—tenant
farmers preferably—who desire to
sell a single bale of cotton at 10
cents a pound, middling basis, f. o
b. Galveston, are now invited to send
their names and
cremes Run
Galveston Commercial A ssociation.
The "Buy a Bale of Cotton" move-
ment has received endorsement by
tee Association’s Committee on Traf-
fic and Commerce, and a concerted
effort is now being made to get a
list of names of both buyers and
sellers. The city of Galveston will
be thoroughly canvassed for buyers.
Applications . from all farmers de-
sirious of selling a single bale on
these terms will be numbered con-
secutively as they are received by
the Association. The names of Gab
vestonians who will buy * bale will
also be numbered consecutively as
they are obtained. The bele of far-
mer. No. 1 will be delivered to buy-
er No. 1 by the Association. Any
needed information about details of
buying or shipping will be furnished
by the Association without charge.
But one bale from any farmer will
be handled on this beats Shipping
papers with the cotton should be ac-
companied by an affidavit that the
seller grew ths cotton.
The movemeat le planned primar-
ily to benefit farmers who find it
hard to hold their cotton. The com-
plete cooperation of all concerned
should result to removing from the
market a large quantity of outh Tex-
a* distress cotton.

WASHINGTON UNIX NOT
AID COTTON FARMERS
WASHINGTON, D, c., Sept 14 —
It to reported here that government
officials will take no further steps
to aid cotton producers to meet the
unusual conditions caused by the
European war. This decision was
reached after many days of deli-
beration. Those to Washington who
have studied the situation arrived at
the conclusion that the matter could
best be handled by the co -operation
of farmers and business men to their
respective communities and by legis-
lative aid from the state law making
bodies.
The Treasury Department will
continue to accept warehouse re-
ceipts as a basis for additional na-
tional baak currency.

Times may be a little hard until
a market opens for cotton, but we
don't believe that any one in this
section will starve, as some are talk-
ing it. Some folks get scared too
quick.—Mount Enterprise Herald.
It’s the demand for cotton that
gives it value. When one can go
on the exchange andebuy fifty bales
for what he will have to pay for one
bale on the street, doesn’t it stand
to reason that the fifty-bale purchase
will help the producer more than
the one-bale purchase? For spots
follow futures—Waco Times-Herald'
A move naa been started over the
state called “the buy-a-bale-of-cot-
ton" move. All the drummers of
Texas have agreed to buy one bale
of cotton each at III a pound. Other
citizens: have entered into the plan,
and thus a million or more bales
of cotton will be bought and the
money placed directly in the hands
of the farmers, especially tenant
farmers, and such a move should
result In good. Everybody who has
$50 that can possibly be spared
should buy a bale of cotton.—Mount
Enterprise Herald.
The buy-a-bale-of-cotton plan is
gaining considerable headway in
Texas, and nearly every town in
the state is beginning to study the
problem with a view to organising
a buy-a-bale club. The plan is .to
buy a bale not from a large land
I read of Russian owner for from * cotton firm which
purchased its cotton at from 6 to 8
cents, a pound and thereby make
a profit on the staple but to see
that the purchase le made from a
tenant farmer or from a small land
owner who has bought a small tract
of land and has the interest on hi*
note to meet. — Yoakum Herald

tal cannot be attracted
in the important Eastern rate case
the Interstate Commerce Commis-
sion unanimously found that the
railroads in the richest section of
the country needed more revenue.
That finding wan based upon the
situation prior to the first of July,
tats year; indeed, upon conditions of
a year previous.
No emphasis need et this time he
put upon the new railroad capital
which has heretofore been required
to provide for normal development,
bat this has been from $400,000,000
to $500,000,000 per annum, and
railroads should not only be able
to keep abreast of the times .but
should even in this emergency be in
a position to anticipate the de-
mands of an expanding commerce.
Simultaneously with the great im-
pairment of earnings, general cre-
dit conditions have broken down,
and the absolute and immediate ne-
cessities of both public and private
borrowers of money here and abroad
have already increased interest rates
to a level unthought of a few
months ago—rates much higher
than present get earnings return
upon the railroad property of the
United States.
“This emergency was not contem-
plated when the Interstate Commerce
Commission rendered it* decision In
the Eastern rate case, yet the pro-
blems now confronting the railroads -
greatly transcend in a-seriousness
those Which existed then. The
menace is now not only to railroad
credit but to the transportation ser-
vice itself, and efficient transporta-
tion is inseparably connected with
the welfare of our people.
Securities of United States rail-
roads hold abroad are computed at
from three to five billion dollars. It
is a certainty that bond and note
obligations of the railroads matur-
ing before the end of next year ag-
greate over $520,000,000. In the
highest public interest It is impera-
tive that these obligations shall be
met. Yet it is evident that for a
long time Europe will not be a lead-
er of money to America.. On the
contrary the war will create such
enormous debts and involve such a
general dislocation of industry and
commerce, that Europe must realise
i largely on its holdings of American
securities regardless of the price ob-
tainable.
The New York Stock Exchange
has now been closed for a longer
period than at any otuer time in
Ita history. There le no present mar-
ket for railroad securities, either old
or new. The United States is in
a condition of financial insolation.
If the Stock Exchange were to open
land it must open some time), the
preaaure of selling would inevitably
. be greatest against railroad securi-
ties. If they go down, industrial is-
sues will fall still more seriously.
The public necessity to stem this tide
of selling and to reduce to the ut-
moet Its destructive effect, calls for
toe exercise of every resource of
statesmanship.
Our respectful request* are:
1. That the President will call the
attention of the country to the press-
1g necessity for the support of rail-
road credit by the co-operative and
sympathetic effort of the public and
of all governmental authorities, and
suggest that the railroads be reliev-
ed as far as possible of further im-
mediate burdens involving additional
expense, and
2 That the President will urge a
practical recognition of the fact that
an emergency has arisen which re-
quires. in the public interest, that
the railroads have additional reve-
nue, and that the appropriate gov-
ernmental agencies seek a way by
which such additional revenue may
be properly and promptly provided.

It is good to read the splendid re-
ports coming in on the "buy-a-bals-
of-cotton” movement. Al McKinney
a farmer drove up to the square with
a bale and a business man stepped
out and said: I want thia bale at
10 rente a pound. What does it
weight?" The farmer answered:
“It weighed 620 pounds at the gin.”
The business man then said
"Unload it right in front of my
store," and gave him a check for
$52. The farmer offered to weigh
the bale at the public scales, but
the business man would not have
it *o, saying that he would take the
farmer's word for it as gulekly as he
would the public weigher’s. Yes, it
is good to see this hearty and ear-
