made at a meeting here of the breed

herds of pure-bred cattle, swine and
sheep." said Mr. Hopley. He pre.
dieted better prices later ana saig
this certainty made present invest
ment in pure-bred live stock the saf
est investment in the world.

much inclination by breeders of pure

circle and tell only among them
selves. This should be replaced by
more setting to the farmer who
wants to build up a herd tor Deel
purposes." said the Cass county man.
"Every farm in Cass county should
have its pure-bred live stock," said
the speaker.

New Crisis Arises
In Street Car Muddle;
May Tear Up Tracks
Des Moines, la., Oct II. (Special
Telegram.) Negotiations for a new
street car franchise and resumption
of car service were brought to a new
crisis when the city council norfied
receivers for the company that they
would not sanction that portion of
the new franchite which permit the
sale of electricity on the part of the
car company for commercial pur
poses. This daute was one strong point
for the company upon which they
had already started negotiations for
the sale of the car system to the
electric company interests.
It Is possible that the elimination
oi this feature may mean a complete
discontinuance of franchise negotia
tions. One councilman stated that
if such was the outcome he would
(.ivor immediately tearing tip the
tricks.
At the same time the council also
instructed their corporsoon counsel
to petition Federal Judge Wad to
order immediate resumption of serv
ice under the existing franchise.
