That everyone Interested in meat
from the stock raiser to the con
tumor may have the benefit of
knowing market condition in the
meat Industry, the bureau of mar
kets, United States department of
agriculture, insues daily and other
reports to facilitate distribution, im
prove, transportation, stabilize values
and to help the producers in placing
their stock where It will sell to the
best advantage.
On the assumption that the dis
semination of market Information
will tend to Improve conditions, the
bureau of markets has developed a
system of market reporting that bas
already had some effect la restoring
confidence In the markets. While
the Information made available by
the bureau Is being used most ex

In some branch of the livestock or

The better distribution of livestock
receipts resulting from information
obtained from the loading reports
enables commission men and buyers
to render better service in handling
livestock after It arrives at the stock
yards. Heavy receipts arriving un
expectedly create congestion and
confusion, which in turn invariably
result in unnecessary shrinkage and
costly delays, working in reality an
Injury to the producer and thereby
discouraging production.

stock reporting system of the bureau
of markets consists of the telegraphic
bulletins prepared by representatives
of the Chicago and Kansas City of
fices, and issued from time to time
during the market hours of each day.
They report the actual livestock ar
rivals and the exact conditions of the
market, and are transmitted over the
bureau's leased wires to other mar
kets where local offices are estab
lished. Markets all over the coun
try rely on these dally reports, and
these prices are used as a basis in
determining values.
Steady progress .has been made by
the bureau In collecting and distrib
uting information obtained from
grazing and feeding sections, which
is of use in lessening market conges
tion and preventing violent fluctua
tions in values. Reports on meats in
storage are issued monthly. The
bureau also issues monthly reports
on receipts and shipments of live
stock in eighty-one of the leading
stockyards in the country. In addi
tion the bureau furnishes a weekly
bulletin, the "Livestock and Meat
Trade News," which supplies miscel
laneous trade information coming
from outside sources. All of the re
ports issued by the bureau are given
wide publicity and are available to
any person who has use for them.

ranted margin of profit.
Maikct lU'poi-Ung System.
The present market reporting sys
tem, which was begun in the fall of
1916, has developed rapidly, and at
present there are seventeen service
centers, each of which distributes
daily, weekly and monthly reports on
the various branches of the industry.
These include daily reports on meat
trade conditions in Ronton, New
York, Philadelphia, Washington, San
Francisco, Pittsburgh and Los An
geles; daily reports on livestock
loadings; dally reports on the esti
mated receipts and prices of live
stock at Chicago and Kansas City;
reports of livestock movements in
grazing and feeding sections; month
ly reports on stocks of frozen and
cured meats, eggs and '' poultry;
monthly reports on livestock receipts
and shipments at all public stock
yards, and monthly estimates on the
supply of marketable livestock.
The report on meat trade condi
tions at leading markets brings to
,the small dealers, as well as to pro
ducers, information that was former
ly possessed only by the larger meat
packing institutions. Specialists ob
tain full Information daily on the
fresh meat supply, including various
grades of beer, veal, pork, lamb and
mutton at the markets, and this in
formation Is tabulated and distrib
uted widely by telegraph, through a
leased wire system, to meat market
centers. In a similar manner daily
nrlce Quotations are furnished on
different grades of livestock. As ap
plied to fresh meats, this servloa re
sults in giving to the public full In
formation as to the supply and ac
curate data on values of all commer
cial grades. Secrecy Is eliminated,
so that when prices on meats are
high, as compared with values on
foot, it Is possible to locate the
profiteer.
Shipments Reported Daily.
Daily reports prepared by the bu
reau furnish the Industry with in
formation on livestock shipments.
This Information is obtained from
transportation companies, who re
port by wire each night to the Chi
cago office of the bureau. The wide
distribution of this Information tends
to stabilize values. It furnishes the
producer information which will en
able blm to ship his stock to mar
kets where there is the greatest de
mand. A knowledge of the demand
by smaller plants, which these re
ports furnish, has a tendency to stim
ulate competition among buyers
with the subsequent effect of raising
values. Also, when th amount of
livestock moving from production
areas is known. It is possible to reg
ulate the supply of cars needed and
to determine whether car shortages

tells u that meat forms urio acid which,

OWES PEN-NAME TO PRINTER
George Russell Explains Why His
' Writings Art 8lgned With Mys
terious Pseudonym "A. E."
One of the most Interesting figures
of Irish literary and political life Just
now I George Himell, perhaps better
known as "A. K." a curiously In
triguing pseudonym. The mysterious
Initials have a strange origin. A;
dreamer and artist from boyhood, In
till Armagh home, he began at the age!
of seventeen or eighteen to paint a
series of pictures of his d renin world
to Illustrate the history of man from
bin origin In the mind of the Creator.
First, there were vngue, monstrous
forms, then flipires of men-bensts and
men-lilrds, and finally the divine Idea,
the perfect form of man In space.
Young Russell called this series
"The Iilrth of Aeon," a reminiscence,
probably, of some of his gnostic read
ings, and so Impressed was he with
the Idea that he resolved straightway
to adopt the word "Aeon" ns hit
pseudonym. A printer, however, of
one of Russell's earliest writings, find
ing the hard writing not easy to de
cipher, set tip only the first two let
ters, with a question mark for the
rest. Russell, correcting the proof, de
leted the quastlon mark, leaving the
two vowels standing, and thus he has
signed his writings ever since. Mun

"I was talking to my little grand
daughter over the telephone the oth
er day," said an old man recently
to a few of his friends at a hotel,
"and when I ended I said, 'Here,
Dorothy, Is ft kiss for you.' She re
plied, 'Oh, pshaw, grandpa! Don't
you know that a kiss over the tele
phone is like a straw hat?' I said,
'Why, no, sweetheart, how's that?'
'It's not felt, grandpa,' she said."

Martin Parmer was one of the first
of the federal Indian agents in Mis
souri. He was appointed to the place
because be had proved that he had a
very considerable Influence over the
Indians, with whom he had many bat
tles when he first came to the state.
It is related of him that he had as his
guest an Indian who was called Two
Heart because he had killed a white
man and eaten his heart. Parmer
prepared for the Indian a great meal
of meat and then stood over him with
a knife, compelling him to eat the
whole of the repast, which proved
fatal, just as Parmer had Intended.
After he had become a citizen of
Texas his. favorite bear dog died and
he serit 50 miles for a clergyman to
ofllclate at the Interment, the minister
not knowing It was a dog and presum
ing It to be a member of the Parmer
family. Houston Post.
