I'latlo Valley School ltiilldlng Rums.
Firo Monday afternoon dostroyod
tho brick building known as tho
Platto Valley school seven mllos west
of town. Tho roof and tho intorior
wns burned, and whllo tho walls
woro left standing they nro said to be
fo badly warped that thoy will need
be torn down.
The origin of tho Ire Is not definite
ly known', but somo think, that soot
accumulated in tho chimney, caught
flro and falling In a moss bn tho roof
set flro to tho shingles. The touchers
and pupils heard peculiar noises which
inrreased in volumo as tlmo Massed.
Tho furnace was oxamlned and found
to bp all right, but on going outside
I the roof was found nblazo.
Tho building was erected In 1912
at a cost of about $8,000. An InBiir
nnco of 35,000 was carried. A tempor
ary buildlna; Is being erected In which
thp term of school will bo finished.

These newspaper quotations
represent live cattle prices in
Chicago on December 30th, 1918.
The list shows price ranges
on nine general classified groups
with a spread of $13.85 per cwt.
the lowest at $6.50 and the
highest at $20.35.
Why this variation in price?
Because the meat from differ
ent animals varies greatly in
quality and weight.
Although the quotations
shown are in nine divisions,
Swift & Company grades cattle
into 34 general classes, and each
class into a variety of weights
and qualities.
As a result of these differences in
cattle prices, (due to differences in
'weights and meat qualities), there is a
range of 15 cents in Swift & Com
pany's selling prices of beef car
casses. These facts explain:
1 Why retail prices vary in
different stores.
2 Why it would be difficult to
regulate prices of cattle or
beef.
3 Why it requires experts to
judge cattle and to sell meat,
so as to yield the profit of
only a fraction of a cent a
pound a profit too small to
affect prices.
