THE VILLAGE FLAPPER
Under the swinging drug store sign
The village flapper waits,
The flap, a clever kid is she,
Who never lacks for dates.
Laughing, smiling, petting,
All set for another bloke,
Each evening sees a man picked up,
Each morning sees him broke.
And so through life she lightly gives
Many a happy shout,
But yet the poor girl’s never there
When rings are handed out.
Remember the dance at Moose
Hall Saturday night. *

I Resins Found In Coal
Beds Are Valuable

in coal mined at Newcastle closely re
semble valuable Prussian amber and
copal in their properties, Dr. H. K.
Benson of the chemistry department,

out of coal," said Dr. Benson. “The
resins have not been found, however,
in large enough quantities to make
them commercially valuable.”

DEPRESSION OF LIVESTOCK
IS CAUSING HIGHER PRICES
WASHINGTON, D. C., Dec. 12.—
The usual predictions are being made
that America will face a year of high
prices in meats and a cattle shortage
| three years hence, because of the big
quantity of breeding animals being j
led to slaughter. The oppression in
livestock industry is of no little con
cern here, as the market is glutted
and prices are down. Indeed, this is
the only phase of the agricultural
situation which is conspicuous in the
discussion of farm relief at the mo
ment.
In answer to the forecasts of an ul
timate shortage in range cattle the
prediction is made in some quarters
here that the secretary of agriculture
predicted the same thing in 1921 for
1923, but it failed to materialize. The
reason probably is that the cattle
population of the country has been
difficult to measure during the stimu
lus given to production during the
war.
Just what are the factors most re
sponsible for the depression, there
fore, are matters on which official
Washington is not too well informed.
In the eighteen states in which cat
tle raising is an important industry
the opinions of the cattle man seem
to differ. Some say the drought is
the principal reason for the poor con
dition of the cattle sent to the mar
ket and the low prices offered. Others
say it is the high price of corn which
makes the fanner in the corn belt
less anxious to buy from the range.
, Still another contention is that the
, cattle men are not getting out of the
: stock a proper portion of what the
I consumer is /paying for the meat he
buys.
