Livestock Outlook For
1941 Is Bright
A bright outlook for livestock farmers
in 1941 is Indicated by the Increased
defense activity, says Prof
E. II. Hosteller. Stale College animal
husbandman. People oat mor?~
moat when they are working ano
earning regularly, he ..pointed out,
and the farmer who combines livestock
production with cottori or tobacco
growing will benefit the most
Prof, lfostetler says that the reemployment
will help the livestockcotton
farmer In two ways, namely:
Workers can utilize more cotton,
and they can. consume more of the
livestock products that are products
through the feeding of cotton
' , seed by-products. - . ,
In this connection, the State College
leader cited a recent estimate
that , one hour's wage received by
the average American will brfv 2.1
pounds of beef, whereas the same a
mount of labor will earn an English
man only 1.4 pounds of beer, a German
0.9 of a pound, and a Russian
0.3 of a pound?when meat is available
at any price. - ? . *

e
With Aunt Abby, Anita left for
Reno.
With Benton, Tony arrived in
, New York. And the first thing he
did was seek out Bishop Peabody.
He found the Bishop in a sweatshirt,
refereeing a boxing match
between two choir boys, in the
church gymnasium.- Tony came over
to him.
"I was given to understand that
I might find Bishop Peabody here."
"That's quite right. I'm not
'bishoplng' at the moment."
"I see. Where's my wife?"
"You're . . . you're 'Arturo' , . .
known also the The Oreat', aren't
you? Well, my boy, I can't tell you
where she is.
"Look here, air! If you don't
let me see her ? you're going to
ruin the rest of her lire!" He
gulped, as the Bishop laughed.
'The rest of mine, too ? which, of
course, doesn't trouble you."
The Bishop was kindly, but firm.
He refused to tell Tony of Anita's
whereabouts. Tony was between
tears and defiance when he left,
and the Bishop watched him go...
Nothing could persuade Tony to
leave New York; he stayed, for
word from her, and performed at
the local picture houses. Then, one
night, the Bishop was at the stage
oor. Tony stopped deed.

"Yes. ? she's divorced .you."
"Divorced me?" His voice died, ^
h<-n whispered. "Moms did .
ihnt.... ?"
The Bishop's voice was kind.
"I'm sorry." he said." . 1
"Where Is she?" I
"On a cruise of some kind?from
San 'Francisco."
The staRC manager called for J
Tony, and the Bishop watched him '
stumble on to the stage. He was
dared, and his hands trembled. ?
He dropped several cards, started !

had a proposition. Lsda and
ron.v would team up again. as soon
is Tony learned of -Anita's marriage;
then they would play the ,
famous Orphans' Benefit, sponsored
by old man Bingham, the milionnlre.
Tony was through now,
but as soon as he went on stage
train, he would he hooked.' "I
snow those hams." Morrissey said.
"That applause ? It's like dope."
Tony, beside himself, dropped
wcrytjiing. and took Benton to the
armhouse In Connecticut, to Aula's
dream house. It was winter
row. and the place was bare. Tony
luddled on a cot before the flrc>!ace:
Benton worried about food. ,
ic came In with a nearly empty
ran of beans and patted Herman,
he intelligant rabbit, who was on
he hearth.
"Sir. I don't want you to think
'm complaining, - but we're down
jm
Fie Connecticut farmhouse.
0 let's see ? seven ? ten
leans. And hfter beans ? what?"
"I don't know. I suppose I should
nsist on your leaving."
"Thank you, sir ? but you're alnost
bound to return to your
enses, sir.? You see...the trouble
with 'eating your heart out', sir ?
s that you're still hungry."
"Ah ? an epigram!"
"And when the woman's stopped
hinking of you ? "
Tony broke In, almost shouting.
She'll never give a tinker's damn
or anybody but me ? that's one
Jiing I know!"
He mused, and was interrupted
iv a knock on the door. It was
sorrissey, with Lola ? and food.
Vlldly; Tony and Benton dove into
fee basket, full of turkey and
hampagne. As soon as he could,
dorrissey told Tony of the benefit
or the next night. Then Tony,
irotestlng, heard Morrissey say:
"Tony ? there's tough news."
"Tough news?"
"If I could get you back into
1 am ess without spilling It ? I
rould."
"Lrt's have- it!" Tony yelled.
"Anita married a man named
lames ? this afternoon."
Tony's shoulders dropped. Hie
ace fumed white. Then he turnid,
suddenly to Morrissey.
"Look, see what you can get for
bis house ? for everything here!
)he wasn't even square enough to
ell me there was someone else!
Veil, I've done enough thinking
ibout her!"
"That's the old spirit. Tony!"
"I'll play that benefit! Yes, and
Ml go out on the road! I'll show
icr! I'll he the biggest ? "
Then, spent with his outburst.
Tonv wilted, and looked at then
iel"lessly. "Look, get out ? do
