He's the chap I like to know, For to Jiim the world is jolly And he helps me find it so. There's a .wealth of satisfaction, There's an endless fund of joy For the man who seeks amusement With the spirit of a boy. Health depends on recreation And a merry state of mind Just the sort of wholesome pleasure Inat an active lad will find.

A quarter of a century ago there was one automobile for every 8,5uv people in the United States. Ten years ago there was one automobile for every 83 people, while today the motor population Is one-sixth as large as the bumau population, or one car to every six people. This rapid growth has put the utomobtle as foremost among American Industries, but It has also produced fearful menace to the public, points out the Safety Council which has for Its purpose the prevention of automobile accidents. A vigorous campaign of public education must be pushed If annual rate of automobile fatalities is to be reduced from L'2.000. WAYNEWOOD THEATRE. Feburary 6th to 13th. Monday.

Till; Urge demnuil for both feeuer and fat cattle, rinds the Sesrg-Roehuck Agricultural Foundation In Itr cattle marketing investigations, has In spired a much greater confidence In the future of the Industry. The first re covery of the beef cattle market came early In VSZi with a steadily progress ing trend of prices from February to August. The average prices paid to farmers, slates the Foundation, in the first ten months of the year ran 6."S cents higher than the prices or lust year and the highest since JOW. Chicago prices were also the highest for that period for the lust five years. Liquidation of western cattle lierdo was much less noticeisble In JSCS than In any year since 1!1!, Khnwine that the cattle industry Is gradually getting hack to a state of normalcy. The total number of cattle, slaughtered under federal Inspection In lfl2. was 5 er rent grenter than In 1924. Baby beef, made from young cattle that huve been pushed to a desirable 'market weight of around 1,000 pound at an early r.ge, brought the highest prices. I"ul)lic demand for smaller cuts of choice beef have made the half-ton baby beef popular on the market. 1925 WHEAT PRICES AND RECEIPTS 1 PRICE PER WEEKLY TREND OF CASH WHEAT PRICES AND RECEIPTS I TOTAL b'Jshel jATpijM ara7rma7JuuxaugTsW IncvIq E d pcs CHICAGO IN BUSHELS J?:n0 I 26000000 V. 95 1 j , JOOOjOOJL io A i prices!

Real Estate Phone 300 Insurance V rpHE 105 wheat market has been one of many surprises for the growers i of both winter and spring wheat, states the Sears-Itoebuck Agricultural Foundation. Owing to unfavorable weather conditions last winter, which caused a large abandonment of winter wheat ncreage due to the winter killing of nearly ten millh n acres, or 22V4 per cent of the area sown in wheat, the total crop production In, 1025 reached only t;til).305,000 bushels ns compared to Sfi-'.OT.rttO bushels the enr before. With the exception of 1017. this Is the heaviest abandonment of wheat area on record. The final harvest averaged only 12.S bushels per acre, which Is the lowest average since 1004. Spring whect, which looked very promising at first, also lost heavily through Injury from rust The yield per acre was cut down to bushels, which U 3.3 bushels below the 1024 average. The carry-over of wheat from 1024 was moderate, From .CW.OOO.Ooa to CmO.OOO.OOU bushels are required for domestic consumption. Exports- UP to the end of neeetnber were nearly 00,000,000 bushels, and the remaining exportable surplus is small. Both winter and spring combined production totaled 103,. JC2.000 hushels less than In 1924, making it the smallest wheat crop since 1017 in terms of production, and in proportion to population, tho smallest wheat crop since 1800.
