STOCKMEN OF SOUTHWEST UN
ABLE TO GET SUFFICIENT
ACCOMMODATIONS.
KANSAS ClTY.—Money is in such
scant supply in the livestock indus
try of the southwest that breeders
and feeders are unable to iobtainli
ample accommodations even at 10
per cent. Breeding and feeding oper-’
ations are being restricted as the,
result of the money scarcity. ’
Only a small fraction of the \'ol-i
ume of cattle and sheep paper nor-|
mally sold on this market to outside
banks is moving at present. The]
banks and loan companies which are |
disposing of paper to the East report |
that it is difficult to place the loans|
at 8 and 8% per cent. After adding
the customary 2 per cent to cover
expenses, including period -inspec
tions of the stock and profits, the
loans cost the borrowers 10 per cent.
Banks of the east are reducing!
their holdings of cattle paper. One
loan company which was selling pa-!
per to 100 different banks over the
country a year ago says only ten
banks are on its buying list today.
Naturally, with the east liquidating
a portion of all of its cattle loans
money flowing into stock yards
banks from the increasing movement
of grass cattle and sheep is not go-|
ing back into the industry in many
instances. County banks in winter
wheat sections are taking more cat
tle loans, but they are proving rath-'
er disappointing outlets on account
of the slow sale of wheat and the
consequent light increase in their
supply of loanable funds. They also
have the choice of abundant offer
ings of packers’ paper at 8 per cent.z
A new record in receipts of calves!
for a month on the Kansas City‘
market was established here in Aug
ust. The arrivals were 65,835 calves,
compared with 51,401 in August,
1919. The calf crop was heavy last
spring in the southwest, but there
is so much feed that no record in|
receipts would have been marked up |
except for the pressure of tight mon- |
ey. It is also significant that an un
usual number of well-bred cows only
four to five years old are coming|
from ranges in, order to enable the|
ranchmen to liquidate loans. Some]
fine Hereford cows have been sold to |
packers at $6O a head. Not so many|
months ago they were in active de-]
mand on the Texas ranges at $lOO |
for breeding purposes. l
Considering the influence of the|
tightness of money the livestocki
trade here made a good showing the
last month, but there is nervousness
over the immediate outlook. Cattle
receipts were 259,883 head, compar- |
ed with 271,825 a year ago. More |
would have come except for the fact!
that bankers permitted delays in
marketing because of the desire of
the holders to take advantage of the
excellent pasture conditions. ‘
Depression in corn and improve
ment in the outlook for feed produc
tion in general offset in a measure
the influenee of tight money. Farm
ers and feeders of independent
means were stimulated by the pros
pect of an enormous supply of feed.

EUGENIC LOVE TOO TAME.
Spectators Disappointed at Actions on English Beach of
'Couples “Perfectly” Mated. '
LONDON.—Eugenic courtships
are being conducted at the Herne
Bay beach, near London, where
crowds are swarmirg tc witness
the spectacle of couples, certified
as medically fit, enjoying the hap
py interlude between engagement
and marriage.
The couples are enrolled as stu

eugenics and civies, whose num

MOVIE STAR DIES
‘OLIVE THOMAS, WIFE OF JACK
{ PICKFORD, VICTIM OF POISON.
; SPENT NIGHT OF REVELRY.
f The Babylonian revels of Paris,
]world’s capital of gaiety and fashion,
have claimed, indirectly at least an
lother life. In the. death of Olive
Thomas, .American screen star and
‘wife of Jack Pickford, after a night
spent in the restaurants of Mont
martre, the French capital’s under
world, scored another victory. Miss
Thomas died from the effects of a
self-administered overdose of mer
curial poison. |
The Lure of Paris. ‘
The death of the bopular young
motion picture actress has roused a
storm of criticism and denunciation
in Paris of the continuance of the
clandestine resorts. The Rev. Dr.
Beekman, rector of the American
church in Paris which recently rais
ed $1,000,000 for a campaign against
the vice in Paris which ‘‘causes in
numerable girls to lose their souls,”
was particularly vehement in his de
nunciation of the Parisian night life.
The Duchess d’Uzes, famous suf
fragist and society leader of Paris,
declared the “death of Olive Thom
as clearly shows the terrible conse
quences of the notorious gay life of
Paris, which, since the armistice, has
grown more and more flagrantly im
moral.”
Investigation was also made by the
police of rumors of cocaine orgies
and champagne dinners which lasted
into the early hours of the morning.
attended by the habitues of the
French cinema world and some of
their American guests.
Hints of Suicide.
A big legal fight over the payment
of a $300,000 insurance policy on
the life of Miss Thomas is predicted,
based, it is said, on the possibility
that Miss Thomas may have committ
ed suicide. Miss Thomas was report
ed to have taken the deadly drug in
mistake for a sleeping potion, fol
lowing her return to her hotel at 4
o’clock in the morning after an all
night revel in gay restaurants.
Olive Thomas, who was 24 years
old, was born in Charlerio, Pa., and,
when 15 years old, was working as a
saleslady in a Pittsburg department
store. When she was 16 she married
Klugh Thomas, whom she divorced
two years later. For some time she
was a Dopular show girl in New
York city, later entering the moving
picture ranks. She married Jack
Pickford, a brether of Mary Pick
ford, in 1917. With her husband and
a number of other motion picture
stars she was on a tour of Europe,
visiting points of imterest and mak
iMp “pictures at the same time.
IS RATTLESNAKE BITE 1
NOW REGARDED FATAL?|
Hunter In Whose Thigh Reptile Sunk
Its Fangs Saved by Treatment
Of Whisky and Tobacco.
ATLANTA, Ga.—Now bobs up
‘the question again: Is a rattlesnake
ibite fatal? Do you, reader, know of
Iyour own personal knowledge of any
| person who died of a rattlesnake
| bite? Not somebody you heard of,
| but somebody vou know of?
| From Florida swamps comes a
| well-authenticated account of a hun
[ter being bitten by a diamond-back
| rattler, near a large vein.
| The hunter, Will McClelland by
| name, was after bear in the Lake
| George neighborhood. All of a sud
| den MecClelland, while making his
| way through high, seas, heard a sing
jing mnear him and stopped in his
|tracks. Pushing the grass apart
| with the barrel of his gun as far as
| he could reach in all directions he
| presently revealed two enormous
| rattlers coiled and ready to strike.
glri;f a moment he had shot their heads
off.
, But almost in the same instant a
|third,snake struck and sunk its
{ fangs in McClelland’s thigh and hung
| suspended. McClelland jerked it
{loose, killed it and made for the
! camp, where he was nearly dead
{when he arrived. But after a thor
!ough treatment of whisky and tobac
lco he began to get better and in a
| few days was entirely well.
fCOTTON CONSUMPTION WAS

! Cotton consumed during August
iamounted to 483,193 running bales
|of lint and 86,800 bales of linters,
|the census bureau announces. Last
| vear consumpPtion in August was
| 407,319 bales of lint and 21,718

The study of eugenics by
healthily matched men and girls
gives the students opportunity to
discover whether they are mated
tempermentally as well as physi
cally.
Spectators are disappointed at
the course pursued by eugenic
love. They say it lacks the aban
don of the uncertificated spooning
of lovers, who splash in the sea,
and sprawl on the sands.
REGARDLESS OF WILSON BRIT
AIN AND FRANCE AGREE THAT
CITY BECOME PART OF ITALY.
AIX-LES-BAlNS.—President Wil
son’s vlan for the settlement of the
'Adriatic question has been scrapped.
Instead of the Wilsonian dream of a
free city of Fiume under the league
of nations, the strategic port will be
come a part of Italy in accordance
with the plans of Gabriele D’Annun-
ZlO,
This was apparent today in the
ligh of the official announcement
made at the conclusion of the con
ference between Premiers Millerand,
of France, and Giolitti, of Italy. The
Italian government has accepted the
free state of Fiume under D’Annun
zio as part of its official policy. Gio
litti, at Lucerne, obtained the ac
quesence of Premier Lloyd George
in his plans. At Aix-les-Bains he
offered to support certain parts of
the French policy in exchange for
Millerand’s consent to scrapping the
Adriatic policy of President Wilson
and the Frenchi premier’s promise
not to interfere with the occupation
of Fiume by D’Annunzio.
That the D’Annunzian constitu
tion makes Fiume into what for all
intents and purposes is an Italian
city is generally agreed.
