For the Mat time In many years, in - ,formation collected by the department shows that all classes of live stock in the United States are increasing in numbers. ( Thus the real facts contradict, absolute• tieneatioaal reports that priees for meat and shoes would rise to improve - dented figures in the immediate future. It has even been said that a Government statistician predicted 11104i 1 at 50 cents a pound 111141 shoes :it $10 a pair within the next two years. Such a prediction, the real Government staticiags, say, is quite unwarranted. On January I, for example, the number of beef cattle showed an incrotsti of 3.4 Spend Your SPARE TIME in a pleasant way playing pool or bit - lards on good tables at the Pastime Pool Room G. W.
