LEin, UTAH PAGE SEVEN' -1 'I I There has been so much; said of late on the subject of direct buying of hogs in the country that I pre. gume it 18 timely to present soma ot the statements on the subject pro and con as to the merit of the practice or -otherwise. Advocates ot that system contend that the price of hogs at the central markets is not affected by direct . buying as for every withdrawal of paying power from the, market, Just bo many hogs' are kept off of the market, the relation of supply to demand de-mand not being affected. Those who believe that 100 per cent movement through the central markets is essent. lal to a well balanced ; distribution, point out that the way it actually works is that supplies handled in the country are an unknown quantity, whereas supplies at central points are visible and by virtue of this, supply and demand is allowed to more effectively effec-tively govern prices and a better balanced 'distribution is obtained. This has been demonstrated of late by heavy hog runs at the central markets in the face of buyers already al-ready having secured substantial supplies sup-plies direct and the withdrawl of biying power in the face of heavj receipts has naturally depressed prices until the receipts were absor.

This is based on the contention con-tention that pork prices broke and brought down live prices. To repute this the element adverse to direct buying points out that this is not necessarily correct as heavy receipts with a diminished purchasing power due to direct buying, might cause breaks in live hog prices which would reflect themselves in the prices of dressed pork. It is like the question of which came first, the hen or the egg, when the subject is discussed as to whether dressed meat prices break the live animal market or the live animal market breaks dressed meat prices. No doubt it happens both ways., . There is no doubt that the onera. 1 1 ; TA r. r (1.. I 4. 1 . t . . . ' "s miei-iur pacxers (tnose operating near the source of supply) I have created a competitive element in1 the purchasing of hogs which has had! some bearing on the packers located' near central markets going back into the country after their supplies. It is also true that the hog situation! differs from the cattle and sheep situation situ-ation in that the benefits gained from by-products are not as great as on cattle and hogs but still it would seem reasonable to assume that the advantage ad-vantage gained through volume oper. ations at a central point both in buying buy-ing and manufacture of finished products pro-ducts would to a large extent offset any advantage gained by the buyer in making direct purchases at widely scattered points. The argument has been advanced In the Middle West that the reaching out of the Pacific Coast buyers for their supplies due to curtailed hog production on the Coast has brought a new competitive element into the purchasing of hogs, forcing direct buying. It is true that California is furnishing only about 10 per cent of the hogs necessary to meet her pork and pork product requirements but in viewing the situation from a country wide standpoint, even if the Pacific Coast Federal inspected slaughter did increase from 2.6 per cent in 1922 to S.7 per cent in 1927 of the national federal inspected slaughter it can be seen that this represents only a small factor In the entire volume and would not be of enough consequence to have any material effect on the whole scheme of things. It should be of considerable benefit bene-fit to everyone concerned from pro ducer down through all of the market Ing and distributing channels to the consumer to have a continuation ot the publicity being given this subject both from the viewpoint of those who believe direct buying is economically sound and from those who feel that the central markets are' the economical econom-ical and practical channels through whioVi a well balanced distribution may be realized. . o- Onyx in Spring Extinct springs lined with many thicknesses of onyx, in the Carlsbad cavern in New Mexico, are said to resemble re-semble the hot springs of Yellowstone park.

His Bible In Pack Of Playing Cards Not Bible Alone, but Book of Common Prayer, and Even an Almanac as Well. A .Private soldier, by the name of Kichard Lee, was taken before the magistrate of Glasgow for playing cards during divine service. A sergeant took some soldiers to church, and when the parson had read the prayer, he took the text. Those who had a Bible took it out, but this soldier had neither Bible nor common prayer book, but puUed out a pack ot cards, and spread them; before be-fore him. He first looked at one card aud then at another. The sergeant ot the company saw him, and said: "Richard, put up the cards; this far no place for them." "Never mind that," said Richard. When the services were over, the Constable took Richard a prisoner, and brought him before "the Mayor. "Well," said the Mayor, "what have you brought the soldier here for?" "For playing cards in church." "Well, soldier, what have you got to say for yourself?" "Much, sir, I hope." "Very good; if not I will punish you severely." "T VistVO fhaon nKm.t aW nrAntrfl nn .

"Antipodes" Too Often Term Wrongly Used The term "antipodes" Is strictly applied ap-plied to any two peoples or places on opposite sides of the earth and so situated sit-uated that a straight line drawn from one to another passes through the center of the earth, Loosely, however, the term Is applied to any place on the opposite side of the earth from us. China Is popularly supposed to be the antipodes of the United States and there Is an old saying that If one were to dig a hole deep enough he would fall Into China. But this Is ft misconception, for China and the United States are both In the northern north-ern hemisphere. The true antipodes of the United States Is a ronton ln the Indian ocean west of Australia. No part of the North American continent con-tinent has its antipodes in any land surface. The antipodes of South America fall In the region of China, the Philippines and Borneo, while tha antipodes of Europe and Asia are la the South Pacific. The approximate antipodes of London Is Antipodes Island, near New Zealand. Pathfinder Magaslne.

"Get the Message Through" o THE first communication communi-cation system in the West was the pony express. From St. Joseph, Mo., to San Francisco these riders carried the mails over mountain moun-tain ranges and across wilderness and plain. The motto of their service was "Get the Message Through!" The telephone worker work-er of today is inspired by the same ideal. Men and women brave dangers and undergo privations to establish and maintain this modern mod-ern service of communication. com-munication. It is noteworthy that, at Denver, a splendid building which will be this company's general headquarters, is being erected on the site of one of the stations on the old pony express line.
