In sol- ! the fiscal year of 1916-17 the per cap- ita consumption jumped 10 pounds above the consumption for the pre- ceding 12 months. The average Amer- ican, the figures show, is eating 65.04 pounds of beef each year. Europe needs history, vet our 1916-17 exports drop- ped 33,000,000 pounds below exports in 1915-16. Unless our home con- sumption of beef is reduced, it must mean that in order to supply the absolute needs of Europe our own herds will have to be depleted at a da and they are already alarmingly small.

Tex., Jan. 10.—Three per were killed and 11 injured early in a rear-end collision between two sections of the “Katy Flyer” on the Missouri, Kansas and Texas raii- way at Granger, about 40 miles north- cast of here.
