R. J, Deachman gave an address

Avas “How Far Have We Gone.” He
gave a very able and instructive talk
on present day conditions as com
pared with a few years ago. His
statement that we arc on the recovery
trail shows that he is not pessimistic
for the future. According to infor
mation that he received, cattle mar
ketings both here and in the United
States have been heavy this year arid
will continue heavy until next spring
and that cattle prices will probably
continue upwards for the next five or
* * ' Jsix, years.
Speaking of the monetary or econ
omic system, he said that he did not
think changes would bring immediate
relief. Socialists, communists and
fascists often tell us that they can
provide a better and a happier world
but Mr. Deachman asked what ’evi
dence have they to offer in proof of
their claims.
