Closely observing his remarks, the gentlemdn, his ancestry must trace way back to the Mayflower or the Filgrims (1620). There were also some people who came over here about that time, who were undesir- able and bound in chains. I wonder it his ancestry traces to any of these?

Higher Beef Prices Expected This Year The Assoclated Press. London, Feb, 27.—The over-pro- duction of cattle has come to an end, the world’s demand for beef has overtaken the supply, and therefore prices should be higher thjs year than in 1924, according to the an- nual “review of the frozen meat trade,” published by the Weddel Company and recognized in Great Britain as an authoritative reference work. Great Britain no Jonger stands alone as practically the only meat importing country in the world, it is sald, no fewer than eight other coun- tries now actively competing for the world's available export surplus. Last year the continent absorbed 450,000 tons of beef from overseas, a quantity equal to seventy five per cant of the meat imports into Great Britain the revelew declares. “These supplies were drawn from the Argentine, Uruguay, Brazil, Aus- tralla, New Zealand and South Afri- the annual states. heard; female, danger Local Broadcasting Nelson: “Do you have a radio?” Potter: “No; it's sitting up with the baby that gives me this sleepy look." .

Administration leaders beliove the bill will receive the president’s ap- proval, during the short debate which preceded the senate's adop- tion of the report yesterday by a vote of 69 to 12, Senator McKellar, democrat, Tennessee, one of the con- ferees, told the senate the president had insisted on some of the higher rates carried jn the house bill as compared with those in the senate measure, Fffective as of January 1 this | vear, postal employes would receive |an average salary inerease of about |$300 annually under the bill, which by -new postal rates to go into ef- fect April 15, next would raise about $60,000,000 of the $68,000,000 required for the pay advances. As a “rider” the bill carries a corrupt practices act strictly limit- ing campalgn expenditures of con- gressional candidates as recommend- ed by the senate campaign funds committee. . The postal rate increases carried in the bill are designed to meet the dent to veto the straight salary in- crease measure passed at the last session, The salary provisions are the same as carried in that bill. While no period of duration is specified for the rate increases, the bill provides for hearings during the summer by a joint congressional committee, which is to submit rec- ommendations with a view to re- vision of the rates at the next ses- sion. .
