MEAT PRICES ARE A PUZZLE 0 ALL THE BEE AHA, SATURDAY, APRIL 24, 1915, Hogs Are Selling for Less to Packers and Yet Retailers and Consum- ers Must Pay More. MORE STOCK AT THE YARDS Just why meat prices should be the goaring is unexplainable when fact is taken into consideration that receipts of both cattle and hogs aro heavier than a year ago and prices paid for the animals are lower. How- ever, notwithstanding the large re- ceipts and the lower prices at which the animals are bought by the pack- ers over the block, all grades of meat are up, 3, 6 and 8 cents higher than on the corresponding dates of last year. The records of the South Omaha pack- ing hotises show that one year ago Thurs- day the receipts of cattls were less than yesterday. For the four days of this week 'ending last night, cattle receipts at the South Omaha yards were 20,761, or 8,000 More than for the corresponding days of oné year ago. Cattle .at Sonth Omaha Thursday sold as high a8 $2.00.to $8.50 for choice. The report of the market for that day shows that “ecommon té falr cornfeds,” the kind of animals generally slaugntered for local eonsumption, sold at only around §.00 per hundreweight, with the top of this class at $1.60, while 5.7, In the matter of hogs the assertion is made that the scarcity of the animals has something to do with the enormous ad- vance in the price of pork. In contradice tion of the claim, the records of the €outh Omaha stock yards show that “good to cholce” sold at ~Thursday the receipts were i0.000 head. For the four days of the wock they were 7,99, or 4,00 more than for the corre- “sponding days of one year ago and that the prices paid to the farmer shippers were about 1 cent per pound less than the same date of 1614, Thursday the top hog prices paild by the packers was $7.28% per 100 pounds, against $8.23% on the corrésponding A of last year and $8.68 on the same date of two years ago. Regardleps of the fact that Thursday top hogs sold for almost $1 less per 100 pounds and more than $1.25 less than on the same date of two years ago, Prices to the consumer are much higher than on either of these past dates and for loins and other cholce cuts of both beef and pork, higher than at any time in recent years in this market. Can't See the Reason. “I am at @ loss to understand why my meat market man tells me that the prices he has to pay the packers for meats have been advapced materially and the market quotations advise me that on the same day I was talking to him the prices paid by the packers at the yards wero lower than the day before, and also lower than the same day last year;” re- marked a householder, present meat situation. discussing the This woman was correct, because prices quoted Thupsddy of the sales 6t the day before show that cattle and Hogs.st the | stock yards brought $1 or more less than the same day last year and on the aver- age the pricés ranged 10 cents per 100 less than the day before. " A further canvass of the situation con- firms the first reports that the packing houses have this week advanced ~thelr prices to the retailers. The manager of a large downtown market states as one instance that he is now charging 12% cents a pound for pot roasts he charged 10 cents for last week, an advance of 2 per cent. On round steaks he has made an advance from 17% to 20 cents a pound, although somie of the smaller outside markets are quoting as high as 25 cents a pound for round steaks. “It J¢ to wonder,” is the comment of another householder ' who likes a round steak now and then. Judge Lewis Holds Federal Game Law is Unconstitutional Judge Robert E, Lewis in federal court, held the migratory birl law passed by congress March 4 of last year, to be un- constitutional and granted to Frank Tirro & motion in arrest of judgment. Tirro and others were arrested and in- dicted by the grand jury for violation of the act in shooting several American coot, commonly known as mudhens at Carter lake. They pleaded guilty and at the same time filed the motion in arrest of judg- ment, setting forth that the law is un- constitutional because ‘no where in the organic laws of the United States of America has congress been granted the power to legislate concerning the wild game referred to in the act.' Since publication of “the indictment on this charge, United States Attorney How- ell has been flooded with mail and tele- phone Inquiries from anxious hunters all over this part of the country. Two other federal judges have ruled the same as Judge Lewis and the ques- tion will soon be determined by the su- preme court. — e Could Not Walk with Rheumatism.

Dig Out Dandelions or Let Sheep Eat 'Em The dandelion pest is being constantly brought to the attention of Ernest E. Dale hool garden club expert. People ask him how to get rid of the yellow flowers; but his only prescription is “dig em out or let sheep graze on the lawn.” He saye that he knows of no prepara- tion that is entirely successful and satis- factory. If dug out, the dandelion plants should be removed from the yards, he eays. 1f sheep are allowed to graze on the lawn, they will gradually eradicate the dandelions. —_—e Making Good Wourk Fossible, As long as one 1s on his feet, he can work after a fashion, no matter how badly hé feels.
