The movies may give exag- ideas about some things—the wild, tempestuous of the cowboy, for instance, or the wiles of the virulent ire—but, all these things aside, the movies have done doing immensely more good than they are doing town (N There's the tinkle of a kettle and the Single of a spoon, / Like the laughing of the fiddles Just before they start a tune; There's a There's flavor and @ savor sweeter than a rose in June. 4 hurry-call for father and a summons of the son, of the skillet sings the song of “Dinner Done.” firemen at . nh une the che at overcharging for theatre | it was revealed that the valves on | give passes both tanks were without packing rendering the apparatus unclonn 1 expect to die an anarchist,” de The safoty lanterns on the new dman.

Where Pike Street Crosses Third . | MEANY HALL The Price of Pork Chops and Bacon Here are reasons why the fine, fresh pork tenderloins and pork chops, or savory ham, or crinkly bacon, which you enjoy for breakfast, cost much more per pound than the market quotation on live hogs which you read in the newspaper: An average hog weighs 220 pounds. Of this, only 70 per cent (154 pounds) is meat and Jard. So, when we pay 15¢ a pound for live hogs, we are really paying more than 21¢ a pound for the meat which we will get from these animals, even after taking into account the value of the by-products. But people show a preference for only one-third of the whole—the pork chops, fancy bacon, and choice cuts from juicy hams. f This means that when we are selling Premium bacon at 432% per pound wholesale and Premium hams at 30¢, there are other parts for which we get as low as 6¢ or 8 per pound. The net result is an average profit to us of less than 1¢ a pound. The choice cuts are higher because of a demand for them. Another thing: Only 35 pounds of the entire hog —or about 1% th—is usually marketed at once. The rest must be pickled, cured, or smoked. This takes months, and adds to the costs which must be met.
