TRKE'AS Spe FOR SOARING PRICES, NOW HIGHER THAN IN CNL WAR. > Retaile: Pourts io Packe: , Pack er to “High Corn” —Con suiner Simply Pays MUST PAY 100, MOR? Relict in Meat Situation May!

He shows you the live stock G@uotations and wh in the igh price of corn “But what are the actual producers fr raisers of the cattle getting for their stock” ask those who maintain What the packers aro reaping the riches. “The farmer in the dairy country,” paid one of the sufferers to-day, quart for his milk, @ad milk selis in New York City for 32 cents @ quart. Who gets the dit- ference?” The only answer one hears is: “The wattle raisers of the West, like the milk producers, are not complaining about the prices thoy receive for their Products, and they know what the per @ost is to the consumers of their woods.” MOP! HOOVER WILL CURB THE MEAT TRUST. “1 wish Mr. Hoover would take Pharge of the meat situation and rey alate the prices,” exclaimed one ‘wholesale dealer, who claimed he was fat the mercy of the Meat Trust, but efBcials of the concerns designated as the “Big Five" in the meat business assert that the present exorbitant Prices are entirely due to a combina- tion of causes over which they have Ro control. “The only cattle coming in market (@t this time,” one of these authori- ties explained, “are from the farms, fané they come in smal! lots, About @ montb later the range cattle will) begin to enter the markets by train! toads and that will bring some relief. , Whese cattle are now out on the wanges fattening on grass, Of course they will not make very high grade eof, but the supply of the coarser grades will probably be more plenti- ful later. Cattle fattened on corn aust be very bigh with corn at $2 a bushel, The farmers can make more by selling their corn than by fatten- ing cattle on it, and for this reason the higher grade of corn-fed cattle 4s likely to remain high in prices, but Ube lower quality of beef oyght to be more reasonable in a fow weeks.” Asked if the demand for the army ‘was an important factor, the same euthority said: “Purchases for the army had not yet shown much of In-| crease over the normal. At the varl- ous encampments purchases are be- ing made locally,” he stated, “but there have been no large orders from the Government thus far” One wholesale dealer pointed out that the requisitioning by England of the Argentine supply caused consid- | erable curtallment tn stocks here, as Previous to the war large shipments of Argentine cattle game in, “Then, egain,” he explained, “people are! making more money than they did 4 few years ago and they live better ‘Those who were satistied formerly with chuck steaks are now buying the | higher grades.

If it were not for the Kosher trade in chucks, ribs, joins and hinds would be 50 cents a pound right now. There i# a large Hebrew population in New York and they are paying good prices for the better grade of chucks.

The alms of the “Vigilantes,” as outlined by Mr. Moffett, are much more comprehensive than was first planned. In defining the scope of the movement he urged that 1,000, 000 loyal Americans enroll at once to “do a little vocal fag waving” by keeping a “weather eye” out for treason or disloyalty. As @ second class, Mr. Moffett called for 500 New York men and women to act as “Vigilantes” to patrol the streets in groups and arrest and prosecute treasonable speakers. For the third| class he asked for men and women who are able and willing to fight disloyal speeches by loyal speeches; in other words, to conduct counter} attacks on the treasonable soap box orators, It was decided to petition Mayor| Mitchel to permit no one tor speak | publicly without a license, and to grant a Heense to no one who could] not prove American citizenship and loyalty to the United States | “As this thing grows,” declared Mr, side Moffett, “we can take up the que; tion of the man newspape Mr. Moffett read a letter from the office of Mayor Mitchel operation, An official of the Pollve| Department addressed the gathering and advised the members as to their | procedure assuring co- <> Senate Adjourns Out of Respect for WaAsHT?

ARRESTED AS BOGUS MAJOR, HE BLAMES IT ON DRUGS Prisoner Says He Donned Uniform So He Might Board Ship and Go to France. The career of Homer H, Lee, whe cording to the Federal authoritle times calls himself F, C, Albrecht, as a major in the United States Army was abruptly ended to-day when Lee was arrested at the Hotel Monterey. Lee is charged with !mpersonating an larmy officer with intent to defraud, and also with passing several spurious checks, one for $100 on Lieut. Col of Gen. O'Ryan's staff. When arraigned before United Stat Commissioner Hitchcock Lee still wore his major’s uniform. He said he came © days ago from New Orleans, Intending to go to Washington to meet wife.
