RAY or HOPE.

People who think they must have
meat don't feel very good on account
of the high price Of it and they are
wondering how meat is ever going to
be cheap enough to eat. Perhaps such
wonderers have their eyes fixed too ex-
clusively on the present situation in
this country. 1t seems to be almost
certain that as the population of the
country goes on increasing and as the
grazing lands are taken up by settlers
for agricultural purposes this shortness
in our supply of meat is likely to be-
come more rather than less marked.
Added to this it is now made plain
that another danger lies in the condi-
lions which have sprung up in the
packing industry. But there may be
some relief. Meat has been too costly
to eat in Belgium. There is talk there
of extensively importing it in cold stor-
age Indeed. a large importation from
La Plata has been already made, and
through shops opening in several cities
the meat was sold at from seven to
fourteen cents pound, prices nearly
four and a half cents below those Of
the native product. The Importation
consisted of both beef and mutton,
which, it is said. was of an excellent
quality; it went direct from Argentina
to Antwerp.
II this kind Of thing is going to con-
tinue we may not have to feed the
world alone. and we may have more
to eat ourselves at more reasonable
price. Perhaps, however, just as we
become encouraged by such thoughts
there win arise an international meat
trust which will be able to feed the
world in its own way and at its own
prices.

was known that there is a contest i'm

son known to be supporter Of the
nominee. The nomination could not
have been made without activity on
the part of Mr.. We'll, and that activity
was exerted in the interest Of MIR.
Dewell. since he himself refers in his
letter to such nominations as an
honor"
So up to date it appears that the
phrase "who is actively working in the
Interest Of one OF the appointing Board"
used by the Earnest and Honest Gen.
tlemen meant that Mr.. Well nominated
Mr.. DcWell for chairman of the Repub-
lican city convention. AS it is well to
have things definitely said. If they are
going to be said at all, we eongratu-
late those who are interested and can
remember on the fact that iefiniteness
seems to have at last been reached in
this matter.

asked that tl1e reference to him might

that there is to be an investigation of
the Board of Education after the inves-

1 would respectfully request that as
soon as the investigation of the Board
of Education is over, the weather being
most propitious for reform movements
and reformers, the Fire department be
investigated, and more particularly as
to whether it is proper for the firemen
to play pinochle between the periods
of strenuosity in going to fires.
