FLAG DAY IN
GRADED SCHOOLS

At the other high schools similar ex-
ercises We're held. and this afternoon
every graded school in the District OF
Columbia repeated its tribute to the fiag
and sang its glory over and over again.
One Of the most unique programs issued
for flag day was that Of the Wilson
School. seventh division. which was ar
tisticaIIy arranged and printed by one
Of the pupils. In each corner Of the
program a graceful American flag was
drawn in purple ink. and the program
itself outlined in pTettIIy formed letters.
W. T. Foster was the speaker at the
Chevy Chase School when he delivered
an interesting and inspiring address on
The Flag" In the course Of his pa
triOtic eulogy Mr.. Foster said:
You must not look upon that emblem
as "a mere rag. Were il not for its pro-
lection your property, your person, your
lives would not be safe from such
brigandage as we see slaughtering men,
women and children in Armenia and in
many other countries; our coasts would
swarm with pirates who would carry
you into bondage as has been the case
wherever a strong government has not
prevailed
Some day you viii fill our places. and
then you viii realize that our flag rep
rrsents more OF the blessings that come
to our race than does any other in all
the world
Emblem Of Law.
do you ask how that flag can do so
much? Because il is the emblem Of law
and order Because that flag represents
the hberty-lOving race that has followed
in the footsteps Of the Pilgrim Fathers.

NEW YORK. June 14.-So great is the
number Of immigrants expected to ar
rive at New York this week that the
authorities on Ellis Island believe it will
be necessary to erect tents on the island
in order to accommodate those detained

The great influx Of foreigners is due
to the new so rate from London to this

Officials Of these lines insist that the

Greater Cost of Cattle
IS Given as the
Cause.
HARD UPON THE POOR
Local Dealers Hope the Sharp
Rise Will Be Only
Temporary.

Washington is experiencing another ad-
vance IN the price of meat. much the
same as that which occurred about this
time last year, and which threw house
keepers into panic. The situation this
season. however. is even more grave
than last year. for in some instances the
cost amounts to cents on the pound,
with probably no hope Of relief
This information came direct today
from number of prominent Washing
ton retailers, despite the statement of
wholesale butchers that there had bccI.
no advance in the price Of meat within
the past week
The condition under which retailers
are obliged to do business is decidedly
unsatisfactory, botn to themselves and
their customers. Without warning, and,
i'm many cases. without reason, prices
are sent soaring In the air by the whole
sale dealers. and local butchers are
forced to put their own prices up In or
Ter TO meet those Of the wholesale mer-

Worse Than Last Year.
While the advance last year seemed
unnecessarily great and Of prolonged
duration. that which has now come TO
pass is, in some cases, almost twice As
great. Whether it will last as long re
mains to be seen. Sirloin and porter
house steak. which have been selling
at Is and 20 cents pound, are now
bringing 20 and . cents. A few days
ago round steak sold at two pounds for
a quarter, and because of the advance
imposed upon them local dealers are
demanding Is and IS cents straight for
pound.
One OF the firm Of Hoover Bros. in
the Center Market. said today he had
never paid so high for lamb as he is
forced 10 do at this time. Ten and y
cents has been the regular price for
lamb which is being generally retained
now for Is cents.
Cattle Cost More.
When asked the direct cause Of the
present advance in price. the Wash
ington butchers frankly admitted that
they did not know. The only reason
given them by wholesale dealers was
that meat was high because cattle cost
more. 1t Is not believed that cattle are
scarce or that there is any urgent need
for the increase. but 20 the public the
wholesale men say there is none. while
10 their customers here they are more
frank and state that the increased cost
Of cattle by the head is responsible
Some OF the local dealers believe this
stat, OF affairs will be ut an end by
Monday, while others declare there is
no telling when "A fan I'm prices may be
anticipated. Strange TO say. the sale of
higher price meats has not been ma
.,rIally affected. for those who can af-

paying what the dealers demand, but il
Is i'm the sale of cheaper meats that a
loss is sustained. BY putting up the
better class of meats am advance Of
lrcm ! 10 cents on soup meats and
other cheaper varieties has been ueces-
suTy. This means much to the poorer
,iaSs of people. who must either pay
that extra bit or go without meat en-
trely.
The general wholesale price for beef
and lamb is now s. hundred pounds.
although a few Of the dealers are pay
ing slightly more. This would narrow
down 20 cents advance for them, and
the public must pay the other , or >. as
the case may be, in order 10 bring profit
into the cash drawers of the Washing
ton dealers.
With the advance Of prices at this
time the rumor comes again OF the e.
forts Of the trust to establish retail
stands in the markets here in order TO
outdistance the regular Washington Ie-
tail dealers. Nothing definite could be
learned Of this today, but the idea has
evidently not died down so far as many

Electric Railroad
NOTES

Harry Edmonds of Fort Collins,
formerly of Greeley, who IS now
prominently connected with the
promotion OF an electric railway in
Fort Collins and Larimer county,
was in Greeley Tuesday. The city
council OF Fort Collins, he said. last
Monday granted franchise to the
company for the use Of the streets.
The council also told MIR. Edmonds
to turn down the proposition OF
Loveland for the raising Of $3.50, ,O0o
for the company to locate the power
plant at that place. The actions Of
both Fort Collins and Loveland in
regard to proposition that has In
nearly every way been modelled after
the plan upon which the Greeley &
Northern Railway & Utility company
of Greeley is organized is 10 striking
contrast to the action of the Greeley
board OF trade that refused to call a
meeting Of business men here last
week to give the promoters chance
to lay a proposition before them.
