Of meat, the public is suffering from excess

tons. The packers contend that they have
reduced prices TO degree commensurate with
the reductions in prices of cattle, hogs and
sheep at the stock yards. One class Of re-
ia leIs contend that the wholesale prices TO
them have not been reduced. Another class
declares both wholesale and retail prices
have been reduced materially, but the figures
gathered from the markets do not bear out
this statement. Meat on the hoof shows re-
ductions ranging from 20 to 40 per cent. Re-
taileTs meat shows increases ia some instances
except in porterhouse steaks. but there are no

Interruptions from his congregation while

a feeding OF the body, but feeding Of
the soul with the bread Of life," be said.

COL. MOSBY'S BOOK ON sTUARTS

Colonel Mosby's book which they will
publish in January.
81 have read with much interest the
manuscript of Colonel Mosby's book,
"5tusrps Cavslry in the Gettysburg
Campaign" Let me frankly say at
the Start that this is not book Of the
so-cslIe1 popular type There is no
doubt Of its value as contribution to
the literature of the civil war, and as
sIchsit will make strong appeal to all
survivors, on both sides, Of the great
struggle. 1, will be of interest, too, to
critical students CT the period. 1t is
an able presentation of the case, such
as council would make for his client
For my own part, | could wish that
there were more incidents, somesketches
Of character, and sidelightS on the per-
sonslities of the distinguished and gal
liant men with whom the book deals.
But that has evidently not been the
authors intention. Colonel Mosby
must have material in his own exper-
fence for a dozen thrilling romances,
abounding 10 Incident, where mirth add
palhos, gallant deeds and hairbreadth
escapes were daily occurrences. hope
that some day We may have from his
pen such book, accurate Of course in
its statements, but free from the great
array OF documentary evidence Of which
the present hook is full. Such book
from such 40 author would be of great
popular value and have g sale much
larger than 'StusrPs Cavalry ETC."
