PRICE OF MEAT MAY
SOAR EVEN HIGHER
Eastern Housekeepers Complaining Of
Excessive Cost of All Beef
Products-DeaIers Try
to Explain
BY Associated Press.

BY Associated Press
NEW YORK, Sept. N.--Housekeepers
throughout this city are complaining over
an increase in the price of beef and beef
products. There has been an increase in
the cost to the retailer Of 1 cent pound
1t Is understood among the retail dealers
that the price will go up within the next
month half cent If not a cent more. The
wholesalers give many reasons for the in.
crease in prices. One of the principal
ones is that the farmers have had ito
fatten their cattle on grain instead Of
grass as usual at this time of the year
owing to the long drought last summer.
On the other hand, 1t is contended in
some quarters that the price of beef has
been raised by the big western packers
because of the renewed agitation of the
question of government prosecution of
big corporations. The prices for lamb,
veal and mutton are practically sta
tionary.

We are not advertising hilarious
Entertainment for holiday excursion
lists. The fact ale as follows: The
ambitious and successful union high
school, patronized by the young men
and women from jackson and Suffer
lCreeE, as we'll AS from lone and the
country round about, has for four
years maintained the champion
basketball teams of central Cali

other among the boys. No city high
schooi has We. beaten the brain and
Drawn OF our country boys and girls.
On Thauksgiving day the high school
of blooming Lodi and the would be

with our union high school, and the
teachers and students invite the
parents and friends from all over the
county to be present at the game,
cheer ON Onr boys and girls, and give
spoctsman's welcome to the visitors.
As the game will be played in the
afternoon the teachers request this
state institution to suspend its rule
that visitors shall not be permitted
on holiday, and allow citizens visit
ing lone to inspect our work in the
forenoon We gladly consent. Be-
cause many will visit us, and because
our students will not be at work at
their trades, but will be trying to
enjoy holiday of which it would be
unkind to rob them by the interior
ence of a swarm of visitors, the
following order must be observed:
1-Visitors will be received only
during the hour, DOB 10 80, a. m.
2-Vfsitors will enter by the front
drive, and pass at once to view of
the handsome administration build
ing. They will then be invited to in
spect the refrigerating plant, just
completed, and the big assembly hall
and gymnasium now under construc-
ton, every part of which, except the
retrigerating machinery, has been
manufactured and built by our own
teachers and their students.
3-FTom the lawn in front of the
administration building the visitors
will have view of the students at
play on their grounds, and they will
be entertained by music by the stud
ents and of twenty-six pieces.
4-Visitors will not be allowed out
side the bounds indicated and at 10 80
OF before, all are requested to with
draw.
5-Visitors will courteously observe

'BROOKDALE FARM
An Entertaining Drama Ably Pre-
scented by Jackson Anna teurs.


Last Saturday evening the Uniform
Rank of Knights of Pythias gave the
drama entitled "BrookdaIe t'arm''
before house that was completely
packed. From every point of the
affair was success. The participants
had studied and rehearsed their parts
so much that not once did any of
them lose their lines. The receipts
from the reserved and general seats
we're sos, and from the dance after
the show 500 while the expenses were
S68. This surplus is to be used to-
wards defraying the expense of the
trip to Long Beach in May. where the
Uniform Rank will gather and meet
in competitive drills. They hope to
go to Mokelumne Hill and produce
the same show there, though it has
not been definitely decided.
In the play S. +. Dial Porto took
off Squire Brooks, an easy going
country gentleman, the owner of a
large ranch and quarry. which his
father had worked, but never found
granite in. DIR. A. NJ. Gall, Roy
Harte, the hero of the play, who was
in love with Marion Brooks, and
wished to marry her but was opposed
by her mother, because his father
had disgraced the name of Harte.
Amiel Marcucci took the part of Gill
bert Dawson, nephew of Mrs Brooks,
whose marriage to Marion was favor
cd by her, but opposed kby Squire.
He was the william of the plot, trying
to secure possession of the quarry
through the ignorance of the Squire,
but was thwarted by Roy Harte. In
an alteration with the Squire, Gill
bert stabbed him and killed him
almost instantly. Circumstances
directed suspicion toward Row Harte,
who fled the country to escape almost
certain hanging. George Ross took
off Dick Williams, or Lucky Dick,
one time college chum of Gilbert,
but now tramp of the worst class.
Dawson hired him to get Roy Harte's
father into as much trouble as posi-
BILE, but after Roy returned from the
west and Gilbert had tried to kill
him (Dick), he told everything and
so landed Gilbert in Jail and removed
the only obstacle to Roy's marriage
to Marion Brooks, which part was
played by Miss Mayme Scapuzzi
Joe Phelps played the part of Samuel
Hunter, the Sheriff; Miss Emma
Boarman. Mrs Brooks; Miss Hazel
Green, Nan Cummings, Ia young girl
under Mrs Brooks wing, and of whom
Ephriam Green thought so much
and even asked Mrs Brooks sanction
of the match, which she finally gave.
Green was farmer boy in the en-
ploy of Squire, though he was not
nearly so green as his name or his
looks. DIR. Endicott's take-off of
this part could not have been better.
