Pork sausage. ............... l9c Ic.
These advances in prices were made
generally in all the larger cities of the
country Naturally there was an outcry
To this the packers replied that the in
creased price Of cut meats was made
necessary by the high price of live stock.
the scarcity Of good beef cattle in the
West, and the financial stringency which
swept over the country last November.
1t was pointed out by the packers that
when the financial stringency started by
Wall street spread out over the country
it caught the farmers unawares. Corn
was high-50 cents a bushel-and the
farmers. unable 10 borrow money 10 buy
corn with which TO fatten their cattle
and hogs, were compelled to rush them
10 market just as they were.
Market Is GIutted.
The result was that the market was
glutted in January. Cattle and hogs were
crowded into market that month that un-
der ordinary financial conditions would
be held back until April OF May
Then the packers said, the farmers hav-
ing flooded the market, found themselves
without cattle or hogs when the prices Of
live stock advanced in February and
March. Cattle and hogs We're not to be
had. The price of live stock was soar
ing, but the farmer received no benefit
for he had no live stock to sell. That
was the pleasant way the packers put it,
But the farmers seemed to have reserve
supplies Of cattle and hogs that were un-
dreamed Of by the packers. The statistics
of the Chicago stock yards completed this
week showed a marked condition entirely
at variance with claims of the packers
The official receipts of live stock at the
Chicago yards, as compared with the re-
ceipts for March a year age. were;

For the three months of January. Feb

These figures do not bear out the state
ments made by the packers in explaining
the necessity for the increased price Of
dressed meats.
Not in Chicago alone are the receipts Of
cattle and hogs piling up at an unusual
rate. Reports from Kansas City. Omaha.
and other packing centers in the West
show practically the same conditions
Taken altogether, it begins 10 look as
though the packers had made a miseal-
Culation in their estimates of live stock
still in the hands of the farmers. It is
generally admitted now that the advance
in the price of meats TO the consumer was
made upon q speculatiNe basis

GET OUT GOOD PAPER
Boy City Daily News is a
Publication Rejecting
Credit on Editors.

Several copies of the Boy City News
have been received at the office of THE
TIMES from that remarkable city Of
youths at Winona Lake. The paper is a
live publication written and edited by
boys and is a credit to American young
manhood.
The paper is remarkable in that 1t
has to do with the lives of boys and
reflects perfectly their ideas. pleasures
and ambitions. In the issues which
have just been received the paper is
full of campaign material 1t has
write ups" of the various candidates
and is brimful of enthusiasm.
The fine hand of Judge Brown. who
is back of the Bay City movement can
be seen all the way through. The in
terest in the campaign which is just
past is reflected in the pages of the
daily and and it is interesting to read
the platforms of the various parties
In the near future there will be given
a great circus at the Boy City at which
the while city is expected to be in at
tendance. The boys are now captur-
ing snakes, birds. ground moles and
other animals to make up the menag-
erie and the boys themselves will do
the circus stunts.

SON HURT
Joseph Hutton Breaks Arm
While Cranking Tour
ing Car.

Joseph Wallace Hutton, son of Archi-
tect j. T. Hutton. met with a peculiar r
but painful accident this afternoon
when he was cranking his fathers au-
tomobile and 1t flew back and struck
his right arm, breaking that member
a the wrist.
The boy was taken to DR.. Howat's
office in the Taper block. where the
fractured arm was set and the spIints
were placed on it to hold the broken
bones in place.
The fracture occurred severad inches
from the wrist and VIII consequently
not be as serioussas If the wrist had
been broken. The young man was in
great pain while the bones were being
set. but he went through the operation
bravely.
The accident occurred in front of the
Hammond building and fortunately Mr..
Hutton happened along just as the arm
was broken and took care of his son.
Mrs. Hutton was notified and arrived at
DR.. Howats office just after the bone
had been set.

Because John Barnes of RobertsdaIe
fs an expert swimmer he nearly lost
his life yesterday mt the Lake Front
park near the pumping station.
GOias to some of the high piiing in
front of the pumping station he pre-
pared to dive off and did so. Quite a
number of spectators watched him and
became alarmed when he did mot ap-
pear ON the surface of the water. Men
nnd women ran to the spot in the ex-
citement, all frightened and some cry
ing for help.
Jack Evans. an East Chicago mill
man. who happened to be at the park
pithout losing a moment waded into
the water and as it became deeper
swan to where Barnes had disappeared.
He had no trouble in finding him as
he lay on the bottom of the lake He
carried him to the surface of the water
and keeping Barnes face above water
Evans made his way back to the shore.
There is was found that Barnes had
struck himself unconscious when he
dove into the water, as 1t was only
four feet deep.
With the help of Joseph Kasper
Jack Evans and Jacob Hartman, the
young man was soon brought to. 1t
was found that he was not seriously
injured and was able to go home
alone.
On the preceding day. the eight
year-old son of Mat Schaefer of Whit
ing, fell in the lake and only for the
timely help of Joseph Hojnacki OF
Hammond, was saved. Hojnacki and
"a party of six other men were fishing
on the pier toward the west when the
boy tried to Join them. He lost his
footing on the pier and tumbled into
the water. His smaller brother was
with him and screamed for hepI thus
attracting the attention of the fisher
men. Hojnacki threw on of the ropes
that Joe Kasper keeps on the pier
for life saving purposes, to the boy
when he came for the first time and
pulled him to the shore.

rid of some of the unsightly poles, be-
ing satisfied to take only half loaf

Vital Question For State Street
The property owners are especially
desirous that some of the councilmen
who voted against the joint pole propo-
sition reconsider the matter and thus
get into the State street band wagon
The question tonight will be:
Do we want double street car cross
ings on State street over the railroad
tracks and across and over between
the two street car tracks brought so
near the curb as TO make teaming more
dangerous, or do we want only one
track and instead of the second one,
get the business district rid of forty

iron poles placed by the street car COM
pany where Joint poles are not feas-
oble?
