SOUTH AMERICANS
TO FURNISH MEAT
Uruguay and Argentina Plan
ming to Send Beef and
Mutton Here

wAsHINToN, d. c., Sept. e.-That
the South American countries along the
River Plate. more especially Uruguay
and Argentina, are looking forward to
supplying the people Of the United
states living along the Atlantic coast
with meat particularly beef and NUT
ton, is the information that comes from
Consul Frederic w. Cooling, Of Monte
video. In view of the rising prices of
steaks Mr.. Goding's report is inter
estong.
Mr.. Cooling makes it clear American
business men are looking forward to
some such development as this when
the people in the esatern part of the
United States will have to buy meats
from South America. He says already
American business men have visited
Uruguay for the purpose of collecting
data relative to the shipment of beer
and mutton from Montevideo TO New
/ York. and these have expressed the opin-
ion that such a move is practicable ana
would prove profitable ,as the meat Is
Of fine flavor and the price TO the con-
Sumer would ne CONSIDERABLY ie9o 'i'.'N
the price paid for the home product. The
government of Uruguay has recently
passed an act which relieves the shippers
of frozen meat from the payment Of th'
export duty for a period of ten years
provided the meat is prepared in the
country.
According to Mr.. Goding, there Is bu
one establishment in Uruguay devoted
exclusively to the frozen-meat industry
though it appears there are numoe
4 that are i'm this business in part. IN
frozen-meat plant is thoroughly up Z
date and the methods employed through
ont are similar to those used IN IN
limited states. Only the best grades Q
cattle and sheep are utilized, ana IN
whole process is supervised by quail
fed veterinarians. Mr. Cooling say
when the rainfall is plentiful the ma
tive grasses produce finely favored an
e,-ilv assimilated meat.
As a proof Of the healthfulness OF IN
j. cattle a considerable quantity Of mea
r is exported to London after passin
d rigid inspection. one in Uruguay an

CUPID CAPTURES
BACHELOR GIRL"
Dover Couple After Wedding.
Drive Six Miles to Escape
Friends

DOVER, Del, Sept. 16--rhe marri-
age OF Joseph sites Mcdaniel and
Miss Mary Hubbard Pritchet was an
interesting event yesterday to the
young people Of Dover.
Mr.. Mcdaniel is a son Of Harry Nc
Daniel of Dover, and is one of the
Youngest successful real estate brokers
in the state. Miss Pritchett is the
daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. William L.
Pritchett, at whose residence the mar
rage took place at s O'clock, yester-
dav morning. the uncle of the bride,
the Rev. J. M. Mitchell, of Galena, per-
forming the ceremony.
The bride is a member. or was
member. Of the Dover Bachelor Girls
club. which had gone into a compact
never to marry, and which originated
the famous course dinner on the in
stallment plan, indulged in on the
eat-and-run fashion.
Because OF the sudden renunciation
Of her spinster vows, the bride and
bridegroom adopted a moved way OF
keeping matters quiet. They were
married in the presence of a few rela-
tives and one or two close friends
promptly at o'clock and stepped i'm
mediately out into a waiting carriage
at the door. In this they were driven
to Cheswold, six miles north of town,
where they boarded northbound
train for New York and thus out
witted their young friends at Dover.
Now their bahied friends here de-
clare that il is easy TO get away with
a thing like that, but much harder to
get back, and will, therefore watch the
| trains.

married some months ago and was
met at the station on his return by

would like very much to be one Of
your helpers during the good time. 1
send you my picture as you asked for
those which have won prizes during
vacation. l won my prize June 13.
Teddy sat disconsolately by the win
dow, his feet drumming against the
chair. 1t was raining and there wasn't
a thing to do.
Just then something unusual hap
pened. woman with a high pointed
red hat, mounted on a gander, sailed
into the room. Introducing herself
as Mother Goose, she told Teddy to
climb on behind and she would take
him to Mother Goose Land.
Flying so swiftly, they soon reached
a small cottage. Mother loose opened
the door and went in She soon re-
turned and took him to see 30 Peep
and Little Boy Blue Bo Peep was
crying and Boy Blue was trying to
comfort her. She had lost her sheep
and couldn't find them anywhere.
Going farther they met Simple ST.
mon and the pieman and Teddy re-
ceived a piece of pie,
That merry soul, Old King Cole, gave

was so very nice he became merrier
than ever.

Dish and Spoon Ran Away

Dear Aunt Laurie:
1t was the day of the school picnic,
and the children ran about playing
games.
But Teddy, who was small, did not
join them. He lay on the grass and
idly watched them.
Suddenly his eyes fell on his little
lunch box. He saw the lid lifting and
behed his small dish and spoon jump
out and run along the road together.
Teddy did not want to lose his dish
and spoon, so he determined to follow
them. He jumped to his feet and fol-
lowed them along the dusty country
road.
He came to a turn in the road, and
here, by the wayside, he saw a house,
shaped like a large shoe. In the yard
he saw many children playing about
Then a woman came to them with a
large bowl of broth, which they drank,
and then went into the house. Teddy
knocked but received no answer. SO he
walked on again. Then his eyes fell on
a little girl seated on the grass eating
curds and whey. He asked her politely
if she had seen his dish, but she an
swered mo, | have been here only"
then with a shrek she sprang to her
feet and ran away. Teddy looked but
could see nothing but a large spider.
Across the road he saw a haystack
and on one side saw a boy dressed in
blue, fast asleep. Teddy tried to aWak-
en- him but couldn't. Further along the

Wore Winged Boots
Dear Aunt Laurie :

Dear Aunt Laurie:
The topic you have given us brings
to mind one of my first baby books,
the Mother Goose Tales. 1 like it, for
l like to write fairy stories. Teddy
lay on the lounge one bright after
noon and fell asleep. When he awoke
the strangest lady was by his side. She
wore a long flowing robe, her hair was
down around her shoulders, and she
wore a gold crown on her head. She
was young and beautiful. "Come, Ted
dy, put these shoes on and come with
me-" she said.
He saw a pair of shoes with wings
on the heels. He put them on and they
sailed away to Fairyland.
"Where would you like to go?" asked
Lettie, the fairy queen.
ITO the land where the Mother
Goose tales happened" he said.
The first person he saw was Old
Mother Hubbard. She was in her lit
tie cottage opening the cupboard, and
her dog was looking eagerly at the
cupboard. He spoke to her, and she
said, "Oh, are you an earth be-
ing?" "Yes," he said, 81 am jour-
neying with Lettie through Fairyland."
They walked on, for they were now
in a country, until presently they heard
the tinkling of tiny bells. Here came
a lady upon a white horse. When she
came up he saw she had rings on her
fingers and bells on her toes. "Are you
the lady who rides to Banbury Cross"
