TALENT NOW AT SEA RE-
GARDlNG HARVARD LINEUP.

Cambridge. Mass, Nov 10.-Calcula-
lions as to the probable lineup of the
Harvard football team against Dart
mouth and Yale were seemingly upset
in several instances by the complexion
of the varsity team in practice today.
Quarterback O'E'laherty, who although
showing some unsteadiness, has still
improved considerably, was replaced
by Wigglesworth: Houston at left end,
who has not missed a game nor prac-
tice this season, gave way to G. Brown,
lately recovered from an injury, and
Corbett the left halfback. gave his
time to practicing punts while Minot
was idle. There is little doubt that
Minot will be in the Dartmouth game
but the other changes are serious ex-
perLments, it is understood. Today's
practice was light. The second team,
equipped with Dartmouth's supposed
manner and method of attack opposed
the Varsity but did not score.

Monday night, We're rematched for a

Thompson was anxious for a fight of
more than 10 rounds and proposed to
McFarland's manager that if Paclly

agree to the winner taking the entire

this, and it was decided that the

PRESIDENT zELAYA.

Zelaya, president of Nicaragua, has
held that position for sixteen years.
From all accounts he is another Cas-.
tro in craft and cruelty, and has kept
himself on top because he has welded
power like despot and imprison-
ment or death has been the lot of those
who have opposed him. He has been
anti United States as was Castro, in
spite of the fact that we have been
acting the part of big brother to the
Central American states ever since
the Monroe doctrine was enunciated.
Finally he seems to have overstepped
the mark, and the smile of even good
natured President Taft is reported to
have come off when news came of the
execution of two American citizens
who were among the Nicaraguan
revolutionaries.
From Washington come reports
that Zelaya is to be disciplined. Mr.
Taft and Mr.. Knox can't make it any
too strong to suit those who have fol.
lowed the trend of affairs down in The
Castro-Zelaya ridden countries
Petty despots and grafters have hand
icapped Central America for year:
and it's real development can only
come when their rule is past.

SPRAYING Fruit Trees.

Fairfield Ledger: The writer bought
a bushel Of apples tae other day. The
fruit was the product of young trees,
grown on good soil, of good size and
color 1t was low priced because the
grower said it wouldn't keep, and 1t
would have been dear at half the
money, for there wasn't sound APP
pie in the lot. Everyone of them
had worms Of some kind, some Of
them whole families, and after you'd
cut into two or three your appetite fer
apples was gone. What contrast
with a like quantity purchased Of
another home grower, not larger fruit,
no better coloring, but each and every
apple sound at the core and not a
worm or a worm hole IN the entire
bushel. The secret? Spraying. And

man, a horse and wagon They often
want the market man to send one OF
his clerks to their dwellings to take
their order. This delivery service is
overdOne. THE multiplication OF
small shops, the report says, lis
burden to consumers and no source
OF riches to the small silopkeepsrs.
When twenty or more small shops di-
vide the retail business within an
area that could be served by one
large shop, the expenses Of the many
shops for labor, horses, rent and other
things that are in excess of what
would be SUFFICIENT for the one shop,
must go into the retail prices Of the
meat sold.' Furthermore:
Customers are disposed to focus
their choice of cuts on certain ones,
and these naturally bear the higher
prices. If the porterhouse steak is
really beyond the cash or credit OF
the customer then sirloin must be
had, and rib roast instead of another
cut for roasting. Steaks and roasts
are the preferences Of beet custom
ers, and the steaks and roasts must
have names that are regarded as re-
spectacle. Consequently one-fifth Of
the carcass is bought at the highest
prices porterhouse steak at 25 to 30
cents a pound, sirloin at 20 to 25
cents a pound and rib roasts at 20
cents these being some of the prices
noted in returns received from the

the rapid advance in the price of corn,
which he says should be considered
because it makes it so much the more
costly for the farmer to fatten steer
than formerly. And in comparing prices
during the last ten years he comes to
the conclusion that the increase in
the cost OF beef has been much smaller
in proportion than the increase in the
cost of corn and other materials OF
which beef is made. The general fact
is, Secretary Wilson says, thai In the
upward movement of prices since
1896, the products Of the farm have
Jared better than those OF any other
class Of commodities; the only large
item that is an exception being UNI
fed beef cattle, the farm price of
which has now barely begun to rise
above the price level of 1s96-1900.
Summing up the results of the in
quiry as set forth In the report Mr..
Curtis enumerates the following as
the apparent causes for the increase
of the prices of meat: CD The aver
age profit of 3S per cent charged by
the retailer; (2) the scarcity of cat
tie, due to the breaking up of the
ranges; (3) the increased cost of fat
tening beef for market, die to the adj
vance in the price of corn. and (4)
the increased consumption and the
ability Of the working people to pur>
chase a better class of food and in
dulge their appetites for meats be-
cause of increased wages and contin-
ued prosperity.
The daily Gate City. [volume] (Keokuk, Iowa) 1855-1916, 1909-12-03
WHY MEAT is DEAR.

William e. Curtis writes from
Washington to the Chicago Record
Herald that Secretary Wilson has
been making unique investigation
into the reasons for the advance in
the prices of meats. which, he says, is
of vital interest Of 100000 families
in the United States; and he finds
that the retailers are chiefly RESPONSE
bile, although other causes have con-
tributed more or less. He is making
a further inquiry into the reasons for
the increase in the prices of butter,
eggs, groceries and all other sorts Of
food products, the results of which
will be ready for publication soon.
Secretary Wilson asserts that two
fifths Of the expenditures of the fami-
lies OF medium incomes are devoted to
food, and that one third of the national
dietary is composed of meat.
The investigation into the increase
of retail prices for meat has been
made through employees of the agricul-
turat department in fifty different
cities and towns, large. medium and
small. in different parts of the coun-
try, they were selected at random and
represent commercial and manufac-
turing centers and agricultural com
munities. A schedule was prepared
to record the actual experiences OF re-
tailers in buying and selling carcass
or a half carcass of beef; the weight
and wholesale cost in bulk and the
weight and retail price for every cut
for which uniform price is charged.
Thus it became possible not only to
compare high-priced and low-priced
cuts, but also to compute accuratelyl
the total retail price per pound and
the consumers share Of the price
charged by the wholesalers. Mr..
Curtis summarizes some Of the results
as follows:
For the fifty places throughout the
United States from which the reports
were received the mean gross profit
in selling beef, that is the retail price
charged consumers above the whole
sale price paid by the retail
ers, averages 3S per cent. In
| five cities is is 20 per cent OF
under; in ten cities between Fl and
| 80 per cent; in twelve cities between
81 and 40 per cent; III twelve cities
| between Al and 80 per cent, and In
eleven cities more than so per cent

southern central-states, 81 per cent; il

Deer EARNS Ia Iowa.

Oskaloosa Herald: A story going
the rounds Of tie press states that j.
w. Griggs, living twenty miles
southwest of Mason City, has the
only deer farm in Iowa. This
is an error. Singmaster & Sons,
of Keota, have herd OF over
twenty head, and they also have
number OF buffalo. 1t is interesting
to note, however, that first Mr.. Griggs
reared wolves, then wild geese, then
antelope, then elk and now deer, he
began fifteen years ago with a pair OF
Virginia deer, and has Experimental

The coIored Supplement and LawIess-


Knoxville Express: The Des
Moines Register and Leader severely
roasted Des Moines boys who soaped
a street car track and almost caused
an accident, and reader wrote in
and handed the paper this lemon:
ITO the Editor: Your recent criti-
cism of the boys out on Nineteenth
street for soaping the car track was
unjust and most unkinds since that
you have been training them these
years for all sorts of outlawing and
mischievous conduct by the use OF
the Buster Brown cartoon and other
similar means. The larger and greater
per cent of bad conduct committed by
the boys of today is taught them by
what they read and hear others talk
about"
And the worst thing about it is that
there's good deal in it. The colored
supplement has virtually domesticated
the dime novel; A lawless boy out
of 10000 used to start out west to
rob trains or fight Indians, but it was
too big an undertaking for the other
1899. But the colored supplement has
brought lesser villainy to lower terms
and shown how any trifling youth may
easily make himself neighborhood
nuisance If not a public menace.

Let it not be forgotten that while
the holiday season is a season of
Joy and good will to most people, it
is a season of WEAKNESS, despair and
dread to the overworked clerks, de-
livery boys, express messengers and
mail carriers. These regard the ap-
proadl of Christmas with something
akin to terror This is because so
many people delay making their pur-
chases until the last few days before
Christmas and put so much extra work
upon them at that time There are,
therefore, two cogent reasons for ear
ly shopping. Tie one is satisfactory
shopping and the other is considera-
ton for tne welfare of others.

the propriety of his endorsement by
members of the state bar association

would be greatly honored by the Sc
lection of Judge Deemer as Justice
