Editor The Press-I have been
reading with much interest, in your
valuable paper and other publica-
tons, the review of the agitation
now going on throughout the coun-
try on the high cost of living, and
while l am slow to complain, being
a believer to some extent in high
prices on everything, even wages,
the position assumed by Mr.. Over
holt of the Stanton meat company
in his interview published in The
Press, caused me to lose patience
with his class and decide to throw
in my small mite of objection. I
consider that l am in position to
judge of the cost of living, being
family man--five children and wife
and have been buying family sup
plies, and paying for them, too, for
the past % years. In spite of Mr..
Overholt's statement to the con-
trary, l know that l am paying on
the average about eight cents
pound more for the meat we con-
sumo than I ought to pay-prices

ers considered. He contends that
prices paid the raiser are excessive
and granting that this is true for
the sake of argument-how much
higher are they today than they
have been at any time during the
past six years? q won't go back
further than that for the reason
that it might be very embarrassing
to him. Six years ago, if my men,
DRY serves me right, beef cattle on
the hoof were bringing all over the
country from Az for ordinary stuff

choice. How much higher is it to-
day? Look at the market quota

that the small sum of one little, de-
spised penny piece-the smallest
coin lent us by Uncle Sam as me-
dunn of exchange-will cover this
tremendous advance Now, if we,
the consumers, must pay this ad-
vance-and no one denies that We
should-why should we be COM
PEELED to pay this penny, and then
hand Mr.. Overholt the sum of seven
cents for the privilege of doing so?

Clipped Corn Took Both Legs;
Arms Going When Death Came

CLEVELAND. o., Feb. 1.-THE
death OF H. s. Odbert, prominent
business man and veteran of the

In the four years that elapsed be-
tween Odbert's visit to the chiropo-
dist and his death, both legs had
been amputated nearly to the
thighs to stay the blood poisoning,
poison assesses had been cut from
his back and his last fear was that
his arms, one after the other, would
have to be amputated and he would
be left a living, helpless hulk of

to save him from that fate. His sys.

MEYERS OBJECTIONS
KNOCKS OUT PEARY

WASHINGTON, Feb. 12.-The
plan to make Commander Robert
E. Peary rear admiral may fall,
as the result of objections on the
part of Secretary of the Navy Mey-
err. The subcommittee Of the COM
mittee on naval affairs of the
house today reported the measure
adversely. -------.
Secretary Meyer sent a letter to
the committee stating that the pro-
motion of Peary to the rank of rear
admiral would be an injustice to
the line officers of the navy.
Meyer suggested that instead of
first promoting Peary to a rear adj
miralship and then retiring him.
that he be retired as a civil engi-
neer with the rank and pay of
rear admiral. This plan would re-
ward and honor Peary and avoid
friction, said Meyer.
