COST OF MEATS
 TO STAY DOWN
fSpecia1 from United Press.

Washington, Nov. 16.-"The de- crease in the cost of meats is here to stay" said Secretary of Agricul- ture Wilson, today. "A permanent decrease in the cost of living, as far as meats are concerned, will be brought about by the heavy growth of corn. The farmers, heretofore could not feed cattle freely. Natural ly the prices of meats became high. ''Now, however, corn is plentiful wheat conditions are very promising, and fodder is abundant. Cattle food is both cheap and plentiful. The markets are flooded with cattle and will continue to be as long as condi- tions remain the same. Farmers have been induced to send large quantities of cattle to the markets. |. These cattle are fed properly and the result is plainly seen in the decrease in meat prices

THE WORLDS
 GREAT WONDER
Completely Within Boundaries of Arizona---State Pride Should
 Keep it There.

One of the greatest assets of the coming state of Arizona is that world scenic wonder, the Grand Canyon of Arizona, and this esti- mate of its value has no reference to the mineral treasures it may csntain, some of which are known to exist. Its value is not only the great amount of advertising of this territory which is done by the writings and talk of the thousands of visitors to it from all parts of the world, but the money which these sight-seers leave behind them and the investors and home builders which come here because of seeing the advantages of the territory on industrial lines while they come 10 view the canyon, says the Courier.
 Arizona owns both sides of this world wonder and it is her finest possession, for with each succeed ing year, as tourists advertise the great gorge the number of visitors will increase. For years Utah has cast covetous eyes upon our can yon and has, through her repres- entatives in congress, sought to annex that portion of Arizona north of the canyon, which has come to be known as the Utah strip, but if the people of Arizona are wise they will watch and guard the north bank of the canyon of the Colorado river with a jealous care similar to that with which the Germans nationalize with song their watch on the Rhine. These thoughts are suggested by par ticularly good descriptive article in the Houston Daily Chronicle, one of the principal papers in the state of Texas, on the Grand Canyon, written by Emily Brown Helminger. Here follow some ex-  tracts from the article:
 Why do so many people take their hard earned cash and go to New York and spend it all on busy Broadway and at noisy Coney ls- land and go home with a dizzy head and faint recollection of what happened when the peaceful quiet of the Grand Canyon of Arizona is within reachi
 And why do so many money owning Americans brave a case of seasickness to go to Europe, Asia and Africa in search of rare scenery when their own country offers the choicest gem of nature'
 So many scientists have drawn conclusions as to how the canyon was made, but no conjecture has been regarded as being truly au- thentic.
 Some attribute it to an earth quake, others say that it was caused by volcanic eruption and others say it is due to the action of water and wind. But when I first beheld its awful grandeur l felt that nothing in the history of the world could have caused such a phenomenon except the cruel fixion of Christ when, as St. Mat thew says, Behold, the veil of

THREE STORY
HOUSE SELLS
FOR $4,000

The record OF real estate transfers
at the office of Collector of Revenue
Richard F. White for the week end
ing today, reveal the sale of three
story house at 1877 New Brunswick
avenue, owned by Jens p. Wester-
gard, to MAIDS Madsen, for a consid-
Grafton of $4,000. The sale was ef-
fected Thursday At the present
time the building is occupied by a
blacksmith shop and several fami-
lies.
Less transfers have been record
ed during the past week at Mr..
Whites office than during a similar
space of time since May /. The
small number indicate that the week
was rather slow among local real es-
tate dealers, fall correspondingly
as great as the rise of the past three
or four weeks. The dealers them
selves declare that the week has
been slow.
Contractors Graham & McKeon
have broken ground for the erection
of two-story brick building for An
drew Petraska, at Hall avenue and
Catherine street. When finished, its
lower floor will probably be occu-
pied as a saloon.
Local real estate dealere are unan-
imous in saying that the coming
summer will be great one for real
estate transactions. The increased
property valuations in North Amboy
and the numerous buildings being
erected there promise that sales In
that part of the city will number the
greatest in the immediate future, of

SaNad hx His Wit.

Lord Justice Fitzgibbon, at the time
when he was one of the justices Of ap-
peals of Ireland, was holding assizes
in Tipperary county when man was
brought before him on indictment for
murder. The case was proved that the
victim came to his death by being hit
with a stick in the hands of the de-
fendant, but the doctor testified that
he had what they called in medical
parlance paper skull"
The ease looked dark for the prison
er, however, and the jury returned a
verdict of guilty. AS the man was
brought before the court for sentence
1t was noticed that his lordship had his
black cap in his hand.
Have you anything to say why sen
tence should not be pronounced upon
you? demanded Lord Fitzgibbon.
The man looked for moment and
then said, "No, your lordship. have
nothing to say, but / should like to
ask one question"
"What Is that, my manY' said Fitz-
gibbon.
II should like to know what man
with head like that was doing in
Tipperary?
The black cap was put away and .
prison sentence imposed.

severe to those whom he loves best?
Why was not this woman discour-

Jesus?

purpose, and what should be the atti-
