THE prime question in university edu-
cation today is how to produce efficient
men--men of sound knowledge, with the
art OF using it effectively for the good
of mankind: men of high ideals and un-
mpeachable integrity: men and women
who are true and constant in high en-

OF the soul is not intermittent.
To produce such men and women for
the state, university must have build

endowment. and, above all. great teach
ers. 1t requires a costly plant to produce
fine products. The greatest and noblest
work in the world is the making of men.

OGDEN ARMOUR DENIES
THAT BEEF IS TOO HIGH

New York. Jan. NJ. ogden Armour.
the head OF Armour & Co. was asked to-
day Just before he left for Chicago what
he thought about the high cost Of living.
There is only one thing 1 can say.
Mr.. Armour replied. "and that Is that the
price Of fresh beef to-day Is only half a
cent a pound higher 10 the retailer than
It was a year ago.
with pork, the case is different That
is considerably higher The price Of live
hogs IS high and the price of corn Is
high. 1t all comes back to the farmer
II you consider Il. II he does not raise
his own corn II costs him a lot more 10
feed his hogs than It used to. The high
price Of corn is responsible for the high
price Of meat. There IS very little profit
N beef for the packer for It is sold TO the
retailer at price that is but a very
small advance over what Il costs. Bust
ness IS in very good shape and there has
been a complete recovery from the condi-
lions Of two years ago"
why is oleomargarine so high?" Mr..
Armour was asked.
"Oleomargarine? Why. because butter
IS so high" and Mr. Armour chuekled az
his Joke as he dashed for his train.

PORTERH0USE STEAKS
At 10 CENTS A POUND,

Milwaukee. Jan. 2i.-The Milwaukee
meat trust war is developing several
new phases. Alderman Braun proposed
to introduce measure In the city eoun-
ell to hold an investigation of the various
food prices in Milwaukee. and says he
believes the city can aid in forcing down
the price of meat by exposing the great
profits made by the retailers as well as
the packers.
The factory inspector reports that the
high prices Of food stuffs Is resulting in
a remarkable increase Of the number of
permits for children 10 go 10 work. in
every case, he says, the parents say
that the prices Of necessities are so high
that they cannot live without the added
income Of childs labor.
The first direct result of the strike,
however, was the announcement to-day
by two butchers that they would sell
porterhouse steaks at 10 cents a pound
per fiat cut, or better than half the rul-
ing rate The butchers making this cut
are on the outskirts. but have been pat
Tonized by several hotels.

EXPLAINS MYSTERY OF
HIGH POULTRY PRICES.

New York. Jan. ITO Harry Dowie,
president Of the Wholesale Poultry Deal
ers' Association, there is no mystery
about the high prices that New Workers
are paying for chickens, ducks, and other
domestic fowl. Unjust and unwise com
petition on the part of the shippers is at
the bottom of It, according to President
Dowie. This reckless competition is at
tributed, in turn, to the practice preva-
lent among big refrigerating plants Of
making liberal advances of money to the
shippers 10 get the business of holding the
stock. The farmer is the man who is
coming out on top. as Mr.. Dowie reviews
the conditions
The amounts which the 'freezers' ad-
vance to the shippers vary, according to
the credit of the shipper, but a buyer
with good financial standing can obtain
from the freezer" practically the entire
amount that he invests in his stock. He
places this stock in the refrigerating
plant, where it is held practically as col
lateral against the plants loan.
President Dowie is inclined to believe
that the retailer is charging greater
margin in profit than he did ten years
ago.
Conditions to-day" said he, compel
the retailer to do a more extended credit
business than he did in former DAYS
You can see it in almost any part of the
town-butchers and groeers soliciting ac-
counts on credit, The fact Of the matter
is that the retailer is making the fellow
whose credit is good pay for the man
whose account is worthless"
President Dowie characterized as alb
surd the idea that the refrigerating
plants were being used to create excess
sive food prices. Any attempt of that
soi, N the poultry line would be suicidal
he said.

The little that was said was against a

The central body Is engaged now in

the subject Of a meat boycott up at the

uniting with a great national organiza-
ton.
IAN local efforts, though effective for
the time being, fail to carry with them
the necessary weight to produce perma-
nent relief.
What we are aiming at is to make the
Anti-Food Trust League an organization
so vast. so extensive, and so powerful
numerically that there will be no need
to interdlct the use Of any article of food
but that the very fear of such general
suspension and its dlreful consequences
Will have the effect of lowering prices
and keeping them down.
My trip was most gratifying Every
where l saw evidences of the determine
ton to do something. and do it quickly. -
First victory Local.
The Anti-Food Trust League won its
first victory yesterday when Corpora
ton Counsel Thomas decided against
the oyster dealers, who sought 20 pre-
vent consumers from purchasing biva!ves
at the wharves. After deciding the mat
ter, the corporation counsel spoke as
follows:
IN this case the law is clear. and
/ purchases can be made from the oyster
boats. II the city ordinances regarding
! licenses had denied this right to the
public, your league would properly have
undertaken TO have the regulations
changed.
ANY law which would prevent the
consumer from purchasing directly from
| the producer, and thus force the masses
to give the middleman a commission.
would be against the public welfare Elk
cept for police regulations, the law should
be for the greatest good to the greatest
number. and in most cases a liberal in
depreciation would follow any case in
court"
The sporadic uprislngs against the high
price Of beef IN various cities throughout
the country has raised the question or a
