EXPERT PREDICTS
HIGHER PRICES

Bread and meat will never be low
.er than they are now; they will soon
go higher
These are the conclusions of Dr..
Eugene Davenport dean of the col
lege of agriculture Of the University
.of Illinois. In his article in the April
issue of Good Housekeeping Magazine
he says:
1--WE have skinned the cream Of
the fertility off most or our lands.
Great stretches of country have al
ready been abandoned, aud all lands
that have been farmed for a half CEN
fury are declining in production ex-
.cept the few that have been fertilized
at the expense of others near by. No
lands are good enough to endure a
quarter of a century of exclusive grain
farming without marked decrease OF
yield. One field at the University Of
Illinois has raised corn successfully,
thirty years, and it has declined in
yield on the average a bushel a year,
though it was superior land at the be-
ginning and was too rich ever to wear
out.
1--WE cannot afford to live In a fools
paradise in this matter. The day of.
cheap white bread Is passing, and
unless we can speedily establish a
more permanent agriculture than has
ever yet been established then will
prices not only go higher, but the most
of men will be forced to subsist On
the cheaper foods This for sociology
cal reasons, as well as for considera-,
lions of humanity, is eminently un-I
desirable. The era of high priced
food is fairly upon us in spite of our
'boundless CD natural resources and
our 'nexhaustible fertility and the
most that we can do is to retard the
speed and soften the hardship of its
coming by a timely and scientific at
tention to our agriculture.
Much is expected through recla-
nation of arid regions by irrigation,
but the areas are relatively small,
probably all told not exceeding that
of Illinois, and the great grains,
grasses and meats will always be rails
ed On nonirrigated lands. These are
largely occupied already The larg-
est relief comes in breaking up the
range for grain farming, but this
means the last of cheap meat, and it
means neither a permanent food sup
ply nor a final reduction in price.
PERMANENT SYSTEM.
"The permanent food supply is at
tainabe only by permanent systems
of agriculture that increase instead Ct
decreasing fertility, and even these do
not prevent population from over
taking production IN the end high
prices for food are inevitable, and it
looks rs if we had fairly started on
the road. and if that is so, the only
financial relief is cheaper food or less
of it.
81 am in all things IN optimlst, not
a pessimist, but we cantnot afford to
close our eyes to very evident facts.
We have lived as have no other peo-
pile in a superabundance of food. That
time is over. expect fluctuations in
prices; but, for the reasons outlined,
I believe that the era OF cheap food is
past forever"

ident Taft delivered an address ap-
propriate to Labor day before an i'm
mense crowd at the Minnesota state
fair yesterday afternoon. He re-
viewed legislation in the interest of
the farmer and workingman, and de-
Tended his position in opposing the
exemption from prosecution under
the antitrust law of workingmen en-
gagged in a boycott, while advocating
the legalizing of limited traffic pool
ing agreements by railroads.
Do Not Need Class LegisIatioS.
The presidents most notable utter
ance was that he knew of no inten-
ton on the part of the government
to prosecute labor leaders under the
antitrust law. At the same time he
said he did not believe labor organi-
cations should be exempted from such
prosecution by specific statute. He
declared that such a provision of law
would smack of class legislation. He
did not believe labor unions desired
or needed class legislation, and said
he counted on their help in prevent
ing such legislation.
President Taft started at night on
his return to Beverly by way of Chi
cago.

ROOSEVELT IS
CALLED A LIAR
Publicly Accused by Hearer At
ter Labor Day Speech
at Fargo
HELPS GUST HIS AccUSER
Asked Who Pays His Expenses He
Says Magazine Is Footing Part
of the Bills.

Fargo, N. D., Sept. GA man who
fought his way to Roosevelt and
| called him a liar gave a bad scare
yesterday in the crowd at Island
park. Roosevelt seized the man and
helped to eject him from the plat
form. Colonel Roosevelt had just
finished his Labor day address. There
then was a rush for the speakers
stand by the thousands who sought
to see Roosevelt at short range.
A'sma1l, poorly dressed man hus-
tied his way forward. He wore a
battered hat, and was unshaven. 81
have a question to ask you, Roose-
velt," he shouted, and Roosevelt
watched him closely. Standing about
six feet from Roosevelt he called
again.
Asks Who FOOts the Bill.
The people on the stand grew ST.
lent, and Roosevelt faced him. Wav-
ing one arm the man shouted: 81
want to know who is paying the ex-
penses of this trip Of yours about
the country"
The question angered Roosevelt
and he advanced a step and shot
back the answer 81 consider that
an impudent question:" he said.
However, have no objection to tell
ing you," he added. "The expenses
are partly being paid by the maga-
zine of which I am one of the edi-
tors"
Grabs Accuser.
"You lie," the man shouted.
Roosevelt stepped forward quickly
and seized the mans arm just above
the elbow. He explained later that
he did not know who the man was
or what his intentions were and that
he acted as a measure of self protec-
ton. He pushed the arm forward,
turning the man half around SO that
he was powerless to use his arm. 1t
was only trick of self defense which
he had learned years ago, the colonel
said.
Seized by Two Men.
The man then shouted: Your ex-
penses are being paid by the people
of the United States" Before the
man had finished two men had seized
him. The colonel did not release his
grip until the stranger was moving
rapidly from the stand. He was
elected from the platform and swal-
lowed up in the crowd.
The incident caused considerable
excitement.
An effort was made to find the
man but all traces were lost.

TEN DOLLAR HOG RETURNS
Highest Price Since April Result of
Big Demand in the East.

Chicago, Sept. 6.-Ten-dollar hogs
were brought back. into circulation on
the Chicago markets yesterday after
an absence dating back to April 16.
To reach this figure has been the ambi-
tion of statesmen for several days, but
the mark was no sooner attained than
it was eclipsed by the sale of two loads
of fancy light offerings at $10.O5.
Packers had no hand in boosting val
ues up to this level, but their support
was not needed, as the demand from
eastern shippers and local spectators
was sufficient to furnish an outlet for
practically all of the fresh receipts of
$4,000 head at an advance of 10 to 15
cents from Saturdays best figures.
