Effect of Measures. Taken to
Boycott Meat Sellers and to
Find Out the Causes of In.
creased Cost of Living :: ::
By JAMES A. EDGERTON.

HNERYBODYi is trying to hit the
beef trust and to do it first.
IL Take the Chicago prosecution,
for example. Judge Kenesaw
M. lands says he started it and then
the gUs ernment tried to take it away
from him. AS for the boycott on high
priced foods, 1t has spread so fast
that everybody who cannot afford to
buy beef and eggs is joining it. The
startling thing is that it has only par
TALLY succeeded In reducing the price
on these articles and has boosted that
Of vegetables. The trusts are bound
to get the ultimate consumer some
where. If they cannot work him for
80 per cent profits on steaks and pot
roasts they will elevaV the market on
breakfast food and ca3Ted beans. If,
like Nebuchadnezzar. he is reduced to
grass diet the price Of hay will go up
A Kansas City man eighty years Of
age says that he has cut out meat,
lives on 10 cents a day and feels ten
years younger. 1t must be that the
trusts have overlooked him. He did
wrong to advertise himself, for now
they will discover that he lives on 10
cents day and put up prices on him
so that he win feel ten years older.

1t seems that the only thing left to
do is to investigate. Investigating is
perfectly safe since it never finds out
anything vital and may stave off mat
ters until the people forget. But If
there is an investigation let 1t be kept
out of the hands Of college professors.
Congressman are bad enough as in
vestigators. but they are not u marker
to college professors. From this source
to the cause of high prices that are
certainly the most astounding ever
conceived by the brain of man.
Blaming It on Breakfast Foods.
For example. one professor says that
the advance in beef is due to the
breakfast food craze. That sort of
logic would make Aristotle reassemble
his dust and wildly break out of the
grave. The particular pedagogue re-
sponsible for this startling idea thinks
that many bushels of perfectly good
corn have been wasted OH breakfast
foods that might have been fed to cat
tie and hogs; therefore the price OF
meat has gone up Simply marvellous.
The average man without learning
would naturally suppose that the eat
ing of oatmeal and faxed bran would
lessen the consumption Of meat and
hence lower the price; also he would
be Of opinion that very little corn is.
used in the manufacture of breakfast
foods. which are mostly composed of
wheat. oats. rice. sawdust or chopped
alfalfa. Other professors have given
out quite as remarkable views Oh the
high price question-that is, If the
newspapers do these learned men no
wrong Whatever may be said Of Civ
ing tainted money to colleges. there is
surely something tainted somewhere.
II might be prize idea for some OF
these institutions of higher education
to establish chairs of common sense.
Fortunately Secretary of Agriculture
Wilson ha. already been investigating
the high prices question and has had
some things to say thereon. Now. we
all agree that Wilson is perhaps the
most competent man I'm the country to
conduct such an inquiry. and what he
says will carry weight. First and fore
most, he asserts that the farmer Is
getting but little If any more for his
food products than he did ten years
ago This clears the atmosphere We
now have something tangible to work
on. On this statement of fact his con-

NOT LAME BUT A
CUTE SKIN CAME

New York. Nov. 2S.--Here's the /
very latest in skin games. as develop
ed and perfected by Anna b. Sturla,
otherwise known to fame as "Bana-
ma Anna. AS a feminine Rufus Wal |
lingford, the fair Anna was in fair !
way TO amass a fortune from her
inventive genius. until some "naugh-
~ mems got wise to her game. That
was last June, and since then Annas
address has been the well-known
Tombs. where she has been awaiting
her appearance before the courts.
The trial is set for today.
Four years ago Banana Anna was
poor but honest boarding house
keeper in New Jersey village. oc-
casionally, as variation from the
customary prunes she served bana-
mas for dessert. To this fact was due
Annas fall from grace. She was a
thrifty soul. and didn't like to throw
anything away. But what to do with
the skins of the bananas? Long and
deeply Anna cogitated, until one day,
aha, She hit upon what seemed to
be the answer.
rIacing a banana skin in her hand
bag, she sailed forth TO try out her
invention. Selecting suitable place
on the platform of railroad station,
she dropped the banana skin, then
stepped upon il. and gracefully sat
Gown. AS a game sport she sat down
hard. injuring her spine and nervous
system something awful. When a
claim agent of the railroad had set
tied for the damages TO Annas con-
stitution, she found herself i'm posses
sion of more money than could be de-
rived from the prune-and-hash bust
ness in many months. Choosing diff
ferent cities as the scene of opera
tons, and other railways as the vic
Tins, Anna repeated the operation
with great regularity. at times run
ming the price of her banana skin up
to $1,000. But she played her skin
game once too often, and her ALI
ance for the Prevention of Accident
Fraud got busy with the result that
Anna was sent away to the skookum
house.

THE FIRST SNOW.

The first snow of the season be-
gan Friday morning., and for a time
the ground was well whitened. II
was partly rain, and it did not last
long. There has been an unusually
light precipitation this fall, so that
the ground is dry enough to take in
a lot of moisture. There would be
little to run off, even if considerable
rain or snow should fall, for the
thirsty earth til would take it it ii to
make up for the long, dry past.
There has been heavy snow on
the mountains to the north, for sew
eral weeks ,and the streams have
increased In flow very materially IN
consequence
