CHARITY TALKS At
COMMERCIAL CLUB
Regular Weekly Meeting is Devoted to
Discussion of Organization of
Association in County.

Addresses were made by DR.. j. H.
Stolper, E. ]. Hobby and ex-Judge Gill
at the Commercial Club last night, and
the president was authorized to ap-
point a committee of ten, five gentle
men and five ladies to solicit members
for the Craig county conference of
charities and correction, at $500 per.
1t is hoped to secure 400 members in
the county. From these membership
fees are to come the funds for the en-
tertainment of the state conference in
Vinita next April.
The Civic Club had been invited to
attend the meeting. Ladies made up
nearly one-half of the audienve. Before
the addresses, the Vinita quartette,
composed of Mr.. and Mrs. Gaylord Be-
bout, Rev. o. Davis and Miss Higgins,
rendered an attractive musical pro-
gram and Harry Swartz gave recita-
tion.
President Wilson introduced Mr..
Hobby as the first speaker "The In
sane of Our State" was the topic as
signed to him.
Mr.. Hobby said in part:
MANY believe that Americans are
most strongly appealed to by the
money consideration. From that
standpoint / wish to remind you that
the institution already planted in our
midst is no bagatelle. The legislature
has already appropriated $250,OOO but
that is only the beginning If we show
the proper spirit, there is reason to be.
lieve that more than $1,50000O will
be expended by the taxpayers of Ok
lahoma in the city of Vinita"
Following DR.. Stolpers' address
Judge Gill gave some idea of the in
terest and Importance of the confer.
ence of charities and correction which
he had attended in Muskogee and St
Louis. "The objects of the conference
touched upon the reclamation and up
building of fallen and diseased human
Iity, the best methods of organized care
for the destitute, for reclaiming Grim
inals, for rearing the orphan and youth
of our state, the education of our chill
dren and of the deaf and dumb and
blind, the care and recovery of the in
sane, in fact everything almost was
| touched upon which appeals to the
humanitarian side of life"
In closing, Judge Gill appealed tc
those present to forget for the time
being that dollars and getting of dol
lars is the chief object in life, and tc
join in seeing that the coming confer
ence is made one of the memorable
events in the civic life of Oklahoma

MEAT TRUST TO Be
MADE Worldwide
BY Diverting Beef Exports From Argen-
tina to Europe the Price Here is
Expected to Increase.

Washington, d. c., Nov. 21.-A world
trust in meats appears to be immin-
ent, according to official reports COM
ing to Washington. 1t has been sup
posed that South America was a com
petitor, against the United States in
the meat trade with Europe, but it
now appears that United States pack
ers have been investing their profits
in big ranches and packing houses in
Argentina, the largest exporter of
beef in the world, and, next to New
Zealand, the chief exporter of NUT
ton.
North American investments have
absorbed the LaPlata Cold Storage
company and the LeBlanca company
| in Argentina, and the former has now
become probably the largest of its
kind in the world. The United States
tina, who have stimulated the meat
4 industry to a point unequaled in any
country. Recently, to show ranchers
just what they want in the way of a
+ beef, they went into the fat stock show
in Buenos Aires and paid as high as
900 each for five steers and for a
total of 1T steers they paid $771 each
At present there is no sign that
Argentina meat will come to the
United States. 1t is all shipped to Eu-
rope, where it brings high prices while
if sent here it would tend to lower
prices. Thus the beef trust appears
to have both continents at its mercy,
and it would take but a single step
further, by the acquisition of the New
Zealand interests. to control all the
meat of the world
Most of the Argentina beef is chilled
and frozen The packing industry is
growing less from year to year. Ar
gentina's exports of beef have gone
steadily up from 24,590,0O0 pounds in
1900 to 210 million pounds this year,
while those of the United States, after
al uLilOl III tiNlOdot lOl Il uGCduG pdoIy
have fallen off from 1892 pounds last
year to 75,729,000 pounds this year.
The value of our beef sold abroad
in 1900 was 81 million dollars. while
last year it was IL million dollars. The
Liebig company which is a part of
the Chicago trust, has large plants in
Uruguay, where they own $4,000
acres and lease 251 900 acres for rails
ing cattle.
The Chicago interests now have
seven large companies and plants op-
lerating in Argentina, including the two
named above, the combined output of
frozen quarters of beef for the year
being 1,4SO,00O pounds and of mutton
1861 900. A large part of this meat
goes to Great Britain.
Every indication, from a careful
study of conditions by expert observ-
ers employed by the department of
commerce and labor tends to show that
the price of meat is to go up, rather
than be reduced to any great extent
