FOOD PRICES WILL INCREASE.

Dr. Eugene Davenport, dean OF the
College of Agriculture of the Uni
versity of Illinois. in an article in the
Good Housekeeping Magazine. says
bread and meat will never be lower
in the United States than now. He
also declares the prices Of these arti-
cles will soon be yet higher. and con-
tinues:
1--WE have SKINNED the cream Of
fertility off most of our lands. Great
stretches of country have already
been abandoned and all lands that
have been farmed for half century
are declining In production, except
the few that have been fertilized at
the expense of others near by.
mo lands are good enough to en-
dure q quarter of century of exclu-
sive grain farming without marked
decrease Of yield.
"One field at the University of ILL
nois has raised corn successfully thir-
ty years. and 1t has decl'"ed in yield
Oh the average bushel a year,
though 1t was superior land at the
beginning and was too rich to ever
wear out.
Someone has said that the time
has come when to fire a cannon rep
resents the cost of college educa-
tlon. and to build battleship costs
q university.
These conditions will one day
amend public policies, but it will only
increase the demand for bread, and
now that we are checking the agen-
cies of human destruction, we must
understand what it will mean in pop
ulation.
Every life saved and every infant
preserved adds not only to numbers,
but to the average length OF human
life and, correspondingly, to the de-
mand for food.
cannot see, therefore, any last
ing relief from the prospect of per-
manent high prices for food.
Improved methods of production
will defer the day and soften it's com
ing, and reduced wages, consequent
upon dense population, will result
in force demand for a lessened
amount and cheaper kind of food
for the masses, and this, more than
all other causes, will keep prices In
check.
Back OF 1t all lies the fact of the
pressure Of population and the lessen
ing fertility that no race yet has evel
stood against nor can stand against
except by new and permanent meth
DDS of agriculture, such as have mo-
yet been generally established.
THE day of cheap meat is over an
that of cheap white bread is passing
and unless we can speedily esteablisl
a more permanent agriculture thai
has ever yet been established, thel
will prices not only go higher, blu
the most Of men will be forced t
subsist on cheaper foods.
The permanent food supply is al
tainable only by permanent system
of agriculture that increase instead .
decreasing fertility, and even these d
not prevent population from overtal
ing production.
In the end high prices for food ar
inevitable, and it looks as If we ha
fairly started on the road, and il tina
Is so, the only financial relief
cheaper food or less of 1t.
II am in all things an optimist, ne
pessimist, but we cannot afford t
close our eyes to very evident fact
We have lived as have no other pee
pie in superabundance Of foot
That time is over. expect fluctu;
tons in prices; but, for the reason
outlined, believe that the era Z
cheap food Is past forever"

 It. is that mission that brings him here. Though d man of 80 years of age. he is physically sound. with the ex- ception of a slight defect in hearing. and is just such a man as would be delegated on quest of that import ance He has looked over the north side of the river and is now giving the south side his attention. What he Is looking for is q tract of land that can be purchased at q reasonable figure that contains half a dozen sections. Needless to say. he has not yet found that much land in a body for sale in the salt river valley.

 The trustees of the school board were present at the council meeting with ta request that the council call a mass meeting of Mesa taxpayers to decide a new question. namely, wheth- CT or not the city shall lease the west half of the plaza in the south part Of town to the trustees for the pur- pose of erecting thereon q public school building to cost about 1000 The council agreed to call the mass meeting to be held next "Wednesday evening at the Mesa Opera house
 The school trustees.' in presenting their request, stated that present con
 
 that another building similar to the present one has become an urgent necessity of so grave a character that it can no longer be overlooked. Their plan is to float a bond issue of about S5d.o00. a sum sufficient to erect q suitable building. and have the west half of the plaza leased to them for building purposes. The east half of the block is already occupied by the high school under q similar lease
 One of the arguments of the trus- tees in favor of the location was that another pretentious school building in ciose- proximity to the high school would lend more dignity to the south ern. part of town and create favor- able impression in the minds of peo- pie arriving in Mesa or passing through on-the trains

 ened at something or other. the horse suddenly pulled back-not so very
 hard, apparently-and then sank to the floor. : Dr. Young. q veterinary. was summoned. He found that a
 blood vessel in the region of the heart had been burst. The horse was
 taken over back of the Alhambra ho-

 vive it. But the injury was fatal and

Wanted Self Respect
 And Judicial Honor
Reply of Federal Judge the Keynote
 of kIein's Great Play.

In the remark of a federal judge who was recently offered the nomina- ton of one of the great political par ties after lining q certain trust q number of million dollars. For Gods sake. leave me my judicial honor, manhood and the respect of my Charles Klein's great play. "The Lion and the Mouse" .... fhis is one of the many recent ia- stances which demonstrate beyond cayil that MT. Klein did not begin to touch the center of reality when he wrote his great drama which has kept the public of the entire country talking for the past three years. The clergy and the press in reference to recent graft investigations have used this play which Henry B. Harris had the wisdom to produce as texts for sermons and editorials. and lately the president of the United States was urged to use the lesson taught by the Lion and the Mouse" as a cam paign document.
 lt is over three years since the piece had its premier. but a brief re- sume of the story may not be in- apropOs. John Burkett Ryder. the un- scrnpul"us money king of the' world. is thwarted in his plans by Judge Isossmore of the United States su- preme bench. Ryder resolves to ruin both financially and in reputation the honest jurist. The former wreck has been accomplished when Shirley Ross more. his daughter, and Ryder's only son, Jefferson. return from q Euro pean trip. They met abroad and had fallen in love. The girl. learning of her fathers impending disgrace. sets about to save his reputation and be- comes q member of the money baron's household. How the Lion succumbs to the Mouse is unfair from the dramatists standpoint to reveal
 Miss Elberts will be seen in the role of Shirley Rossmore and Walter Edwards is dealing with the part of Ryder. It is claimed by the critics that Mir. Harris is this season sending the best company yet seen in AIr. Klein's drama.
