BEEF PROFITS
ARE ENORMOUS.
However, Farmers are Not
Pocketing Money.
Secretary Of Agriculture Says
Cost Of food Stulis
Too High.

Washington, Jan. I've have al
,ady discovered that the farmer is
lot getting the ex1rbltant profits on,
IT the beef he raises said Secretary
Wilson of The Department OF Agri-
culture, in discussing the high prices
of food SUPPLIES today.
81 have no doubt in the world" he
continued, that he same conditions
will be found TO prevail n most of
the other lines of farm products.
"The Department of Agriculture has
agents in every State and every coun-
" in the country, and they have been
ordered to report extensively on the
cost of production and the returns
on sales of all sorts of food products.
As fast a we receive these figures we
will then give the facts 10 the pub
lie.
1--WE intend to bring Gus the truth,
whom it benefits. | am convinced
that the public is compelled 10 pay
a great deal NOR for nearly every
thing it eats than IT should, and
believe the figures Will bear me
out.
"Therc is ample excuse for some
of the increase in she cost of liv-
ing over what it was years ago. The
farm area is not keeping pace with
the damands for foodstuffs. The
cities seem to have more attractions
for the ladoring man than d. rural
counties. The horde Of immigfation.
as well as the .Sere-incrasing naive
population, ust be fed and the farm
Is expected to furnish the food"

vitation thirty or forty lawyers. Court
Officers and other friends gathered
at seven o'clock and were greeted
cordially by Judge Taylor and Mr..

nounced to the assemblage that the
meeting had been called by Judge

extending good will and thanks to
those with whom they had come in
timately in contact in the discharge o
their duties in the past four year.

ing the outgoing officers. All were high
in their prase of the official conduct of
Judge Taylor and Mr.. Martin and his

which was presented in an able man
ner by Judge J. IS. Glen. Judge Tay-
lor was taken completely by surprise
and his emotions expressed his appre-

Eypld fob and charm As mark Of
lSNocm for him and htire appre-
SesKd6n OF his treatment Of themdur-
ing their ASSOCIATION with him. 1t is

need of the United States is more
farmers. In the near future Mr.. Will
son will begin through investigation
to determine the causes underlying
the increased cost OF living in this
country. In discussing the proposed
inquiry Mr.. Wilson said: "Too many
people are trying to get along without
work and not enough of them are in
the business of producing something.
One man could do the business of dis
tribution where twenty are now en-
gagged in 1t. That is the reason the
cost of living Is high and people are
complaining. Our people must learn
that they cannot get along without
