Wilson BlameS II On Combines

ITS the trusts, the miserable little
the United States that keep the prices
of food So high" declared Secretary
Wilson of the Department of Agricul-
ture, when he was asked by the district
committee OF the House to-day to put
his finger on the men responsible for
the prevailing high prices of food stuffs.
The Secretary declared that the re-
tailers in every city are organized and
that they take from eighteen to sixty
per cent. as their profit after the meat
comes through several hands from the
farmer to them. Shreveport and Mo-
bile. he declared top the list demand
ing sixty per cent, profit, while many
are satisfied, he declared, with 20 per
cent. while the merchants of the ma
| tional capitol take az per cent
Some OF the most cogent statements
relating to the situation made to the
committee by Secretary Wilson were
| "We have been conducting an ex-
/
haustive investigation and are still
working We have found that the far
mer does not get any more for his
two-year-old steer than he did twelve
years ago.
Il have not the facts at hand, but we
are gathering them, and l expect to
show that the food products of the
American farm are being sold cheaper
in foreign countries than they are in
the United States-I mean meat and
bread.
Fewer farmers are feeding their
grain this winter than for years, be-
cause they got their fingers burned last
year, feeding sixty cent corn to a
steer that they could not get return out
of.
"One OF the reasons why meat is so
high is because there are not enough
people farming profitably in America;
they are not making an acre produce
enough; they are not getting enough
out OF days work.

The Delaware team excelled i'll pass

In the first half Haley scored the
first field goal in the first minute OF
play This was followed by a pretty
goal by Taylor. Every man on the
Delaware team scored in the first half

known.
There is some talk of an organiza-
ton of the Milk Producers i'll order to
protect themselves.
Some of the farmers say they will be
compelled to sell part OF their stock
as it is impossible to produce milk at
the reduced price under the present
price OF feed.
1t has been suggested that the Milk
producers form a stock company, and
operate a creamery on the cooperative
basis.
This would give the farmer chance
to deal direct with the consumer. 1t
would also give him more control OF
his product than he has under the pres
ent system, where he is more or less
at the middleman's mercy.
Unless some adjustment is made by
the Abbotts Dairy before the next paJ
day, February 18th, it is thought the
farmers will take some action IN the
matter

Woman Suffrage in England.

Woman has just demonstrated in be-
halt of her own acknowledgements on
scale so gigantic in London that forty
bands OF music were inadequate to
the diapasOn OF the parading feet. The
thousands OF women, dressed mostly
i'll white, had modified in protest
against the fate of the bill favOrinS
votes for women. The Pankhurst pre-
diction that this famous measure
would prove no more than the mereSt
theatrical device in parliamentary
comedy staged by Prime Minister As
quith seemed to the Suffragettes to
have realized Itself before their dis
illusioned eyes. Yet the seriousness
OF the attitude with which the Com
mons discussed the fateful measure,
the packed galleries, the eager COM
ment in the newspapers, revealed how
completely the feminist movement had
seized a psychological moment.
'Woman's franchise is now no longer
a minor problem in modern politics."
Some of Britan's most famous men
and women at once organized the Ma
tiOnal AntiWOman Suffrage League to
wage against the movement headed
by the Pankhurts and their like the
same energetic campaign-minus the
militancy-which has resulted in so
much throwing of stones and street
violence The battle of woman suf-
frage is only just beginning in ear
nest."-Current Literature.

Can See Metcorites Every Hour.

MeteorS. or shooting stars, as they
are more generally called. have from
the beginning of things been bonn
harding the world at rate estimated
by the highest authority at many thou
sands an hour, OF which, however. an
average OF only five or six are visible
| to the naked eye during the same pc
Rod Of time. Fortunately, owing to
our protecting envelope of air, very
few OF these missiles reach us. In
size. meteors vary from few ounces
TO many pounds in weight, and it is
only very occasionally that one is of
sufficient dimensions to survive the
passage of eighty TO one hundred miles
through an atmosphere increasing in
density as the earth is approached.
mosphere, calculated at not less than
thirty-five miles a second, generates
such intense heat by friction that the
iron of which the meteor principally
consists is Immediately reduced to an
incandescent yapor, which is the lumi-
nous train so frequently seen in the
heavens on a clear night. The vapor
rapidly cools, and condenses in form
Of these minute particles, which as
sumo the spherical form as does shot
during its fall from the top of the
tower. Finally, the little spheres are
scattered by the winds and currents in
the upper regions. and gradually de-
scend in their millions as an invsi-
BILE but never-ending shower.-From

HEROES OF A FAMOUS CHARGE
Most of the Survivors Of Light Bri.
eade Dependent on Charity.

There are believed to be only thirty
two survivors of the rank-and-tile who
took part in the historic charge OF the
Light Brigade at Balaclava, and Of
these twenty-five are in necessitous
circumstances. The oldest is Sc years
of age, and but for philanthropic effort
ne and his companions would have
mad their last days overshadowed by
want. At a moment when the thoughts
of the nation have been fixed once
more upon the Crimean campaign by
the death of Miss Florence Nightin-
gale, the need for money to aid these
old heroes will assuredly not be al
lowed to exist for single day. 1t
is thirteen years since Mr.. T. H. Rob-
ertS established the Balaclava Light
Brigade Charge Survivors Relief fund.
At the banquet then held, seventy
four men attended, and it was dis
covered that several of them were
spending their last days in work
houses-forgotten and neglected.
In the intervening years more than
half these heroes have gone to their
rest. and it is a duty which the ma
ton owes to itself that none of the
survivors shall be again permitted to
need any OF the simple comforts
which can add a solacc to their last
days. The work OF aiding these vet
Grams. it need hardly be added, has
lost sympathizer and supporter in
Miss Nightingale.
The money which goes to these neg
lected heroes is well spent. They are
sent weekly pensions by post, and
when at length the Last Post" sounds
each of the old men receives decent
funeral.-London Daily Telegraph.
