claims. No living explorer or Els
kline has been within hundreds of
miles of the north pole.
This Is the startling conclusion
reached by Knud Rasmussen. say
missionaries to Greenland. who re-
turned here Saturday. The mission

reliable, say too that they bring de-
tails Of Rasmussen's cross-examina-

and Eturishuk, upon whose testimony
Doctor Cook relied for confederation
Of his claim that he reached the north
pole.
After closely questioning these two
and other Eskimos, Rasmussen Is alb
solutely certain that the pole is still
unconquered. Rasmussen, an expert
enced arctic explorer, is the Danish
inspector of Greenland. His mother
was an Eskimo, his father a Dane.

arctic exploration Is accepted with

partisan of Doctor Cook at one time.

Colonel Declines to Make Any Com
ment on Stimson's Defeat.

New York. - Colonel Roosevelt
had nothing to say on the defeat
Of Stimson. In fact he would not be
interviewed by the newspaper men
who trooped to Sycamore Hill as soon
as the result was definitely known.
Kermit Roosevelt, who accompar
MED his father to the polling place and
cast his first vote earlier in the day,
acted as spokesman for the colonel.
MY father has nothing to say" said
Kermit automatically. What could
he say?"
The vote in Roosevelt's own election
district, the Fifth, was shock to the
colonel and his Oyster Bay admirers.
Dix carried the district by 60 votes, re-
ceiving 218 to Stimson's 1913. Taft got
/ majority of 125 in the district in
1908.

that President Davila will appeal to

I'm FAVOR OF BOYCOTT
IF PRICE IS LOWERED
Cheaper Food for Ameri-
Gus the Cry Now.

While Americas people have not ap-
piled the boycott on the Meat Trust,
people here are in sympathy with the
movement for protection that is sweep
ing the country like tidal wave. It
is common fight against rapacity
and greed of the meat monopolists. in
which the people are uniting.
Very little Western beef is sold ii
this market, where the supply Of
home-raised beef is abundant and
reasonable in price, but people here
feel the pressure just the same.
On all shipped meats, lard and like
commodities the price is always going
higher.
In many Georgia cities there is or
ganized resistance to the demands of
the Meat Trust, and people are alb
staining from its use in any form for a
period OF thirty days And this fight
is being felt by the pockets of the meat
barons.
Here III Americas, where our supply
is drawn wholly from the farms here
about, the choicest cuts of beef are
by the Trust, prices put on wings.
less price for other portions But when
it comes to buying bacon, lard, side
meat or other commodities controlled
by the Trust, prices put on wings.
Not only is meat higher, but other
necessities likewise.
Lard has kept the pace of increase
and has jumped fron( the respectable
price of 10 cents a pound to the almost
prohibitive price of II, IS and 1G
cents a pound
Butter, egges and flour, the house
wife states, too, have kept the pace
or set the pace, in the matter of in
: creased cost of living, and as a result
what has long been considered ne.
cessity has jumped into the realm Of
luxury
Eggs continue strong, while butter
is robust in price and strength.
Breakfast bacon, the ever essential
breakfast dish, has joined the COW il

[ at II cents a pound is now put on thu
