NEW YORK. April An examina-
tion of the March report of the de,
partment of agriculture discloses the
fact that the prices Of leading farm
products. such as wheat, corn, oats. live
hogs, butter. cheese and eggs have with.

above articles is about 30 per cent

Retail Prices.
Consumer Still Paws High.

1t will be noticed that while wheat
has declined about 3S per cent, the re-
tail grocer has lowered his price of
flour only 6l, per cent Corn and live
hogs have yielded 10 a drop of 81 and
SO per cent, respectively, but the retail
price of lard, bacon and ham has re-
sponded in the decline 70 less than Is
per cent, while the prices of canned
meats and cereals in packages have not
varied at all Butter, eggs and cheese
are the only food products the retail
price Of which has declined III proper
tion TO the wholesale price. But on
the average the retail price of table
necessities has not yet reached the pro-
portionate level of wholesale prices. 1t
is tagging about 10 per cent behind, and
is responsible, to a great extent, for
the high cost of living which is still
fact.
A number of reasons are advanced
for the tardiness Of the retail grocer
in lowering prices to the consumer in
proportion rs the market declines. He
is reluctant. it is said, to sell stock on
land at lower price which he may
have bought on a high market, Conn
petition with him is not as keen as
with the iobber, and therefore he is
not obliged to reduce prices. And, last
II. the consumer is not sufficiently in
formed as fu the dc.I'ao in prices, nor
sufficiently interested nor courageous,
nor skilled enough in making good
bargain. The consumer. it is argued,
Is therefore more or less at the grocer's
mercy.
The retail grocer, however, resents
the intlmatlon that he is taking advan-
tage of his customers. Prices, he says,
are lower now than they have been for
years, and they are as low as he can
mike them. The fact, he declares,
that the average retail decline on
group of leading articles Is not in pro-
portion to the wholesale decline is be-
cause his operating expenses have in
creased and his own needs have aug.
mentcd, Furthermore, he intimates
that be is entitled to make as much as
he can.
ASK the Manufacturer.
50 True said one grocer, Hham, ba-
con and lard are not as low i'll proper
tion as live hogs. But you must take
two things into consideration. First
s. 1y. the cost of turning live hogs into
bacon. ham and lard has increased;
secondly. whether it has or not, the
price of ham, bacon. lard and meat of
every other form is fixed by the powers
that be, the beef trust, and not so
much by the law Of supply and demand,
which is only IN inyincible argument
10 the farmer. You say corn and oats
have dropped 90 and SO per cent, re-
scectively, and the retail price of Ger
calls has not been lowered. Well, ask
the cereal manufacturer why he has
not reduced the price on package
goods, ~

dent jefferson. The cheese was four
feet in diameter and eighteen in
ches high. Elder Leland gave the
cheese to President Jefferson as a
present on New Years Day, 1902.
The presentation address, prepared
by a committee of five prominent
citizens of Cheshire was read. In
response President Jefferson return
ed his warmest thanks to the peo-
pie, saying that he looked upon his
New Years gift as a token of the
fidelity of the very hearts of the
people of the land to the great
cause of equal rights to all men.
Then, at signal from the Presi-
dent the steward of the White House
carved the big cheese in the presence
of the Cabinet, foreign diplomats and
many distinguished men and women.
Big slices were handed with bread to
those present until all had been
served. One by one the company
was then introduced by the President
to Elder Leland, who was highly
honored by his trip, both goins and
coming. On the Sunday following
his returns to Cheshire the church
was crowded with people, who lis
tened to the narrative of his journey
and heard the Presidents message
of thanks.

FORTY-EIGHT STATES.

There are now no more territories,
save our colonial possessions. The
vast region from the Atlantic to the
Pacific and from the lakes to the
Rio Grande is one compact nation of
states. In place of the original thir-
teen, fringing the eastern seaboard,
there are forty-eight, comprising g.
100000 square miles, with almost
all varieties of climate, scenery and
industry, the home of 90,00O,000
Americans-the greatest territory
and population ever welded together
in one nation of free people. The
extent of the two new states in it.
self is enough to stir the magma
ton, for this last and comparatively
trivial addition to the body of fed
eralized commonwealths is as great
as the extent of the thirteen parent
states.
AS far as political organization is
concerned, the building of the feder-
al structure is now complete, says
the Boston Traveller. There can be
no more states without the cleavage
of those already existing, and such
development is merely a possibility
of the far future. Other states
here may be in time, in Alaska, the
Philippines, the Hawaiian Islands,
the isthmus, the West Indies, or else
where, but it will doubtless be long
before there is another star added to
the forty-eight of the new flag.

BIG CHEESE OF 1911
RECALLS THAT OF 1901.
Jefferson's Election Was Celebrated
by Making Big Present For the
Victor

1t is announced that the big cheese
which was planned at Appleton, Wis,
for exhibit at the National Dairy
Show in Chicago, October 26 to No
vember 4, is completed. This
cheese, it is stated, will weigh 49,
600 pounds, or six tons. 1t contains
the milk from 10000 cows, has been
finished and photographed, and is
claimed to be the largest unit of
human nourishment in existence on
the globe" The cheese is now rip
ening, and is said to be perfect in
every detail of it's making. 1t will
be great advertisement for the Wis
consin cheese making industries.
The big mass will be the star at
traction at the Chicago Dairy Show
This cheese is ten feet in diameter
and twelve to fifteen feet high, and it
will be necessary to have a ladder
by the side of it so that the people
can go up and look at the top.
The account of this big Appleton
cheese causes the Springfield Mass
Republican to tell the story of an
other big cheese made by the JEFF
ferson Democrats at Berkshire, the
western county of Massachusetts,, in
1901. Elder Leland was the en-
thusiastic protector of that cheese,
and his memory is revered in con-
nection Herewith. The cheese was
made in Cheshire and shipped to
Washington, and there presented
with great ceremony to President
Thomas Jefferson. The cheese was
about one-tenth as large as the pres
ent big cheese. When the news of
Jefferson's election was confirmed
Elder Leland called on the Jefferson
ian Democrats to contribute to make
the big cheese. No federal contribu-
tion was received.
mass meeting was held and Dar-
ius Brown was put in charge OF
making the cheese. Elder Leland
was commissioned to take 1t to

NEXT ELECTION TO BE STATE
AND NATIONAL.

Pennsylvania will elect a State
Treasurer and probably an Auditor
General, four Congressmen-at-Lar
thirty-two district congressman, thir-
ty-eight presidential electors, twenty
five Senators and 207 members of the
House of Representatives next year.
The next election will be a national
and State affair, and no municipal or
county officers will be chosen. Neith-
er will any Judges of the Courts of
Common Pleas be elected.
The primaries will be held in
April instead of September, owing to
the fact that delegates to national
and State conventions must be chos-
en- early. The State conventions will
be held shortly after the primaries.
The election of State Treasurer
comes under the decision of the Su-
preme Court in the case decided in
1910, when it was held that Charles
Frederick Wright, appointed State
Treasurer to fill the term for which
should serve out the term.
A contest to determine whether the
Auditor General can be legally elect
ed next year or whether he must
come up for election in 1914 will
| probably be inaugurated when the
nomination is made.
The Congressmen-at-Large will be
elected because no apportionment of
the State has been made since the
1910 census results were announc-
ed and until new districts are Great
ed by the Legislature this will be
the rule.
| The Senators to be elected are
from odd numbered districts and
comprise one-half of the number.

WORLDS PRODUCTION OF COAL.
United States Exceeds all Other
Countries in 191O-Great Britain
Second, but Over 200 Million Tons
behind

Umteu STATES EXceeuS all OUner
Countries in 191O-Great Britain
Second, but Over 200 Million Tons
Behind.
The total coal production of the
world in 1910 was approximately
1900, 100000 short tons, of which
the United States contributed about
80 per cent. This country has far
outstripped all others, and in 1910,
according to the United States Geo.
logical Survey, it exceeded Great
Britain, which ranks second, by over
200, 100000 tons. Great Britain S
production in 1910 was less than 60
per cent. of that of the United States
and Germany's was less than half.
The increase in both of these coun-
tries in 1910 over 1909 was COM
paratively small, whereas the in
crease in the United States was near
ly equal to the entire production of
France and was more than the total
production of any foreign country
except Great Britain, Germany, Aus
tria-Hungary and France.
The United States has held first
place among the coal-producing
countries of the world since 1899,
when it surpassed Great Britain. In
the II years since 1899 the annual
output of the United States has
nearly doubled, from 253,741,1
short tons to sol, ,596,378 tons,
whereas that of Great Britain has in
creased only 20 per cent, from 246,-
506,1 155 short tons to 296, 6,007,699
tons.

of the world in 1910, except those
for which only the 1909 figures are
