Mayor Knots organ were instru-
mental in bringing IL about so that the
mayor might hold club over the head
OF Gibson because of the First street
paving contract and other measures
that have been bearing on the toes of
the mayor and a certain street paving
contractor OF late.
IF Mayor Knots thinks he can whip
me into line by this method OF holding
club over my head" said Alderman
Gibson this morning. The is mighty
much mistaken. I am innocent of the
above charges and am not afraid of the
whole combine. l am going to almond

advice obtainable and will say this

Alderman Walter Gibson was in
Hammond today and employed Attor-
ney Joseph Conroy of Hammond to
take up the legal phase of the situa-
tion. Both Mr.. Gibson and Mr. Con-
roy say the whole thing is nothing
more than conspiracy the part
of Mayor Knots and some of his fol-
lowers. They promised a more detailed
statement for tomorrow.

For the last twenty years the price
OF, meats has climbed steadily little
higher each year, According to late
reports, that common chap. the con-
sumner, will soon have to suffer a fur
Their advance of from TO cents the
pound. To the family. which must
live on small salary, this news is
very, very serious. Worse still. 1t
seems improbable that meat will ever
be cheap again or that prices will ever
return to their former level.
The packers say that the increase
in price is due to the decrease in cat
tie. Reports from Chicago do not
bear this out, for they show that in
Chicago last week the receipts of
cattle were S.S97 in excess of the same
week last year, and 1921 more than
in the week preceding Whether these
reports are true or not, it is plain
that the rapid increase in the popula-
ton of this nation has increased trc-
mendously the consumption of meats,
while the fencing in OF millions of
acres of land In the West. formerly
devoted TO grazing, but now utilized
for general farm crops, has been
steadily limiting stock raising
1t used TO be the case that the United
States exported large quantities of
live stock and refrigerated meats. but

Governor Donaghey. who is not OF

five hundred of the best white people
in Little Rock, sent the Negro League
this message:
You may rest assured that you Will
receive n most cordial welcome. and
everything will be done for the COM

The Mayor of Little Rock also sent
greetings, and wrote of the necessity
for cooperation between whites and
