MOTHER HELD FOR POISONING
Mrs. Carrie B. Sparkling Arrested on
Charge of Poisoning Son.

Bad Axe, Michigan Mrs. Car
rie B. Sparkling, wife of the late John
Wesley Sparkling and mother of Cyril
Albert and Peter Startling, all of
whom are dead, was arrested charg.
ed with the death of her son Cyril
DR.. Robert A. McGregor was held
to the circuit court charged with the
murder of Cyril Sparling. Miss Mar
guerite Gibbs, the nurse who also at
tended the youth, waived preliminary
examination and was bound over on
a charge of accessory after the fact.
Prosecutor Boomhower is quoted in
an interview as saying that the case
against the nurse will be nolled after
she has given the prosecution a full
statement.
Mrs. Sparlings arrest resulted
partly from the testimony of Sheriff
McAuley at the McGregor examina-
ton. The sheriff testified that Mr.
McGregor said to him: IF you fel
lows will take up Albert Sparling and
find poison in him | know of a man
who can make Mrs. Sparkling confess "
Later a chemist reported that he
had found arsenic in Albert Sparkling s
viscera. The bodies of the father and
third son are to be exhumed soon.

BOYCOTT ON BEEF
EUROPEAN NATIONS AND JAPAN
LIKELY TO FOLLOW ENG
LANDS INITIATIVE.
CONSUMER TO BENEFIT
Means Partial Solution of the High
Cost Of Living" Problem.-Farm-
ers and Stock Raisers Will
Be Principal Losers.

Chicago, H. The high cost
tial solution in the exclusion of the
beef trust" from competing for Eng
lish army contracts and the antici-
pated boycotting of products of the
United States trust by the general
public of that isle.
If the packers fear that Russia, Ger
many, Italy, France and Japan will
follow the precedent established by
England is founded upon fact, meat
and meat by-products will take q de-
cided slump and the workingman will
be the triumphant winner, with the
stock raisers of the country-not the
packers-holding the small end of the
horn.
The law of supply and demand is
the basis for the prediction of the
packers and board of trade men. They
declare that if the American eXporta-
ton of meat and by-products is cut
off and the packers are forced to cater
to the domestic trade alone, the price
of meat can only be held up by a
terrific display of physical force"
To stem the slump would be as fu-
tile, they say, as for one man to at
tempt to dam the Mississippi river at
its mouth.
The United States produces more
meat than is now used by the citizens
The workingman has been forced to
cut down the ration to his family be-
cause of the excessive price. To rid
themselves of this enormous surplus
the packers have built up great
market abroad. England, Russia, ia
pan and Germany have been the larg
est buyers. Little beef, other than
the canned variety, has been exported
The great export business has been
in pork, bacon, hams, lard and oleo-
margarine.
Of recent years Australia has en-
tered the field as a big producer of
sheep. In the past year ireland raised
three times as many hogs as in any
year previous and Denmark, a third
more. Argentine and other South
American countries have become the
cattle producers. The unlimited ranges
and therefore cheap method of feed
ing has placed them in position
where they have given the Chicago
packers, who practically control the
United States meat export trade, a
hard battle for supremacy.
The stock raisers and farmers will
be the real losers if a slump in the
domestic market takes place. For sew
eral years they have been enjoying
a season of unrivaled prosperity. Cat
tie, hogs and sheep have brought
prices in the market which have made
even the most optimistic hold their
breaths Added to this has been the
extremely liberal profit margin added
to the meat products by the packers
The packers make no secret about
who will get the first slashing if the
foreign trade is cut off and a slump
in the domestic trade market results.
They insist that their business is
being conducted on a far smaller mar
gin of profit at present than any other
industry. If slump comes the stock
raisers and farmers must take the
brunt they assert.

THE CHAMBERLAIN BILL.

Senator Chamberlain has a tenta-

by the government in the development

government do work very similar to

1t is line of action congress should
be considering and Senator Chamber
lain has shown progressive economic
views in introducing his bill. There

the power sites should be allowed TO

bine and be used to further enrich
few men.
The power resources Of this country
belong TO the public and there is no
sound reason why the public should
not get the benefit. The participation
by the government in reclamation
work furnishes precedent. Through

ILLEGAL HUNTING.

Numerous complaints received here
indicate that the law against shooting
grouse out of season is a farce and
worse. Reports say the law is being
broken openly and continuously. 1t
is predicted that when the season Of
ficially opens the grouse will be so
scattered and so wild that hunter
will need a race horse and an airship
as well as a dog and gun If he bags
any game.
What is our game department do
ing? Is d quarrel still on as to who
is deputy warden Of this county? If
so it would be a splendid thing to
have such disputes settled and to have
some motions made towards enforc-
ing the law. The present situation is
rank. 1t places a premium on law
breaking and penalties the good citi-
zen who buys a hunting license and
waits until the grouse season open,
before doing any shooting.

this way some day as sure as the earth

come an end to the unequal distri-
button of wealth-the curse of Am
erican civilization.
OF course the vested interests op-
pose the Chamberlain bill. sure they
will and they will probably defeat the
measure temporarily. But in the
course of time there is going to be
congress that will not pay much
attention to special interests and will
serve the people.
Everything is always lovely in tho
