MOVE ON PRICE-FIXING.
Testimony Offered by the Government in
Prosecution of the Packers.

Chicago, Feb. l4.-When the packers
trial was assumed yesterday, the govern
ment planned TO introduce more tele-
grams sent by officers of Swift & Co. to
its eastern representatives to show that
the price of dressed beef was regulated
from Chicago. Lee NJ. Lester, assistant
manager of Swift & Co. dressed beef
department, was scheduled again to take
the witness stand and continue his story
OF the operation Of the test cost and
margin system used by the packers in
the fixing of prices.
Attorneys for the government were
busy Monday going through the mass
of evidence on hand with a view to bring
the case to close within the next three
weeks. Counsel for the packers held a
conference TO consider plans TO have the
court take the case from the jury when
the government closes its case While
the government expects to furnish CON
elusive proof that the packers are guilty
of eonspiring to control the fresh meat
industry, their lawyers believe that the
has already put in its strong
est testimony and insist that nothing
has been shown which would warrant
a conviction.

Hollands Bulb Fields In Bloom,

endless in profusion. As far as the eye
can reach, in every direction, the earth
is carpeted with a tapestry of rich
natural hues, stained with such variety

any artificial dyes or tinetures. The
flowers are grouped together in great
clusters or patches, according to their

What Taft Is Up Against,

lican party for years in the south end

my sugar beets to the sugar trust; my

pay me Sl.25 for wheat and charge Sl.35

my stock to market, the railroads charge
me four prices because they are in a

ROYAL HONOR FOR GREY
SETS ENGLAND ABUZz
Politicians Speculate as to the Signif-
canoe of the Garter Eomi-
nation.

London, Feb. 1.-THE almost unparal.
leled honor which King George has be-
slowed on Sir Edward Grey, the British
secretary of state for foreign affairs,
by nominating him to the old and most
exclusive Order of the Garter, in which
only members of royal houses and Sc
lect few of the highest among the no
bility are enrolled and which many reign.
ing soyereigns vainly covet, has created
immense speculation throughout the
British isles.
1t is nearly 200 years since the Garter
was conferred upon commoner under
similar circumstances. Only four other
commoners have been privileged to wear
the blue ribbon during the history of the
Order of the Knights of the Garter.
The exact meaning of this signal mark
of royal favor is known only to the in
nermost circles, while it is unquestion.
ably sets the seal of the kings and the
British cabinets unqualified approval on
Sir Edward Gray's conduct of foreign
affairs during the recent momentous
years.
Politicians of all shades of opinion are
asking what significance the kings act
possessed from the viewpoint of the fu-
ture.
The retirement of Herbert H. Asquith
from the premiership to the House of
Lords has been r,mored for some time.
David Lloyd George, the chancellor of
the exehequer, and Sir Edward Grey are
supposed to be rivals for the possession
of the prime minister's mantle.
Mr. Lloyd George has figured SO con.
-, lay haf q ha I. h..
thor of a comprehensive program OF so
cial reforms that he has been consid-
cred as the most promising candidate
for the position.
Sir Edward Grey represents the con
servative wing of the Liberal party,
while Mr.. Lloyd-George is the spokes-
man of the opposite extreme.
The recent outburst of opposition to
Sir Edward Grey's management of for
eign affairs, which has been most marked
in the radical papers, has been attributed
partly to the desire of Mr.. Lloyd
Georges followers TO promote the Welsh
leaders interests.
Some of the newspapers yesterday
said that the conferment of the Order
Of the Garter on the secretary for for
eign affairs gives Sir Edward Grey such
emiBence that he could not be expected
to serve in the cabinet under Mr.. Lloyd
George.
One question which awaits an answer
is whether the eonferment of the Gar
ter on Sir Edward Grey has any relation
to Viscount Haldane's recent mission to |
Berlin.
Another interesting question is wheth- |
or il is designed as a proclamation 10 |
other nations OF King Georges indorse-
ment of Sir Edward Grey or more as
a rebuke to his home critics.

Value of Being Well Dressed.

1t Is difficult to estimate how muen
dress adds to or takes from us. 1t i the
index to our natures--our Recommended
| ton. so to speak, to the world, says a
contributor to the Chicago Inter-Ocean.
well dressed" has definition which
to many is not familiar. 1t does not
appear at length in Webster's, but is
defined to a nicely by many women on
restricted expenditures. You may find
it explained BY some dainty girl of your
acquaintance, perhaps, with whom yon
always associate immaculate linen, well
brushed shoes and gloves without gap
ing seams or minus finger tips The
woman from whom you never get a gen
eral impression of dressiness, but who
passes out of your sight leaving every
careful detail impressed upon you. She
is well dressed.
She never looks dowdy about the head,
nor does she go in for all sorts Of ex-
treme hair filings. Her hair, whether
scant or luxurious is arranged to its
own best advantage, aided deftly by
artifice, mayhap, but never conspicuous
ly ready made"
And this pictured girl of mine never
flashes cheap jewelry, nor does she be-
deck herself with the more expensive
varieties. She is just as sweet, neat,
dainty, with that fine discernment which
makes her stand out from the mass
She is wise girl indeed, who fully
appreciates the Importance OF her APP
pearance-who reckons with the little
defects rather than over-estimates the
worth of her box of dress adornments.
A pair of rundown heels takes more
from a girls graeefulness than can be
counterbalanced by bows and buckles
and ribbons innumerable.
SO, YOU see, to dress well does not
imply that one must dress handsomely
and court every new style. To the dis
eliminating it means to dress neatly,
beeomingly and appropriately for the
occasion.
A girl who knows the secrets of dress
ing well is joy to behold. When her
purse permits, she INDUCES in all kinds
of pretty and refined conceits in dress.
And who could possibly find fault with
so natural an inclination? It's the care
she takes not to be over-dressed-to put
quality before the glitter of cheap style,
and to wear her clothes as though they
were meant for her--that makes the
well-dressed girl so charming.
Then. too, the well-dressed girl in
spires something more than admiration
she incites confidence and commands
respect. Wherever she goes she radiates
the satisfaction she feels in being above
criticism. In business she gives the inn |
preston of being capable. A man nat
urally thinks that girl so judicious in |
her own affairs would, doubt |
less, exercise good judgment in the care
Of his business Also he feels that she /
is a fitting representative of his house
a person who will attract and not repel /
his patrons, or business associates, as
the case may be.
