HELD 10TH PICNIC
AT DEWEY PARK
Granite City Camp of Woodmen Had a
Large Crowd and All Enjoyed
Events of the Day to the
Limit.

Granite City camp, No. 1886, Modern
| Woodmen of America, held its tentl
annual outing and picnic Saturday aft
ernoon at Dewey Park. Wives, children
and few invited guests, altogether te
the number of several hundred, gatherel
at the park during the day to make
merry. At bright and early hour the
| committee had made their way to the
park and by the time the pienickers be-
gan to arrive they had everything in
readiness. The park pavilion vas neat
| Nv decorated and at that place eongre-
gated the majority of the merrymakers
The committee also was successful in
fitting the grounds with adequate annuse-
ments for the children.
In the afternoon many batook Them
selves to the pavilion, where they tickled
the floor to the strains of music from
Riley's orchestra. The usual athletic
contests, consisting of running races
for all ages, were successfully Carried
ont under the supervision of John Row
ley. His efficient work rs referee and
Judge was certainly worthy of merit.
The baseball game between the mar
red and single men, which is always the
most important doing slated for the day.
resulted in victory for the married
men with score OF Q to 3, the game
being called at the end Of five innings.
The battery for the married men was
Loranger and Beattie; for the losers,
Walker and Gallagher. The hitting Of
Rowlcy and the fielding OF Walker fea.
tured the game.
The results of the athletic contests
are as follows: Race for girls twelve
years and under--Won by Florence Can
ton; second, Ida Lafayette; third, Sadie
Halsall
der--Won by Charles Halsall; second,
Elmer Brault; third, Loren Allen.
Race for boys, fifteen years and I'M
der--Won by Clyde Lawliss; second,
George Bartlett; third, Gene Loranger.
Race for married menWon by Fret
Yangevin second, Edward Normandeau;
third, William Marion.
The married women's race was called
off by the committee. 1t was much to
their displeasure after busying them
selves for nearly an hour making ar
rangements for the event not to have
single lady come forth to compete.
All during the day refreshments were
dispensed from the park by a special
committee, who had charge of the eat
ables and drinkables. The refreshments
consisted of soda, ice cream, fruit, POI
corn, peanuts and sandwiches The com
mittee in charge comprises the follow
ing; Edward Anderson, John Rowley, A,
j. Loranger, A. w. Beattie, John Meken-

MEAT CHEAP?
NEVER AGAIN
Says Packer J. G. Curtis of
New York
HIGH PRICES HERE TO STAY
Producers Are Not Conspiring, He Says,
But Are Ruled by Economic Con-
ditions--Cannot Raise
Cattle Here.
HIGH PRICES HERE TO STAY

New York, June l7-"Meat prices will
never be cheap again in this country.
That 10 certain This statement was
made by Joseph G. Curtis of the com
mission house OF j. G. Curtis & Son,
as he sat in his Office in the stock yard
building, where he could look out upon
the pens for cattle and sheep stretching
lnorthward along the Hudson river.
| Mr.. Curtis was well aware that women
meat boyeotters have been rioting and
housewives leagues taking other meth
DDS to force the retail dealers to bring
down the price of meat.
"Their efforts are useless" commented
Mr.. Curtis. "The price of meat is not
Iartifcially high, The trouble is not
matter of monopoly and restricted
market. The great packers the public
refers to as the meat trust are not
lconspiring to force the prices up anil
keep them there. Right here in New
York, competition is keen this very day.
The high price is the result of widespread
economic conditions. Ii is based on the
law of supply and demand, and it was
bound to come with the development of
the country and altered ways Of living
Once here, it is here to stay.
Some people seem to have an idea
that if cattle and sheep could be raised
for the market in New York state and
New England that the high prices OF
meat would drop. The fact is people in
the eastern states would probably be
more than pleased to raise cattle and
sheep If they could profitably, but the
trouble Is they can't Where farmcrs
formerly fed steers for beef, they are
now feeding cows for milk. Milk and
other dairy products pay them better,
and the mich cows are all they can
carry on the land. And they aren't max
ing money any too fast out of the
diaries, either. II is out of the qucs-
ton to make use OF these cattle for
market, because the good milk breeds
are not good beef breeds.
Even in the West, the day is rapidly
passing when great herds of cattle eau
be maintained on the plains with five or
six cowboys to round them up. Out !
there, too, land is being taken up, AMI |
it 10 steadily becoming less profitable |
to raise steers for the market. Thesr |
facts show clearly enough why meat !
has naturally risen in price and why the
price must stay up"

SECOND EASY WIN FOR BARRE.
Barre Golf Club Defeated Montpelier
Country Club Saturday.

Like the first match of the season,
there was nothing much to the Barre.
Montpelier golf clash between Barre and
Montpelier, as played at the Montpelier
Country clubs links Saturday afternoon.
When the last pair came in, it was found
that Montpelier had scored 21s points,
to 341s for Barre. 1t remains to be said,
however, that Montpelier has some bet
ter golfers who did not play. The scores

A FINE PRODUCTION.

The young people of the Hammond
high school who amazed their friends
and relatives at the Hammond thea
tire last night by staging the quaint
Elizabethan comedy, THE Tanning of
the Shrew, are worthy of compii-
ments for their work. 1t is no small
task to put on a production of that
calibre. There are a thousand and
one things to take care of besides the
mere speaking of the written line.
The stage direction and equipment
were admirably looked after. Really
we are quite proud of our young
scholastic Thespians. 1t was hard
work but of such is life anyway and
they will always remember "The
Tanning of The Shrew" with the most
pleasant memories.

EMPEROR EBERT.

The immensely of the United States
Gary is the chairman Is realized by
but few. 1t is an empire in itself
and no empire has such autocratic
authority over its subjects.
More than quarter of a million
men take orders from Ebert II. Gary.
His word is law in 100 industrial
communities, of which we have few
in this region. He is at the head of
more than sixty constituent COM
panies; and he is a power in banks
that control the finances of the ma
ton. He is at the head of six big
railway lines owned by the corpora
ton and $4,000 men--a whole army
corps-mine the coal and ore used by
this big trust. And he dominates
over a feet of ore boats having more
ships and more tonnage than the
Italian navy
The United States Steel corporation
is the greatest business organization
in the worlds history. 1t is financial.
ly formidable enough to buy and sell
half dozen European kingdoms and
its revenues are great enough to make
the chancellor of the exchequer Of a
great country envious.
Yet the head of this big industrial
empire is the product of an Illinois
farm. A lawyer. a country banker
village president and an obscure
county judge were his titles before
the realization of his abilities by
financiers placed him in a high sta
ton. When the history of the pres
ent day industriaHsm is written

prominent part.

which Gary reigns is vast one

that it is dwarf compared with the
