HIGH SCHOOL NOTES.

The outsome of Saturdays game
with Harrisburg was more of a vic
tory for the Cairo team than a tie,
because the odds We're entirely
against them. Being at the disad-
vantages Of having to catch an early
train, OF playing on a strange field
and before strange crowd and with
a Is n. heavier team to play
against, they should be commended
for their good work and close score.
But, because the team played extra
good ball Saturday will not cause
them to relax their practice and
lay off" for week but rather to
work harder for nearer perfection 50
that when Harrisburg comes here
on Nov. 2 to play they will be met
by much stronger team than be-
fore.

for the entire season:

WAREHOUSES; PROSPEROUS
DIRECT DEALING BETWEEN THE
FARMER AND SPINNER.
More Than Fifty Warehouses Now Lo.
Gated in Mississippi-New Plan
Cuts Out the Speculator.

Jackson.-The annual meeting of ths
stockholders Of the Farmers Warehouse
Company was held here. The reports
showed the concern to be prosperous.
1t IS the famous plan OF direct dealing
between the farmer and the spinner,
which was recently indorsed by the na.
tional president OF the Farmers Union,
Charles :. Barrett, and the presidents
OF the Faremrs' Union in all the cotton
growing states, who met here a few
weeks ago, investigated the plan, and
decided to nationaIlze it as the only
feasible and safe, non-speculatiye plan
by which the farmer could have an in.
iluence in the making of the price Of
cotton. Most of the stock is held by
farmers and those allied with them.
1t has been in operation four years and
has some fifty or more warehouses over
the state of Mississippi In pursuance
of the plan to nationaize the idea,
which originated with President George
r. Hightower, work has started in
North Carolina, and the system as
branch OF the Mississippi concern is now
being started with flattering prospects
of success. The concern has been selling
direct to the spinuers in Europe, receiv-
ing the cotton from the farmer and ex-
porting it, cutting out the middleman
and the speculator When the system
spread it is hoped by it the price of cot.
ton can be influenced.

Filed by Attorney General

Washington.-Following an exhaustive
investigation OF the increased cost Of liy-
ing, the department OF commerce is about
to lay bare a series OF the most start.
ling facts on the subject ever placed be.
tore the American public.
In this report it is shown that during
the past ten years the wholesale price
OF al meats has increased from % to 100
per cent. 1t was in this period that
the beef trust established its malevolent
domination OF the meat food products
OF the entire United States.
In the same period the wholesale price
for poultry has increased more than
50 l'3 per cent. while eggs, which in 1890
sold wholesale at the remuneratiye price
OF II cents per dozen, were in December.
1911, sold at the arbitrary price OF ~
cents per dozen. In 1896 Elgin butter
sold at ls cents per pound. In Deeem.
Der OF last year it reached the unprece.
dented price OF SO cents per pound.
Considered in connection with bulle-
tin issued by the department of com.
merce and labor only a few days ago
presenting facts to show that not since
1907 have food animals been so plentiful
as now, the statement of market men
that the record-breaking high prices are
caused by shortage Of cattle is not
taken seriously.
The most remarkable jump in prices
occurred in the pork market. In 1897
pork sold at $500 barrel, the low water
figure for the twenty-five years. In 1910
pork rose to $23.73 barrel, the rise for
the thirteen years with several minor
fluctuations being gradual. In January,
1911, the price was quoted at S22.47. 1t
rose to $22.75 in February and then be.
gan gradual decline until it reached
S17.56. In 1890 Western salt beef could
be had from the wholesaler at SIS per
barrel. By December, 1911, it had jumped
to $50 per barrel.
Short ribs sides of bacon, the cheapest
meat listed cost least in 1890, when the
price dropped to 7-1O cents pound.
Its maximum Wholesale price was in
1910, when the price went to IL 9-10
cents pound, Throughout 1911 the
price lowered between IL cents and 1-2
cents, A gradual decline followed dur.
ing the last six months in 1911 and
continued until the jump in price reg
istered during the present year,
