COST OF FOOD DISTRIBUTION
SO CENTS OF EVERY DOLLAR
GOES FOR THIS, SAYS REPORT.
Bureau for Improvement Of the Poor
Throws Light on Subject-Con-
sumner and Producer Suffer.

New York.-It costs 80 cents to dis
tribute 81 worth of food in this city.
The bureau of food supply of the
New York Association for Improving
the Condition of the Poor has been
conducting a cost-of-living inquiry and
has just made public a report showing
that 81 cents represents the cost OF
food on its arrival at the terminal
markets here while the rest of the con-
sumer's dollar is divided between
wholesaler and retailer in the process
of getting the food to the consumers
kitchen.
Every consumer said Bailey b.
Burnett, who directed the inquiry, lis
amazed at the constantly diminishing
quantity of food that his dollar brings
to him, and every producer is equally
amazed at the small proportion of the
consumers dollar that finds it's way
into his pockets"
The remedy, the report asserts, is a
reorganization of the food distribution
system based on the result of careful
experiments with the economic effici-
ency of methods of retail distribution.
These experiments, it is set forth,
should be made by a group of individ-
uals with no thought Of profit.

GRAY HAIRED WOMEN GUILTY
FIVE WHO RODE WOMAN ON RAIL
MUST PAY PENALTY.
Oldest Is 65-Sixth Freed as She
Backed Out Before Victim
Was M~istreated.

Wasukegan, ILL.,, Dec. 8.-Five gray
haired women of the village of Volo,
who rode Mrs. John Richardson on a
rail one night in July, because her
name was linked by gossip with that
of her brother-in-law, we're found
guilty here by a jury. Each may be
fined 5000 and sentenced to six
months in Jail.
The band of militant housewives
who took the law in their W hands
was composed of Mrs. Emma Stad.
field, Mrs. Levina Raymond, Mrs.
Alma Watlan, Mrs. Mary Sabel and
Mrs. John Stadfeld.
Mrs. Kate Wagner, the sixth wom-
an, who started to carry Mrs. Rich
ardson outside the village limits, was
freed by the jury because she re-
turned home before the victim was
given her ride. There was no eyi-
dence Mrs. Wagner helped support
the rail and its burden.
Mrs. Sabers age of 65 years makes
her the oldest of the convicted five,
and the others are well above forty.
They sat huddled and dazed in the
courtroom as the verdict was read.
They bore no resemblance to the an.
CRY women, outraged because they be.
lieved a neighbor preferred the com
pany Of another to her crippled hus
band, who drew Mrs. Richardson
from her home by a subterfuge, placed
her astride a weather-beaten scant-
ling, bore her screaming and fighting
to the edge of town and dumped her
to the road with a warning never to
return.
Mrs. Richardson is not vindictive
against her former friends. She was
satisfied with a conviction and was
agreeable to letting the women off
with a fine. She has a civil suit for
$100,000 pending against them.

suit of the federals %retreating toward

A garrison of 500 rebels occupy the
his soldiers would not permit the fed
erals to reach the border or cross over
into the United States without a fight.
His purpose is not only TO capture the
federal troops but also to seize their
arms and equipment. The federals,
however, will be in majority unless
they are overtaken by the rebels.
General Villa expressed his inten-
ton to confiscate the money which the
fugitives were reported to have with
drawn from the banks before the evac-
uation. He said he would protect the
non-combatants except such as were
considered political offenders. Mem
bers of the Terrazas family were
placed by him in the latter class.
Crowds of people with automobiles
camped at Preside, Texas, opposite
Ojinaga, in anticipation the refugees,
including the federals, would cross
the river. Should the federals, dis
heartened by their long sisge In Chi

Another reaso why Villa returned

Pleased at his victories in the north
and confident his projected march to-
