THE PROSPECT FOR HIGHER
MEAT.

That higher prices are sure
for all kinds of meat is the
opinion of those who are keeping
a close watch on the situation,
and that by the coming spring
prices are going to be 80 high as
to be virtually prohibitive is the
general opinion. A press dis
patch from Chicago says:
What will people eat instead
oil meat or what other item will
be cut off their bills of fare when
the retail prices for steak and
roast begin to show the effects
of the deluge of live stock that
has arrived at the Chicago and
other live stock markets recent
ly as the result of the drouths,
short water and high corn?
That is what the wholesalers
of the various commodities are
figuring on right now. the GER
tainty that live stock prices are
going to skyrocket heights be-
fore spring being based upon
the shortage that existed before
the scorching began which has
compelled farmers and ranchers
to market hogs, cattle and
sheep with a rush. The country
has been desDoiled of its live
stock in a way that is believed
to make an era of new high
prices for all meats. That the
big meat packers will come in
for indicting and cussing is
taken for granted by their at
torneys. They always get
blamed for high meats. With
receipts of hogs enormous and
corn prices going up, range and

PROFITS OF AUTOMOBILE
MAKING

Just ten years ago the manu-
facture of a popular priced auto
mobile was begun in Detroit at
the recent birthday party of the
corporation cash dividend of
$40. 600, 600 was declared on the
capital stock Of 81, 600. 600 The
people who were fortunate
enough TO begin with this com
pany have enjoyed profits that
make the gains of railroads and
public service promoters look
like genteel poverty. 1t is not
likely that this dividend repre-
sented the surplus of the com
pany by any means for It is now
doubling the size of the factory
for the purpose of putting out
next year $50. coo cars. In case
the demand slackens 1t VIII be
possible for this concern to slim
ulate consumption by still further
reducing the price. A net profit
of only so a car would yield
profits of So. 100000 a year, or
more than $50 per cent Some
money has been lost in the auto
mobile business, but a whole
flock of new millionaires have
been created by the development
of the industry.

whether he intended to take any ac-

w. F. Hughes, attorney for Mr.. Aus

P|L|NG UP THE TROUBLE
FOR WILLIS ELDR|DGE
More Complaints Are TO Be
Lodged Against the Check
Producer

Trouble in plenty seems to be
reaching out for Willis Eldridge, the
young man who is serving time in
the Blue Earth county jail for having
passed several checks drawn on a
bank where he had no funds. He
has thirty day sentence and when
he is through with that, he will have
to face charges that will be preferred
by the National RanlS of Commerce,
and possibly the National Citizens
bank will lodge a charge against
him. And to make matters worse
for E'dridge a sheriff in North Dako-
ia has been making inquiries as to
when the fellows sentence expires
here. 1t appears that young lady
in North Dakota has lodged a com
plant against Eldridge He may be
taken TO that state for prosecution.
When Judge Pau sentenced Eldridge
to Jail for thirty days. the young
man stated that under the same cir
cumstances he would repeat his
check issuing performances. He
claimed that he was in hard lines"
and needed the money. He did not
appear to regret his criminal act and
laughed when the sentence was pro-
nOmced.
