place. Such queer dumping Of
Polly!
All the same. she liked nice things to
eat as well as any one could. and
when once upon a time somebody gave
her the measles just In season for
Thanksgiving day she felt dreadful
about ii and cried as hard as she knew
how because she couldn't nave any
turkey nor pudding nor mince pie for

with an earnestness that was funny.
Everybody laughed

asked no more questions.
But what do you guess this funny
Polly did? By and by, when she felt
quite like herself again. she borrowed
pencil and paper and shut herself up
In her own little room and wrote a
letter that looked little queer. It's
true. but still made her wishes known:

Then she folded the letter and put 1t
in an envelope and sealed It and took
cents out Of her bank for the post

run.

SAYS PACKERS ARE
NOT KEEPING FAITH
Buyers of Northwest Are Not
Playing Fair with Farmers
Declares Finley

lie farmers, said George Fin
ley, pioneer stock buyer of the
valley, in discussing the down.
ward tendency of the hog mar
ket. There are probably many
reasons for an off market at the
present time but there is no get
ting around the fact that our
packers are not playing the
game fairly with the producers.
A few years ago there were not
enough hogs produced in the
Northwest to supply the local
demand and Coast packers were
forced into Omaha and Chicago
markets where they paid the go
ing prices and stood freight
charges and shrinkage. They
were then preaching hogs to ev-
cry farmer in the Northwest and
were profuse in promises to pay
not only the prevailing Chicago
and Omaha price but to give the
Northwest farmer the benefit of
the freight and shrinkage which
they were then paying.
I'm the last few years there
has been a great change in the
pork situation in the Northwest.
The vigorous more hogs" cam
paign carried on by the packers,
railroad companies, agricultural
colleges and commercial clubs
has brought results. The farm
er has responded to the preach
ing of more hogs" and has
done his part toward lifting the
handicap from the hog markets
of the Northwest.
"How are the packers carry
ing out their part Of the agree
Omaha freight and shrinake but
ment? They are not only not
giving the producer the benefit
of Omaha freight and shrinkage
but they are paying so cents per
cwt. under the Omaha market.
This means that the Northwest
packers are getting their pork
about two cents per pound less
than they would now be paying
under the old order of things.
Although the price of hogs has
declined there has been no cor
responding decline in the price
of meats and consequently the
Northwest consumer is in the
same boat with the Northwest
producer, neither is reaping the
benefits he should from the
home hog industry.
81 don't know what kind of a
combination or working agree
ment exists among the packers,
but do know that there seems
to be little or no competition.
The situation is the same no
matter which of the Northwest
markets you enter. The price is
apparently fixed by the Union
Meat company, of Portland. l
don't know what we little fell
lows can do toward breaking up
this combination, but | should
like to see some organized effort
started to compel the packer to
play the game fairly with the
producer. I am only a buyer,
not a producer, and the benefits
of high prices come to me only
indirectly but l realize that the
future of the hog industry de-
pends upon the farmers getting
all that is coming to him. He
isn't getting it now and is placed
at an unfair advantage between
hioh-priced feed, high-priced
meat and low-priced hogs"

New Diseases
From the Boston Herald.

From the Boston Herald.
 A French woman, Mme Victor Henri. scientific worker in the laboratory of the Pasteur institute. has just matched Mime. Curie's achievement in physics with an important revelation in biology-the dis covery of a new microbe and new dis ease. A suggestive analogy links the two events. It was long supposed that the atom could not be changed. The finding of the radioactive substances dispelled that Illusion. We now know that the atom undergoes disintegration and turns into something not its former self Sim ilarly 1t was believed that germs could not be changed by any artificial process. and that each species of them preserves its nature and effects unmodifed Mme Henri discovery should 1t be confirmed. overthrows that theory It came while she was examineing microbes of the anthrax disease under an ultraviolet lamp. To her astonisfment she noticed that they became transformed into mi- crobes of quite different appearance Fur ther experiment confirmed the observa- ton. She then innoculated guinea pigs with the "evolutionized" bacteria and found that instead of anthrax. thAy "com- municated a disease that did not come under any particular classification"
 Several conclusions have been drawn from the discovery. One is that as given microbes are capable of being changed in-

 Some one on tho east side Is renting out babies by the hour for use in the Essex Market court to excite the sym pathy of the magistrate. At least that Is what Chief Magistrate McAdoo and court officers were inclined to believe. when 30 women, all armed with babies. were rounded up yesterday by officers of the street cleaning department for alleged offenses against the sanitaray code
 As each woman's case was called she came forward with baby in her arms. with from one to half dozen of assorted sizes toddllng after her If the woman had no money to pay her fine the magis- trnte was compelled to discharge her, for he could not sentence the whole fam lily to jail.
