But Art Meeker keeps singularly
silent on the way the beef trust grab
bed off a monopoly on the Argentina
beef. When President Wilson plan
ned his present tariff he had the idea
that it would check the soaring cost
Of living.
The new tariff made possible the
sale of Argentina beef in, this coun-
try at low rates. But the wise mem
bers of the beef trust foresaw what
the new beef was going to do to their
monopoly. So they proceeded to go
down into Argentina and grab off
the beef. Now it appears that the
trust is going to get the consumers
both ways.

MEAT HAS GONE 49,

The beef trust has declared war on
the pocketbook. Art Meeker of Ar
mour & Co., who generally does the
megaphoning for the stockyards
bunch, today gave out a statement in
which he said the day of cheap meat
had gone and would never return.
Meat prices may fall slightly next
summer, because they are abnormal
ly high just now and will continue
high throughout the winter" said
Meeker, ''but they viii never reach
the level of ten or twenty years ago.
On the contrary, do not believe that
the price of meat, during this gen
Grafton at least, will ever advance to
a point where it will be only delicacy
for the rich.
Meat is high this year because
of last summers drought. Farmers
rushed their cattle to market, know
ing they would have to pay fancy
prices for winter feed The result is
a greater scarcity this year that has
forced cattle and meat prices up.
Meat will never return to the old
prices because the supply has not
kept step with the demand. There

MEDIATION STARTS

The United States board of media

to take up the differences between
the western railroads and representa-

Pending the action of the board the
negotiations between the men and
the roads are OF. The men have en-
tered into the mediation only to show
their Willingness to prevent strike.
However, they are vastly suspicious
of the roads.
One labor official said:
1--WE donot intend to bind ourselves
in an agreement which will defeat our
efforts to gain an increase in wages.
Our experiences in the past have
shown us that the railroads have fail
ed to live up to the awards of the
Bsediators. We will meet with the
managers and the mediators Monday.

the matter to arbitration. We are firm

ayers show some evidence of grant
ing them fear we will have to refuse

Everybody notices the discord IN a
woman's convention. Some men even
smile a superior smile. They never
stop to think that the women are do
ing just about what the mel do un-
der similar circumstances.
A woman's convention isn't so diff
ferent. If 1t we're il wouldn't attract
attention. If the women ran a con-
vention in a strictly feminine way
people would probably find it natural.
It's the simple fact that it's very much
the same that attracts the notice.
There's lot of ~wrangling in a wom-
ans convention-much of it apparent
ly over immaterial matters. There's
a deal of personality-often an unnec-
essary lot. There's frequently a plain
lack of a definite decision or even OF
really fruitful discussion on any par
ticular subject.
All these things are found in mems
conventions. Whoever doesn't think
so hasn't been to many of them. II
they are not found it's because the
meeting is a merely cut and dried
affair. Personality, irrelevance, VIC
lent discussions, sulking in tents-you
will find them all.
There's a great deal of human ma
ture in women, after all. Even II
convention they just can't help from
acting about as men act under SINH

Substantial Breakfast.

Substantial breakfasts are cham
pioned by a book published recently
entitled Food and Flavor" The
author is not an approyer of the mo
breakfast" idea that prevails among a
certain number of persons. He con-
trasts f~avorably the solid English
breakfast, on which Canadian break
fasts are modelled, with the light early
meal that is customarily partaken of
on the continent.
Breakfast, the very word, he says,
suggests a great service Britannia
has done the gastronomic world.
Nothing could be more irrational for
normal persons than the continental
habit of eating only bread and butter
for breakfast and then having a sec
ond heavier breakfast at eleven or
twelve o'clock to interrupt the morn
ing's work in its full tide. Far bet
ter, both economically and hygienical-
Iy is the English way of having a sub
stantial breakfast and then nothing
more till lunch time, the best hour for
which is one o'clock. A healthy person
ought to have a good appetite in the
morning, after a nights rest, and
crafty it."

We may always find the springtime
Of life in little children. They are
closest to him who makes all things
new. In a beautiful tribute to the late
Sir Francis Belsey of London, beloved
Of Sunday school workers during his
more than forty years connection
with the Sunday School Union of
Great Britain, Rev. Carey Bonner
writes: He loved little children be-
cause he saw in them the likeness to
the Child Jesus. To those familiar
with him in his long ministry as
superintendent Of the Rochester Sun
day school it was a common sight,
Sunday or weekday, to see him
walking along with a group of boys
and girls clasping his hands or his
coat tails; or. when that was not prac-
ticable. trying to get as neal to him
as possible. To them he gave his
best. One could no more think of
him apart from children than one
could picture spring without the iow-
ers." One Of the best ways to become
as little children ourselves is to love
little children. Certain it is that I'M
less these little ones, who are the
flowers OF this earth, love rs. we are
not partaking of those springtime
riches of Gods love and ~children's
love which we ought to enjCy Sun

the sport. Almost the whole clut

him.

caddie, pointing to the tee, "anc
you're to put the bali in that little
hole with the flag flying above it
I'll go on and mark your ball"
The caddie did so, and the bal
player, with proper deliberation, drove
off. By an extraordinary stroke o
luck he drove a beautiful ball. which
landed just on the edge of the green
and slowly trickled down into the
hole. The caddie, wild with excite
ment, came dashing back, shouting

areful investigation has shown that
he soil is always changing. Water
and wind are always at work moving
its particles from place to place, car
rying them ultimately into the sea.
For the most part this is a beneficial
process. Were each particle Of soil
to remain forever in one place, the
fertility of the land would be rapidly
exhausted. AS it is. new, unweathered
and unexhausted fragments of the UNI
DERIVING rocks are continually adding
to the fertility of the soil zone by tax
ing the place of the wornout particles
which nature
Under certain circumstances, how
ever, it frequently happens that this
process takes place too rapidly, that
the particles of topsoil are removed
before the underlying rock fragments
have been sufficiently prepared to take
their places. This is the case especial
" in the arid and semiarid regions
and in sections where the soil is par
ticularly sandy in character. Under
such conditions soil blowing may be
the cause of serious damage. In the
first place the soil itself may be SO
blown away that subsoil in~suficiently
weathered and filled with humus to
be ready for crops, comes to the sur
face; and secondly, the crops them
selves may be lost through the blow
ing out of the seed or the ~uprooting,
burial or cutting off of the young
plants.
Few General E~xpedients.
The best remedy, according to the
United States department of agricul-
ture, for the farmer who finds himself
confronted with difficulties of this sort
is to adopt a system of crops which
will cover his land with vegetation at
seasons when strong, dry winds are
most prevalent. The exact system
which the individual farmer should
follow depends. of course, upon the
climate, the available markets, and

shield the former until it is sufficiently
far advanced to take care of itself. A
thin seeding of rye and barley used in
connection with alfalfa is a common
instance of this method. On dry lands,
however, where the scarcity of water
must be considered, this plan is open
to the objection that the nurse crop
deprives the soil of a certain amount
of m~uch-needed moisture. Many farm
ers, therefore, prefer to introduce al
falfa and similar slow-starting crops
by drilling in the seed in high-cut stub
BILE of thinly sown millet or thickly
seeded kair corn.
Summer FaIlow Facilities.
The use of the summer fallow great
ly facilitates excessive soil blowing in
sections where dangerous winds are
prevalent in the summer time, because
the land is left fully exposed. This
danger may be avoided to a consid-
cradle extent by seeding rows of
coarse-growing crops at intervals
across the fallow fields at right angles
to the direction of the prevailing
winds. Where the wind danger is es-
pecially great it might even be desir-
liable to abandon the summer fallow
altogether, substituting for it a legu-
minous crop which may be plowed
under in the fall. This practice has
the great advantage of adding humus
to the soil, thereby not only increas-
ing it's fertility but also it's resistance
to wind action. The presence of hui
mus is indeed one of the best protec-
tions against blowing, the presence Of
organic bodies in the soil increasing
its water-holding power and therefore
! aiding in keeping the surface moist.
The sandy trucking soils of the East
may nearly always be made naturally
resistant to wind action by the addi-
ton of humus through the systematic
planting of leguminous crops.
Another Protection Method.
Another method of protecting fields
is to plant rows of trees or bushes or
to build fences as windbreaks. This
