Beginning Saturday the Cubs have
twenty games to play before the

effective shopping among the per-
centages. Four games will be put on
with each of the eastern teams of the
National league, followed by a quar-
tet of combats with the St. Louis

did not find the going difficult but
they may face something harder now.

Leading the American league by a

PACKERS DON'T SEE
LOWER MEAT PRICES
Think War Demand and Other
Conditions Offset Increase
in Live Stock.
SHOES AT $40 RIDICULED

A recent statement issued by the De-
partment of Agriculture that meat prices
will be lower on account OF the increase
In the number OF live stock has brought
forth replies from beef packers which
show that they do not expect any material
lowering OF prices in tho immediate flu
ture.
A representative OF Sulzberger a Sons
Company in Chicago suggests that war
conditions abroad and the consequent
urgent demand for meat supplies might
Offset the reported increase In live stock.
The Cudahy Packing Company. Chi
cago, said that higher prices for beef
products in the next few months would
probably result, owing to the curtsilment
of stock by the foot and mouth disease
and because live stock is being freely
sold now on account of the high price
Of grain.
Kingan Co, another Chicago arm.
figured that the demand for American
beef from abroad would offset whatever
Increase there might be- in live stock.
Nat G. Murray {. the bureau of crop
estimates is reported az having said in
Washington that the bulletin Of the De
partment Of Agriculture was issued to
correct published statements that beef
steak would go rs high AZ so cents a
pound and that a pair of thoes would
eventually sell at $40. He said that tho
ratio Of increase in live stock was greater
In 1914 than ut any time In recent years.
and that the increase would no greater

for American beef and hides from abroad,
despite increased production, would force
prices higher than the prices Of normal
