About the Price Of Meat.

The Omaha housekeeper is lost in wonder.
ment, while the price OF meat goes awaiting far
beyond the COW OF the nursery rhyme, which
only jumped over the moon. Retail dealers re-
port that the prices they are asked to pay the
packers have almost doubled in the last week
and consequently the price to the consumer has
advanced correspondingly. Reference to the
live stock quotations show that at South Omaha
the supply of animals has been in excess of that
OF last year and the prices are lower. On
Wednesday, for example. the prices for both
cattle and hogs we're at decline OF from s 60
10 cents a hundredweight below the preceding
days figures, and dollar or more below the
prices paid for similar grades in 1914 The only
price that shows any advance in quotations is
that for fancy fed lambs which has gone above
all previous records.
Just what is the reason, then. for the ad-
vance at retail. The dealers say the packers
have doubled their prices on fresh cut meats,
and justify doubling theirs correspondence.
Why this advance in price should be suddenly
thrust upon the consumer is beyond understand
ing. The one thing certain is that the meat
eaters are being squeesed and that the situation
offers an inviting field TO the authorities for an
Investigation that investigates.

en- radical steps to protect the students
against the epidemic of smallpox which
is threatening this part of the state.
A few cases were reported from the
town but no alarm was felt until one
or two of the students developed SYM
toms, and as a number Of others were
known to have been exposed. Doctor
Sprague, head OF the department of
hygiene, has decreed that all students
shall either be vaccinated by tonight
or prove immunity by previous vac
cination. and that no one will be ad-
mitted to class without certificate to
that effect. The city physician and
the doctors Of Grinnell in general say
that the situation is not a serious one
by any means, but Doctor Sprague says
that as far as he is concerned he is
determined that it shall not have a
chance to become so. AS a result vac
cination is the order of the day among
the students. and a stiff left arms is
quite the fashion.

Special to Times Republican.
Ames, April 3O--Announcement that
the state law forbidding fraternities
and secret societies III hiSaa ccsccls
would be enforced In Ames was made
to the high school students by the
board Of education. The board has
ordered that each member of the jun
Tor and senior classes appear before
notary public and sign an affidavit
that he or she is not now a member
of any fraternity, secret society or So
cial organization existing in Ames high
school and will not become a member
while connected with the high school.
Board of education members state
failure to make such affidavit will lead
to suspension after proper notice has
been given to the parents. They state
that they have sufficient reason to be-
lieve that such organizations are now
existing in the high school, in spite of
the fact that pledges to refrain from
joining them were signed by pupils
over a year ago. The board declares
fraternities in high school to be harm
full to the morals, the discipline and
spirit Of democracy Of the school.
