original price paid to the producers. The packers are complaining because
 they are getting less than three dol
 lars for every animal slaughtered,
 and in some cases these men depend solely on the sale of hides, discount , ing the eatable carcass. Thus it is
 that the retail butcher in New
 Britain must pay in the neighbor-
 hood of fifteen cents and sometimes
 more, taking into consideration all
 classes and striking a general aver
 age, for every pound of meat he pur- chases.
 The old timers aver that the con-
 dition prevalent today in the meat market is something that has never
 been seen before The bones, the fat,
 and some of the cuts that were once looked upon as useless have taken on value that was never known. Where the butcher of a by-gone day was
 wont to throw in" a few odds and ends with the purchases of steaks and chops, these things are now looked upon as delicacies and, as such, bring exorbitant prices. Even the hitherto cheap "soup bone" is fast approach ir.g the stage where it will be worth it's weight in gold. And with all this the butchers are hard pressed. Even with the great prices they must re- ceive for their wares, there is com plaint amongst them, and many are retiring to less strenuous and ardu- ous businesses, to work that will re- quire less mathematical figuring and skimping on "cuts' in order that a profit might be realized at the end of the year.
 This is the condition that makes it possible for a restaurateur to raise the prices of food-stuffs and not lose all trade. The whole complaint, as are many other things, is blamed on the war. Armies must be fed, or there will be no fighting. And be- cause of this the nations now engaged III a QeaLn SCruSSlG nave agents In this country buying up all available beef for the boys in the trenches Because of this the men, women, and children in this land must pay high or do without. The housewife, the butcher, the packer, almost every body but the original producer is In this last instance the cattle raisers are fussing because there are not enough available cars to get their goods to the American mar kets, or to the wharves where ships l are waiting to carry such wares 1 abroad. With all the talk of peace in l the air hopeful consumers might look l forward to the end of hostilities as a, l b.. nishing of the high prices on beef; but no! Be not nisled. There is little likelihood that the prices will 30 down, even when the war ends. The explanation for this rests on an- ,ther phase of economics,-the grow ng scarcity of feed for animals
