THE FOOD PROBE.

There is scant encouragement in the announcement that the federal department of justice will undertake investigation into he high cost of living. Many probes of the kind made before, but appreciable 7ood of them. Not only have they failed to keep cost of necessities from soaring higher, but they have even failed :n most cases to discover by what agency and for what precise causes prices were ad anced.
 The aim of federal probe Is to uncover illegal com bnations for the exploiting of prices the necessities f life Under the law any single individual may as what price he chooses but where more persons onspre to raise prices they guilty of violating the antitrust laws In the case big corporations ecords less open and whose acts difficult of conceament from public scrutiny this proved in effective.

 No probe is necessary to reveal the general conditions behind the mounting living crop shortage in reased expectations, higher ope.aong expense and in many is believed the avarce of dealers are re- sponsble.

MEETING OF CATTLE

 Lands Now Marless.
(By Review Leased Wire )

CHICAGO, Dec. Seattle raisers, economists Of the colleges and the gov ernment. plain farmers, marketing ex- perts to the number of eight hundred who have been holding forth National Conference on Marketing and Farm Credits here, completed their labors today.
 They took up problems iny1lving farm finance, putting the landless man on the manless land, marketing, con seryat;on and rural development and suggested remedial producers in re- solutions adopted this afternoon.
 Resolutions and speeches showed that the actual growers of grain. cattle, fruit and vegetables believe they are not obtaining proper returns for the labor and investments because they are not organized and do not work comparatively; that the waste by pres ent methods, or the lack of them is of increasing magnitude and that it makes the cost of living soar higher and higher, and that it is up to Con gress to study the whole situation and apply remedies accordingly.
 The wholesale picture of fruits and vegetables rotting in the fields while residents of the cities paid exorbitant prices for the proportion which. by manipulation or otherwise. reaches the urban markets, was presented.
 The conference, according to its sponsors at last reported a position where something is being accomplished for the farmers. The farm loan bill is law; many states have market commissioners and the federal govern ment has established the office Of mar ketins and rural credits to work with the states, and the discussions have disclosed what the weaknesses of the system are. and how to show the way out A government investigation of the livestock and packing industries by the federal trade commission was asked

Governor Hunt Will Write, or Has Written, a Lengthy Proclamation Regarding the Passage of the Dry Law.
(By Review Leased Wire.)

PHOENIX, Dec. S.-It will take 10.- 0C0 words to tell the people of Ari- zona that the state is dry. Governor Hunt started yesterday to prepare his proclamation and it will depend on how many words he can write a day. If he uses a typewriter he might get it done in a week, but if he uses long hand and stops to thing, Occasionally, and to eat and sleep, it might take longer.
 In the meantime there is a move ment being promoted to run a booze fighters special once a week to the nearest wet town for refreshments and endorsements. Just what the bylaws of the constitution of this organization will be has not yet been wholly de cided. However. it is reported that no refreshments will be brought back by the members, except what they can carry inside. This will conform with the 10000 word proclamation and also save express charges.
 The governor is reported to have said that the fact that it will take several days to prepare the proclama- ton is not to be construed as a desire on his part to delay the operation of the amendment

LOYD YD-GEORGE WINS
 LIBERALS SUPPORT
Cey Review Leased ugirel

LONDON, Dec. S-Events today
 emphasized the fact that David Lloyd George, the new premier. has split the liberal party into two factions. The new cabinet will command more sup port from the conservatives in parlia- ment than from the liberals.
 The liberal conference pledged it. self to support the new government | but the old party leaders will occupy in the House of Commons a place of friendly opposition and criticism.
 Nearly all the antagonism the new administration is meeting comes from
 members of the liberal party and from liberal newspapers although Lord NSrthcliffe. who has been one of
 Premier Lloyd-George's strongest ad- vOcates, made a strong protest today in the Evening News when the ap- pOintment Of A. J. Balfour and Lord Robert Cecil to the foreign office was
 reported. His newspapers have been listing Balfour as one Of the "senile statesmen" and attacks Lord Robert
 on the ground thit his management of the blockade has shown more con- sideration for the interests of the nau- tral nations than for British interests. \ large section of the liberal party remains faithful to eX-Premier Asquith and looks upon Lloyd-George as par
 ty wrecker.
 Criticism is freely made of the old cabineteers that they were too import
 ant to listen to their followers. The opposition to Premier Lloyd George seems to be centered largely
 in London political. London generally
 is no more safe vantage point from

Worthwhile Homefufnishings.

Quite necessary to a pleasant home is good homefurnishings. By "good" we mean durable, comfortable and agreeable to the eye. These features cannot be ignored by people who care for nice things. These people when they are planning their furnishings first decide on the best place to get ideas and suggestions. Among the long established stores of this city is the Nothnagle house, whose reliabil- ity can never be questioned. This store has been one of the most pro- gressive in the city and it's showing at the present time of household ar ticles is simply wonderful. This firm has always sold only the best in what constitutes good furniture and their prices have always been reasonable. MT. Nothnagle is a furniture mechan- ic by trade and this fact has given him rare opportunity to buy goods with better understanding of them than most buyers have. When buy ing, his first thought is: How con- structed;" and then comfort, convent ence and style are each considered. If it has all these qualities, the piece

OUTLINE PLANS
 FOR FINANCIAL
 REFORM IN CHINA
Estimate $120, 0,0OO,OO0 Can Be Made From Proper
 Land Tax.

Peking, Oct. 28.-Chen Chin-tao, the new minister of finance, has out lined plans for financial reform and prepared estimates on the possible in- come of China under effective admin istration, which shows an annual to- tai of 49O,000,O00 dollars silver.
 This amount is in decided contrast to the recent annual receipts of the central government, which have been about 70,00o,000 dollars silver. Of this sum, the minister of finance says that only 30,000000 dollars silver can be absolutely depended upon.
 The receipts of the central govern ment have dwindled terribly under revolutionary influence. At present less than half a dozen provinces are remitting to Peking, and finances are in a precarious condition.
 Chen Chin-tao has advised that a foreign loan of one billion dollars sil- yer should be contracted at once. Of this sum he would use 25,000,000 dol lars for the resumption of specie pay ment on the notes of the Bank of Chi ma and the Bank of Communication. For the disbandment of surplus troops, 20,O0O, 900 dollars more will be requir- ed Reorganization in the various provinces would claim an expenditure of 25,OQ0,000 dollars, and he suggests an appropriation of 6,0O0,000 dollars for the improvement of railways, and 4O,O0O,OOO dollars for administrative expenditure.
 An elaborate plan for the reform of tax collection is outlined, including the making of a proper budget and the re- formation of the currency system. He would establish an inspectorate-gen- eral for the supervision of tax col- lection throughout the republic, fash toned somewhat after the reorganiza- ton foreign bankers effected to col 1ect salt taxes pledged to them as security for a reorganization loan.
 The minister of finance estimates 12O,00O,000 dollars can be realized from the land tax under proper su- pervision.

JANE ADDAMS' FIRST VOTE
 WILL BE CAST FOR WILSON
Publs Illness Prevents Entering Campaign Presidents Behalf

One of the hardest of the many hard blows dealt the campaign for MT. Hughes among women is the announcement that Miss Jane Ad- dams, Americas Foremost Citizen" and one of Theodore Roosevelt's most effective lieutenants in 1912, IS SUD- porting President Wilson.
 The disposition of Miss Addam''s first Presidential vote, which she IS to cast in Chicago on November IS naturally matter of intence inter- est to every righteous American.
 Miss Addams came into promln- ence in the councils of the Progress sive party when Roosevelt first an- nounced his divorce from Republican spoilsmen and representatives of spe- cial privilege-a separation since an- nulled by mutual agreement. She became a member of the Committee of Nine which Roosevelt named as his special advisers in the 1912 campaign and had an important part In draft ing the statement of Progressive principles, particularly the sections devoted to social justice, which played such an important part in the Progressive Party platform. It was she who nrSt put ene phrases Sociai justice" and industrial justice" into the American vocabulary.
 Miss Addams is chairman of the National Woman's Peace Party. She feels that because of the humanitari- an measures he has put upon the statute books, and his stand for broad humanity in all international affairs, President Wilson should re- ceive the support of those who are sincerely endeavoring to improve the lot of the average American citizen.
 In the years devoted to improving the status of the vast foreign-born population whose life centers in Hull House, Miss Addams became known first as Chicago's foremost citizen, and then was characterized by Roose- welt as the Foremost Citizen of America" When the Woman's Board of the Panama-Pacifc Exposi- sition met last year to consider the women who were to be given high honors, they chose Miss Addams as one of the most noted women in the Western hemisphere.
