LOnQOn, Jan. 5.-OmCldl announce
ment Of the resignation of Sir John
Simon as secretary Of state for home
affairs was made in the house of COM
mons by Premier Asquith.
London, Jan. 5.--A government
proclamation was issued, calling up
the sixth, seventh, eighth and ninth
groups of recruits who enrolled under
Lord Derby's recruiting scheme. The
men will 'egin reporting for service
on February 8.
London, Jan. 5.-Of 5,011.441 men
Of military age in the Upited Kingdom,
only 2,S29,263 enlisted during the Lord
Derby recruiting campaign, it was an
bounced today.
The figures show that 100000 un-
married men and 1,679,263 married
men presented themselves for service.
OF the grand total of 2,S29,263 mar
ried and single men $4,000 unmar-
ried and 112,431 married men enlisted
Immediately. Eight hundred and forty
thousand single men, and 1,344,979
married men were attested for future
service.
OF the single men, 100000 were re-
jected while 221,S53 married men were
not accepted by the recruiting officers.
Following the announcement Of the
recruiting figures, the cabinet met
and put finishing touches on the gov
ernments CONSUMPTION bill.
1t again becomes evident that the
cabinet crisis is far from ended. The
only definite. point is that Sir John ST.
mon, secretary Of. state, for home az
fairs, has resigned. He had pro-
longed interview with Premier Asquirh
Monday. The premier did his utmost
q induce Sir John to remain in tho
cabinet. but without avail, and it IL
almost certain that the home secre-
tary's resignation will be officially an
nounced on the reassembling of parlia-
ment.
The position of Reginald McKenna,
chancellor of the exchequer, and Wal
ter Runciman, president of the board
of trade, is still undecided. They are
making the acceptance of the govern
ment compulsion bill conditional upon
securing a concession to their views
on the eventual size of the army. d

Sell Rich Cream.

The 10000 Missouri farmers
who will be selling cream during
the next few weeks should use
just as little skim-milk in it as
possible % if bought on the
butter-fat basis, he gets nothing
for the skim-milk, (2) it takes
less ice to cool it and less work
to haul and handle it, it costs
less to ship it, and (3) the skim
milk in thin cream sours and
forms Jumps of curd.
Creamery men advise the farm
er to sell only rich cream be-
cause it is an advantage to all
parties concerned. Every bit Of
skim-milk is needed on the farm
as feed for calves, chickens, and
pigs, and it does harm instead of
good if sent to market in the
cream. Of course, if the cream
is sold by the pint or quart in
stead of on a butter-fat basis,
the story is somewhat different,
but however the grading system
is in operation, every bit Of
skim-milk marketed is worse
than wasted so far as both the
buyer and seller are concerned.

Care of Cured Meat.

Do not sprinkle meat with
borax to keep off the shippers,
but wrap it thoroly and hang in
an airy place where the mice can
not get at it. The best method
of wrapping meat for keeping
over summer is to enclose first
in a cloth flour sack and then in
a paper flour sack; tie the ends
of the sack tight enough so that
flies can not get in around the
string.
Pieces of meat should not
touch each other or they will
mold considerably. In damp,
muggy weather cured meat will
mold in spite of all you can do.
The mold, however, is only on
the surface and can easily be re-
moved. Do not hang the meat
in a damp basement or the mold
be excessive. Do not try to hold
the shoulders until fall, as the
mold penetrates into the fatty
tissue of the shoulder and there
is considerable waste in remov-
ing this moldy part. The ham
muscle is more compact and the
loss in removing the moldy part
is very small.
If the smoke house is dark and
fy-tight the meat can be kept
thru the summer without wrap

Hazing and chi-chi-ing in all

STANDARD OIL ADMITS
LACK OF COMPETITION
But Fails to Explain Soaring Of
Gasoline Prices.

Washington, June 13.-The Federal
Trade Commission concluded to-day its
investigation Of the rise OF casolene
prices. after representatives Of the
Standard Oil and several independent
companies had given divergent explana-
tions of the present situation in the
industry. A report will be made public
soon and will be sent to Congress.
Independent jobbers and refners
were virtually unanimous in placing re-
sponsibility for increased prices on the
Standard Oil companies, which, they
charged, had refused to compete and
had fixed prices. Standard Oil repre-
sentatives replied to the charges, but
did not explain the elements behind
the soaring cost of gasolene to con-
sumers.
Decentralization in the industry
throughout the Middle West, independ-
ent jobbers declared, had resulted from
the failure of the Standard Oil Com
pany of Indiana to compete with the
Standard Oil Company Of Ohio, which,
by maintaining a retail price several
cents higher than that fixed in the West
DN Lne lnulhud company dhtiaNtth lht
crude oil from the Texas and Oklahoma
independent refners. Western deal
ers, who said they were forced to sell
at the low figures set by the Indiana
company, charged that they were being
put out Of business by inability to get
oil.
John G. Milburn, counsel for the
Standard Oil Company Of New Jersey,
and r. ". Stewart, q director of the
Indiana corporation, declared the In
diana and Ohio concerns were not In
Auenced by common directorate, but
said It would be bad business Judgment
for them to compete.
at would cost 100000 to establish
filing stations and selling agencies In
Ohio,b Mr.. Stewart said. THE Ohio
company. which now enjoys a few cents
advantage, would Immediately reduce
its price, and the Indiana concern would
have no advantage in selling and no
way to recover the money spent IN sales
