AID TO FOOD HOGS
The banking trust of Chicago was
named by Dist Atty Clyne as being
chiefly responsible for the manner in
which the people are being squeezed
by the food hogs. Incidentally, the
banking angle led to the part played
in the wave of high prices by the
packing kings.
Nelson N. Lampert, vice pres. of
the FIT. Dearborn National bank and
pal of the beef barons in the control
of the stockyards banks, has been
asked by Clyne to produce the books
of the Fl. Dearborn. 1t is rumored
that warehouse men have been
loaned money by the Lampert ring.
In explaining the game the bankers
played Clyne said:
1--WE have come to the conclusion
that the banks are the chief factors
in furnishing opportunities for the
food spectators to get in their work.
The banks lend the money to the
warehOusemen, who in turn lend it
to the spectators. By this system
they just skirt around the edge of
trouble. But we are closing in on
them and somebody between the
consumer and the producer is going
to get caught. We have different
statements from each group of men.
eve are now ready to make some
one prove who is right. Those who
are wrong will get pinched. They will
have to show their, books, and if
there has been duplicity practiced,
either going or. coming, there'u be
plenty of work for the grand jury"
Other evidence gathered by Clyne
tended to show that four Spectators
have coTneTed 100000 cases of eggs
and are holding them in cold storage.
The four are:

Two sets of books found to have

was for govt investigators. Other

wants secret set.
Food prices went up again slightly
today. Gamblers gave cold wave as
an excuse. Dist Atty Clyne, armed
with fresh evidence, said the federal
grand jury would take up food price
quiz again Monday.

MORE TROOPS ARE
NEEDED BY GERMANS

Bucharest. Nov. 4.-Following the
Ronmanians' successful re..s;ante on
their northwestern frontier, the Ger
mans yesterday attacked on the whole
Dobrudja line after several days lull
in General Won Mackensen's opera
tions.
On the right wing, resting on the
Danube, the Roumanians checked all
attacks. The Roumanians' left wing
first drove back the enemy. but later
we're compelled to yield ground
slightly.
The renewal Of the attack In Do
brudja. however. is believed here to
be only feint to conceal the shift
ing OF German troops to the Transyl-
vanian front. 1t is estimated that
the Germans must send five fresh
divisions into Pennsylvania and Rou-
mania to fill gaps made in their lines
in their last offensive and to add
enough strength to enable General
Won Falkenhayn to make further

Don't Let Horses
Suffer From Cold

Horses should be blanketed during
cold weather the moment they come
to a stand. The faster they have
gone and the harder they have
worked, the more important does
the blanket become, because the
horse is thoroughly heated, and
when perspirlng is more likely to
catch cold. Your blanket should be
of ample size, covering the animal
from neck to tail, and buckled snug
ly under the belly. A wet blanket
on horse in cold weather makes
sickness a certainty.-Our Dumb
Animals.
There have been many complaints
this winter that horses have been
left standing improperly protected
from the cold. It seems inconsist-
ent, but nevertheless it has been re-
ported to us as a fact, that the
most fragrant cases of horse ne
glect have been found in front of
different churches during services.
Last Sunday a Good Samaritan"
went about and replaced blankets
upon half dozen or more horses
that were suffering from exposure
while their masters were attending
services.
Chief of police Ramberg has been
instructed to take care of any hors-
es found suffering from exposure in
inclement weather. Many people
who leave their horses for any
length of time blanket them but do
it in a careless manner, with the re-
suit that the blankets are soon on
the ground. Make sure that the
horse will be comfortable before
you leave him.

Reflections On The
Life of Judge Weld
BY E. S. REED.

Mr.. Editor: read with apprecia-
ton the deserved tribute to the
memory of Judge Weld recently
published by you. The publication
encouraged a train of reflections ur-
on the personal traits and habits of
this man of marked ability and use
full public service.
/ had known Allen P. Weld for
forty-five years and during all this
time never knew an act of his that
was unworthy or deserving criticism,
nor have / ever heard any man ques-
ton his honesty of purpose or sug-
gest the imputation of blame in any
Of his private transactions.
From his youth up he was an
earnest and persevering student. He
was a great reader and he read for
information rather than from that
entertainment that provokes excit-
ment. Solid literature and scientific
dissertation was more pleasing to
his mind than fiction. He appropria-
ted the best thoughts of worthy
writer's and held them close in his
retentive memory. His wide read
ing and his persistent Investigations
made him learned, "full man."
And he was always ready to give,
modestly, such information as he
possessed but he never made osten-
tatious display of his knowledge.
Probably no other man in the coun-
ties Of Pierce or st. Croix could up
on call stand before an audience and
so readily and efficiently make a
commendable impromptu speech.
Many thought it remarkable that
