produce men heart to boost prices.
1t was just what the food hogs de-
sired. The Republican papers want
ed high prices so they could yell The
market thieves wanted high prices to
make big profits. So they worked
together and everything jumped in
cost.
Meat and bread had started their
upward trend months before because
, the clearinghouse interests didn't
fear newspaper complaints Their
clearinghouse interests were strong
enough to prevent any campaign
against them. Bread went to 6 cents
and meat followed. PackingtOwn
owns the bakeriest I..
After election, however, things did
not come down. The egg, meat and
grain markets were short because
carloads by the thousands OF each
article had been shipped to Europe
by dollar patriots. Spectators were
grabbing everything on promise Of
higher prices to come when TEinter
nips the poor.
So prices are jumping daily. Re-
pubicans point to the Democratic
administration in Washington. The
answer Of the administration is the
federal quiz now started. They are
going to prove that food hogs are
boosting the already high cost of Iv-
ing. And they are going to soak
them hard.

PROMINENT FOOD HOGS MAY BE SOAKED IN
FEDERAL INVESTIGATION OF FOOD TRUST

FEDERAL lNVESIlGA
Federal investigation of the food
trust, which buys up eatables and
stores them in warehouses, until peo-
pie are starved into paying high
prices, began yesterday when books
taken in raids on two storage places
Saturday. were scanned by H. G. Cla-
baugh, chief of the local bureau Of
the department of justice. Some of
our most prominent food hogs may
be soaked.
Millions of dollars worth Of eggs,
poultry, meats, cheese and Vegeta-
bles are being held in these ware
houses for release when scarcity has
made prices high.
Both owners of the storage places
and the spectators who put their
money into eggs may feel the weight
of the U. S. courts, if the federal in
Vestigation shows what Clabaugh ex-
poets.
Recent hearings held by commit
tees of the city council brought
startling facts to light.
A Spectator with a little money
can buy up few thousand cases of
eggs. Then he can borrow almost
their entire value from the owner Of
the storage warehouse and reinVest
the money in eggs, providing he puts
the eggs in storage within that mans
warehouse. When the second batch
of eggs is stored the speculator can
borrow again on them and buy
once more.
For this loan he gives 6 per cent.
He also pays the warehouse man for
the use of his storage rooms. When
prices on eggs are high he slips his
cases into the market and makes
enough to pay interest, storage
charges and reap big profit for him
self. The people pay the price.
Real high prices came just before
election. Food spectators in the egg
markets and along South Water

for social service in the history of
America, one affecting every hamlet
in the land, has been instituted by the
National Lumber Manufacturers asso-
citation, in the proposal to build a home
for every rural school teacher in
America.
South Dakota will be one Of the first
states where the plan will be carried
into ecect, and a thorough invnstiga-
ton of the conditions in the state pre-.
coded the announcement of the social
service plans of the lumber manufac'
turers. The association has not as yet
formulated it's plans for pushing this
new department of public service by
actually assisting the schools Of the
nation to build homes for teachers, but
work OF this philanthropic enterprise
is already under way and the associa'
ton plans to have it's plans ready for
announcement in a few weeks.

geim took the first set and Ralph the
second, but Bergeim came back in the
third and cinched the championship
for State.
This is the first time hat State has
showed Up exceptionally well in tennis
tournaments, and to win over a player
like the Manchester man is no small
pion of every college in Minnesota and
was one of the fastest players ever
seer on the local court.

player, and in this. his fist official
match, he has shown up exceptionally
well. Before leaving college he will
undoubtedly be n Of the best tennis
