1t is of no value to the farmer that
an American manufacturer can sell

thirty-eight dollars when he knows
that the man who carries that rife In

This would indicate that all classes
have combined to conduct our for

extravaganza, knowing that all ex-
cessive charges on the traffic, wheth-

COMMUNITY HOUSE LOWERS
COLLEGE EXPENSES.

Madison, Wis, Ten girl students
at the University OF Wisconsin have
found way to cut down the expense
of going through college by clubbing
together In a community house,
furnished by n senior womens honor
society. the Mortar Board, and there
doing their own homework. Their
meals are said to run about So a weel;
and room rent half that. Tde idea
Is working out so well that plans are
under way for its extension.
Through the generosity OF the Chi
cago alumnae members of Mortar
Board, the house was furnished Rent
heat included, costs $50 month. To
insure that the house be properly as
well as lastly furnished, Miss A. l..
Marlatt, head of the home economics
department, and Mrs. l.. K. Mat
thews. dean of women, were called
for advice. The furniture II Nor

ard the curtains and the hans'nE are
of white and rose tints. The total
cost was S625. 1t took keen planning
OF furnish the house so well on such
a small sum
All running expenses. such as rent,
gas. etc. are divided up among the
girls and this amount seldom exceeds
$3.50 a week for each person. This
sum is the individual room rent. The
food expenditures and the gas come
under the head of board and eaon
girl usually pays from 1885 to SO
a week, with an average OF So.
The young women work in shifts
two girls on duty each week. Each
girl is responsible for the care of her
room. Two of the girls have shown
such proficiency in cooking that they
prepare and serve all the dinners and
luncheons. in return for which they
receive their board free. All the girls
help with the dishwashlng One big
advantage of this plan OF living is
the teaching of practical homekeep-
ing.
Plans are now under way for sew
eral similar houses. The Blue ORA
gon." a society whose membership
includes all senior women, will leave,
as q class memorial, furniture for a
similar cottage, the money to be
raised by subscription from among
the members Of the organizati ton. The
society already has an option on the
cottage next door to the Mortar

Prices Lower Than In Years.
Notwithstanding these conditions,
we find the price OF good and medium
baef cattle on the hoof lower than
for several years: substantially be-
low well-estahlished peace prices,
substantially below the fair cost OF
production, considering the cost OF
the young cattle. which is the beef
producers raw material, The high
price of this raw material, so TO
speak. has been fixed under the OPP
Grafton of the law OF supply and de-
mand, resulting directly from well
recognized shortage In the supply OF
live cattle.
We see. too that the price OF live
cattle has advanced from three to
four dollars per hundred in the
markets Of Argentina during the same
time and under much less favorable
conditions that those under which
live cattle have declined from twenty
Ave to thirty per cent In the markets
Of the United States, So that the
price OF good cattle in Chicago and
New York has been reported by the
Breeders Gazette as being lower than
that of confessedly inferior cattle OF
Argentina
This situation in Argentina Is re-
ported to have resulted from the COM
petition OF English buyers with .Ameri-
can packers II so American packers
are paying more for Argentina cattle
than for American cattle to supply
European demands, and transporting
them double the distance and at pre-
stnnably double the expense. Fat
cattle were sold on the New York
market in November and Decem Der
which yielded the producer less for
one years keep than the packer got
for slaughtering and distribution.

Are not these facts sufficiently sug-
gestjve of artificial control of the cat
tie market OF the United States to be
worthy of consideration, and If not
do they not suggest either govern.

Is II not at least fair that II American

Mrs. Georgia May Jobson writes The

tory letter: .l-
''Mr. w. H. Adams, president OF the

honor in giving me all the credit or

ner Moore, Mrs. f. L. Mofftt and my
self waited upon Mr.. Adams and asked
him to present this matter to the Board
of Aldermen at their meeting, we rep
resented over ten thousand of the citi-
gems of this city.
THE City Attorney. Mr.. H. r. Pol
lard. drew the ordinance at the request
of the Social Service Federation of this
city. The resolution asking Mr.. Pollard
to do this was passed February IL
Mrs. f r. Moffitt, Mrs. Warner Moore,
with myself, were appointed as a COM
mittee 10 look after this part OF our
work This is not the first ordinance
that has been presented to the Alder
men or Council for the Social Service
Federation. This organization Is made
up of OF err forty-four different societies,
composed of our best men and women.
THE police do not censor the NOV
ing pictures-they have other matters
TO look after. We feel that DIR. Chand-
Ter is the logical person TO be the
chairman of this board, because Of his
association with children. No one need
fear that he Will neglect hts duties as
the superintendent of the public schools
OF this city; he Will have capable as
sistants, who viii do the work that he
cannot find time for under his direc-
ton.
