Prosecutor Montgomery in
Strong Plea for Ackermann

Before an enthusiastic meeting OF
men and women at the Laurel
school Thursday evening. Chester r
Montgomery prosecuting attorney
OF St. Joseph county, made "A strong
plea for the election OF Rudolph
Ackermann 10 the Office Of mayor.
Mr. Montgomery ridiculed the eva
sive campaign statements OF Or.
Carson. the republican mayoraIty
candidate. and declared his distrust
OF any candidate for public office
who is supported by Col. Joe SulH-
van
As prosecutor Of st. Joseph coun-
Is 1 have reason TO know Col. Joe
Sullivan and others Of his ilk who
are supporting doc" Carson in this
campaign" stated Mr.. Montgomery.
And I have no hesitancy in declar-
ing that Joe Sullivan is one OF the
worst Influences that any city can
have"
Mr.. Montgomery paid high tribute
20 the character and qualifications
Of Rudolph Alderman. declaring
that Mr.. Ackermann is entitled TO
the support Of every man AID
woman who has the Welfare Of South
Bend at heart.
Mr. Ackermann addressed the
meeting in his own behalf. making
a brief statement Of the principles
of good government for which he
stood and pledging himself to carry
ing out Of the track elevation laws

guarantees a minimum price Of 81
per bushel.
If war continues. this wheat will
be vitality necessary" Mr.. Hoover
said. but II the war should come to
an end there will be no foreign
market for at least 4OO.OOO,OOO
bushels The government must then
take over the wheat and probably
find a market for it at a very great
loss. I should anticipate that the
government may lose from $780,
600, 900 to $5OO,OOO,OOO on this
wheat guaranty if peace arrives be-
fore the 1913 harvest is marketed"
Fixed Guarantee Insurance.
Mr.. Hoover expressed the opinion
that the fixed guarantee was un-
necessary and that a reasonable
profit guaranteed TO the farmer
would have been sufficient 10 slim
ulate production.
However, the guaranty has been
fixed" he added. 1T is an insur-
ance against the submarine and any
estimate OF what it may cost we
must leave 70 the future"
Turning 10 the meat situation,
the administrator said pork prod
ucts were more vitality needed by
the allies than beef
I'm the matter of beef" he said,
the allies can support themselves
without any consequential eXpan-
sion Of imports from the United
States"
In view Of the European situa-
ton and the American shortage in
hogs he pointed out that there
would be a high average price for
pork products, and therefore il
would be the vital advantage OF
every farmer TO raise hogs, adding
we need a keep-a-pig movement
in this country"
by preventing undue increases in
forage prices. Mr.. Hoover promised
that the food administration would
cooperate in measures TO stimulate
livestock production. He also said
further production of sheep, both
for meat and particularly for WOOL.

needed.
"Our American farmers" he
added would be wise 10 realize
that for a considerable period after
the war there will be a very poor
export market for American bread
grains. whereas there will be a wide
general demand for animal pro-
ducts"

SALARY CHANGES
ARE NECESSARY
Pay Checks Too Large Says
President John X. Tener;
Owners Have Rights

New York, Jan. 30.-President John
X. Tener, of the National League, in a
statement in reply to complaints of
National League players that their sala-
ries had been cut. declared salary ad-
Justment was absolutely necessary.
The game must be put on such a
basis where the men who have money
In the clubs can expect a reasonable
profit on their investment he said.
THE best proof that salaries are too
high is that despite the fact that we
had record attendance, few clubs
made money. The same condition, L
am told. existed in the American Lea
que, which had its record attendance.
Club Owner Has Rights
''If the clubs cannot make any profits
with record attendances, what can they
then do in lean years? And no one can
deny the right of the club owner. after
his big outlay of money for players and
stands, to expect his baseball property
to yield him fair income
The players should be more reason
able. Salaries were artificially inflated
during the existence of the Federal
League, and players by holding a strike
club over their heads. forced them to
pay salaries out of all proportion to
what their services were worth or what
the clubs could afford to pay"
Naturally. such contracts could not
be expected to be renewed at the war
time figures"

TECH TOSSERS TO
TRY COME BACK
Is Belief of Coach Shorty
Miller; Varsity Team Pre-
pare For Central Game

With nine of its eighteen basketball
contests already played, the Tech high
school squad this week enters upon the
second half of it's games. OF the nine
played four have been victories, while
five have resulted as reverses
Now that the first and second teams
have been selected. the remaining nine
games will see the strongest varsity
lineup possible. Friday night Tech
will go to York for the return contest
with the White Rose players Last
week Central won at York by three
points.
1t is the general belief that the Tech
players lead by Captain Harris are play
ing the best game put up by the Maroon
for several years. While Tech is anX-
ious to make good showing in the
Central Pennsylvania League, it will
bend every effort to win the city cham
pionship. The Maroon lads will strive
to be in the pink of condition for the
first game with Central that will be
played on the Chestnut street floor
March 16. Two weeks after that date,
the final contest between the two
schools will be staged at the Armory.

that did come, but enough to give
many shelter. Many of the houses
were simply converted tin cans.
Others were elaborately made, the
work of entire holidays. From home
every child brought grain of some
sort and daily at the same hour this
was scattered.
The first winter no birds came, but
the robins stayed. Formerly they hur-
ried South for easy food. The next
year tribes of them from further
north stopped at the school grain
lines. Now the county really is Robin
Land. In and around Frostburg, Lo-
naconing, Cumberland and Western
port, as well as in the country, the
redbreasts hop about all through
January.
At one of the remoter schools a
flock of pheasants appeared the first
winter. Now hundreds of these birds,
quite tame, when children feed them,
but alarmed at older persons, visit the
feeding grounds. Wrens once plenti-
full in the district, but growing scarce
in recent years, have returned to stay
all seasons. Partridges, less numer-
orsly, and redbirds and bluebirds in
great numbers, come each winter.
Quite recently martens in profusion
have discovered the. birds paradise
and school clubs are busy building COL
onyhouses with snug compartments
for these latest charges. \
Before many of the schools stand
large posts, teachers height. On these
are nailed great chunks of suet,
brought on turns by different chill
dren. Throughout the day birds peck
at the suet gratefully, flirt their heads
and fly away. Whenever colder
weather threatens the suet is pecked
the more, the birds quite wisely stow
ing warmth inside them for the SHOWS
to come.
Some of the children's fathers OBJ
jected to supplying grain until it was
discovered that potato bugs were dis
appearing. A little watching demon
strated that quails, brought hungrily
to Allegheny in the winter, made sur
reptitious summer morsels of the bugs
in patches not too close to a house
or barn. Now the same obiectors
gladly give all the grain the school
clubs ask.
Feeding the birds has brought ioy
to more child hearts than we bigger
folk can ever guess" Edwards said
when he dropped his superintendent's
duties. It's an even guess as to
which are more alert and glad, the
children or the birds.'

The case of West Washington Mar
ket affords striking instance of the
necessity of arouSing nationwide at
tention not only to the subject of dis
eased meat but also to the manner in
which any interest, when aroused in
isolated cases, is quickly suppressed.
West Washington Market, New York
city, is. in many respects, symbolic of
the diseased meat idustry of the entire
United States.
It's history for the past four years
reveals SO much that has application
for all the cities. towns and rural COM
munities of the United States that it
should be studied for its hints of what
is going on in secret and its voluntary
efforts to protect itself from the evils
we are discussing.
Following my first public charges
that city, state and federal officials
were protecting the wholesale receiv-
ers of carcasses of diseased animals
city issued numerous statements de-
signed to create the impression that
the municipal, state and federal au-
thorities were cooperating with each
other in the matter of protecting the
people from unwholesome meat and
that there was no need for hysteria or
anxiety.
L met these statements by focusing
all my attention upon West Washing
ton Market, which, in size, is a little
town in itself
With a score of witnesses / invaded
its refrigerating plants. ice boxes and
coolers. | probed it's pockets of cor
ruption and held fast to the evidence
which, under the very eyes of the
officials, was so easy to obtain.
Nest after nest of rottenness was
torn to pieces with such regularity
that the corporation counsel of the
city of New York was finally forced to
act.
Then came one arrest upon another.
In quick succession my unofficial ac-
tivities were followed by a score of
convictions.
A single newspaper, publishing the
details of the horrors exposed on the
witness stand, emphasized the hideous
nature of the secret traffic conducted
in that institution of wholesale crime,
the scene of murder by pistol shot and
poisoned meat, to such an alarming
degree that through its very violence
the mayor of New York, John Purroy
Mitchell, was forced to appoint a new
health commissioner.
The wholesalers, realizing that they
