MEAT UP TO STAY;
j. S. NOT TO ACT
Photo. by American Press Association. +,

There will be no arbitrary price
limit to the American farmer or stock
raiser for his hogs, steers or sheep.
There will be licensing of packers, and
supervision of middlemen's profits, but
the price of livestock is to be left alb
solutely to supply and demand.
Which means, in the opinion of
government experts. that 20 cent ham
and rs cent porterhouse steaks have
gone, probably never to return.
For the worlds big meat problem
today is not price, but production. For
the remainder of the war, and probab-
ly for years thereafter, the big fight
will be the production of sufficient
meat at any price.
Figures show the worlds supply OF
meat producing live stock has decreas-
ed ll5. .005. 900 from pre- war numbers.
There are 28.080, 900 fewer cattle.
SO, 425. 900 fewer hogs and 54. 400. 600
fewer sheep, Hogs and cattle have
increased slightly in the United States.
but the unprecedented export has more
than offset this.
Our average meat shipments for
three years preceding the war totaled
4y3, S48, 600 pounds annually. In the
year ending June 30, 1915, our meat
exports 1,51s, $4,000 pounds-more
than treble our normal exports-and
the year ending June 80, 1917. far
exceeding this, exports of pork alone
totaling 1,441, 1O5, 900 pounds
The two things that can relieve the
meat situation are:
The reduction Of domestic consump-
tion. by substitution of fish and poul-
try and vegetable dishes; increased
production of livestock for meat pur-
| poses.
The official opinion, however, is that
any attempt to fix livestock prices at
the farm would kill all chances of in
creased herds.
The farmer and stockman must fee
he has free market.
So far as possible the consum er will
be protected by the elimination Of spe
culative profits, of excessive middle
mems charges, and by better distribu
tion.
While urging increasing our mea
supply the government at the SAINT
time must check the sale of matur'
animals fit for breeding.
Because of high prices, many farm
have been stripped of breeding hog
and cattle.
AS result our volume of dair,
produce has fallen off sharply while q
the same time we must ship increasin
amounts of butterfat. cheese and cor
densed milk to our allies, forced t
sacrifice their dairy herds.
Even in the hog raising sections Q
the Middle West it has been found in
possible to get sufficient hogs to COZ
sumo the garbage of the various arm
cantonments. x
The public's hope, then, of any al
preciable or early reduction in II
prices Of meat. is vain. Meats al
high and will continue high.

REG|STRAT|0NCARDS
ST|LLAT LIBRARY

So far, the women of Athena have
failed to register, as asked by the
Council of National Defense. and this
failure is doubtless entirely due to a
misunderstanding as to the aims and
objects of the registration. Wednes-
day and Saturday afternoons few
signed the cards, but the number was
so small that we hesitate to make it
public. However, the chairman Of the
local committee. Mrs. Errett, has re-
ceived a letter from the State Chair
man. Mrs. Charles H. Castner of Hood
River, which will undoubtedly clear up
all doubts concerning any undue obli-
cations which might be asked Of wo-
men. We give it publicity below, call
ing special notice to the third and
fourth statements, as many seem to
think that in registering they take up
on themselves an obligation to serve,
whether willing or not, and would be
liable to be sent away from home.
The letter follows:
aOOu River, oepC. 20 ,l5l1.
''My Dear Madam Chairman:
This is to thank you, the members of
your committee, the registrars and the
loyal women who signed the registra-
tion cards, for your help in making
this work success.
If, for any reason, you have unsigned
cards on hand. will you please make
arrangements to have them kept in
some convenient place where they may
be signed? would suggest the libra
ry, rest room, if there is some one in
charge, or the post Office. Through
your newspapers, urge every woman to
sign card, making plain these points:
/. The registration is purely volun-
tary and in no way compulsory.
.. The purpose is to secure an official
record of the woman power of the
country, so that. in case of emergency,
the Government MAJ know where to
turn for needed service.
3. Even though woman offers her
services when she registers, she will
not be required to give that service if
her circumstances have changed when
she is called upon to serve and asked
to fulfill her promise.
A. The registration is not designed
| to take women from their homes at any
time unless they are willing to serve
away from home.
| Your committee was organized tt
assist in your city upon any call mad'
by the State Council of Defense
County leagues are now being formed
and you will be asked to join in {

Sincerely yours.

WOE TO RUSHv|lLE
FOR lYBOULT'S FIVE
PLANS COME BACK

Satisfied over the showing OF his
team at Dayton Friday night. Coach
Lyboult of the r. H. S. squad had little
criticism to spill this evening when
the squad met in the first workout in
preparation for the Rushville game at
the Coliseum Friday night.
The team was the victim OF the
breaks at Dayton Friday and this with
the fact that r. H. S. was up against
one of the best teams In the state or
Ohio is sufficient explanation for the
defeat of the Richmond charges.
The team emerged from the Stivers
game in good physical condition and
with a weeks training will be IN a
position to run up fifty points on the
representatives from the Rush county
seat of learning.
