With a view to ascertaining the es-
sential facts and conditions pertaining
to the marketing OF live stock, de-
termining the feasibility Of improving
marketing methods and facilities. and
promoting a better understanding
among the various interests connected
with the industry, the Secretary OF
Agriculture, some time ago directed
that the Office Of Markets and Rural
Organization. OF which DR.. Charles ].
Brand is Chief, to conduct a confer
ence with the representatives of the
interests concerned. This conference
was held In Chicago last winter.

fruit 1t gave the Department of Agri-
culture a clear view OF conditions as
they actually exist, and since then II
has been al work formulating plans
for the relief Of the situation. To
further these plans the last Congress
voted the Office of Markets and Rural
Organization sixty-five thousand dol
lars. This appropriation read:
ITO enable the Secretary OF Agricul-
ture to gather from stockmen. live

that this system is peculiar to the
United States, no other country having
developed such markets for their live
stock.
The chief outlet for food-producing
animals in this country is wholesale
sIaughtering and meat-packing. Such
industries are associated with the
great centralized markets. More than
1900 Strengthening and meat-packing
establishments were operated in the
United States in 1915, and they turned
out products worth S1.654.76s,424.
Municipaily-owned and controlled
abattoirs are becoming important in the
local marketing of livestock. and the
Government report shows that they
are rapidly displacing the old type of
slaughter house. Public abattoirs
have been established in twenty-five
cities in thirteen States. The Depart
msnt of Agriculture advises that local
conditions should determine whether
or not city should build its own abat-
toir, and advises a thorough examina-
ton OF conditions before definite ac-
ton is taken
The Department of Agriculture has
been sending the market quotations
upon fruits and vegetables through
out the entire country for year, and
over. through daily telegraphic serv-
ice which has extended to all mar
ketable crops. This has proven of so
great financial benent to the farmer
that he has asked for its continuance
This service has proven so beneficial
to producers OF fruits and vegetables
that the Department has preparations
under way for its extension to the live
stock market. To this end II inau-
gurated on December 1. 1915, the is
suance OF a monthly report of seven
different kinds OF meats in cold stor-
age. These comprise three reports on
beef. three on pork and one on lamb
and mutton.

THIS BILL
WOULD HIT
LAKE CD.
(By United Press.)

INDIANAPOLIS. IND. Jan. 12.-The
Dry declarations prohibition bill was
introduced in the senate today by SEN
ator Thomas DorrelI of Greenwood.
The bill was scheduled to come up on
Thursday but DorrelI decided upon
some last minute changes
Both senator's and representatives
from Lake county are known to he OPP
posed to both prohibition and suffrage
The first draft of the measure pro-
vided for the draft of commission
Of prohibition at a salary of $4,000 a
year and appropriated $4,000 for his
use in enforcing the law. but it was
decided at the last minute to eliminate
this. Dry workers feared that this
clause in itself might prove disastrous
to the measure.
As the bill was presented. it prohibits
the manufacture or sale of liquor in the
state after Jan. l, 1918. with the ex-
ception Of for medicinal and sacra-
mental purposes. specially stir re-
strictions are placed on druggists who
may sell liquor. They must procure a
permit from clerks of Circuit courts:
sell only on doctors prescription and
only make one sale on each prescrip-
tion.
No transportation company will be
allowed to transport liquor in the state
without a permit from the county audi
tor for each shipment. Liquor adver-
tisements would be barred from publ
cations and billboards.
Representative Dillworth OF LaPorte
county today refused to commit him
self on what stand he would take on
the measure. when asked regarding
the stand he would take on woman suf-
frage. Dillworth stated that he had not
made up his mind yet but was waiting
to hear from the folks back home"

idea that the fault lies entirely with
the packers and other big middle
men," This has not been proven. A
great many people think that munich
pal abattoirs are the solution. AS q
matter OF fact those which have been
established have not yet fully borne
out this conclusion.
Cost OF Production Increased.
That there is = decline in the pro-
duction of beef In this country was
who met at the Chicago conference,
and they pointed out that everyone
who is familiar with the subject kno WIS
that the cost OF producing a good
three-year-old steer suitable for the
feed lot is more than twice what 1T
was twenty years ago. One reason for
this is the fact that the great grazing
areas OF the past are now being rapid
ly settled, making conditions much
more complicated for those engaged in
stock raising. The same applies TO
the grain-ratsing sections.
The enormous increase in the cost
OF beef production in recent years Is
not appreciated at all by the man in
tho street With corn q hundred per
cent. higher than 1t was ten years
ago. beef cattle in order to be profit
able to the producer has had to ad
vance somewhat in the same proper
ton. During the past three years the
producers of beef have been going
through one of the most critical situa-
tons in the history OF their business
The system of centralized livestock
markets in the United States is the
largest single factor In the marketing
OF meat animals. IT is noteworthy

1t is said that some of the men are
regular dodgers and that there are
dodgers even in the day time. men who
work nights and must have some place
TO sleep during the day.
Notwithstanding the opening of re-
cent hotels and rooming houses. there
is still great dearth of accommoda-
