HIGH PRICE OF MEAT

That there is no chance of lower
prices for meats for perhaps years
to come, and that the farmers must
therefore give attention to more eco
nomical and efficient methods of stock
raising, was one of the most sensa-
tional phases of the farmers week
conferences at the University of Wis
consin.
"It is absolutely true that prices
for live stock today are higher than
they have ever been, that there is
less meat on the average animal,
which means higher prices for our
meat, and what is more important,
that there is no immediate chance
of any lower prices. At that the far
mer is not making money, and has no
growing interest in the raising of
stock for the packer, because the
cost of feeding cattle is absorbing all
of the higher prices that he gets for
his stock" This was the comment
recently of A. W. Hopkins, agricultural
editor of the University of Wisconsin
upon a live stock review issued for
the stock raisers at the conference by
Clay, Robinson e Co., Chicago stock
yards man. Mr.. Clay warned that if
prices are high now, they are to be
higher, his warning letter stating:
There is no doubt that we are kill
ing our beef faster than we are pro-
ducing it, and it surely can have but
one meaning, and that is continued
high, if not higher prices. Receipts
are not running as heavy as year
ago, and this can have but one mean
ing, that available supplies are de-
creasing, and "a shortage is develop
ing without doubt The average beef
animal today does not carry as much
actual meat as the average of a year
ago. Demand upon our supply from
abroad are of a continued liberality,
with no home diminution in consump-
tion. We have made further serious
inroads upon our beef supplies, and
are daily cutting down our potential
beef makers in the steady sacrifice
practically regardless of their condi-
ton"

Lawlessness of
Chicago Cabarets
Liquor Sold in Cabaret Saloons Does
Much Harm

Agitation against cabarets during
the past few weeks has revealed many
shocking details OF the crimes for
which the Chicago liquor traffic is re-
sponsible. The following are some of
the facts brought to light by the news
paper publicity directed against cab
arct saloons: Soldiers and sailors
have purchased liquor in cabarets;
wives of soldiers who are away at
camp have been arrested for drunken
ness in cabarets; 10 girls and young
women who disappeared within two
weeks, believed to be cabaret victims.
In a letter to the council license
committee reporting the results of po-
lice inspection of cabarets, the chief
declared that of 227 cabarets investi-
gated, 20S were found to be indulging
in serious violations of the law.

One Good Killino

Amid the slaughter of human lives
in this horrible war there is one kill

which in same small measure will
justify other losses, and that is the
killing of "John Barleycorn." It is
sad beyond speech that the world
must ray such an awful price tc get
rid of its worst enemy, but if the end
could be secured in no other way, it
is worth the price.-Uniyersalist

ans.
With the inspiration of the occasion
and the importance of the Prohibition
problem in connections with the war it
is to be expected that speeches unsur-
passed for eloquence and power will
be delivered.
Delegates From All Churches
Every individual church congrega-
ton, every Sunday School, young
peoples organization or temperance
societyis entitled to a delegate. After
the return al. .4the-, delegates from
Washington many societies and
churches will hold special meetings
to hear the thrilling reports OF the
convention. In many cases collec-
ton will be taken to dcfray the dele
gates expenses.
Special railroad rates will be Sc
cured for Illinois delegates. 4 great
delegation should attend from this
state. With national Prohibition by
constitutional amendment in prospect
the influence of Illinois must be
brought to bear at the National Con-
vention. No other state has more
gain from national Prohibition, and
it may be that no other state will have
a more important part in the final bat
tie for a dry nation.
In the next number OF The Issue
information concerning train service,
rates, hotel accommodations, etc, will
be published. Meanwhile, delegates
should advise the state superintend-
ent Of their selection. Churches and
other organizations which have not
yet appointed representatives to be at
the Washington convention should do
so at once.

SOUTHERN DISTRICT
SPECIAL NUMBER

The Southern District has
contributed much to the Anti
Saloon League movement in
Illinois. In the early years of
its history while the League
was struggling for existence,
loyal friends in the Southern
District kept the movement
alive until it gained the state
wide recognition. The history
of Prohibition in the Southern
District is told in this number
of The Issue by men who have
taken prominent part in the
fight. Three former district
superintendents have contrib
uted short summaries of prog
ress during their respective
terms. Sam T. Brush, without
whose loyalty and self-sacrifice
the work could not have been
carried on in the pioneer days
OF the Prohibition movement,
has written of the fight in Car
bondale. w. Q. Edwards of
Pinckneyville, and 2 member of
the Legislature, whose name is
withheld, have each contributed
interesting and timely articles
for this number. The present
wet and dry situation in the
District and the record of
Southern District members of
the Legislature, is told in spe-
cial articles by District Super
intendent E. E. Mclaughlin.
w. ]. Moore, field worker and
former District Superintendent,
has also made several interest
ing contributions.
