Walter Tragesser, the Braves catcher

the grounds that he has a mother and
sister dependent upon him.
Mondays contest between Boston and
st. Louis, which st. Louis won by the
tally of Z to 6. was certainly a wierd
affair. Thirty one players got into the
batting order in one way or another, II
Braves and IA Cards being the batting
list. Hits were frequent, St Louis hav-
ing IA and Boston II to their credit.
II was not the fault of Smith that the
Braves lost Mondays encounter with st,
Louis, as the star third baseman had a
double and two singles out of three times
at bat to his credit
Several records were set up in Mon
days engagement between Boston and
Chicago. The crowd of $4,000 which
watched the two games set the record for
a Monday game. Both encounters were
played with errorless ball As a result,
Boston is now one and one-half games
behind Chicago.

REAL DANGER
OF MEAT FAMINE
Unless the Farmers Find 1t
More Profitable to
Feed Stock

Chicago, Aug, 22-Pork chops soon will
be 90 cents a pound retail. Ham anC
bacon will be even higher. Meat gener
ally is going up. Herbert Hoover's feal
of world meat famine is not overesti
mated
These were the conclusions drawn yes
terday by Robert Miller, president of the
Chicago Retail Grocers' association, from
Hoover's report on meat conditions.
Danger of a meat famine has beer
known to Chicago retail meat dealers
for some time.
There is but one remedy" Miller
continued Uncle Sam must devise
some regulation that will make it more
profitable for the farmer TO feed his
grain TO cattle than TO sell it. As
long as the farmer can get 81 for corn
on quick sale he is not going to feed
it to cattle and wait for the same profit.
"Shrinkage in the supply of cornfed
cattle and good beef become more alarm
ing daily"
The rapid rise in wholesale hog prices
is boosting the retail price OF pork por-
portionately, retailers said Pork loin
that sold for 80 cents Saturday yester-
day was 351s cents. A 50-cent advance
in hogs on the hoof over last week
prices was held to be responsible for
this.
The wholesale price of hogs Aug
was SO higher than a year ago and
twice as high as on Aug. /, 1917. Hogs
were selling yesterday nearly 81 higher
than on Aug. l this year, selling close
to $50 hundred pounds.
Bacon that retailed for 80 and 35 cents
last week yesterday was 80 to 40 cents
a pound. Ham was selling at As cents
yesterday on corresponding rise.

LaFollette Wants the Rich
Taxed to Pay for
the War
SETS WAR COST
AT FORTY BILLIONS
Says Excess Profits and Big
Incomes Should Bear
the Burdens

Washington, Aug. Ex-senator Ii
Toilette of Wisconsin spoke severa
hours in the Senate yesterday in support
of his demand that the wealthy classes
of the country be made to bear larger
share of the wars burdens.
Leaders i'm the Senate are being made
rather nervous by the growing fight in
favor of higher levies on excess profit:
and private incomes, and fears were ex
surgent elements on both sides of the
Senate might become strong enough tc
compel complete revision of the rev.
enue measure.
Condemning the policy of paying a
large proportion of the wars expendi.
lures out of bond issues, Senator La Fol.
lette shouted: Morgan came to town.
The press urged the administration rec
commended and Congress authorized the
issuance of five billions of dollars of non
taxable government bonds and two bill
lions in interest bearing treasury notes.
Contending that bulk of the expenses
could well be taken out of the excess
profits of corporations and the incomes
of private individuals, Senator La Fol-
lette read into the record list of mil
lionaires, headed by John ID. Rockefeller
and Andrew Carnegie, whose incomes, he
charged, are in excess of 100000 a
year.
The Wisconsin senator, whose boom as
the pacifists' and pro-German candidate
for president is to be launched at the
peace" convention to be held at Min
neapolis next month, referred briefly TO
his ideas on peace.
After picturing the cataclysm of de
struction through which the world is
passing, with thrones tottering and gov
ernments clamoring for war while the
people pleaded for peace" he added
when our own government is raising
by draft million men taken from civil
life, eigbty-five out of every hundred
of whom are protesting against being
forced into the army, / admit, senators,
that this is no time to adopt weak,
hating and unjusticeable policy for the
conduct of the war"
