REDUCE COST OF
MEAT FOR TABLE
Beef Clubs and Cooperative
Butcher Shops Gaining Fa-
vor With u. S. Farmer.
FIFTH QUARTER TO BUTCHER
Operations Start in Spring When
First Member on List Furnishes
Beef for kiIIing-SurpIus
Meat Sold to Trade.

Beef clubs or rings and cooperative
butcher shops are two Of the plans
feing used by American farmers to re-
duce the cost of meat for their tables.
The cooperative butcher shop Is re-
garded as Il Outgrowth of the beef
clubs, which in varying forms have
been in operation for many years.
Typical examples of the beef clubs
have been reported to the United
States department of agriculture from
the coastal plain Of South Carolina.
Many of the clubs have a membership
Of eight farmers, but most Of them
have 10. Operations of the club start
in the spring, when the first member
on the list furnishes q beef for killing.
The Strengthening Is done by a man
hired for the purpose and who usually
receives the fifth quarter" such as
the hide. heart and liver. as his pay.
The beef is divided into as many
parts as there are members Of the
club.
The next week n second member fur
nishes the beef, and so on for eight or
sixteen weeks. the various portions Of
meat being rotated among the mem
bers. so that each gets a proportion
etc share of the choice cuts and of the
poOrer cuts.
The beef is weighed after the ami
nal is dressed and thus the pounds
furnished by each member are known.
A. fhA opl Of thn Soo.,, enttl,n,o,t
is made by any members who have
not furnished their full shares.
How Plan Developed.
In an Iowa farming community oh
lection was found to these beef rings
because each household had to con-
sumo n stated amount Of beef on stated
days during the week I'm order that the
available supply would be disposed of
economically. This tended to make
the beef diet monotono,iS and ulti-
nlately led to the amalgamatiOn of the
rings into a cooperative butcher
shop.
Each member owns one share of
in the project and in his turn

many sheep Or hogs as are desired for
slaughter. The members are credited
with the dressed weight Of the live
stock provided minus a shrinkagc of
IL per cent. They receive coupon
books equivalent in value to the
amount of meat furnished, allotments
! cling apportioned equal I'm steaks,
ioasts and boiling pieces.
Each member is privileged 70 pur-
rhase as much or as little meat as he I
and at any time he Il 'cash

prices. Surplus meat is sold
to the local trade at from Ave to seven
tents lower per pound than the retail
utchers charge for similar cuts in
grades of meat. it Is reported.
Good Meat Required.

Every Fixture Should Have 4 Trap.
As to the plumbing. perhaps you
have noticed under a sink a piece Of
pipe bent to resemble the letter IS"
laid on Its side. This il what Is
known as a trap" Every fixture. and
by that II meant the sink. the wash
trays, the bath tub. water closet and
lavatory, should have a trap placed di.
rectly below the outlet Of the fixture.
This is demanded by all the laws Of
health and by practically every city
as a plumbing ordinance. The reason
for this trap Is that all Of the waste
matter from the fixtures passes
through this trap on the way to the
sewer. and In the bottom Of the trap
there 10 always a small quantity Of
water which absorbs the gases and
Odors which come from the pipes and
sewers and prevents these gases and
odors from coming back into the
rooms. which would cause headaches.
sickness and other ills. So. primarily.
the first importance Of good plumbing
requires that every fixture shall be
trapped.
Traps are usually vented, that is,
the crown or top Of a trap 10 connect
ID to a small pipe, which uni to the
outside air. This 10 done so that when
ever a large quantity Of water or
waste matter Is discharged through a
trap, or II another fixture nearby Is
suddenly emptied, the suction caused
In the pipes by the sudden rush Of wa |
ter prevents the trap from siphoning
or running dry. in which case there
would be no prevention from the gases
passing back from another trap into
the house. However, there are traps
which can be purchased which do not
require the extra expense Of back-vent-
ing with an air line. These traps are
called non-Aphon or anti-siphon trans.

COOLING MEAT TO KEEP

Slaughtered animals must be
cooled soon after they are killed
and vet they must not he allow
ed to freeze. In the winter q
day for Strengthening should be
chosen when there Is a prospect
of cooling the carcass before
the surface freezes The most
desirable temperature for cool
ing meat is "a to 40 degrees Fab
renheit, and m approach to
these temperatures will give
good results.
In summer 1t Is best to dress
the animal in the evening, leav-
ing the carcass In the open air
at night and carrying it to Il
cool, dark cellar before the flies
nre out in the morning. There
should be no fresh paint, tar.

PRESIDENTS LETTER TO CARPENTERS HTS
 SQUARELY AT POINT
Calls Attention to the Con- trast Between Carpenters Union and Other Trades in Patriotic Service

Copies of the letter sent by Presi dent Wilson to William l.. Hutcheson general president of the United Broth erhood of Carpenters and Joiners calling on that official and his men 10 return to their work in the govern ment shipyards, and calling to theil attention the differences between the attitude of the carpenters and other organizd labor, have been received in Bisbee. The letter goes straight to the point and deals with the matter clearly and concisely. It follows:
 William L. Hutcheson. General President. United Brotherhood Of Car penters and Joiners of America. New York:
 'T have received your telegram Of yesterday and am very glad to note the expression of your desire as a pat riotic citizen to assist in carrying on the work by which we are trying to save America and men everywherC who work and are free Taking ad- vantage of that assurance, I feel it to be my duty to call your attention to the fact that the strike of the carpen- ters in the shipyards is in marked and painful contrast to the action ol labor in other trades and places. Ships are absolutely necessary for the win ming of this war No one can strike a deadlier blow at the safety of the nation and of its forces on the other side than by interfering with or ob- structing the shipbuilding program.
 "All other unions engaged in this indispensable work have agreed to abide by the decisions of the ship. building wage adjustment board. That board has dealt fairly and literally with all who resorted to it I must say to you very frankly that it is, my duty to leave to it the solution of your present difficulties with your employers and to advise the men whom you represent to return at once to work pending the decision. No body 0f men have the moral right in the present circumstances of the na- tion to strike until every method of adjustment has been tried to the limit. If you do not act upon this principle you are undoubtedly giving aid anG comfort to the enemy. whatever may be your conscious purpose.
 'I do not see that anything will be gained by seeing you personally until youshave accepted and acted upon that principle It is the duty of the gov ernment to see that the best possible conditions of labor are maintained. as it is also its duty to see to it that there is no lawless and conscienceless and that duty the gov ernment has accepted and will per form. Will you cooperate or will you obstruct?

Association Has Enrolled Books Almost Many Mem bers All Other Organizations in State Had One Year Ago. A. Richardson, General Secretary, Has Secured Results in Three Years

Bisbee has the largest |. M. C. A. membership association in Arizoha and furthermore has almost as many members now as all other Is in the state had one year ago. This Is a record which reflects much credit on the Warren district and the type Of citizens which comprise the com munity. and it is something of which A B. Richardson. general secretary, and those associated with him n building up the local Y. the proud.
 Three years ago the Bisbee 1s- sOcia-ion had 430 members. Then something happened. MT. Richardson came here from Pine Bluff. Ark, fulI of pep. push and ambition, and the result was that within 90 days this WideaWake hustler had increased the membership to 1900. On February this year the enrolment was 1717.
 EnvisbIe Record.
 Truly this is an enviable record and much of the credit belongs tol NIT. Richardson for he has not on!y worked like a trojan himself but hei has surrounded himself with corps of able Y workers who are all of tael same type as their lsadeT-result get ters- Every man is a good mixer, onel who makes friends for the association. who gives strangers to the ' the glad hand, make him feel at home an1 help him to forget his loneliness when he first lands in Bisbee after leaving the old home town and family and friends.
 Not only has MT. Richardson gotten results here but he has been an or ganizer who went over the top ani made a record in the other cities where he has engaged in Y work At Pocatello. Iowa, the association had a membership of less than 5VJ when Mir. Richardson went there, while during the seven years he re- mained the enrolment was always above I5O0- At Pine Bluff there were just s2 members when he took charge and he boosted the list to 1900 and kept it over that notch for six years This is result getting with ven geance-

 pie Of Bisbee deserve much creoit for he says that one cannot plant seed cn a rock and expec; it to grow and that the people here are really the ones who have builded the Bis bee Y to the place of imminen e which it now holds in the state.
 If a man does not want to belong to the association and has his mipd firmly made up on the subject you cannot force him to join It is lar:ss- ly because there is an unusually large percentage of well educated, Clean minded young men in the Warren dis trict that the association has shown such remarkable growth in the past three years
 Mary Need Association.
 Too there are an unusually large of young men here who need the benefits which the association isl so glad to give to its members. Be cause we have such large member ship. one of the largest in the conn- try for the population, we have been able to offer a free lyceum course, something which I have never heard of any other association doing. while Our educational courses and the min ing course in particular cannot be beaten Proof that there is demand for these and that their worth is realized is shown by a glance at the number of memberships in educational work which now total over S25, a1 his is the first year that the Warren district association has attempted this work"
 Before there was a r. M. C. A. here . body of Bisbee men formed an ath- etic club where they could box, xrestle and secure other beneficial physical training and also where mokers could be held and amusement ,rovided for members of the club
 Twelve years ago the Y- M CA cok over the club quarters and since as been building up in membership nd in improvements. With a gitt oi 35 900 from the Copper Queen Con olidated Mining company the new uildings were possible
