country - despite the food con-
Iservation campaign which in 1917
caused consumption to decline con-
,siderably.
while the people as a whole
through their abstinence averted
the immediate crisis, it was the
farmer who was the really big fac
tor in the ultimate situation,
says the bureau of animal indus
try, United States department OF
agriculture. THE producer, OF
course, was expected to do his
part, but he did it with such pow
edful effect that in a single year
the meat shortage was turned into
a pronounced surplus. Thus in
1918 there was not only meat
enough to supply all foreign de-
mands compatible with the re-
stricted shipping facilities, but a
greatly enlarged quantity was
available for the home consump-
ton.
"'To be sure, it cost the farmer
more, much more, to feed his ami
mails and get them to market;
producer to consumer become more
costly; hence the high prices. But
the unprecedented prosperity of
the people as a whole enabled
them to afford the increased cost.
In fact, laboring people probably

DRESSED MEAT PRODUCTION BROKEN

consumed more meat during the
past year than in pre-war times.
THE total number of cattle
slaughtered in 1918 is estimated
at 15,75o,000 as against 1878
900 in 1917. Their average
weights we're practically the same
for both years, and the beef pro-
duced from them was 6.686.0oo.-
900 pounds in 1917 and 1884,
o0o,0 900 pounds in 1918. This
was a remarkable achievement,
as it hardly would have been cred
tied that beef growers could in
crease their production a billion
pounds in one year.
1.-THE hog natures quickly,
therefore a much more rapid in
crease would be looked for than
was the Ease with cattle. Even
so, the results for 1918 can be
described only as stupendous. The
hogs marketed in 1918 numbered
60, S54,700 as against 57,4S3,So0
in 1917. Furthermore, the aver
age weight was 9h pounds more
per hog in 1918. Thus when the
animals are turned into pork and
lard we have a total production
of 11,225,664,0O0 pounds in 1918
as against S,47S,289,000 pounds
in 1917, an increase of 2,747,355,-
900 pounds, or 32.4 per cent,
nearly one-third."

WASHINGTON, ID. c.. May a.
American dressed meat produc-
ton, including lard. amounted in
1918 to 2o,129. soo,ooo pounds
a quantity never before approach
ed in magnitude by the live stock
industry of this or any other coun-
try. The corresponding figure for
1917 was 1s,317,ooo,ooo pounds.
Th~ree-fourths of this enormous
increase was in pork and one
fourth was in beef.
The meat surplus in 1918 was
so great that extra export de-
mands made little impression on
IL, although 1918 export ship
ments of meat and lard nearly
doubled the 1917 figures - ris-
ing from slightly less than one
and t~hree-fourths billion pounds
to slightly more than three billion
pounds - and these figures do
not include shipments to Ameri-
car military forces abroad.
The aggregate 1917 consump-

SUFFRAGE IS DEAD
HAWAIIAN ISSUE
UNTIL 1921

HONOLULU. T. H., May s.
Proponents of woman suffrage have
lost their fight at the present ses-
sion of the territorial legislature,
now drawing to a close. and the
issue is dead in Hawaii until the
1921 session unless ongress should
act in the interim. Woman stuff
rage planks were in the platforms
OF both parties in Hawaii when the
last elections we're held.
"A bill to grant women stuff
rage by direct action of the legis-
iature was introduced into the Ha-
Waiian senate and passed, but was
defeated by a narrow margin in the
house. A bill then was introduced
providing for a plebiscite on stuff
rage but it has been tabled.
j. Kuhio K~alanianaole, delegate
to congress from Hawaii, has signi-
fled his willingness to present a pc
titlon to congress at it's next SEES
sion, asking for equal suffrage in
the territory, and women who di-
rected the fight in the legislature
now have this plan under considera-
ton. They openly charge that the
defeat OF suffrage in the legisla-
ture was due to the efforts of a
cabal OF Honolulu politicians who
reared the political activity of
women.

THE "CHASTENED" GERMANY

This is the day set for Germany to learn what judgment
The civilized world, through its representatives in Paris, has
against her, and we may well be be prepared to
the characteristic German whine. But while we listen
o the whine we may also ponder over this:
One of the great export associations of Germany, known
by the typicaIly long name of General Union of Makers and
Exporters of Manufactured Commodities" is already circu-
ating in Argentina and other South American countries cir
letters addressed to its South American agents. This
letter says in part:
"You should be careful to call to the attention
of those of our former clients, no matter of what
nationality, who for one reason or another, might
hesitate to place orders with us and to resume ac-
customed good relations with us, that they may
nourish no hope of obtaining from any other source
the manufactured articles which our different
houses are equipped to produce and prepared to
supply in practically unlimited quantities the mo-
ment peace shall have been signed in accord with the
fourteen principles of President Wilson, which guar
antee us the freedom of the seas and an equal en-
joyment of the economic rights granted to all civil
lied peoples. SIS
aThe Systematically brutal and inhuman
methods with which the war was CARRIED on in
France and Belgium by the Anglo-French armies,
and especially by the English, have led to the total
destruction by shellfire destruction more than likely
desired and premeditated by the Englsh) of all
of all the factories, all the manufacturing centers,
stocks of raw materials, coal mines, means of COM
munication, rolling stock, ETC., in the whole broad
reach of the regions which served as the theater of
the war.
"Our military and civil services, moved by the
sight of such spectacles of systematic destruction
beyond their power to avoid, have felt obligated to
prevent them in so far as possible by means of trans
porting into German territory all of the machinery
standing in the country occupied by our valian,
armies. We have likewise been able to save from
destruction, thanks to the employment of the same
conservative methods, large stocks of raw materials,
of an inestimable value; these stocks remain at the
exclusive disposition of our merchants and manu-
facturers."
How like the Germans to try to blame the English for
the devastation of Belgium and northern France! How like
the crafty. Hun to pretend that French and Belgian factories
were stripped and ruined in order to save the machinery
destruction by the British! What typical German du-
plicity is revealed in the pretension that France and Belgium
robbed of raw materials in order to save these ma
terials from destruction!
This circular letter is one of q thousand indications
that the German people are as arrogant, as tricky and as
at present as they We're in 1914.

PHOENIX, Ariz., May {. For
ways that are dark and tricks that
are vain the 'bootlegging' man is
peculiar would be an apt para
phrase Of a we'll known poem on
the history of the illicit liquor trade
of Arizona since the state went dry
December IA, 1916.
The original "~bootlegger," say
those who profess to know, carried
the whiskey with which he did un-
lawful trading concealed in flat tin
TASKS in the legs of his boots, hence
the name. One of these gentlemen,
the first to come under the eyes of
the Officers for many months, was
captured in Phoenix recently, but
the up-to-date purveyor of liquor in
Arizona resorted to much more
elaborate tricks to import or manu-
facture and sell his wares.
The copper lined trunk with four
compartments shipped in from a
non-prohibition state by express
was a favorite up to a short while
back, when federal officers arrested
one man in San Jose, Cal, and an
other in Phoenix, who were making
a business of shipping these trunks
back and forth.
In Jerome, recently a large and
suspicious looking barrel arrived by
express, according to the story told
by the federal officials. 1t was

changed constantly to keep up with
the reports sent in from over the city.

there was complete figures from % of

incomplete precincts were counted up
until that hour. In other words, less

TRAINS HELD UP
Freight Wreck in North Topeka
Blocked Seven Trains.
Three Cars Crushed When
Draw Bar Breaks Air Line.

Seven or more trains on the Rock
Island and Union Pacific railroads
were tied up in Topeka this morning
on account of a wreck near the Santa
Fe-Union Pacific junction in North
Topeka. The wreck was caused by
the pulling out of a draw bar and the
breaking of the air line.
The broken air line caused the
brakes to set and the first three cars
in a long and heavily laden freight
train were crushed to kindling wood
The wreckage was cleared away late
this afternoon. No one was hurt in
the accident, the only damage being
to the three cars and the load of
freight on one of them.
Seventeen cars of heavy tile behind
the three cars furnished the momen-
tum for the crash
