Won Bethmann-Hollweg, chancellor in
1914, that the declaration of war was
inevitable. Prince Won Buelow sket-

tells how he was able to avoid war
and admits that peace was desired
by Bethmann-Hollwag, who, he says,
however, lacked political art"

today before the senate agriculture
committee, where the bill is under
consideration.
"The main objection to the BILL" Mr..
Weld said, lis in the fact that it was
based upon reports of the federal
trade commission, which are saturated
with glaring inaccura cies and mis-
statements This would be serious
enough, but the matter does not rest
there, because the bill if passed will
further initiate the already high cost

packer profit on meat transactions
was about 2 cents on a dollar.
"The Kenyon bill must either inter
fere with the farmers end of meat
production, or with the packers part
Of the business if designed to affect
the high cost of living" he said. ''If
the farmer is hit. he will cut down
production. which will bring higher
stock prices. If the packer is hit and
his business crippled, the result will
be higher manufacturing costs and
this too will have to be passed on

ued. "They handle less than so PEI

keenest competition between all of
them.

700 commodities. Let me reveal to

he reached this figure. He mentioned
as separate items, butterine, oleo, and
oleo-margerine. All three are the
same. He took % cuts of beef, and
listed them as % items. He gave lis
items as a list of by-products of
cattle dressing. He mentioned 81
items of sausage.
"Mr. Colver made the flat sta tement
that the packers have not put any new

Uncle wiggily made a teeter-tauter
for Jackie and Peetie, the puppy dog
boys. Up and down they went, Jackie
first being high in the air. and next
low down to the ground. Then it
would be Peetie's turn to go up and
again he would come down.
Pretty soon Peetie got down OF
the board. Uncle wiggfly got on.
and up and down he went, having
a dandy time. He was see-sawing
away in fine style. when. all of a
sudden. the bad old Skuddlemagoon
crawled under the fence.
"Ah, ha. This is the time I've
caught you" he cried. as he made a
grab for Uncle Wiggily.
oh, no, Not just yeti" barked
Jackie. who was on the other end
OF the board. And he quickly gave
himself a hard jounce down, and.
of course. as he went down Uncle
Wiggily went up. That's always the
way with see-saw teeter-tauters. you
know. Up in the air. high above
the head of the Skuddlcmagoon, went

all out of breath from chasing back

that the bad chap was glad enough
to run away. and SO he didn't get

it was time for the puppy dogs to

not differ greatly from the hostess
houses established by that association

easy chairs which have become char

is very important. it has soap and
towels.
II is more than likely, however. that
a larger destiny awaits this particular
house. The American tourist Is even
now meditating a descent on the Eu-

plans to make at least partial pro-
vision for the women Of this country
who are intending to go abroad.
AS a matter of fact, the shack in
question is already providing for those
American women who are I'm service
in France and Germany and who,
having a few days leave. spend those
few days in Rheims. There are other
women similarly minded. but the
shack holds only thirty cots. and so
