BOSTON, July i-Stories that hav,
been going the rounds in New England
Tor some months, to the effect that
profits OF from 100 to 300 per cent were

10 persistent that President Scates, OF
The Massachusetts Retail Shoe Arer-

'ShOo costs and prices showed a

'"Meats I'm Storage"

Every working day of the year 75,oooooo pounds
ofmea required to supply home and export needs
and only 10 per cent of this is exported
These facts must be kept in mind when consd-
ering the u. S. Bureau of Markets report that
June l. 1919 there 1,348,000O0 600 pounds of
meats In cold storage If the meat in storage
placed the market it would only be 20 days supply.
This meat is not artihcially withheld from trade
channels to maintain or advance prices
Meats in storage consist Of
65 per cent (approximate) hams bacon, ETC., in
process of curing 1t takes 80 to 90 days in
pickle salt to complete the process.
10 per cent is frozen pork that is to be cured
later in the year.
6 per cent is lard This is only four-ffths of
pound per capita, and much of it will have
to go to supply European needs.
1o per cent is frozen beef and lamb part of
which is owned by the Government and was
intended chiefly for overseas shipment If
this were all diverted to domestic trade chan
nes it would be only Ia lbs. per capita-a
i00z 01S' supply
From this it will be seen that meats in
storage represent merely unfinished goods in pro-
cess OF curing and the working supply necessary to
assure the consumer steady flow of finished product

school for courage and character
and skill, and they are raising their
boys to be men-fighting man when
necessary-but manly men at all
times, and four women in Idaho's
legislature voted to enact a bill CIV
ing the legal right to hold boxing
matches in Idaho, up to twenty
rounds. One of these women in vot-
ing, said she did not raise her boys
to be mollycoddles, and she wanted
them to have the right to box and
to see clean, manly sport by the
finest skill in the world. .
Idaho Legislators Said
Another of these women in the
Idaho legislature said she had four
sons in the army, and they were
all training as boxers and in every
kind of clean, manly sport, and she
wished she could take them all to
witness the cleanest, fairest boxing
contest of the age in which they
lived; that the returning soldier hav-
ing whipped the foulest foe on earth
by the cleanest fighting on earth,
should have the privilege of sitting
down in a great stadium in his
own fair state and watching a box
ing match between champions if
he wanted to. The folks who do not
care to see it, will not be called
upon to go to see nor to participate
-altho the average mothers son
has been required to go and partici-
pate in the big fight in Europe to
protect the mollycoddles along with
the rest of us. She was glad of
the opportunity to vote for the bill.
Encouragement From Everywhere
Some of the big men Of four states
were present at the meeting, or
wired their attitude on the question
of bringing the nations sports to
the Snake river valley, and there
were offers of substantial support
for the undertaking. A convass of
the matter indicated that it would
take nearly a quarter of a million
dollars as a guaranty fund and for
all expenses, and it was decided to
handle it as chautauquas are
handled, securing a fund Of cash
deposits and promisapry notes to
place on deposit to secure the COM
mittee against loss. 1t is expected
that the sales of tickets and of con-
cessions in the city where the fight
is held, will amount to something
like a quarter of a million dollars,
but the people who sign the con-
tracts to incur the expense of train
ing the boxers, erecting the great
stadium and handling the advertis-
ing and a score of other lines of
expense, must be secured against
all contingencies.

DISTINGUISHED SPEAKER AT BLACKF0OT
WORKING FOR IRRIGATION ADVANCEMENT
Idaho to be Represented by Body of 100000
for Development Of Public Lands
GREATER SERVICE FOR LESS MONEY

Major Fred r. Reed is visiting
the towns of the Upper Snake river
valley and southern Idaho building
up an organization known as the
Idaho Reclamation association. The
purpose of this association is to
organize about hundred thousand
members to carry on the work of
presenting Idaho's claims to federal
appropriations and federal loans to
be used in pushing the reclamation
of Idaho's public lands in ways that
cannot be accomplished by private
enterprise. Major Reed is not work
ing for any particular project, but
for Idaho, and that includes all of
them within the state, and the stor-
age of some of the waters of sister
state that drain this way.
One Body Doing Work of All
The work that has been carried
on by smaller organizations working
independently will hereafter be done
thru one body, with the smaller ones
in the different counties as branches
of it, and all presenting their case
at once for cooperation, 1t greatly
reduces the expense, increases the
force of the appeal to be made, and
keeps out all the friction and dis
advantages arising from competition.
The plan of financing it is for every
body to join apd pay $1.OO a year
into his local, or county organiza-
tion. One-fourth of the membership
fees remains in the local treasury,
and three-fourths of it goes to the
central office at Pocatello.
Turning Failure Into Success
The Pocatello office is in charge
of Major Reed and a private secre-
tary, the Major doing the travelling
from town to town to look after the
work of organization by counties and
to gather data needed for the work,
the private secretary doing the work
of the office. 1t rs not passing
activity, but done to fill crying
need that has long been neglected in
Idaho excepting insofar as it has
been done by private enterprise and
by spasmodic efforts of commercial
clubs that get discouraged as rule,
and quit when they saw the great
waste and handicap incident to the
scattered and competitive efforts.
1t is intended by the master minds
that conceived the plan, that the Or
ganization shall be kept up thru the
years, as a parent body fostering all
the smaller ones by bringing about
conditions favorable to their needs.
1t is to be the main channel thru
which the waters Of the springs and
creeks can flow. 1t is to furnish the
large stream of finance into Which
the child of enterprise may dip. 1t
is the balance-wheel to arrange for
government loans to drive construc-
tion and tide enterprise over advers-
tiles and prevent hard times by keep
ing up the steady application Of
power on the drive shaft.
Securing Government Loans
The money obtained from men,
bership fees is used to carry on the
