HOGS KEEP ON CLIMBING,
PULLING CORN PRICE UP

Chicago, July S.-After breaking the
high price record three times last
week, the hog market Monday con-
tinued its upward course. New top
quotations were established at $22.4O
hundred weight, as against an av-
erage cost of $21.SO on Thursday, since
when there has been no trading until
Monday morning.
Sensational advances in the price of
corn took place Monday largely owing
to the steep ascent in the value Of
hogs. The sharpest ascent of corn
was for the vertical jump of cents
to $-.94 bushel. 1t was said manu-
facturers were able to dispose of corn
prducts on a basis equal to more than
50 bushel for corn.

RESIGNATION OF
BURLES0N IN THE
PRESIDENTS HANDS
Postmaster General Answering La
bor's Resolution Presents Resig-
nation From Cabinet.

Washington, July 8.-President Will
son, reaching New York today, has in
his possession the resignation of AL
bert s. Burleson, postmaster general.
Burleson cabled his resignation to
the president at Paris. He offered to
retire in the interest of the Democrat
ic party. Replying by cable the presi-
dent thanked Burleson for his atti-
tude and stated the matter would be
withheld for consideration until his
return to America.
The postmaster generals resigna-
ton was despatched shortly after the
American Federation of Labor at It's
Atlantic City conference adopted reso-
lutions demanding that Burleson be
removed
This was followed by criticism from
other quarters and is understood to
have prompted his offer to step down
to save the president possible embar-
rassment.
President Wilson, returning to the
United States today, is confronted by
many important issues. Many bills
are on his desk at the White House
awaiting his signature.
In addition he is expected to name
a charge daffaires for the American
embassy in Berlin; consult with Sec
retary William c. Redfield with re-
| gard to assumptions of commercial
relations with Germany after the trad
ing with the enemy law expires upon
signing peace; take action in the per-
sistentiy reported desire of Secretary
Newton d. Baker to retire; decide
when rehabilitation will be ended and
war prohibition may be lifted, and
take hand in plans for returning the
railroads to their owners.

new SYSTEM OF
FOOD SELLING IS
To Be Offered
Government Offering Meat to Cities
Below Cost-Inyestigations To Be
Made in Kentucky May Bring
Down Prices to Con-
sumers.

Prices of meat throughout the Unit
ed States being almost prohibitive has
attracted the attention of the Federal
government and has been the subject
of much investigation by government
experts.
Through the efforts of interested
parties in the state of Ohio and the CO.
operation of Ohio Congressman and
Senators new system of food buying
is about to be established which may
spread to Kentucky and other states
as we'll. 1t is understood that prices
to be adopted by the government for
the cities purchasing this food will be
approximately 80 rer cent of the cost
to the government on canned vege-
tales and canned meats. Cities will be
permitted to order supplies on con-
signment to be paid for after they are
sold
Prices of meat are so very high
throughout the state of Kentucky that
such a system would be welcomed by
the heads of families should it result
in final reduction in the prices of
'ood stuffs.
An indication of how the public,
both producer and consumer, has been
whipsawed by packers and meat deal
ers in the past few months is given in
figures issued today by the Depart
ment of Agriculture.
These show that since March there
has been a decline of IA per cent in
the price paid for medium and good
beef steers at Chicago and of 23 per
| cent. on choice and prime steers.
| Instead of this decline in price to
the producers being reflected in a
proportionate reduction in the retail
prices of beef, however, these have
| remained about steady or even have
advanced slightly.
AS result, the department says
| the nation is confronted with one of
the most serious food problems it ever
has faced.
| The reduction in prices paid pro-
| ducers, 1t is stated, especially in beet
and lambs, is so low that the producer
actually is losing money. This may
result in decline in the production
Of meat animals that will be serious
during the next few years.
On the other hand, the prices fol-
dressed beef are held up to a point
where the public actually is forced tc
deny itself meat.
AS to the solution necessary to meet
this situation the department says:
"The United States will never have
a satisfactory and permanent solu
tion Of this problem until the manu-
facture, sale and distribution o.
meat products are officially super
vised by authorized agents of tn,
government, working in cooperation
with state and municipal authorities
whose only aim is to serve the publ,
at large"

A thrilling and at the same time
unusual scene In Laughing Bill

an escaped convict watching a pair of
crooks rob their thieving employer, a

gets their treasure box leads to a
score of breath-taking situations. See
