SOME PARAGRAPHS FROM

Saturday morning.
Miss Frances Burton entered a
sanitarium in Lubbock this week and
underwent an operation for appendi-
citis. She is getting along nicely.
Mrs Paul Owens went to Lubbock

bale of new cotton here yesterday.
Il was not learned what the cotton

Rev. j. II. McCauley. pastor of the
local Baptist Church, attended the
meetings Of the Brownfield Baptist
Association at Tahoka this week.
Probably the greatest revival meet
ing ever held in Slaton closed at the
Methodist Church Sunday night after
continuing two weeks. During the
last week Evangelist G.. A. Klein, Of
Memphis, Tenn, accompanied by
Harry Beckman as chorus director,
was here and assisted the pastor, Rev.
T. c. Willett. The attendance was
unusually large at both morning and
evening services and the interest was
good. As result Of this meeting
large number were added TO the
Methodist Church, a number reclaim
ed, and many who were members OF
other denominations but did not hold
their membership here were induced
to give their names in order that the
pastors of the city might get their
letters. The Methodists have been
planning a new church for many
but many things came up to
hinder them and the prospect was
not very encouraging. However,
about $1,000 had been pledged, and
on Sunday night Evangelist Klein
took up the matter of new church
asked for additional pledges
and the response was very crafty
ing. With the amount already pledg-
ed about Sl1, 900 has been raised for
the new church, and the building
committee has already bought some

VOTING TO HOLD
 AN INQUIRY TO
 PRICES OF MEAT
Senate Committee Hearings on Kendrick and Kenyon
 Bills to Start Aug. IS.
WHEAT QUESTION
 ALSO COMES UP
Gronna Urges Action on Peace Treaty Before Pre-
 senting Food Legislation

Washington, Aug. 7.-The ground work was laid by the Senate Agricul- tural Committee yesterday for an in- quiry into the prices of meat, as a vital feature of the investiga ton of the cost of living problem.
 It was voted to begin hearings on the Eendrtck and Kenyon bills to reg ulate the meat-packing industry on Aug. 8. Later the committee will go into the wheat situation and other phases relating to the cost of Hv- ing.
 Most of the committee members wanted to begin hearings on the Ken drick and Kenyon bills at once, but Senator Gronna of North Dakota, chairman of the committee, objected on tho ground that some of the sena- tors wished to participate in the de- bate on the league of Nations cov- enant in the Senate.
 Senator Gronna, felt, he said, that the Senate ought to get the Peace Treaty out of the way at once SO that it could devote itself to the cost of living problem as well as other ques- tions of afterward reconstruction. The country, he said, was getting inn patient over the Senate delay tn com ing to vote on the treaty.
 Other members of the committee agreed with him that the treaty should be quickly disposed of. but the opinion was expressed that there was no indication of speed on the part of the Foreign Relations Com rnittee, which still has the treaty under consideration.
 The North Dakota Senator thought that the Agricultural Committee should wait until the treaty was voted upon before submitting any suggestions on the cost of living. The majority of the committee, however, felt disposed to proceed with tho in quiry into the packing industry and

ago, 1t was said. It has been in the presidents hands for some time, and it is understood that he urged its speedy printing and transmittal to Congress in connection with efforts of the government to combat the hign cost of living.
 To show that the packers during the last four years have made unwar- ranted increases in the price of "packer'' hides, the report pointed out that the price differentfal between the hides and country hides-hides or lower grade-has increased far be- yond the usual proportion" Charges of excessive profits against the tan ner and the shoe manufacturer were said to be supported by "the high rates of return on investment" in both industries following the price in- creases-
 ''The public" said the report, "had to pay prices for shoes that not only could not be justified because retail shoe dealers took too much profits but because the dealer had to pass on to the consumer the excessive prohts received by butchers for hides and also the excess profits of tanners and shoe manufacturers"
The Bridgeport times and evening farmer., 1919-08-07

as a compromise Aug. IS was fixed as the day to begin hearings.
 The committee will investigate profiteering as one phase of the cost of living, several members expressing the view that 1t lay back of the entire problem. Drastic laws against exces sive profits will be considered. Sena- for Gronna remarked that the sit uation would have to be handled with hard> gloves. The feeling of profteers, he said, would not be spared.
 ''The way to get at facts. in my opinion, is to call a spade a spade and not approach the matter timidQy," said MT. Gronna.
 In urging that the committee post pone it's investiga ton until after the Peace Treaty was disposed of MT. Gronna said that he feared 1t would be difficult to get all the members of the committee together while the de- bate was on.
 NO one listens to the speeches anyway" replied Senator Kenyon of Iowa. ''If we wait until the Treaty Is out of the way 1t will be sixty days or more before these bills can be considered"
 Senator Ransde1l of Louisiana said:
 
 and we have got to have legislation on the high cost of living tnm edi- ateiy. There is tremendous unrest throughout the country, and 1t may be quieted somewhat by hearings at once that will bring us the thought from all interests of the country as to what should be done"
 The high cost of living is inter related with, everything" said MT. Gronna. Tt will require from sixty to ninety days to hear all the inter- ests that ought to be heard. We have got to consider labor, the products of the farms and factories, manufactur~ ing, railroad transportation, and money problems if we are going to eff feet c real change in the high cost of living.
 q believe that the public will be impatient if we allow these hearings to drag along" said Senator Capper of Kansas. The question Is over shadowing everything else, and will continue to do so for three to six months."
 'Tt is the one great question:" said Senator Johnson of South Dakota. "If we do not have immediate and drastic action we are going to have a revolu- tion: you may jest about it, but 1t is in tho air"
 Senator Johnson favored a law, he said, to limit profits in all business, as bankers are limited in interest rates.
 Mir Capper asserted that three fourths of the retailers in Washington were getting double what their goods cost them.
 We found one cut-rate dealer who was only getting from 50 to so per cent, but he was making a lot of money" Mir. Capper said.

The Association Opposed to Nation al Prohibition quotes pr. Roman as follows:
 An individual who can be em- ployed in work which does not com mand genuine respect because !s~lacks use, beauty and truth Is constantly subject to class discrimination and to temptations of immortality.
 This is particularly true among young women who sell tobacco in hotels and cigar stores. Go to any hotel and you will find the cigar stand in the lobby near the barrom You will find the cigar girl subjected to the same sort Of humiliation and insult that her older sister, the bar maid, formerly endured.
 Some one says, but don't men take the same attitude toward women who wait on the tables in the dining room ? My answer is, No
 The reason for this answer Is that wathresses are chosen with view to the heavy service they have to per form and not with a ziegfeld eye for well dressed good looks, as are the cigar girls. There should be law in every state in the union, forbidding women to sell tobacco on the ground that 1t jeopardizes morals''
 Such" says the statement of the association Opposed to National Prohibitionists, 'is the line of at tack in the tobacco fight by the same professional prohibihonists who have with the aid of a few law makers, put prohibition and confisca- tion upon an unwilling nation. This book is the keystone of the cam paign.''

OPPONENTS INSIST ACTION AGAINST
 TOBACCO COMING
Denials By Anti Saloon League and w. c. T. U. Stir Anti -Drys to Make
 New Charges.

New York. Aug. S.-The Associa- tion to National Prohibition an- nounced yesterday 1t was prepared to prove that the Anti-Saloon League and the W. c. T. U. are only waiting the stringent enforcement of the dry law before Joining hands in a drive to run tobacco out of America.
 The campaign against tobacco, the association says, is already prepared and will be launched as soon as Con sress passes legislation to enforce prohibition.
 As proof of the coming anti-smoke campaign, the association quotes from Dr. Frederick W. Romans book, Nicotine Next" and says that this volume, which 1t calls the adopted Bible of the campaign against to- bacco," condemns the whole indus try, root and branch.
 Quotations from this volume are given to show that the coming drive will spare no one. The farmer who raises the crop, the hired hand who picks 1t, the men who cure 1t, the wholesaler who sells it and even the clerk who vends it retail are all con- demned.
