have reached a more nearly normal basis.
 Beef Is Now Cheapest Food
 In contrast to the meatless days of the war, beef has now become the cheapest food that can be consumed. For the price per pound it contains more of the clements essential to well balanced food than any other article. As it's price descends, other foods must follow suit --
 Tine Tovrea company is not connect- cd in any way with the big packing concerns. being a purely local com pany.e Itlis at present the largest con 'cern Of it's kind betwene Fl Paso and Los Angeles and the only one in this district, whose meats are government inspected
 The main plant is located at what has been nicknamed ''Toyreaville." In cluding the branch shops it gives em- ployment to more than 15O persons and pays meat cutters the highest scale in the United States, S15O a month for nine hours work.
 Supplying Troops in Arizona
 The company is now slaughtering 1000 head of beef a month and about 1000 head of veal, sheep, lambs and hogs. It is supplying the troops m Arizona with S00,O00 pounds, of meat a month. MT. Tovrea said yesterday there was not much lilklihood of any sharp reductions in the price of pork4 except those that will come as result of the cut in beef prices. Pork VIII continue to be high and scarce until the farmers begin raising more hogs.
 IA. c. L. Soon Myth in Bisbee
 With rents at a surprisingly low fscale compared with other cities, with municipal market in operation where vegetables and fruits can be bought dl- rectly from the producer, and with the cut in beef prices ranging from 10 to 20 per cent, Bisbee appears, well on the way toward solution of the high cost of living problem Wages here already are higher on the average than any place in the United States and prices for necessities lower.
 sTt is a source of qualification to us that we are able to help solve the food problem by making these sharp reductions in prices" Mir. Tovrea said vesterday. eve have been in the War ren district for a long time and have grown from a small concern to large one. We have confidence in the dis trict and believe in its future.
 Sees Stimulus to Local Population ?:
 "We think that cutt,cg the price of beef will go long way toward reduce ing the cost of living in general. The result should be gratifying increase in our population When people flnq out that we have the highest average wages in the country and the lowest prices for food, they will want to come here to live. Our action in putting the new scale into effect is simply in line with our policy of doing all we can to If the public share in our own pros prity."
 The reduction announced yesterday is not connected with the big $5OO,OOO packing plant mar Phoenix now under way and in which the Tovreas are in terested This concern will not be completed and in operation for about eight months. Vim it gets to running some other interesting devIopmnts in the food situation may be- looked for
