 "A memorandum O. .he amount in pounds used at each public eating place in the city is being kept and 1t Is to be hoped that our place will be above the average"
 LOCAL MARKET SITUATION Dropping into the meat market or Morrison & Hill, which firm consists of two expert retailers. J. NJ. Morrison and J. E. Hill, found a good story on why first-class meats retain wartime prices. asked MT. Morrison if he objected to being quoted and he said it suited him all right, as he handed the best Kansas City products and set his prices as low as possible, quality consid- cred scarcer right now than for many weeks. And the packers tell me we can look for a further climb. Kansas City cuts jumped 2 to cents the past two days. Whole western beef is cost ing us 241s to 25k cents the pound, while hindquarters range from 30 to S2 cents, including shanks, kidneys and Hanks.
 By glancing at these first cost prices you can readily see why hand Ter of good stuff must get good prices It's safety first with us, as we want to hold our trade with the best of cuts. Of course, many butchers pick up what we call bargains or seconds which are animals that have come from ranges without being corn-fed. One merchant may sell you round a another at cents The former you will have to use your foot and teeth like a dog to eat. while the latter you can eat with knife and fork.
 This you have the meat situation iE a nutshell. Ala abama-raised live stock a whole is not up to standard, as the farmers have not started to raise enough corn to taper off with at the fattening season. Me for high class stuff and the other fellow for bar gains"
