than prise. 1t was Their that the allies
turned 10 this country for meat and
naturally our exports mounted r>p-
idly.
Naturally this increased demand
and its competitive buying boosted
prices. BIZ. with the signing Of TIE
armistice there was an instant break
in the cattle market and export OF
beef from .hi, county was so sharp
that it tire; iced any live stool; men
with ruin. Iurc,'e is again getting us
beef from So"E America and Aus
tralia and the corn fed beef of this
country can never again hope to COM
pete with the grass fed animals of the
Argentine and Australia. 1t may even
be that grass fed beef from the Arg
entine will soon be competitor in our
own markets. The availability OF
shipping facilities will probably as
sure this.
Hog Prices Climb.

market, however. There is no place
other than this country where the
hungry people ofEurope can secure
hog products and that is largely the
reason why hog prices continued to
climb even while beef was falling off
a few weeks ago. This drop in prices
so alarmed the beef PRODUCERS that
they inaugurated an advertising cam
paign to increase the use of beef and
lamb, and this campaign, together
with the disappearance of surplus beef
stocks has caused demand to again
catch up with production and for a
week or more past the packers have
had to engage actively in buying beef
cattle to fill orders-and the result
has been stronger prices in the cattle
market.
with the respect to the shipment
of breeding animals to Europe, Eu-
number, it seems to me, but not
enough have been sent or are in pros
pect of being sent to make such en-
portations an important factor in the
present price"

ume which the food administration
showed the packers made last year,
, and which is about the usual rate,
cannot be so divided between the pro-
Queer and the consumer that it is
going to mean anything to either Of
them
yet because prices are high GER
, tain critics of the big packers are
seeking to enact laws that will cripple
packers activities. l want to say that
, the laws which have been proposed
can not do other than lessen the
efficiency of the big packers and any
lessened efficiency means higher ra-
ther than lower prices to the con-
sumner.
II hope The Tribune's readers will
interest themselves in this whole mat
ter to the extent of finding out what
the facts really are.
Meat prices are high as compared
to the prices that ruled before the
war, but they are low as compared
with the levels that other basic foods
have attained, and they are low COM
pared to the prices which would in
all likelihood prevail if the efficiency
of the present packing industry rs
ruined by legislation based on mis-
understanding. misapprehension, and
ungrounded prejudice-on the theory
that the price of meat can be reduced
and the price OF meat animals raised
by one and the same law.
Requires Twofold Action.
! THE remedy for the present high
prices requires twofold action. First
and foremost, world production of
food must be increased. Europe is
PROSTATE and. is going to make some
exections to get production there
back on a normal basis. They need
money to rehabiltate the farms and
factories and replenish the meat herds.
The people of this country have a
great share of the worlds gold and
it is incumbent upon American BUSH
ness men and the government of the
United States to arrange long term
credits, so that Europe will have the
money it needs to get things going
again.
Secondly, the arbitrary fixing of
prices and conditions in all lines of
business during the war by our gov
eminent was essentially necessary.
Production, regardless of price was
the all important object The war
has Terminated and the sooner the
government relinquishes arbitrary po-
wer over all lines of human endeavor
other than those purely government
al in function the sooner will our
country be on its way back to normal
conditions, where the old economic
law of supply and demand will gov
ern and equalize to the satisfaction
and contenment of our 110,000,0o0
people. Chicago Tribune.

Queer of live stock were to explain
that. but after all it is very simple.
Animals are the product of much
labor and a considerable quantity OF
feeds, chief among which is corn.
Corn figures such large part of the
making of meat animal that it is
customary to figure the cost of pro-
live animal in terms of bushels OF
corn.
With corn as a measure of produc-
ton cost one has but to compare the
value of bushel of corn today to its
value before the war to understand
why hogs jumped from $s.1a in 1914
to $2O.25 in 1919 You know there is
no corn being used as fuel by Amer
lean farmers today, yet it is not many
years ago that corn was so cheap that
many burned it rather than to buy
fuel"
The Breckenridge news. (Cloverport, Ky.) 1876-1955, 1919-08-13
Why Corn Is High.

entail reason, why is corn so high?"
persisted the interviewer.
Corn is standing on record levels. "
said Mr.. Armour, partly because of
its increased production cost in wag-
es and SO on. but even more because
of the sympathetic and competitive
relation that exists between corn and
wheat. Wheat is the real basis on
which food values are determined.
The government is responsible for the
high cost of wheat by it's guarantee
of Sa.26 per bushel to the farmers of
the country. That price was fixed in
the belief that it was high enough to
encourage unusual production.
Congress did not think that wheat
would be worth that much on the
open market, and so an appropriation
of billion dollars was passed in ord
err to make up the difference between
what the government paid for the
wheat and what it expected to get
for it in the open market. The Unit
ed States Grain Corporation, however
thus far made no reduction in the
price, and so wheat at its present high
levels is up, and also meat animals,
at a record level"

them i will be misled- into doing any.
thing that Is unwise.
II have in front Of me a statement
just received from our accounting de-
partment. II compares the prices
paid for meat animals last month with
the prices paid each year in June since
1914. II shows that in 1914 we bought
hogs for $s12 hundred pounds. In
1915 they cost $7.47; in 1916 they cost
$9.47; in 1917 they jumped to S15.32;
In 1918 to $16.41, and for June Of this
year our average price was $20.25 or
an increase this year of 149 per cent.

pointment that he had said nothing

and in a way distressed me, ! had
let him kiss me, and kiss from a
man meant more than letter writing,
to me. / had waited in the empty
little station, whittier his aunt and l
had gone to see him off, until his train

lance. Then ] made an excuse not to

ing beyond the village; the one Neil
and l had taken the day befOre-a
road guarded by great trees whose

until / reached the wood, and the log
upon which we sat. There was the
hole in the moss as Neil had left it.
There were pieces of a twig which
he had broken in his hands while we
talked. I stopped and gathered them
Il have them still.
I sat on the log dreaming until the
sun faded into soft violet glow be-
hind the horizon, then l walked slow
ly home, cropping among my confused
thoughts, trying to puzzle out the
meaning of that casual kiss Neil had
SO lightly pressed upon my cheek.
"You didn't understand, Neil, you
didn't understand" I said over and
over to myself, scarcely knowing what
the reiteration of the words meant;
or even the words themselves. Dim
ly, back in my mind, was the thought
that had Neil known cared, he would
either not have kissed me, or he would
have said more than to ask me to
write to him.
A moment l stood still before l
went into the house l shivered
little in the warm night air, but not
with cold. Then taking by courage in
lev hands I went in. l had been
afraid mother would ask me where /
had been, but beyond giving me an
unusually sharp look she said nothing.

a little while before he was graduated

and she told me. She said you and
she had gone to the station to see him

Dinner was ready and so no more
was said of Neil But after had
helped mother with the dishes as
usual. crept off upstairs and sat by
my open window, thinking of Neil
dreaming dreams that brought bushes
to my cheeks.
It was foolish to think Neil would
care for me-a simple little country
girl-when he saw so many girls
who were more accomplished, so much
handsomer and better educated Yet

tically gone out of my life.

ATLANTA WIFE
KILLS HUSBAND
OVER WAITRESS

ATLANTA, January 29.-Has wo-
man the right to shoot her husband
If he is untrue to her?
In a few weeks a Fulton county
h1ry will be called on to decide this
question in the case of Mrs. John Alb
bolt. wife of Daredevil John Abbott,
driver of the automobile of the chief
of the Atlanta fire department. who
shot and killed her husband Monday
night when she discovered that he had
been intimate with Mrs. Mary Pow
ers, a pretty cafe waitress "a years
of age.
In the past few months ia the state
of New York, where the crime OF
homicide is usually punished with
more severity than in Georgia, juriea
have acquitted women for killing their
husbands, the most recent case being
that of Madame Lebaudy, wife of the
famous sugar king who attempted to
establish colony in Africa.
In the past few years in Atlanta two
women have been acquitted of shoot
ing or killing their husbands, one be-
ing Mrs. Mary Applebaum and the
other Mrs. Daisy Opie Grace, both OF
whom shot their husbands. Jerry APP
pIebaum was killed instantly and Eu-
gene Grace died after lingering sew
eral months with a ballet lodged
against his spine.
Mrs. Abbott shot her husband in the
presence of her two sons, aged IL and
ID years, who saw their father die
with a bullet through his heart They
sat there hushed and silent, with wide
frightened eye, and heard their mother
compel their fathers confession that
he had been intimate with another Wo-
man. They saw their mothers hand
dart out to the revolver on the table,
saw their father try to snatch it from
her, saw the fame leap oHt of the
muzzle and saw him fall at the feet
of his wife.
Now at police station Mrs. Abbott
and Mrs. Powers are confined m cells

each other, hear each other, witness

itors who call to see them.
