PREDICTS DROP
IN MEAT PRICES
IN THREE WEEKS
Railroad and Stock Yards
Agent Says 0verproduCtion
of Sheep Will Cause
Lower Price.

Prices on meat and provisions
will come tumbling down in about
three weeks, according to +. F.
Grimes, joint agent for the rail-
| roads and the Union Stock Yards,
who gives as causes the demand for
lower prices and an evident over
production of sheep.
Prices on bacon will be at least
cents lower than the government
can afford to sell its surplus army
stores" stated Mr.. Grimes. Hogs
are now selling on the roof at IS
cents 4 pound. Third rate bacon,
such as the government is selling
for 2711 cents and up, will be sell
ing for l2H cents. Next week the
hog market will again see 4 big
decline which will be felt by the
retail buyer about three weeks
later"
Overproduction Of Sheep.
"Sheep, a new force on the
market, will cause cattle to con-
tinue to go lower" stated Mr..
Grimes. "There is an overproduc-
ton of sheep. We have had the
biggest runs of sheep this year we
have ever had and expect 4 large
supply of sheep next week. More
than 2ll 900 head were received last
week and there are millions yet to
come. We have had 100000 more
sheep already this year than ever be
fore and the season is just getting
started.
About 20 per cent of the sheep
on the ranges will be lost because
of drouth. The sheep country is,
very dry and some of the lambs
shipped in as feeders have to be
carried because Of weakness. They
are pitifully small.
Farmers Buy Feeders.
These feeders are being boueh,
by farmers in Iowa and Nebraska
and will come back to the market
to be sold to the packers after the
first of the year. l believe that
nearly every farmer in Iowa and
Nebraska. has been here to buy
load of Sheep for feeding purposes.
This means that there will be
lots of mutton on the market.
This will force cattle and hogs
down"
All live stock has declined dur
ing the last week with hogs in the
lead. A continued drop, although
not so steep, is expected to keep
pace with the lowering prices OF
grain and feed.
About $50 cars of stock are
expected Monday.

Auto, Charged With
Carrying Whisky,
Fails to Testify

The case of "State of Nebraska
VS.. one Studebaker automobile" the
first of its kind in the state, was
set over until September Is in South
Side police court yesterday when it is
believed that the owner may appear
in defense of his property.
The automobile is charged with
transportation of 240 pints of whis-
ky. The car was found Tuesday
by Detectives Franel and Heller.
The owners ran when the officers
came into sight and abandoned the
car.
Since the owner wodld have to
face charges Of illegal possession,
he is not expected to appear. Since
the law is new, however, it is con-
sidered that the owner may attempt
to test its constitutionality.
The machine is brand now and
bears license No. 146,281. Unless
acquitted it will be sold for the
school fund. It was not on the wit
ness stand and failed to enter a

Would it be the part of wisdom tc
abolish the state senate, have 4 one.

of about 90?
That is one Of the suggestions
which has been made to the prelim-

Relating to article Ill OF the con-

are: Maintain the present system
of senate and house, but reduce the
membership of the lower house;
longer tenure of office for legislat-
ors; more frequent sessions of the
legislature; election of legislators
at large rather than from districts.

Scores of irate South Side citi-

ty-fourth and o streets station in
the morning and at the Thirty-ninth
and Q streets in the afternoon,
when informed that the ice plant
was unable to let them have ice
since the South OMAHA Ice Co. was
to have all available because of a
contract
Ice Is sold to the South Omaha
Ice Co. At IS 4 ton, while the re-
tail price Is IS cents per 100 pounds,
said the eomplainants.
While the ice company delivers
the frozen product to those who
can pay 20 cents a 100 pounds for
it, several hundred families of work
men in the packing houses will be
compelled to do without ice for two
days, according to their statements
A two-day supply is usually sold
on Saturday to last until Monday.

II had to duck or they would have
mobbed me-" stated Mr.. Masden
Saturday. II never was in favor
of selling ice to the South Omaha
company because we were always
short of ice during the summer. My
whole supply was sold out by 8 each
morning during the summer"
1t is said that the purpose of SELL
ing ice on contracts is to provide
business for the plant in winter. 1t
was alleged, however, that the city
is selling ice cheaper than private
concerns and that the stores would
buy from the city in winter without
an all-year contract

TENNESSEE To Be
HEATHIEST STATE
GOVERNOR ROBERTS PLEDGES
STATE AID IN FIGHT FOR BET
TER COMMUNITY HEALTH.

Endorsed by Governor Roberts and
supported by the State Departments
Of Health, Charities and Education, the
Tennessee Anti-Tuberculosis Associa'
ton will open its tenth annual cam
paign on December LIST to make Ten
nessee the healthiest state in the
Union. The society does not confine
its health fight to tuberculosis alone,
according to its annual report which
has just been completed, but 1t also Is
interested in every detail Of the pub
lie health problem and It's nurses and
workers are not only authorities on
the deadly little "T.B" germ but they
are also posted on every matter con-
oerning community health.
A year ago the efforts of the Asso-
citation were directed towards fighting
the Flu" Thousands Of pamphlets
were distributed and hundreds Of talks
were made by the officials and work
ers OF the society. This was because
the society fights any condition which
lowers the vitality OF the public, for
It is when folks worn out and run
down that the tuberculosis germ gets
to work.
According to DR.. DIN West, Score.
tary of the State Board of Health, 1t
is probable that everyone has tuber'
culosis at one time or another during
their life. Clean living saves a great
number OF people, but the fact remains
that this scourge kills one OF every ten
people who die In this country,
tuberculosis is controllable, prevent
able and durable" said DR.. West "The
Tennessee Anti-Tuberculosis Associa.
ton is going to campaign for money
to spend in this state fighting the
plague and every contribution and ev.
cry little Red Cross Seal purchased
means that you are not only helping
to fight this plague, but that you are
helping the state to raise healthier
children, teaching people to care for
their own health and in turn you are
guaranteeing yourself better health"

THE PUBLIC HEALTH NURSE.

The public Health Nurse Is more
than q nurse, she is a teacher, an ex.
pert on sanitary conditions, and like
the physician must be able to seek
out the causes OF disease In com.
munity and do away with them. The
Tennessee Anti-Tube-culosis Associa.
don has four such nurses, and it is for
these reasons that J. P. Kranz, execu.
tive secretary Of that society, counts
himself as being one Of the most fortu.
nate Of men.
There isn't any sort OF commun.
lty health condition which our nurses
are unable to seek out and cope with"
said Kranz In recent health confer.
ence. THE reports which they turn
In to county health boards would do
credit 10 q sanitary engineer Because
of their tremendously wide experience
they are entertaining as teachers and
any one Of them may be quoted as an
authority on public health"
"These nurses are hard to get and
still harder to keep. Since few nurses
have the training necessary for this
work and since the National Tubercu.
losis Association and Its 1000 affiliated
organizations throughout the country
constantly are calling for this type Of
a nurse. the Tennessee society may
consider itself fortunate in having one
OF the best staffs Of workers in the
country.
Last year four nurses visited every
county bringing their message Of hope
and health. Next year they must do
tue same and that Is why the Rel

Of another, in any section of the

The real sportsman does not

owner. but there are a few men
in almost every community, who
call themselves sportsman, but
who pay no attention to the law.
Such men have no respect for
the rights Of others, and seem to
take a delight in creating an un-
pleasant feeling between the
landowner and the sportsman.

HUNT FOR "TB" SOLDIERS

What has become of Tennessee's

men from the surgeon-generals office
and who have been unable to get In

When the facts were published about
the results Of the selective daft the
whole country stood aghast at the re.
port that out of the two million and
half men called to the colors $4,000
Of these were rejected because of Tu.
