Pork Prices.
Risen 100 per Cent Since 1913

Washington Retail pork prices
have jumped 100 per cent since 1913
United States labor department fig
ures show
Hogs are more plentiful than ever
before according to department of ag-
riculture figures which show that in
1916 the total number on farms was
about 67,000,000 head, while it now has
jumped to more than 100000 head.
Storage houses are jammed with
pork, according to Investigations
made for the United States Chamber
of Commerce.
Retail pork prices then, are not re
spending to the normal law Of sup
ply and demand, officials say. Accord
ing to this law pork prices should
drop when hogs are plentiful.
But good bacon has scored 1T per
cent in prices paid at the corner gro
Gerry, nationwide surveys of the la
Dor department prove Ham has gone
up 80 per cent and pork-chops 9s
per cent.
Similar boosts have not overtaker

steak has jumped only 62 per cent
since 1913; round steak, IS per cent
and rib roast but 65 per cent.

REASON (?)
FOR CHILD LABOR.

Washington Children must remain
in industry ,hat they may contribute
to the family income, says the Wash
ington Post, in discussing the new
law which levies a 10 per cent tax on
the profits Of concern that employs
children under IA years of age.
The Post IS not in sympathy with
the theory mat the coming genera
tion must not be stunted in mill, mine
and factory, and that the father should
be assured living wage. This is
the way the Post would solve the
child labor evil:
"In framing a child labor law the
utmost care must be exercised to
accomplish the desired result with
out inficting hardship upon any one.
1t must be remembered that all child
rem do not aspire to higher education
or professional careers. There are
those whom circumstances compel to
begin wage earning at an early age
in order that they may contribute to
the family income. Their opportun-
tiles must not be infringed or their
prospects eurtailed The new federal
law does not aim to prevent the EN-
ployment of children in industrial es-
Establishments. Its ppapose is to reg
ulate that employment so that they
win have the protection of law which
will guarantee them reasonable hours
and proper working conditions"
Benjamin Franklin said: God
helps those that help themselves.

The first of the week Julian Tucker
residing southeast of Meridian. had
an experience. He was peacefully
leading a pig by rope and at the
same time was smoking a pipeful of
his favorIte Dukes mixture. The pig
decided that Julian needed a little
more excitement and started to run.
In the subsequent proceedings the
young man was thrown TO the ground
falling on the pipe causing 5-inch
cash to be cut in his cheek. The flesh
was cut to the bone and the doctor
was called TO attend him. The pig was
unhurt.

st. Louis, Mo-, April 29.-The end
of the first week in the Victory Lib
erty Loan campaign finds the St Louis
District 1.-THE Eighth Federal Reserve
District in the lead in the great Ma
ional handicap.
More than one-third of the quota OF
S195 100000 has been disposed of in
the six days ending Saturday. and
while the percentage is not quite up to
the record made in the Fourth Loan.
3he showing is not at all discouraging.
At the end of the first week in the
Fourth loan the sales aggregated $123,-
219,700, with percentage of AZ. For
the corresponding period in the Vic
tory Loan the sales aggregate $69,302,-
$50. It must be remembered that the
district quota in the Fourth Loan was
S260,000,000. while in this drive the
quota is S195,000.00o
The ST Louis District is many points
ahead of its nearest competitor and
the manner in which .he counties are
reporting indicate she will maintain
the lead.
The standing of the states today as
compared with the corresponding pc
Rod in the Fourth Liberty Loan is
shown in the following tables:

friendliness. In a simple, quiet way,
this unique idea has been maintained
for over 20 years.
In every large city in the country
there are girls who have needed the
ministrations Of the Salvation Army.
After they have been helped and Sent

Only girls are admitted who have given
a good account of themselves for at
least mi month in the positions found
for them by the Salvation Army after
their release from a hospital or home.
These girls pledge themselves to keep
alive the spirit of friendliness and
home which the Salvation Army has
spread among them. The girls are
expected to dress in a plain, simple
way, and avoid in any sense of the
word gaudy or tawdry clothing.
Gossiping or tale bearing is tabooed.

rule they are liable to suspension for
a month or longer. The "Out of Love
