Test Of President Wilson 5 Address
To Congress or Cost of Lining
Gentlemen of the Congress:

EeHtlemen or the Congress-:
l have sought this opportunity TO
address you because it is clearly nv
duty to call your attention to TIE
present cost of living and to urge
upon you with all the persuasive
force of which am capable the leg
lslatlve measures which would be
most effective in controlling it and
bringing it down.
The prices the people of this coun-
try are paying for everything that
it is necessary for them to use in
order to live are not justified by
shortage in supply, either present
or prospective, and are in MANY
cases artificially and deliberately
created by vicious practices which
ought Immediately to be checked by
law. They constitute burden upon
us which is the more unbearable be-
cause we know that it is wilfully
imposed by those who have the power
and that it can by vigorous public
0SeA"i' HS 6ASaIiy liz anu maQe
to square with the actual conditions
OF supply and demand.
Some of the methods by which
these prices are produced are already
illegal, some of them criminal, and
those who employ them will be cner-
getically proceeded against; but 9TH
ers have not yet been brought under
the law, and should be dealt with
at once by legislation.
Prices Are the Talk
OF Every Domestic Circle
I need not recite the particulars
of this critical matter; the prices
demanded and paid at the sources Of
supply, at the factory, in the food
markets, at the shops, in the restau-
rants and hotels, alike in the city
and in the village. They are familia.
to you. They are the talk of every
domestic circle and of every group
of casual acquaintances even. 1t is
a matter of familiar knowledge, also.
that process has set in which is
likely, unless something is done to
push prices and rents and the whole
cost Of living higher and yet higher.

Whale oil is obtained on much
larger scale from halibut heads, which
are treated In the same way as the
SwOrdfish heads-i. e., cooked to a
pulp with steam and pressed. A short

oil. Boston and Gloucester (Mass)
annually produce 1900 gallons Of re

CORPUS CHRISTI Is HEAV-

Brownsville, Texas, Sept. TO-
Port Arkansas, Arkansas Pass and
Rockport were virtually destroyed
and property loss will run into
millions as result Of the tropi-
cal hurricane Sunday, according
to a wireless message from a
steamer in the harbor at Port
Arkansas, picked up tonight at
Fort Brown. The report also
mentions six dead. all men. at
Port Aransas, the women and chill
dren having been given refuge
aboard ships.
Washington, Sept. 16.-The
American Red Cross tonight an
nounced the dispatch of two spec

ency supplies and a large detach-
ment Of relief workers to the hur-
ricane-stricken district between
Brownsville and Corpus Christi,
Texas.
With the known death list at
least twenty-nine at Corpus
Christi and estimates that the toll
will mount to IS or 100 in that
city alone, the situation in the
storm-swept west gulf coast region
of Texas continued uncertain
Tuesday night.
While the death toll in the at
fected territory outside Corpus
Christi probably is considerable,
there was no confirmation Of re-
ports placing the total well into
the hundreds. Probably the most
definite news came from Corpus
Christi Tuesday night, in the tate-
ment that fifty six persons, none
81 whom had been identified, had
been drowned between Portland
and Taft. This information was
brought across Nueces bay by q,
resident who asserted that twen-
ty-six of the dead were at Port
land, which lies across the bay,
eight miles west Of Corpus Christi;
twelve at one ranch house and
eighteen at another.
Reports in railroad circles at
San Antonio were that the dead in
Rockport would not exceed three.
Radio advices at Galveston said
TX men were drowned at Port

and children there had been saved.

An interesting suit has been in
stituted against the Chippewa
(Wis.) Sugar Refining Company
of the Federal Government in
which the company is asked to pay
over $14.111.1O on sugar sold dur

per pound and the company sold
3, 5O2, 500 pounds at 9.28 cents.
The agreement was that the re-
fining companies were to sell SUI

fair and at the expiration Of ev-
cry ninety days they were to give
an accounting to the sugar depart

From these amounts the general
average of the selling price Of su-

received more than the acreage

The Big Question

Probably the most important
question now agitating the minds of
thousands of farmers and feeders is:
Will it pay to handle cattle this
winter? There is undoubtedly at
this time marked degree of uncer-
tainty connected with enterprise.
and this is no doubt responsible for
many taking a negative vote on the
perplexing problem.
Authorities differ to some extent
upon the question, however, there is
a general belief prevalent among
well posted cattlemen connected
with the buying side of the indus
try, who come out flatfooted and
take the stand that prospects were
never more encouraging for the
feeder than they will be from now
on. Invariably these op:imists
base their argument on the fact
that good beef is scarce at present
and with many farmers staying out
of the game this winter the shortage
of good beef will naturally become
more acute, thus forcing values
back to higher levels once again.
While If 10 couauhot nut nc M.
line to any predictions as to the
future, still many believe with the
evidences at hand now it appears
as though Mr.. Feeder would make
no serious mistake in endeavoring
to regain some of the losses he suf.
fered this fall on his cattle.-Live
