MORE IN STORAGE
But the Price Does Not Seem
To Come Down Much.
There Are Artificial Price
StimulatiOns Used Now.

Chicago, Jan. 29.-Provisions for a
brobdingnagian banquet were cooling
today in Illinois storage houses.
Their release, according to experts
of the state food administration, would
have no effect on the high price of
food. The millions OF pounds of meat
and produce in storage Is almost nor
NAL. they say.
Sagging markets of all descriptions
steadied somewhat today following the
announcement of tine $3.50 hog price
This notice that arbitrary pricing is to
be continued was accepted everywhere
as a good omen for the traders.
The produce market, first one here
to slump, and the first one to claim
attention of state officials. who imme-
retail prices did not follow the whole
sale drop. was steadier today.
Butter Down Four Cents.
Butter had sagged 4 cents Tuesday,
to As cents wholesale. Fresh eggs had
fallen cents to 40 cents. Potatoes
dropped cents to $40 and cheese
fell and cents.
Grains and grain futures rallied
somewhat today after two-week per-
iod of sagging in which low records
fer-two years were reached. The fixed
hog price, insuring demand for
grains Tor IeeQlnS purposes, was GA
peeted to support grains for a time.
Meantime yards in the middle west
are clogged with grain In the Twin
cities last week it was necessary to
declare a grain embargo, just as it has
been necessary periodically to pro-
hibit the shipping of livestock into
packing centers
Artificial Price Keeps Cost Up.
Food experts admitted a tremendous
supply of all necessities with only arti-
ficiaI price fixing keeping the cost up.
Cold storage has no part in the high
cost of living, according to John b.
Newman, superintendent of the food
and dairy division of the state food
administration
His figures show decided increase
in amounts stored in Illinois now
over those at the beginning of the
year. However, he said beef products
of which there were 10000, 900
pounds in storage today, are the only
ones above normal. His division, in
existence less than a year, could moi
offer comparisons with last year. 49,
In round numbers, Illinois today
had in the ice box: 100000 pounds
of mutton, 32,00O.000 pounds of pork
10,500.000 pounds of fish, $4,000, 00l
pounds of poultry. 10,500,000 pounds
of miscellaneous poultry, $500, 00t
cases of eggs and 100000 pounds OF
butter

A comprehensive history of the part
Kansas played in the gre at war is as
sured by the pledge made by the
county clerks to gather all the infor-
nation possible about the boys of their
respective counties who entered the
army, and file the facts at the county
seat Of each county. This proposition
was submitted by w. r. Yenawine, who
spoke on 'Raising an Army; the Draft
Boards Part in IT.
The meeting of the county treasur-
ers in the office of the state treasurer
was confined to discussions of the
problems arising in their work and
they spent considerable time in dis
cussion of the best forms and blanks
to be used in their offices.
The manner in which the various
counties handle their INDECENT poor
was a subject,which came in for gen.
clerks Tuesday afternoon at their
meeting in the second division court
room. J. T. Swonger, Jr., president of
the Commissioners association and
president of the Kansas OFFICIAL cOun-
Gil made an address on this subject in
which he pointed out that modern i'm
provementS were a necessity for coun-
ty infirmaries but almost impossible to
get in the country The citizens of
Anderson county, he said, voted four
to one for the sale of the old county
farm there and the purchase of an
eight-acre tract at the edge of Gar
nett, where modern building, with
gas and electric lights, was erected.
and asserted that the proximity to the
city was not objectionable either to
the citizens or the inmates. Other
pressed the belief that the farm should
be located away from the city.

H. w. McAfee. of the board of
Shawnee county commissioners, told
the members of the association of the
recent act of the county in voting $780,

Charles is no exception. After much
difficulty in getting the machine
going grand start is made for the
boat on which they are to spend the
day, a day which is made riotous by
dancing. lighting, seasickness and a
general mix-up Of wives and sweet
hearts. The return is eventually
made with only one near casualty.
But trouble with a capital T has just
started, as, between a balky machine.

the entire town at their heels on the
brief trip homeward. They also sue

Kaminskie's Jazz Band supplies the
musical setting with wonderful ef-
feet.
AS an added attraction is seen one
of the most unusual pictures shown
recently-"The Eternal Triangle"-a
Universal special in which no human
being appears. all the characters in
well-grounded and perfectly devel-
oped plot being taken by dogs. Dogs
of every breed, dogs of every pedi-
gree, dogs of every station in life.
as, according to the picture, dogs do
ha' rdch social status. This attrac-
ito. ..iso caused most favorable COM
men, and seemed to meet with the
approval of everyone. AS a unique
film conception it cannot help but ap-
peal; as a comedy 1t made almost as
great hit as the main attraction.
