ernment. reduced the size Of their
beef portions and regularly left beef
off their menus. Private families by
thousands did likewise. Farmers and
ranchmen exerted themselves to the
utmost at great risk in order that oar
soldiers and sailors could have the
best food that skill and loving care
could produce. The result is history
From an export Of beef and beef prod
ucts of 15l. 900 pounds In 1914. we
exported 5900O0,OOO pounds of beef
md beef products In 19lS-almost
Iualing the great surplus of 1901,
when our population was $4,000. 900
people less than now. The exports OF
1918 were treble the three-year pre-
war average.
Europe Does Not Need Beef.
The war Is over In little while
the presence of American soldiers In
Europe will be memory OF noble
sacrifices. We must not forget that
the principal use for the beef we
shipped over seas In such quantity
was for the men In uniform. Europe.
short OF food though II is. does not
need beef from the United States so
much as II needs our pork. The stocks
OF cattle In the most of Europe have
not suffered seriously In numbers dur
ing the war. Indeed, outside the areas
actually overrun by the contending
armies, cattle stocks have fairly held
their own and in some cases even In
creased. Stocks OF hogs and sheep
have suffered much more severely
than have cattle. II Is also well known
that Europe turned to South America
and Australia for beef and lamb as
soon as shipping conditions permitted.
England and Italy are now buying In
those markets. The United States,
however. Is the only large pork sur
plus nation. and Europe. suffering for
fats with her stocks of swine greatly
reduced. can consume our pork sur
plus readily. The beef and lamb now
awaiting market on our farms and
ranges must. therefore, find its outlet
not overseas but at home.
Prices Compared.
II Is important to present the facts
concerning the prices for live stock
and the prices for meat wholesale and
retail. The following comparison ex-
hlbits the decline In the prices of cat
tie on foot:

Mean per cent decline, % per cent
The alleged reason for this situa-
tion is the stoppage OF export for
army use abroad and the failure of
civilian beef consumption to resume
Its normal status. The hotel and high
class family trade are not consuming
the quantities of choice beef which
they used before the war. and the fam
lilies of moderate income are eating
only cheaper cuts, the price OF which
must compensate in part for that OF
the cuts for which there is a smaller
demand. The fact is evident that
many persons who desire to eat more
meat. especially beef and lamb, are
denying themselves.
No Need for Conservation.
People do not realize that the ne
cessity for conservation Of foods, espe-
cially meat. no longer exists, except
as n matter of reasonable economy
and prevention of sinful waste. We

According to Workman, he has receiv-

case he said the complainant had

Workman was OF the opinion that
the power company would be willing
to make certain conc essions In order
to improve the .'skipstop" in sections
Of the city where II was claimed that
the measure had failed. Alderman

Mr.. Workman and introduced a reso-
luton which would table the measure
until the next m Getting OF the COM

Considerable discussion took place

advocated that the "skipstop" measure
be declared void, IN view Of the fact
that It was passed as a war measure
