FOOD PRICES IN
CHICAGO TUMBLE
Meat and Vegetable Markets
Now Showing Signs.
of Relief

Chicago, Aug. 20. - Hope for lower
living costs was again realized yes
terday when hogs and cattle dropped
one cent a pound. Since Wednesday
pork has lost S2.75 a barrel, ribs
declined $500 per one hundred
pounds and lard dropped $3.50.
The rapid tumble is attributed to
three causes. The drive against the
high costs, the housewives boycott
against excessive prices and the
fear of farmers that there Will be a
drop in the market. This latter has
caused the market here to be glutted
as farmers want to sell While the
selling is good.
There was not corresponding de-
cline in retail prices. however. and
butchers explained they would have
to get rid of meats they bought at
high prices before the public would
benefit. They thought the public
ought to stand the loss rather than
themselves.
Comparison of retail meat prices
to-day with those of two weeks ago
show some relief from the high cost
of living. At some shops beef por-
terhouse that had been selling at
forty-five cents a pound could be
bought for thirty-two cents. other
cuts OIL meats ilsiu uSNllllSt III PA
portion.
The vegetable list showed the
greatest change in favor of the con-
sumer. This was said to be due to
vegetables being more plentiful late
in the season. Potatoes that sold
for S1.2O a peck two weeks ago
could be bought for seventy five
cents and corn that sold at fifty cents
a dozen ears was bringing only
twenty cents.
These prices were a distinct help
to the housewives but they were not
reflected in the restaurants and down.
town lunch rooms. There the highest
prices ever known for foodstuffs in
Chicago continued to be charged.
The corn that was bought for twenty
cents a dozen ears went over the
counter to the consumer at ten cents
each in the "one-arms" and twenty
cents an ear in other places, and if
you choose butter with your corn,
the little quarter ounce extracted
from two 20 four pennies.

SATURDAY GAMES
IN DIP. LEAGUE
Results May Decide Race;
, MarySville to Use Resi- =
dent Players
Dauphin-Pcrry Standing

To-morrow's Games
Marysville at Duncannon.
Port Royal at Newport.
The two Dauphin-Perry League
games scheduled tomorrow may
determine the ultimate standing OF
the league. Port Royal now has
paper chance of winning the pen
nant, while Newport has a similar
chance of tying up with the Marys-
vile leaders.
A victory for Marysville over Dun
cannon and a defeat of Port Royal
by Newport. would cince the pen
nant for Marysville. Victories for
both Marysville and Port Royal
would make it impossible for Port
Royal to do more than tie, while
Newport would be considered out of
the race.
Marysville will send its strongest
lineup to Duncannon where Mana
ger Stewart Duncan promises to
have his highest class aggregation
against the pace-setters. Marysville
has won all of the five contests
played by these teams this year, SO
Duncannon is eager for revenge to-
morrow. Duncannon revamped in
field has added materially to the
strength of the team, which will
shape as during the past several
, games. Ed. Stricken will lie on the
mound and "Os" Waltz will receive
, him.
No Change in Lineup
No change of any importance is
to be expected in Manager Stees'
, Marysville lineup. Keller may be
sent to right field, however. The
hurting selection for the game is
somewhat uncertain. Biever was on
the mound last week and Moer may
draw the call.
The game on Marshall Field,
Newport, will be of just as much in
terest as is the melee in which the
leaders take part. Both Port Royal
and Newport are tied for second
place, and each is to make a des-
perate attempt to shove the other
downward on the league ladder.
Resident Players Only
Newport will use a team made
up entirely of resident players. Ray
Lefty" Wertz will be Manager
Taylcrs hurting selection and
Kearns will be behind The bat. y.
Wagner will likely cover first TO-
morrow in the absence of his broth
er, Roy Wagner. H. Wagner. Doner
and Oren will likely be in the out
field, and the regular infield will be
used.
Port Royal will present practi-
cally the same team that it has
used since its entrance into the
league. Noah Hertzler is expected
to do mound duty, while Charley
Bailor will catch. Melvin Frank
house will be on third despite the
rumor to the effect that he would
be replaced, since his removal to
Mount Union.

Dirigibles may be used to advant-

Government, according to q high
war department official, who urges
the establishment of army airship
bases throughout this country and
the colonial possessions of the

to which the ships could be put,
says this authority, are chasing
criminals, guarding borders. making
crop surveys, cruising timber areas,
warning on destructive insects, es-
pecially the locust, and delivering
mail in regions where any other soft

Some New Verse

Among number of books Of verse
which have recently come to the re-
viewers desk. "Colorcd Stars" fllough-
ton Miffin Company, New York and
Boston), an anthology of Asiatic poetry
edited by f, Powys Mathcrs, stands out
as n pecul ary valuable and originai
contribution to our literature. MI
Mathcrs has collected his poems ana
songs from many sources. from China,
Japan, India. Persia. Arabia. Siam and
Afghanistan. Certain qualities are pc
culiar TO all this Oriental poetry hot,
burning passion. tropical richness OF
language. gorgeous imagery that sug
gcsts nothing so much as gigantic
poacock's tail with all its varieEatcd
colors spread out in the sun. The
characteristics Of the anthology are
admirably cxempiGed in these lines
from a Dughestan love song:
The antoope stricken by my bullet
Woons a red blood from lis wound
Which dye, with large red flowers
The field Of the blowing jasmine flowers OF
snow.
Your arms are whiter than the jasmine
A9.vcrs os snow
And your kiss is rcddcr thnn the blood Of
The antelope.
The mountains of Bech-Parma are great
cnouCh
But my love is greater
The wind screaming in the forest when the
wind Of Russia blows
Js milder than the desire that draws me to
thee.
The various TRANSACTIONS employed by
Mr. Mathers are invariably character-
ized By skill and vividncss, and the en-
tire collection reveals poetic htcra-
turc so rich and brilliant that It makes
the most oXtravagant flights Of occi-
dental fancy appear tame in compare
son.
A very different spirit appears in
"Poems,' by Edwin Curran The Four
Seas Company, 30 tom. Without any
prctonsc of deep or intricate thought,
without any display cf verbal pyro-
technics, Mr.. Curran po sesses the rare
art OF conjurinc uD images OF deep and
abiding beauty out Of very simple
themes. His nature poetry is char
ac4erized by the liquid clarity Of
Wordsworth. His numerous war poems,
voicing the common. almost uni
vcrsal scntimcnts OF patriotism and de-
cotton to the cause of America and the
Allies never sound stale and hack
neved: they are always transtigured
and illuminated by q tone OF genuine
feeling. Much oloQucnce, both in prose
and in verso, has been expended on the
theme Of lreland's s wrongs; but Mr..
Curran's poem, The Shamrock" is
touching and exquisite treatment Of
the subject that might well move the
heart OF the most stfinecked i'lster-
ite Mr.. Curran is a newcomer among
american poets; he should be wel-
coined and cherished; for We have AL
too few prophets OF the cult OF pure
beauty among us.
