South Side
SOUTH SIDE men
PREDICT RAISE
IN HOG PRICES
Believe That Removal of En-
barge Will Cause Upward
Trend of Market; Demand
will 0utStrip Supply.

That the removal of the embargo
will mean a gradual and steady in
crease in the price of hogs is the
unanimous opinion among the South
Side commission men.
The unsettled condition incident
to the sudden removal of all re-
striction on the buying and selling
of hogs may cause a temporary
slump on the hog market, accord
ing to Gene Melady. This will not
last for more than two weeks at the
utmoRt. At the end of that time the
demand will far outstrip the sup
ply and the price of all pork prod
ducts will be forced up.
Commission men pointed to the
fact, that from IS to 90 per cent
of the hog supply in the country has
been exhausted. The section from
which the South Side market OBJ
tains its hogs is also nearly drained.
The scarcity of hogs in the east is
evidenced by the prices on the east
ern hog markets. Hogs on the east
ern markets sell at from 20 cents
to S1.15 higher per hundred pounds
than they do in Omaha. The Chi
cago price is $3.50 while in In
dianapolis, Pittsburgh, Buffalo and
the surrounding territory hogs are
sold for $1,000 per hundred pounds.
The Omaha market is quoted at
about Sl7.85.

BOY SCOUTS Are
CRITICISED BY
SUNDAY SCHOOL
Say That Movement Tends to
Keep Youngsters Away
From Church; Proper
Leaders Hard to Get.

The Boy Scout movement came
in for severe criticism at the after
noon session of the County Sunday
school session at the Westminster
Presbyterian church, in connection
with a general discussion of Sunday
school work with boys. Several
| speakers attacked the organization
on the ground that scoutmasters
frequently arrange hikes" and
camping trips that take the boys
away from home over Sunday and
thus keep them out of Sunday
school and church.
Among those who offered this OBJ
lection were D. V. Sholes. Rev. Mr..
Jensen, and w. H. Kimberly, BUSH
ness manager of the State Sunday
School association. Mr.. Kimberly
declared that the scout organization
has no place in Sunday school, and
that it should be considered and
maintained purely as a civic institu-
ton. He believed that the boys
should be organized in classes in
the Sunday schools, that they
should develop through the school
their outside activities, and that
they should be held to strict atten-
dance upon the church and Sunday
school sessions.
Proper Leaders Scarce.
DR.. A. A. DeLarme offered the
criticism that very often the proper
leadership and the proper place for
meeting could not be provided. He
stated that without strict discipline
Boy Scouts frequently become
destructive of church property and
create a good deal of expense
through breakage of furniture and
windows. Proper leaders, he said,
are as Scarce as hens teeth"
The same general criticisms we're
offered of the Camp Fire Girls. Rev.
Mr.. Lininger warmly defended the
Scouts, and expressed the belief that
the Scout organization properly be-
longs in the Sunday school and
church and that when rightly con-
Quoted becomes a most helpful in
stitution. The general principles of
the Scout movement were approved
by most of the speakers.
Discuss Work.
The convention session on Friday
included discussions of many phases
of Sunday school work. The morn
ing was given over to the elemen-
tary division. In the afternoon the
home department, the secondary di-
vision and the adult department
were made the subject of discus
sion.
An interesting feature of the after
noon was the children's hour. Hugh
Wallace led about 100 children from
various Sunday schools in the sing
ing Of a number of hymns. Fol-
lowing this Miss Margaret E.
Brown, state Sunday school secre-
tary. told several interesting stories
to the little folks.

BIG PACKERS MISUSE
 AND DIVERT CARS OF
 SMALL INDEPENDENTS
Own 90 Per Cent. of All Refrigerator Equip ment in Country Suit able for TranspOrta- ton of Fresh Meat.

Washington, Aug. 26.-De- claring that the step is neces- sary to control the business of the five largest packing com panies, the federal trade com mission in a special report to President Wilson recommends that operation of refrigerator cars and of cars used for trans portation of meat animals be declared a government mono poly.
 It recommends further that the property concerned, including icing stations and other facilities as well as the cars, be acquired by the govern ment and railroads thereafter be H. censed to own and operate them. The big packers, the report says, now own 90 per cent. of all the refrigerator equipment in the country suitable for the transport of fresh meat.
 ''The present countrywide system of distribution by the five big packers has grown from their control of re- frtgerator car lines in conjunction with various pools" the report says. "In turn, the volume of traffic of the five packers has enabled them to secure from the railroads advantages over competing shippers"
 ''Tho small independent packers cars are misused and diverted, ire quently being out Cf his service for extended periods in several instances as long as six months"
