Are the great stock yards Of Chi
cago, Kansas City, Omaha and else.
where hotbeds of monOpolistic control
which succeeds In mulcting the farm
er ON the one hand, and the consumer
who buys meat, on the other hand?
This will be one Of the questions
threshing over in the discussion Of the
Kenyon bill now before committee Of
the Senate.
If these big markets, where millions
upon millions Of dollars change hands,
have any sort Of a strangle-hold on
our food resources, few there would
be who would not say, rout them. Yet
equally few, perhaps, could give you
any sort Of vivid word-plcture of
what takes place In these markets
through which flows much of our farm
wealth.
Separate From Packing Plants.
The "stock yards" are synonymous
in the minds of many people with all
packingdom. This is error number
one. They are operated as corpora
lions wholly distinct from the packing
plant companies that cluster around
them.
The stock yards perform two func-
tions: they are unloading, feeding
and resting stations for live stock and
markets for buying and selling. As
buying and selling places, they are
among the most interesting spots in
the workplaces where one may see
a nation at It's barterlng. Huge auc-
ton stations where a fraction Of q
point counts, and counts big.
The Chicago stock yards, as the
most notable example, will receive in
day anywhere from 10000 to 10000
cattle, not to mention hogs and sheep
These would represent shipments by
many farmers. Each farmer puts his
cattle into the hands Of a commission
firm who acts as his agent. The "stock
In trade" of the commission firm Is a
satisfied clientele among the farmers
the better bargainers they are for a
Icing price, the more the farmer is dis
posed to patronize them.
A Game for Experts.
1t Is a titanic game, and one for ex-
perts. On the one side are arrayed
the commission men, and on the other
the buyers representing packing con-
Germs, brokers and others. Both sides
know their business, which is to say
that they know full well what the re-
ceiptS of the day are and their rela-
ton to the requirements, and they
know cattle.
The big auction begins. Not from
a block, but an auction for all that
Buyers, mounted on ponies, scurry
hither and thither, making a bid or
enc lot here and on another lot there
The commission man will hold the bic
in allegiance, dickerlng for few points
higher price and awaiting the arriva
OF another man on pony who may
make him better offer. Every com
mission man is competitor of all the
other commission men and every buy
er Is competitor Of all the other buy
ers.
We say that all of these men know
cattle. A steer Is not a standardized
commodity. Nature makes him wha
he is. The contour of his launches
the build of his body and his makeup
In general have everything to do will

SMALL PACKERS OPPOSE LICENSE

Cincinnati meat packers in drawing
resolutions against the licensing Of
all packers doing interstate business,
brought attention to the fact that the
proposed legislation embodied in the
Kenyon and Kendrick bills, If enacted,
would have tendency to drive hun
dreds Of small packing firms out of the
field Of interstate operations. This
would be the preference forced upon
them as against operating under a IL
censlng system which would be a con-
tinued menace of interference.

last week under the direction of Mrs.

This work is being carried on in

PROSPECTS FOR NEW ICE PLANT

The promoters of the proposed new
Ice manufacturing plant for Paris
are confident Of ultimate success, and
their optimism Is Of the very cherri-
est sort. The encouragement they
have received in the past two weeks
from those having spare capital they
are willing to invest, and who have
not hesitated to express their conf
dence in the outcome, is SUFFICIENT
sunshine for them. They say they
simply cannot be downed, and that
the game is one that is we'll worth
playing.
In the past few days large amounts
OF stock have been subscribed from
the county precincts, where up until
recently little had been expected.
Talk of erecting small plants in Mil
lersburg and North Middletown was
rife for time, but now it seems that
most of the investors in those pre-
cincts have been making inquiries
and to some extent taking stock in
the Paris project

Apropos of the move the Elem

upon to remark in it's last issue:
f'Paris people are organizing a new
company to build a new ice plant for
that city. And perhaps next sum-
mer will be so cool that we will not
need ice."

NATURE PUTS ON THEATRICAL
STUNT WEDNESDAY NIGHT

II was like a scene in the movies
Wednesday night, when old Dame
Nature turned loose all the elements
and for a time gave the thirsty old
earth a genuine bath after long
dry spell. Following a long period
of hot weather, punctuated at infre-
ouent intervals with promises OF
showers. there was a genuine hlgh
old time Wednesday night, when a
storm of lightning, wind and thun-
der. with a heavy downpour of rain,
visited this section.
So far as has been reported from
the city and county there was no
damage done in any section OF the
county. and the downpour was not
sufficient to make any appreclaple
effect on the streams of the county.
The rain was q welcome one, in that
it served to refresh the parched veg
citation, and will be Of great value
to the growing crops, such as nave
not already been parbaked by the not
rays of the sun.

FREIGHT SERVICE RESUMED.

With the return of the striking
railway shopmen of the Louisville q
Nashville to their work in this city
and at other points along the line,
the interrupted freight service of the
road has been resumed, and all kinds
of shipments are going forward, with
the exception of those consigned to
certain foreign roads, where the
strikers are still out.
Officials of the road announced
yesterday that the embargo on all
freight shipments had been lifted
except in the Atlanta territory. This
means that livestock and perishable
goods will again be accepted for ship
ment from Paris.
When asked yesterday If any fur,

the striking workmen who have re-
turned to their work have apparently

Wilson. All freight trains were ar
irving and departing on their regu
lar schedule time yesterday. Ions

ANDREW CARNEGIE PASSES
OVER THE GERAT DIVIDE

Andrew Carnegie, steel magnate
and philanthropist, died at his sum-
mer home at Lenox, Mass, Monday,
after an illness of less than three
days of bronchial pneumonia. His
death was so sudden his daughter,
Mrs. Roswell Miller, was unable to
get to his bedside. His wife and
private secretary were with him at
the end.
Although Mr.. Carnegie was taken
ill Friday, it was not until early
Monday his condition took a critical
turn. Saturday it was said he was
suffering from severe cold, but it
apparently was not different from
other attacks he had endured and no
fear was entertained that it would
prove fatal. 1t was announced he
was remaining in doors under the
care of nurses. Outside the immedi-
ate household, no one had any init
nation that death was near.
Funeral services were held at
Shadow Brook on yesterday morning
at II o'clock. The services were
attended only by members of the
household. The body was taken by
special train to Sleepy Hollow, Tar
rytown, N. Y, where Mr.. Carnegie,
years ago, bought lot, and where
he always desired to be buried.
Paris has especial cause to revere
the memory of Mr.. Carnegie, as
through his generosity the Paris
Public Library was made possible,
the Paris Baptist church received a
donation of $3.50 for their new
pipe organ, and Paris boy, Mr..
Alex T. Rice, Jr., received a hand
some bronze medal donated by the
Carnegie Hero Commission.
AS a mark of respect to the MEM
DRY of the dead philanthrophist the
Paris Public Library closed during
the hours of the funeral yesterday
morning.

IMMENSE STOCKS OF FOOD IN
NEW YORK COLD STORAGE.

Government figures show that
there is now in storage, held for
higher prices in New York or ship
ment abroad, .000.OQ0,O0W pounds
100000 tons) of food.
These figures, astounding in them4
selves, are little less than amazing
when it is recalled that during June
exports amounted TO. $11,S00,000,
and July undoubtedly crossed the
81 900, 100000 mark for the first
time in the country's history 1t is
reasonable to assume that an equal
figure will be set for August.
How much of this inordinate guam
tity of food-all ready for consumpl
tion-is locked up in the 1913 pri-
vate and the 10 licensed cold storage
warehouses in and about New York
will never be determined unless the
owners are placed on the witness
stand and forced to divulge the facts.
Quite naturally they are not telling
their own business or that of their
customers at time when the gov.
eminent is making extraordinary ef-
forts to determine why the cost Of
living continues to mount.
In addition to these cold storage
warehouses in this vicinity hundreds
of loft buildings, barns, breweries
and other structures are being used
for so-caIled dry storage" Here
goods which do not need refrigera-
tion can be safely hidden away for
indefinite periods.
