The voyage over was uneventful.
We landed at St. Lazane and
went from there to a casual camp
at st. Afghan, and from there to
the big engineer camp at Augers.
These casual camps were not
very pleasant places, and was
glad when they finally shipped
me out to Co. A. of the 7th. En-
gineers, who were then on a
quiet front in the Vosges noun
tains at St. Die. The 7th is an

orders came for an lover the

Aug. 18th the company COM

stay behind. so / missed the first
scrimmage. We finally left that
place after transforming it from
what the French called a "bon
sector" to a real warm place.
We were relieved by the 93rd
Division, the only negro division
over here. and they were some
comical bunch of shines.
From: st. Die we hiked four
days back to Remiremont for a
short rest and then were ship

were sure all in. The roads were
damned with trucks and guns
and marching troops. but as the
weather was so bad Hienie did
not get wise. and the Yanks
slipped one over on him.
After spending the night in
St. Jean we moved up to the third
line trenches. and in the even
ing we cut a path through the
barbed wire clear over to Hienie's
wire and then filled up places in
our three lines of trenches, max
ing a road for the tanks. We
finished at ten o'clock and went
down in the dug-outs to wait
for the word to 60. The bonn

midnight, and it sounded as

CUT MEAT PRICES?
That Is the Hope of Kansas Livestock
Association.


Promise of a generous reduction in
the retail price of meat to the con-
sumner is made by officials of the Kan
sas Livestock association, when it
puts in operation a number of dem
onstration shops" Plans for the early
naturalization of this plan will be
discussed tomorrow at a meeting of
Kansas stockmen in Kansas City, it is
said.
"A number of livestock men have
offered to finance these undertakings"
said J. H Mercer. secretary of the as
ISOLATION. Two plans are being dis
cussed-one to handle the cattle to be
slaughtered direct from the producer
to the slaughter house. and another is
to purchase the carcasses from the
packers in the regular way, just as the
retailer receives them
I'VE are not charging the retailer
with profiteering, because we do not
know just how he is handling his own
business or what is absorbing the large
margin between what he pays for the
carcass and what he charges the con-
sumner. What we claim is that this
margin is unreasonably large and
should be reduced from so to 100 per
cent.
THE open quotations on beef on
foot and on beef carcasses tell the
story. The packer places a carcass
on the block in the butchers shop, at
a pound. The best beeves-the high
est quotation-is $22.5O a hundred,
and only few shops handle this class
of meat exclusively"
Secretary Mercer said tentative
plans have been made for esta blishing
Kansas City. Kan, one at Emporia
and one other point. not yet definitely
decided upon, and probably at other
points later.
