tries, has issued statement giving
the terms Of the Supreme court per-
petual injunction against the packers,
and the report Of the Federal Trade
commission on the practices Of the
big Five" which the council says
shows that the Kenyon-Anderson bill
to control the packers is absolutely
necessary. The statement says:
Mock U. S. Supreme Court.
ION May 2G, 1908. preliminary in
junction against Swift & Co., the Cud-
ahy Packing Co., the Hammond Pack
Ing Co., Armour Il Co., the Armour
Packing Co., Edward Morris, Nelson
Morris, and Ira N. Morris, co-partners
under the name of Nelson Morris 4
Co., sand other packers, was made per-
petual by the United States Supreme
court on April II, 1906"
Fifteen Years Of Contempt.
This perpetual injunction restrained
the defendants, the packers, and their
agents and attorneys ''from entering
into, taking part in. or performing any
contract, combination or conspiracy"
the effect Of which will be Il restraint
Of trade, in violation of law either "by
directing or requiring their respective
agents to refrain from bidding against
each other at the sales Of livestock"
or "by combination, conspiracy or con-
tract, raising or lowering prices or fix
ing uniform prices at which said meats
will be sold" 1t also enjoined the
packers from violating the provisions
Of the antitrust laws, "by combining
or conspiring together, or with each
other and others to mOnopOlize or
attempt to monopolize any part of the
trade and commerce in fresh meats
among the several states and terri
tories and the District Of Columbia,
by demanding, obtaining, or receiving
from railroad companies or other COM
mon carriers, transporting such fresh
meats, either directly or by means of
rebates, or by any other device, trans
portation Of or for such meats"
What Packers Did.
The Federal Trade commission In its
report on the meat packing Industry
states:
The power Of the Big Five in the
United States has been and is being
unfairly and illegally used to:
Manipulate livestock markets;
Restrict interstate and interna-
tional supplies Of foods;
Control the prices Of dressed
meats and other foods;
Defraud both the producers Of
food and consumers;
Crush effective competition;
Secure special privileges from
railroads, stockyard companies,
and municipalities; and,
Proflteer."
Something Stronger Needed
1t Is clear that the Big Five Pack.
ers" have been violating the essential
terms OF the perpetual injunction is-
sued by the Supreme court. It is clear
that the proposed agreement between
the department Of justice and these
packers who have continu.
ously violated the Injunction as well
as the antitrust laws is not sufficient
In order to control the five big pack.
ers the kenyon-Anderson bill must be
promptly enacted by congress.

'The Boy Stood on the Burning Deck

fyYYHEN Josephus Daniels, secretary " of the navy, was attending school down at Wilson, N. O.. it was custom ary every Friday afternoon for one section of the school to give declama- tions from the platform. One Friday a dozen of the boys comprising all who were to speak that day, got their heads together and conceived the merry prank of giving the same piece, one after another. The piece they were to give was one that starts: "On Linden when the sun was low, All bloodless lay the untrodden snow"
 By the time eight or nine of the jocular youngsters had given these inn perishable lines the schoolmaster was aroused to a considerable state of ire and dignity.
 He sat through one or two more, and then when the twelfth boy was about to speak, promulgated this;
 If another one of you dares give that same piece he will remain after school. and I shall give him some thing that will set him thinking"
 Josephus Daniels was the next boy. He and his companions had entered into a solemn compact all to give that same little piece, come

XkTASH1NGTON.-I Is the belief of w the secretary of the interior that with an appropriation of $12,000 0OO, broadly speaking, 100000 acres of land could be opened for entry under the reclamation act, and he stated that there would be an opening of farms within two months for few thousand acres in the Shoshone (Wyoming) project. Secretary Payne has returned to Washington from trip of inspec- tion of two of the governments great Irrigation projects at Yakima, Wash, and Shoshone, Wyo.

 'The second highest dam in the United States has been built at Sho- shone. They have made the dam oQ both branches of the Shoshone river and the water above is six miles wide and extends a distance of ten miles. This body of water will irrigate 226,- GOO acres of land. Sixty-six thousand acres are now available if congress will provide money enough to build canals to the various lands.
 "In round numbers 226,000 acres is the quantity which the dam will pro vide water for. By furnishing $12,- 100000 more 100000 acres could be opened in small farms, say from 15 to 25 acres The land is so fertile that farm of 15 acres seems to sat isfy them. In Yakima, Wash, they raise from GOO to 900 bushels of po- tatoes on an acre of this ground.
 "Since the primary purpose of this reclamation law was to create homes, 1t has justified all its opponents claimed for 1t; for on the government project lands are 10000 families in independent homes. The government reservoirs are supplying 2,780,00o acres and on these reclaimed acres there are 100000 people profitably employeed.'

He was evidently an eX-soldier and an art lover. The first you could tell by the American Legion button he wore, the second by the artistic touch in his manner and theme of speech.
 Another youth was sitting near him on the steps of the city library. He may or may not have sought art as Emerson paints it for us.
 "Didia see the Louvre when you were in Paris?" asked the youth who may or may not have cared for art.
 "Yah," replied the ex-soldier. And, say, don't believe this stuff you hear about it bein' fine gallery. I went all through it, and it an't nothin' but q big department store."

 Chicken which will not cook tender may be made so by the addition of a teaspoonful of alcohol in the water. Vinegar will also soften the fiber of meat, tablespoonful to the kettle of stew.
 To make mint extract, pick the fresh leaves of mint, wash and dry and pack into a bottle as full as pos sible; cover with alcohol and let stand two weeks, then strain and bottle for future use. This is the real stuff and one need not fear to use it.
 Buckles, beads and buttons of pol ished steel may be beautifully cleaned by covering with unslaked lime and leaving for short time.
 Suede shoes or slippers may be rubbed with emery paper and they will look like new.
 Dry bran is very valuable for clean ing purposes, as is cornmeal Rub it into fur, where the soiled spots are, rub harder, then brush off. Ermine and delicate furs are cleaned well in this way.
 Velvet coat collars and collars of mens' coats may be cleaned easily with cornmeal wet with gasoline and rubbed well into the pile of the velvet or collar and then brushed out. Care should be taken to keep away from all fire
