Private ownership of the railroads
under policy of government regula-

with fair returns on money invested In
them Is favored by representative
farmer organizations throughout the
country. This policy also Is supported
generally by agricultural newspapers,
which state emphatically that the
farmers are opposed not only to gov
eminent ownership of railroads, but
also to all naturalization plans.
In letter 10 the members Of the
United States Senate Il. G. Atkeson,
Washington representative Of the Ma.
tional Grange, which is said to be the
largest organization Of its kind In the
world, representing more than 1,0O0,-
600 farm owners I'm the United States,
states that the agricultural interests Of
the country approve of private owner
ship of the railroads and further de-
clares that persons purporting to speak
for the farmers in support OF govern

nor representatives of any consdera-
BILE number of farmers.
Favor Private Operation.
"rhe Grange" says Mr.. Atkeson,
quoting the official action of his or
ganlzation, approves OF the general
principles OF railroad legislation now
pending in Congress to return the rail-
roads TO their owners, to bring about
the reorganization of the railroad COM

CUTS THAT COST LESS HAVE
HIGH FOOD VALUE.

From Maine to California women
purchase meat In practically the san&
way. Nine out of ten have learned
for years, as do some even now, that
the more expensive and most tender
cuts Of meat must naturally be most
nutritious and that the cheaper and
tougher cuts are to be discarded or
not realizing IL they purchase only the
tender cuts, he must keep the prices
high enough to cover the loss Of what
Isn't sold. Our leading dietitians Of
today are teaching the women that the
tougher cuts of meat are exactly as
nutritious as the more tender. If not
more so, because the blood Is drawn
to the parts In which the muscles are
constantly used.
In a beef animal Of 500 pounds
about rs pounds are tender meat, the
loln In the hind quarter composed of
sirloin, porterhouse and single steaks
and the prime ribs of the fore quarter.
These two commercial cuts being the
most tender are most In demand and
every butcher. no matter what the 10
cality, will tell you he has no difficulty
In disposing Of them. The difficulty
lies In selling the cheaper cuts as well
as the extra meat portions.
The greatest trouble in selling the
cheaper cuts comes from the fact that
women do not know how to cook them
to make them palatable. A long slow
cooking Is the secret Of converting
tough meat into delightfully."- tender
roasts or steaks. Excellent dishes may
be served from flank, chuck, rump
steak or neck, providing the meat is
carefully seasoned, scared to seal in
the juices and then cooked to deli
cate brown. This necessitates a mod
crate temperature.

Views Of Farmer Papers.
The American Agriculturlst states
editorially that the farmers are dead
set against" the "scheme to enmesh the
farmers In the web Of radicalism."
The Pennsylvania Farmer discussing
the general demand for private opera
ton Of the railroads, says: "It Is espe-
cially true Of farmers, in spite of the
declaration of few would be leaders
to the contrary" The Stockman-
Farmer adds:
Farmers almost unanimously ap-
prove the return Of the railroads and
the express companies to their owners.
The reason Is that farmers, as well as
other business men, want service of
these institutions, and they cannot get
such service under public operation es
they can get under the operation of
corporations, which have a direct finan-
ciaI interest In performing it,"

How to LowerY our Meat Bills
Hints From the Department of
Justice
Justice

Just as many tender expensive
steaks are ruined In cooking by keep
ing on the fire too long; tougher ones
are condemned because of the lack Of
the proper cooking. Whereas a long
slow cooking will ruin porterhouse.
1t only adds to the excellent qualities
Of rump or round steak.
For every meat animal handled
there Is a heart, liver, kidney, tripe,
tongue, sweetbread, tail and head to
be used. We know that an animal has
to have neck, fore and hind shanks.
legs and shoulders to hold together the
choice loin and ribs.
What is true of the cuts of beef Is
likewise true Of other meats.

AS a preliminary to the financial

held in nearly every county of tho
state at which the complete program
