CALLS MADE FOR
SERVICE MEDALS

Richmond and Madison county SOL
diers are making applications for the
special service medals, being pre-
pared by the government for all men
who served during the late war, and
it is expected that many of them wi
be here within short time. 1t
with difficulty that the eX-service men
could be interested, it is believed, as
matter of pride, in the medal prop
osition. However, they are beginning
to realize that Uncle Sam wants ev-
cry man who was in the service in
any way to have one, and it is for
this reason that more than 4,000,000,-
coo are being made. The medals are
engraved according to service, while
the composition of all is the same.
They are very meritorious, to say
the least, end should be possessed by
every one serving in the late war.
According to the rate at which ap-
plications are being made now, most
OF the soldiers will be heard from
it is believed, within a short time.
The time for the petitions being re-
ceived for the medals will expire next
month at an early date, hence the de-
sire of the Red Cross SERVE man, Mr..
Norman, to have the applications in
as soon as possible.

FLUCTUATIONS OF
BEEF PRICES
Abnormal Conditions Produced
By War Given AS Cause
Some Facts and Figures
By Associated Press)


Washington, July 28. - Unusual
| fluctuations in the price of dressed
beef occurred during the first six
months of this year, says a report of
the United States Bureau OF Markets.
Starting with a top price of S21 for
good grade beef in January, sharp
and erratic price changes marked the
trading throughout the period, with
the low top price of SIT recorded
during the last week in May and the
high point, $31, made on June %, an
increase of $14 a hunderd pounds in
80 days.
A series of unavoidable events,
most of them resulting from abnor-
NAL conditions produced by the war,
contributed to the phenomenal price
trends, the report says. Among the
principal disturbing influences de-
scribed are periodical releases by the
War Department of surplus stocks of
beef in an effort to reduce living cost,
higher stocker and feeder markets,
high priced feeds, fruition of produc-
ers' efforts to increase cattle produc-
ton for war needs and anticipated
foreign demands, labor troubles, de-
creased transportation facilities, en-
bargoes unsettled foreign credit and
Exchange conditions, decrease in beef
exports, financial credit restrictions,
declines in prices of Ff3es, tailow, and
other animal by--oroaa.tz ard de-
creased or spasrnuJic cons mlption of
meat.
In fact, the report says, every pos
sible economic factor incidental to
period of reconstruction and capable
of disturbing market conditions for
these products of the farm and
range had free ard almost unlimited
action.
Prices of livestock in the Chicago
market and those paid for dressed
carcasses are taken from New York
quotations from 10 days to two weeks
after the live cattle transactions also
showed wide fluctuations, the report
assert. The difference of 1925 per
100 pounds between prices for good
beef steers and the corresponding
grade of dressed carcasses in Janu-
ary was widened until it stood S1450
'nring the closing days of June For
sc same period the difference be-
s. cen the low price of medium steers+
Oh the hoof and in the carcass had
advanced from $6.25 to S12.75.
A comparison of live cattle prices
and prices on relative grades of
dressed meats on January and June
so this year with those of cores
ponding dates las YEAR shows the top
price for good beef beef steers at the
beginning of this year at S1S.75 and
at the end of June of S16.50 with the
opening top price on dressed beef from
such steers at $21 and the close at
$31. On January ?, 1919, live prices
for the same grade were up to Sits
and at the end of six months the top
stood at $14.6O, a decline of S3.15.
Good dressed beef on January last
year registered a top of S27 and on
June so had declined So to a top OF
$40.
