"A SANDER Refuted!

Colfax Louisiana, December 81, 1919.
Whereas has beenreported to us that Mr. H. L. Brian
and other speakers Grant Parish have several
sons repeated the slanerous statement that Col Frank P
Stubbs was harsh nconsderate and overbearng toward
his men, and held himself aloof and disagreeaby above
them and that he not entitled to credit due for his
army SERVICE because he avoided many of the hardshps
of service by securing for himself detail in the City Of
Paris by which he escaped hardshps through which 9TH
ers passed. we the undersigned service men who We're
lin COL Stubs command desire to refute said SANDERS
and state alphabetically that from our own knowledge,
after being with him at Camp Beuregard and in France,
Col Stubs always kind and consderate of his men
and he never held himself aoof from them any than
strict discipline and military regulations required.
All of said ISLANDERS have foundation in fact. They
utterly unique and unworthy of repetition by honoa
bile men who desire to deal fairly and justly with their Eel

for him in the Democratic primary election JAM TO- 1920

HIGH PRICES
REDUCED BEEF
CONSUMPTION
Exports Of Beef Reported to
Have Fallen OFF, Sc
Per Cent.

Washington, March 12:-High re-
tail prices lin 1919 reduced the per
capita consumption of beef in Amer
lea almost eight pounds and caused
the consumer to- turn more frequent
ly to, veal and mutton, according to
a statement today by the department
OF agriculture. 's
Less pork was eaten but the total
consumption Of pork products was
much larger than in 1917 and the ex-
ports Of pork and lard were greater
than ever shown in the records Of the
department. The total meat con-
was less than in 1918, the
per capita for 1918 being 1908 and
that In 1s19,' 1873.
Beef exports were shown to have
fallen or 56.8 per cent but the ship
ments OF pork and lard to foreign
ports showed a great increase. The
hogs, weighing 200 pounds apiece
Less pork and lard were consumed
in America but the number of hogs
slaughtered was q million more than
ia 1918, r.
Reduction in foreign orders was
the heaviest blow received by the
beef industry. The exports declined
56.S per cent from the previous year.
The department attributed the falling
of of exports to the return of Eu-
ropean countries to- the cheaper
sources of supply in South America
and Australia. The decrease in for
eign orders for beef was so large
as to bring down the total meat pro-
duction in America four per cent low
er than the previous year when pack
ers were supplying a great part of
the European market due to the i'm
practicability OF obtaining meats
from Argentina and other markets
patronized before the war. -.
Figures supplied by the department
show the American people ate more
veal and mutton than during the war
but the percapita consumption Of
goat meat, never large, was only o.0s
pounds. '4
