PEOPLE WANT TO KNOW
WHAT THEY EAT-NOW
BY United Press.

Chicago. Sept 1O.-Americans are
off of food with fancy trick names.
1--WE don't put much French on our
menus now" Charlie Spieler, maitre
d'hotel of the Congress hotel, told
the United Press today.
ut used to be that people would
point to the French names on the
menu, with: Give me some of that.
"Now they want to know what
they are eating If 'oeufs la Sus-
etts' means eggs with baked potato,
they don't want to order eggs and
potato besides' Spieler admitted
that bread pudding and some other
such foods are still camoflaged.
1--WE still keep little French on
our bill-of-fare. 1t adds class, piqu-
ancy-like spice in salad" he said.
But all-French menus"-the maitre
d'hoel waved them away. "Never
again."
Spieler thought the anxiety tn eat
American food first" was due to the
war. Everything foreign went over
board then" he said

That the officials OF the Western
association at their meeting in Tulsa
yesterday were inclined to recognize
/, the contract held by Ray Winder.
manager OF the Chickasha club, with
DR. A. II. Leeds as representing the
Chickasha Baseball association. was
the statement this morning of Mr..
Winder Who returned last night from
Tulsa.
The contract provides a guarantee
of 5000 a day to Mr.. Winder for
every day the Chickasha club played
in Chckasha during the present
season. According to Mr.. Winders
figures, the receipts fell $3.50 short
for the first half of the season. No
figures for the second half have been
announced.
Mr.. Winder declared this morning
that the stand of the officials of the
league taken yesterday, was on the
ground that the league knew Dr. A
B. Leeds as the only representative
of the Chickasha Baseball assoca.

holders of the Chickasha Baseball
association, the contract was read
and upon ballot taken the action of
the stockholders refused to recognize
the contract, the claim of the local
association that Dr.. Leeds was not
authorized to make such contract.
George Il. LaMotte, president OF
the Western association will be in
Chickasha one day this week to go
into the matter, Mr.. Winder said
in an effort to get 1t Strengthened
out.
To Transfer Series Games
Mr.. Winder stated that the sense
of the Tulsa meeting was that the
post season games between Chick
asha, as the first half champions and
Ft. Smith, as winners of the second
half (their victory in the second lap
being taken for granted) be trans
ferred to ut. Smith, instead of play
ing part Of the games in Chickasha
and part in Ft. Smith.
The disposition to transfer the en-
tire series to TT. Smith. Mr.. Winder
stated, was because of the fact that
the Chickasha team had not been
drawing well at home and because
of the expressed belief by league Of
ficials that the series would not
draw here Mr.. Winder pointed out
that the team winning the second
half, and teams finishing second and
third in the second half race, have
a voice in the location of the series,
owing to the fact that they will all
participate in the receipts.
ut was the disposition of these
club owners to take the entire series
to Ft. Smith," said Mr.. Winder.

Washington. ID. C.. Sept. 1.-THE
Bureau OF the Census OF the Depart.
ment Of Commerce. announces sub.
ject to correction the following pre-
liminary figures from the 1920 cen.
sus of agriculture for the United
States, with comparative figures for
the proceeding census.
The total value OF livestock pro.
ducts of farms in the United States
in 1919. not including live stock sold
or slaughtered. according to the
Fourteenth Census, was $2.667, 1885,
/ 93l, as compared with $1.l77,97i,7OS
in 1909. There was therefore an in.
crease in value of livestock products
during the decade Of $1,lS9, ,76i,22S
or 1853 per cent This large increase
in the value of livestock products Is
due in part to the high prices which
prevailed during the year 1919.
The states which reported the
largest values for livestock products
in 1919 we're as follows: New York,
$225, 1885, ,739; Wisconsin, S213,022, ,023;
Pennsylvania, $i56,O12,OS1; Ohio,
$l55,5S7,91O; Illinois, $1i2,S5l ,262;
and Iowa, $3.50, ,25O,4l7
NaIuo of Dairv produnf.
The value of dairy products OF
farms in the United States in 1919
was $1,4Sl ,462,091, as compared with
$685. ,4G3 in 1909, representing an
increase of SS5,04S,62S, or 1884 per
cent. In 1919 dairy products consti-
tuted 55.5 per cent of the total value
of livestock products. as compared
with sos per cent in 1909 Dairy pro-
ducts comprise milk, cream, and but
ter fat sold, and butter and cheese
made on farms.
Seven states reported dairy pro
ducts valued at more than $70,000.
900, in 1919, as follows: Wisconsin,
$3.50, ,9O6,599 New York, $179695, $40;

increase of 53S,794,6 ,6S7, or 1858 per
cent. Had the figures for 1919 includ-
ed the products of all kinds of poul
try the increase would doubtless
have been somewhat larger. The
value of chickens raised and chicken
eggs produced in 1919 constitute 1913
percent of the total value of live
stock products of all kinds of poul-
try in 1909.
The states reporting largest values
