SHARP CUT MADE
In MEAT PRICES
MANY OF WILMINGTONS BUTCHERS an
NOUNCE TWO TO FIFTEEN CENTSA
POUND REDUCTIONS.

The Evening Journal, of Whining
ton, last Friday evening published an
item telling of the prices for which
meats are retailing in that city. The
article is of interest in that it affords
comparison between prices being
charged in Wilmington and in Milford
The item is reproduced in full as fol-
MANY retail meat dealers of the
city have announced a reduction of
from to Is cents pound in the
retail price of meats.
To-day average prices, asked in the
local markets are: Pork loin chops
and roasts, rs cents as compared with
40 cents of a few weeks back; fresh
hams, 10 cents as compared with 20
cents two weeks ago; fresh shoulders,
II cents as compared with 21 cents Of
two weeks ago; smoked hams, % to
25 cents, as compared with 35 cents
of two weeks ago; round steaks at 20
cents as compared with SO cents about
four weeks ago; rump, pOrterhouse
and sirlOin steaks, 25 cents as COM
pared with 40 cents three weeks ago;
rib roast, % cents as compared with
80 cents two weeks ago; chuck roast,
IA cents as compared with 21 and %
cents three weeks ago. The reason
local dealers sell their pork meats so
cheap is because they kill and dress
their own hogs, they say.
"a movement is on foot among the
retail meat dealers TO form similar
association to the one operated by the
retail grocers in an effort to secure
concerted action in buying demands,
and thus give to their patrons the low
est possible retail prices despite the
decrease in retail prices Of beef. Off
cials of Swift and Company and Ar
mour Company, denied that any real
changes, in wholesale fresh meat
prices had been made by the packers
recently, although heavy reductions
were made one month ago. Smoked
ham prices have dropped in the past
few weeks from 80 and 81 cents to 25
and 26 cents a pound, however, the
packers said"
On the same day that this was pub
lished, loin of pork was selling in Mil
ford for 80 cents.

TINY CHRISTMAS CARDS

A campaign to discourage the use
of small sized Christmas cards and
envelopes has been inaugurated by the
Postoffice Department. Small sized
cards and envelopes, it is declared,
are responsible for incalcuable delay
during the Christmas rush of postal
business. Because of their miniature
size they cannot be run through the
canceling machines, making it neces-
sary to do this work by hand.
The POstoffice Department has fixed
the smallest size of Christmas greet
ings and cards which can be conven-
iently sent through the mails at 2A
to 4 inches.

and Pastor Vogel, Arrive.

Doom, Holland, Nov. 1.-The
Duchess OF Brunswick, daughter of
former Emperor William Of Get-
many, accompanied by her suite
and Pastor Vogel Of Potsdam, ar
rived in Doom this evening. Pas
tor Vogel is to celebrate the re-
ligious ceremony when Princess
Hermine of Reuss and William are
married.
Count Won Moltke, who fills the
office of Marshal" of williams
tiny court, curtly refused today TO
give any information whatever re-
garding the arrangements for the
wedding. That certain discrimin-
alton is to be exercised seems to
have been shown by the fact that
George Sylvester Viereck, we'll
known as German-Amerlcan
publicist, arrived here a few days
ago and dined with william at the
former emperor's special invita-
ton. The Dutch authorities are
equally as secretive as the mem
bers of Williams encourage.
There are q number Of rumors
afloat which 1t has been impos-
sible to verify. Included among
them Is one to the effect that
Princess Hermlne has never left
Doorn Castle since her arrival
there and will only leave for the
sake of appearances next Satur-
day, returning on Sunday for the
wedding. 1t has been learned that
former Crown Prince Frederick
William will arrive here tomorrow
at noon.

Bursum Has Bill.
1.-THE only compensation bill now
before congress is the one l drew
up and introduced just before ad-
journment. It adjusts three phas-
es of the soldiers pay: first, it
| returns to him his money taken
out of his pay to pay allotments;
second, it returns to him his insur-
ance premiums; and, third, 1t gives
ito him the same bonus that was
given to civilian employes-s20 q
month.
Senator Borah failed to vote for
| the previous bill because he could
not see what it adjusted, My bill
answers his question, and he and
every other senator can vote for it
Iwholeheartedly. 1t requires pay
ment of half within a year and the
balance at the end of three years,
meantime drawing four per cent
interest"
The Santa Fe New Mexican was
characterized as republican
! newspaper in off-electlon years,
and a democratic paper during
every campaign Senator Bursum
drew shouts of laughter from his
audience with his description of
the policies of this newspaper.
Roasts Newspaper.
'They fought me year ago, and
1t was the best thing they could
have done for me. 1t gave me a
majority of 1000 in Santa Fe,
while the normal republican ma
jority is but 500. / am glad they
always oppose the republican tick
et," he declared.
"1n last Fridays issue they de-
voted half their space to miscon-
STRUNG my speech in Santa Fe.
I'm their headlines they accuse
me of calling ex-service men
lounge lizards, but down in the
body Of the 9 cccount of my speech
they do not say this. They quote
me accurately IS saying that the
legion should not allow itself to
be led by lounge lizard.
my definition of lounge liz
ard as applied to ex-service men
is one who used his political in
fluence and money--for this class
Of lounge lizards always had both,
lin order TO secure a commission
as lieutenant, captain, major or
colonel, and then used the same
means to get soft desk job
around some large city on this
side, where he could hang his feet
over desk and wear spurs to
keep them from slipping off.
IF the editor of the New MeXi-
can has friends of this class and
wishes to defend them, 1 can see
how he takes exception to my re-
marks. No one else will defend
them"
Senator Bursum read the pre-
amble to the constitution Of the
American legion and stressed this
phrase, ito combat the autocracy
of both the classes and the mass
es." He said 1t would be a viola
ton of this section 10 band itself
together as a political power and
try to whip its members into al
voting machine.
This constitution is one of the
greatest documents ever written,
and II followed, means much to
the future of America. But. al
though the legion has voted re-
peatedly at national conventions to \
keep out of politics, certain self
seeking politicians in New Mexico
are endeavoring TO enter politics
through the legion"

Agriculture
Protected

Senator Jones in his speech iii
Albuquerque on October 3Oth
said:
THE present tariff affords no
protection to the farmer and
livestock grower, the prices OF
whose products show that he
needs protection"
Senator Jones might truthful
ly have said that the democratic
Underwood Tariff afforded no
protection to the farmer, be-
cause by the terms of the Un-
derwood Act, farm products
were admitted to the United
States free of duty.
The present tariff bill was
framed for the purpose of safe
guarding agricultural interests,
and a heavy duty was placed
upon the products of farm and
ranch.
Compare the protection to the
farmer under the republican
measure and the democratic
Underwood Bill:
