The steadily mounting price Of
meat of all kinds is source OF wor-
ry to every housekeeper. ]. c. Schu-
ster of the Valley Market, says that
he is now compelled to buy most Of
his dressed meat from Yakima as
local farmers are selling their stock
to outside buyers, often at prices less
than the market. Mr.. Schuster fur
Their said that if he could purchase
the meat on the hoof direct from
farmers here they would realize more
for the stock and he would be able
to sell cheaper because transpo-ta-
ton costs. both in taking out the
livestock and bringing in the dressed
meat, would be eliminated.

 FEDERAL EMPLOYES
 CONFAD RETURNS

At the 10th biennial convention recently in session at Sault Ste. Marie, Mich. where Alaska was represented by her popular dele gate, Ralph Priddy of Anchorage, President Luther c. Steward. lead of the national federation of fed eral employees for the past II years, was reelected to office.
 The 150 delegates from 332 local unions situated in every state Of the Union, Alaska, Porte Rico, the Philippines, Hawaii and the Pan- anna Canal Zone, listened with m tense interest to the hearty greet ing of former Governor Chase s. Osborn of Michigan who, in his ad- dress, welcomed them to the Lock City.
 The former governor congratu- lated them on raised standards of employment, and declared that the manner in which federal service is conducted is refutation of the charge that government work is not as we'll performed as private industry He is quoted as saying:
 My attention is called to condi- tions here at Sault Ste. Marie nearly a half century ago. At that time the men on the government payroll were poorly paid. Even the lower cost of living and the higher purchasing power of money they barely eked an existance. The same was true of the customs service and the weather bureau, the reve- nue work, the post office, the life saving service, now the coast guard and in the repair and construction activities. It was a mirror of gov ernment labor conditions all over
