PER CAPITA MEAT
CONSUMPTION SCARS
Total for 1888 Exceeds Previous
Years Level by More Than
Billion Pounds.
BY the Associated Press.


SIOUX CITY, Iowa. January 27-
The per capita consumption of meat
in the United States during 1888
amounted to about 143 pounds, John
H. Moninger of the Institute of Ameri-
can Meat Packers, Chicago. today told
a regional meeting Of the United States
Junior Chamber of Commerce
The grand total was about 18,000,-
GOO 900 pounds, or-more than 1,000,-
100000 pounds greater than in 1882,
he said.
Although consumption showed q
large increase over the preceding year,
production of live stock and meats was
relatively greater than the purchasing
power Of consumers" he said. las Q
result, the prices of both meat and live
stock reached low levels"
Pork, he said, led the list, reaching
a new high level in production that,
according to the best figures avail
able, was the greatest amount of
one kind of meat ever produced in this
country.

that he did not come right back for
more. 1t Is different now when fight
ing on the baseball diamond is sheer
rowdyism and players Of rival teams
play golf together in the mornings.
In McGraw's doggedness lay the
secret Of his unusual success. To q
remarkable degree he combined ag-
gressiveness with tenacity. The re-
suit was victory In battles where other.
and perhaps better, men might have
failed.
But with it all he was great sports
man and he possessed one Of the fin

ing man. He could forgive and for

bored no grudge. Each day offered

II Smacks of Confession

IL 01tl0CAS VI OVNACSSlOlu
There are more than few indica-
tions that the administration got off
on the wrong foot in cancelling those
airmail contracts.
On at least two separate occasions
Postmaster General Farley has as
sured the people that they will sup
port the action when they know all
OF the facts, but as yet the facts have
not been forthcoming and the matter
remains very much up in the air.
Now the administration moves
quickly to restore carrying Of the mails
to private niers. Prices will be re-
duced somewhat, as they undoubtedly
should be, but the job Of carrying the
mails will be returned to those who
wish to make a business of it. Re-
sumption Of service to this area by the
Northwest Anyways would seem to In
dictate that 1t hopes to be restored to
the good graces Of the government and
permitted to bid on future contracts.
Meanwhile, Bismarck Is grateful
that It still has air service and will
wish the company the best Of luck in
its efforts to repair its fortunes.
That there was too much high fin
hncs IN the upper circles of the avia-
ton industry Is obvious enough from
the material offered In evidence at
the senate inquiry. That the govern
meut took the best means Of dealing
with the situation remains to be prov
ed.

Standpatism's Drawbacks

It is good news to the western wheat
farmer that the government plans to
open q new allotment campaign to
sign up growers in states east OF the
Mississippi river who were cool to-
ward the proposition when 1t first was
advanced last summer.
Production on the average North
Dakota farm would equal that OF q
dozen farms in Indiana or Ohio, where
corn Is the chief crop, but the grain
from those stray forties would do
much to add to the surplus, or at
least prevent its reduction.
The fact that these farmers have
expressed a desire to Join the control
movement is, therefore, encouraging
to the effort to restore prices.
What caused them to change their
minds Is another matter. It may be
merely proof Of the old adage that the
proof OF the pudding Is in the eating.
When they saw their western brothers
collecting cash from the government
for doing something that all Of them
agree ought to have been done long
ago, they may have decided that ag-
ricultural standpatism has its draw
backs after all.
