"I am gathering proof Washington. which will show that American farm products are being sold cheaper abroad than they are in this country," declared Secretary of Agriculture Wilson on Monday at the "high cost of living" hearing being conducted by a of the House committee on the District of Columbia. Mr. Wilson gave evidence to show that the producer at the present time was getting a little more than formerly for his food products, while the ultimate consumer was paying an ex cessive price.

LANDIS CLAIMS THE HONOR. Villages Submerged and Houses Collapse When Waters Weaken the Foundations. Homeless Are Suffering. Paris. Floods have exceeded all records and are fast assuming the proportions of a national disaster. In the northeast, and west, hundreds are homeless and ruined. Although It Is Impossible to estimate the damage, it will be great. One of the water mains, serving one of the most populous districts, burst and the people of tbe district are without water. It is feared that the city will be In a like condition soon, as the flood is invading the pumping stations. The compressed air factory, which supplies elevators in Paris, also has been forced to shut down. Officials of tbe prefecture are finding great difficulty In securing shelter for the homeless. Many persons vacated their quarters Saturday and 200 more vacated Sunday. On the boulevard of St. Germain a house is tottering and threatening to fall on the chamber of deputies. One of the few casualties reported Sunday was the sweeping away of a man who was trying to drag some floating logs from the river. Tbe situation in the outskirts of Parts is even worse than In the city proper. At Alfortevllle the dam burst, overwhelming 200 houses, the people being forced to fly, leaving their belongings behind.

Chicago. The movement to com bat the high prices of meat has spread rapidly and is assuming a na tional character. Coincident with the growth of the movement came an nouncements from Milwaukee and Cleveland that the price of meat had dropped. In Milwaukee, two retail butchers quoted porterhouse Bteaks at 10 cents ixmnrl a ulrlnln at thft same tirlce and other meats In proportion. The wholesale Drlce of beef fell off 15 cents a hundred pounds In Cleveland. Dispatches from Kansas City, Bal timore, Milwaukee, Omaha, Memphis, Pittsburg and other cities, told of the rapid growth of the movement. Cleve land, credited with being the origina tor of the scheme, now has 30,000 names enrolled In the crusade, while Kansas City reports that it may soon have 80,000. The heads of the leading packing houses of Kansas City and Chicago refused to discuss the effect of the movement upon their business. From Denver comes the report that to boycott tbe growing movement meat has aroused stockmen of the west to a protest that the effect of the boycott will be against the stock men rather than against the packers.
