Now with that report aa a basis President Wilson has directed the of Justice to Institute at once civil and criminal proceedings against Hie big five. The attorney general stated that he was satisfied the evidence developed Indicated a clear violation of the anti-trulaws, and that Isndor J. Kresel of New York wan In charge of Hie prosecution. Tlie packers are in lie accused of unfairly and Illegally using their power to manipulate live slock markets, to restrict Interslate and international supplies of foods, to iimtrol the prices of dressed meats sail oilier fowls, to defraud both the producers nnd the consumers of foods, fn crash competition, to secure special privileges from nillronds, stock yards companies nnd municipalities, nnd to profiteer.

Already the rallronds of the country are greatly hampered hy the strike of the shop workers. This was not authorised by the national unions, and It began to cnllupse when the president told the men their denmnds would not be. considered until they resumed work. The sugar situation Is confusing nnd statements are as conflicting as those relating to the tracking Industry. However the government believes the sugar men also are profiteering and three officials of the Pittsburgh branch of a Chicago concern were arrested. It i asserted that scalpers have vast quantities of sugar stored away nnd that dealers Hre forced to buy where they can and pny what Is asked. In this, as In the case of oilier food products, the accused say the government is partly to blame for shipping vnst supplies to Europe nnd thus creating a domestic shortage. The concerted attacks !y federal and local authorities caused Immediate and sharp declines In the wholesale prices of many foods, but there was little evidence thnt the consumer was profiting hy the declines, which seemed to put some of the onus on the retailers. Chicago's race war, which at bottom was largely industrial and partly political, practically came to an end, and on Thursday more than 3,000 colored employees of the packing houses returned to work.

Their assertions that they make an nlinoat profit and often oiierate ut a loss do not seem to make much Impression on either the public or the agencies of Justice. That their stole-mert- s nre not always Ingenuous la instanced by the following assertion nf tlie commercial research department" of one of the big fire: The general high price level Is not due to manipulation. This Is shown hy a recent report of the wur Industries hourd, which proves that prices In other countries of the world have risen as much ss or more thnn they have In the United States, and that this has been true even In countries relatively unaffected by war conditions, such as Japan nnd Australia. Tlie truth Is that Australia is glinted with food products and Its people are struggling to keep prices up to a profitable level. Also, while there was a big advance In the prices nf Japan's chief food, rice, it was admittedly due to the manipulations of hoarders und profiteers and wns tlie cause of riots und of government action. nl To obtain the best results pigs should gain continuously until they are reedy for market The beat results will not be obtained unless pigs have access all the time possible to good forage crops, alfalfa and red clover preferred. If these feeds cannot be procured rye. oats, barley, cowpeas, rape or any other grain or grasses that will produce good forage In the locality should be sown. The pigs should be watched closely to see that they are on their feed. If they are not the feed should workers are nonunion and others because they objected to laboring under police and military protection.

BETTER THAN WOODEN FENCE Wall Constructed of Loose Stones Has Many Points of Superiority Harmonizes With Nature. The New England stone wall, as a feature In landscape scenery, is sometimes spoken of as a deformity; yet It cannot be denied that the same lines of wooden fence would mar the beauty of our prospect In a greater degree. On account of the loose manner In which the stones are laid one upon another, as well as the character of the materials, this wall harmonises with' the rude aspects of nature better than any kind of masonry. It seems to me less of a blemish than a trimmed hedge or any other kind of fence, unless In In wild pasornamental grounds. tures and lands devoted to rustic labor, the stone wall Is the most picturesque boundary mark that has yet been Invented. A trimmed hedge In such places would present to the eye an intolerable formality. One of the charms of the loose stone wall Is the manifest ease with which It may be overleaped. It menaces no Infringement of our liberties. When we look abroad upon the face of a country subdivided only by long lines of loose stones, and overgrown with vines and shrubbery, we feel no sense of constraint . . . Fences are deformities of prospect which we are obliged to use and tolerate. But the loose stone wall only la expressive of the freedom which Is grateful to the traveler and the rambler. Wilson Flagg. Best to Build for Oneself. The advice to the dtlien to build his own home, if possible, Is good. When a man builds for himself and his family he knows precisely what he gets, and he gets the kind of home he likes. It la better salted to the needs of himself and his family than la one that has been constructed for some other family. The cost of such construction may seem high, but good judges of values believe that an Investment of this kind, made carefully and wisely, Is the soundest and most satisfactory in the long ran.
