LANCASTER FARMER
SOLVES COST PUZZLE
Tries to Sell Pork Sausage at
Low Figure and Then Says
It's Mostly Beef and
Flour.
(From a Stff Correspondent. )
Lincoln, Nov. 23. (Special.) A
farmer a short distance out of Lin
coln has solved the high cost of liv
ing as it is applied to pork sausage.
When he attempted to sell by sample
to Lincoln parties at Jo cents a pound
he was run down by a member of the
State Council of Defense, who, in
company with a Lincoln police officer,
went out to bring the man in.
Raymond Wright was his name, and
when told by the officer that he could
: not sell pork sausage at 16 cents a
ponnd, Mr. Wright promptly said that
he could. Mr. Officer asked the man
how he could do that when pork cost
more than that, and the farmer re
plied that only 30 per cent of the
sausage was pork. Forty per cent,
he said, was beef and the rest flour
nd water.
The food commission decided that
It could not prosecute Wright because
he had made no sale. He had eaten
the sample for his lunch, but agreed
to send the officer a sample for his
own use.

Montgomery county fair, which went
put of existence here several years
ago. A meeting of all farmers and all
others in the county interested in the
movement will "be held here in "the
Commercial club rooms next Monday
night.

if the purchase is delayed much

when the opportunity of buying the
old grounds back is lost the oppor
tunity of restoring the county fair
will be lost with it, for no other
grounds conveniently located can be
secured. The track on , the old
grounds can be put in shape again
with comparatively small expense,
and the only additional outlay of
funds necessary would be for the erec
tion of the buildings needed.
