"When I was In Washington,"- he con tinued, "I had a long talk with Senator Lodge and he showed me that his com mittee, which Is investigating tho high cost of living, is after the cold storage plants where tons upon tons of meat and poultry are stored away. My contention Is that by maintaining surveillance over the cold storage plants In and about Greater New York, the evil may b checked. P.aee honest inspectors in charge of them, and sue that every fowl, every jdeoe of meat and every egg that entr them Is stamped with the date It Is received.

I knew of its real significance only by sur mise. The puollc knew little or nothing of It. It was Incorporated by dummy Incor porators, as I ascertained by delving Into the records.

Damage Was Done In Orchards Cannot lie Told for a Week Today Should D Warmer. Since 5 o'clock Saturday evening the ther mometer has been below freezing point. At that hour the thermometer fell to 32, the freezing point. Snov continued falling In flurries all night, and Sunday morning the ground was distinctly white In and about Omaha. At t o'clock Sunday morning the ther mometer stood at 2.1. at 6 It waa one degree lower. From then on It began to rise, but very slowly. At 12 o'clock 27 degrees was tho mark, and the high point, SO degrees, was reached at 5 o'clock Sunday afternoon. There It stood at 6 and 7 o'clock, with a wind out of the north making heavy over coats very popular. Speaking of the possible effect of the freeze on the fruit orchards, Deputy County Treasurer Emmet Solomon said the real story cannot be told for a week or ten days yet. "I recall, said Mr. Solomon, "that on the 10th of May two years ago we had a very sever frost, yet fruit raisers had a good crop at grapes that year. Cherries were hurt worst, being practically put off the list In this neighborhood. We had some peaches and a fair crop of apples. Of course in a freeze like this, the buds that are out will be killed and fall off, and this season we are away ahead of the 10th of May. Puds that are. not yet out. however, will probably come along all right, If condi tions do not gorw worse later. Always Gather Some Frnlt. "For twenty-five years that I have been more or Kss familiar with fruit growing In this vicinity wo have always had a pretty good crop of grapes, and more or leys other fruit, no matter how unfriendly the frosts seemed to be. I guess we'll have some fruit this year, when the picking time coinos." W. L. Crosby, a veteran fruit raiser of Florence, says that apples, cherries and plums have been pretty severly hit by the fall In tempemture, but he la not looking for a complete failure of the fruit crop.
