WASHINGTON, Nov. .-A new phase
of the cost of living problem was brought
to the attention of the Department of
Agriculture today. T P. Olll, secretary
of the Irish Board of Agriculture, told
Secretary Houston that speculators In tho
largo cities of the United Stafcs were
actively buying up this year's short
American potato crop and planning to
hold out for high prices, counting upon
tho existing quarantine against potatoes
fiom many foreign countries to aid them.
In their undertaking. j
Mr. Olll Is here to urge the removal of
the embargo on potatoes from his country
and has received private advices from
Various sources on the potato situation
In America. He declares that powdery
scabs found on potatoes Imported from
Iretnnd no cause for a quarantine because
u similar blemish already Is common In
tho United States and says that continu
ance of tho embargo will contribute to
the growing cost of living.
Secretary Houston and the federal hor
ticultural board held a conference after
Mr. dill's statement, but no action was
announced. Representative McKellar of
Tennessee, author of a pending bill to
prohibit the keeping of products In cold
storage for more than ninety days, was
In conference today with Department of
Justice officials over the department's In
vrstlgation of the storago of eggs, poultry
and dairy products. It Is said that a
preliminary Inquiry has revealed the fact
that 65 per cent of the present egg
supply held In storage Is In the hands
of the great meat packers of the country.
Letters and telegrams poured In today
from all parts of the country, from In
dividuals, associations of various kinds and
Trom business men, praising the depart
ment's effort to break high food prices
by proceedings against the alleged com
blnatlon of cold storage dealers.
Housewives who say they havo felt
(ho oppressive hand of high prices In
many ways wrote telling of their Indi
vidual experiences and heads of organ
isations, which have taken an active
part in trying to reduce the living cost,
expressed eagerness to tell what they
knew. Many of the letters contained
accusations against the packers of Chi
cago and charged them with responsibil
ity for cold storage prices. Others
blamed the middlemen.

Cheerful Credit to All Santa Clauses
Each year, as we impress upon the peo
ple the glorious advantage of our liberal credit
plan, there are fewer and fewer families that havo ijo
visitation from his royal morriness, Santa Clans.. Christ
mas at one time meant a stinting for weeks beforehand,
in order that enough money might bo saved to gejt a lit
tle something for each member of tho family This is
rapidly becoming a thing of the past, and we think our
modern business methods havo helped make it so.
Any man may now play Santa Claus to his
family. He may select what he wants from
our stocks, pay for it in bits and have it while paying
for it. He can make wife, daughter, son or mother happy
without dopleting his own treasury and at the same
time secure tho best furniture the world marts afford.
We make new Santa Clauses every year.
Is it to our credit or discredit?
Our credit, by the way, is CHEEEFUL CREDIT.

MEXICO CITT, Nov. . Like, General
Joeo Oontalea Salas after the battle ot
Rellano In March, 191:, Qeneral Antonio
Rabogo, military governor of the state ot
Tamaulipas, killed himself after losing
Victoria, the capital. The aulclde'ot CJn
eral Rabago Is not admitted by tho gov
ernment, but the newa la contained in a
private telegram to his relatives here who
do not telegram Ita authenticity.
General Rabago as military governor
was responsible for the garrison when
Victoria waa attacked by the rebels Ko-
ember 17.
It was not until this morning that the
newspapers of the Mexican capital pub
lished any Intimation that Victoria had
been taken. Rabago was credited wun
having evacuated the city.
The private message falls to give de
tails ot his death. Among the Incidents
connected with tho capture of Victoria
1 by the rebels one Is related of the execu
Ulon of Captain Thomas James. He was
told that his life would be spared If he
forswore the government.
Given an Hour.
He refused and was given an hour for
meditation. When the hour had elapsed
and his cuarda had come for him, he asked
to be taken before the man who ordered
Ms execution. He embraced the military
Judge assuring him that he cherished no
resentment and then marched to the
place designated for his death.
There he distributed among the firing
mimi nil but one of a package of
I clgarettea This he lighted himself and
! signalled the officer in command to give
' the order to fire.
I' Among those killed was a young civilian
i cousin of Enrique Caballero. who la the
t leader ot tho rebela at Victoria, and one
of the chief lieutenants ot Venustlano
t Carranxa. The young civilian was con-
1 1 deenned to die becauso he had helped the
S, federal troops to defend the city.
The young man'a mother, who Is an
Z ! aun of the rebel officer, went on her

son be saved, uaoaueros repijr wu 10

development of eor-mlndedness, making
auditory sensitiveness and responsiveness
the touchstone of good usage, so that In
the place of the blight of literary book
lshness there might bo substituted a reli
ance on tho auditory sense and Judgment
Instead of tho premeditations of the pen

Joseph Jostrow of the University of
Wisconsin referred to the possibility of a
society for the prevention of cruelty td
the English language.
Prof. Jostrow told the result of an In
quiry as to what would be tho outcome
If fifty objectionable expressions, caught
In ordinary conversation wero' fined auch
amounts, varying from 1 cent to II, ps
seemed a fit punishment for each sep
arate offense. The Judges, sixty-eight In
number, include twelve women, Half of
the sixty-eight reside cast of the Alle
ghenles. Among them were college pro.
feasors, leading editors and readers for
prominent publishing houses.
An average fine of nearly 43 cents for
each offense was tho outcome. Prof.
Jastrow suggested that the revenues
from enforcement of fines would make a
substantial fund to be distributed In
prizes by a society of cruelty to English"
speech.
