President's Letter to Trade Commis-
sion Sniil Consumers Are tiiiin-
Ing on Production.
Washington, Feb. 15.—The sweep-
ing investigation of the high price of
food products by the Federal Trade
Commission, ordered by President
Wilson, will in all probability result
in an early inquiry into the meat
and .cattle industries, as a part of the
general plan being worked out by the
commission. President Wilson's let-
ter to members of the commission
pointed out that while the population
had increased since 1900 about twen-
ty-six million, there was only a
slight increase in the supply of corn
and wheat and there was a decrease
of twenty-nine pounds per capita in
meat supply.
The investigation has Ihe support
of the American National Live Stock
Association, the National Grange, and
all the state agricultural and live
stock associations. Representaitve
Borland of Missouri, who has been
urging 'the meat inquiry, says that it
is expected the live stock industry
will form the first and chief branch
of the inquiry. The production and
marketing of beef cattle with all of
the by-produ'ets, he says, is the point
at which the commission will begin
its work.
At the outset an investigation was
opposed by the packing concerns, but
later they offered no objection to an
inquiry by the Federal Trade Com-
mission, providing it would include
both ends of the business, marketing
and producing. It is understood such
will be the order followed by the
commission.

New York,. .Feb. 15.—The immediate
cause of freight congestion at pro-

plication of this rule has transferred

the delegation to go to Shawne to
hieet Col. Harvey and his party of
good roads enthusiasts, returned to
Chickasha a more enthusiastic boost-
er than he had ever been.
"There were ten or twelve mem-
bers in Col. Harvey's party," said Mr.
Shepard. "These included the coun-
ty commissioners of Lincoln and Pot-
tawatomie counties and the secretary
oi the chamber of commerce of Tulsa,
which body furnished Col. Harvey the

ports of big delegations being organ
ized to come, many in special trains,
to the meeting of Young Democrats,
and the original estimate of 2,000 at-
tendance has not been changed. As a
matter of fact, it is believed there will
be more than that number, because of
the central location of Shawnee and
the importance of the meeting.
A conservative estimate places the
number of teachers expected at 500.
The "East Centralit" published for the
East Central State Normal at Ada.
says:
"That the meeting of the district
teachers at Shawnee on Thursday
night, Friday, and Saturday, Febru-
ary 22, 23 and 24 is regarded as an
important occasion is manifested by
the readiness with which the school
systems of the district are respond-
ing to the call of the association to
make it possible for all the teachers
to attend.
The East Central Normal will dis-
miss for Friday and* Saturday, hold-
ing school on the 22nd which is us-
ually a school holiday. The teachers
will have opportunity to attend the
entire session of the association in
this way as railroad connections make
it possible for practically all recita-
tions to be held on Thursday. Most
ot the teachers and quite a number of
the students of the school have signi-
fied their intention of attending. The
girls Glee Club and the orchestra from
the normal will furnish music for the
programs on Friday.
"The Ada city schools will also dis-
miss for the association and the ma-
jority of the teachers of the system
will attend. Superintendent and the
Board of Education are urging all of
the teachers to go. The delegation
from Ada is expected to be large and
arrangements for reservations are al-
ready under way.
"Indirect news from other points,
notably, Holdenville, Tupelo, and
Coalgate Indicate that these places
will follow the same plan and sen;
large delegations. Teachers from all
over the district are preparing to at-
tend and the management is expect-
ing the meeting to be a success."
