NO STEER WITHOUT GOOD MEAT
AT LOW PRICE.
WANTED—A steer composed entlre-
ly of loins and riba—H. OC. L.
Unfortunately, “there ain't no such
animal,” If a porterhouse steer could
be developed by a live stock Luther
Burbank, we could all have porter
house or sirloin steaks and rolled
roasts from the first and second ribs
—next tg the loin, and therefore most
expensive, as your butcher will tell
you.
Nearly everybody wants high-grade
cuts, but there aren't enough ribs and
joins to go around. These cuts com-
pose but 27 per cent of the carcass,
the loin constituting 18 per cent.
What's the answer? If people would
buy more chucks—they make excellent
steaks—or briskets and clods (all fore-
quart®r cuts) there would be cheaper
girloin and porterhouse steaks, Ask
your butcher or food economist about
the possibilities of the fore quarter,
also cheap cuts from the hind quarter.
Then the is the flank. Ever eat a
good flank steak?
that cannot be duplicated, The full
flank composes 4 per cent of the beef
carcass, the squarecut chuck about
24 per cent. -

jes far removed, from the packing

of loins and ribs and the excessive de-
mand for them which eauses the price
to keep up.
When ordering the foods for the day,
the meat part of the meal is always
the first planned, and the remalnder
bullit around it. Housewives should
be familiar with all cuts and then cook
them so as to get the best flavor.

sold at lower prices than in Illinois, be-
cause of the heavy demand by the for |
¢ign-born population for rounds, |
chucks, rumps and other cuts less pop- |
ular in the West. The least expen- |

shank, which is excellent for stews
and soups. The round will supply

steaks and braising meat are fur-

But you must know something about
beef cuts to know what to huy and
how to buy. Then you ean neglect the
costly steaks for the time and return
to them when the price has been equal-

INJURED ON SEVEN MTS.
Hurt ; One Loses Leg.
A party of twenty State College stu-
dents crossing the Seven Mountains,
Wednesday of last week, met with a
serious accident, when the large auto
truck in which they were riding became
unmanageable through a defect of its
brakes. Three of the students were ad-
mitted to the Lewistown hospital to re-
ceive treatment for their severe injuries,
and another of the young %nen, G. C,
Reeser, of Mt. Union, was taken to the
office of Dr. H. W, Swigart, Lewistown,
to have his scalp wounds dressed, The
victims in the hospital were: Frank
Wolfe, of Carlisle, suffering compound
and comminuted fractures of tibia and
fibia bones on his right leg, it being nec-

Koplan, of Brooklyn, N, Y., lacerations,

The driver of the truck was G. G.

No Size Limit On Trout the Coming
Season.
Attention is being called to the
that there is no size limit on
caught during the coming fishing season.
The law formerly required that all trout
under six inches should be thrown back
into the stream, but the last session
the state legislature amended that sec
tion of the law, While it is not requir-
ed that the small ones be thrown back,
fishermen are recommencing that when
they are not too badly injured as to make
it appear doubtful whether they would
live, that they be placed again in the

Exhibitions Barred
Fars,
An opinion written by Deputy Attor-
holds
that a county fair management cannot
offer premiums to persons for exhibiting
live stock with the assurance that if they
exhibit they will win a premium. The
same opinion holds that if an agricultu-
ral association advertises and promises
to pay exhibitors certain premiums for
the best exhibit in any department and
there happened to be but one exhibitor
who has in good faith exhibited at the
fair, there is no reason why such exhib:

| will Telephone ° Rates Increase or
Net ?
The question of the hour is, will Bell
telephone rates increase on May 1, or
{ will they not? The Bell telephone com-
pany says most emphatically ‘‘yes”,
while the Public Service Commission
says they cannot suspend the .increases
until after hearing complaints, and a
public hearing for this purpose cannot
be granted until some time in May.
With their April bills, received the
latter part of last week, subscribers
found enclesed announcements of the
new rate schedule, effective May 1st,
No particular fault was found with the
asking of a higher monthly rate, which
is about fifty cents a month, but a howl
went forth when that ‘part of the an-
nouncement calling for a toll charge to
speak outside of the local service area,
was read. The Bell company proposes
to charge subscribers in Centre Hall 10
cents for every call to Bellefonte, Spring
Mills, Boalsburg, State College, and
Millbeim. All these points, under the
existing terms, are free of toll dharges.
Under the*new schedule many local bus-
iness firms would find that their tele-
phone costs would be advanced from
200 to 100 per cent,
“In response to querries” says Fri:
days Philadelphia Ledger, ‘as to
whether this was a legitimate proceed.
ing on the part of the company, [mean-
1g the notice of rate increase] officials
of the Public Service Commission de-
clared that, regardless of what the Bell
Telephone Company said or announced,
it would at least not collect any increase
of rates until after a public hearing be-
fore the commission.”
