We hae been promised lower feed prices.
These reductions have not materialized,
Our members know theypannot afford to
contlnun In the buslnexi at the present
prices, and they will gladly furnish facts
to show this. As evidence wo would call
attention to tho very serious shortage In

MOTHER AT HALLOWEEN
BALL, GAS KILLS CHILD
Rubber Tube Accidentally Dia-
connected witn Fatal Consequences
Near dusl: Inst night. Mrs. Lottie Orth,
who has a room nt 824 Spring Garden
street, came dowrstalrs to her landlady,
Mrs. Mollle Courtman, mid said, "I may
go out a little while tonight. You wouldn't
mind listening for the kiddles, would you7
If they cry, you'll find some bread and
sugar In tho pantry." She meant her two
daughters. Bertha, aged four, and Eliza
beth, six years old. Mrs. Orth hasn't been
living with her husband for some time
The merrymaking rolled across the city.
Mrs. Courtman dressed her own little ones
and sent them laughing to the street. About
11 o'clock she heard cries from the second
story front room, occupied by the OrtU
children. She found Mrs. Orth still In the
room,
"I don't think I'll go out after all," said
the mother. "Bertha Isn't so well. Guess
I'd better miss the masquerado ball this
Halloween."
After n while the merry-making died and
the Courtman family went to bed. After 4
o'clock their house was filled with scream
ing nnd Leo Courtman, the husband, went
up the stairs t,wo at a time. He saw a
grotesque figure In men's clothes swaying
and crying out In the entrance of the Orth
room,
It was Mrs. Orth. "The gas my babies,"
was all he could make out of her scream
ing. He ran clad as he was to the street
nnd told Policeman Van Wycke, who
nlowed down an automobile full of mas
queraders. The Orth children were brought
out limp and put among tho mummers. A
man In clown's paint set himself for a race
for the llooscvelt Hospital. A man dressed
as a devil did what he could for tho chil
dren. Mrs. Orth had gone to the ball. A rubber
gas tube In the Orth room had been acci
dentally disconnected. Bertha was dead.
Elizabeth Is dying today.
