tive  Packing  Company,  at  La  Crosse, 
Wis„  the  first,  organization  of  ils  kind  in 
the  1  nited  States,  which  was  established 
in  191.3  under  the  auspices  of  the  Amer¬ 
ican  Society  of  Equity,  has  closed  its 
floors.  The  company  was  organized  with 
a  capital  stock  of  ?250.000  and  had  oyer 
2,;i00  stockholders.  Inability  to  raise 
enough  capital  to  run  the  business  on  a 
profitable  seale  was  given  as  the  reason 
for  closing  the  plant. 
Another  high  cost  of  living  hill,  one  to 
reduce  the  tax  oa  oleomargarine  from  10 
cents  a  pound  to  one  cent,  and  to  repeal

turers,  was  introduced  in  the  House  Dee.

ana.  Mr.  Aswell  declared  his  bill  would 
reduce  the  cost  cf  food  consumed  in  this 
country  at  the  rate  of  150,000,000  pounds
