FOREIGN CHARTER?

Going the rounds in financial circle
Eera is report that the big packing
Interests, which make up the so-called
Beef Trust, are planning to form a
holding company" under a foreign
charter. The supposed object of this
move is to avoid prosecution, under
both Federal and state antitrust laws,
for conspiracy in restraint of trade.
The conviction of the manager of
the Western Meat Co., in California,
under that States antitrust statute
is thought to be the cause Of the
packers uneasiness. Nearly all other
states have antitrust laws similar to
THAT of California, so that there may
be a widespread movement against
the trust and its various subsidiaries,
1t is unlikely that the packers will
hold to the plan of seeking a charter
abroad, if they have formed such a
plan, because the weight of legal
opinion is to the effect that it would
not bring about the desired immunity.
1t is said chat some such scheme was
advanced for the joint control Of the
Northern Pacific and Great Northern
railroads several years ago, but that
the companies counsel decided that
foreign company would stand no
better chance than a domestic one
1t was therefore determined to iucor-
porate the Northern Securities COM
pany in this country; this combina-
tion was finally declared illegal and
was dissolved.
The Western Meat Co., the manager
of which was convicted in California,
is understood to be controlled by
trust interests, as is the National
Packing Company in the east. The
National Packing Company has upon
it's board of directors J. Ogden Ar
mour, L. f. Swift, Ira n. Norris, and
others associated with them IN the
meat-packing industry. This COM
pany, it is said, is already preparing
to defend itself against suits that
may be brought under various anti
trust acts.

SUNDAY MORNING
SERVICE VERY GOOD
Rev. Fred Staff Spoke on the
Rights of Children and
Aroused Considerable Inter-

Rev. Fred Staff, pastor.of the First
Congregational church, spoke to the
member Of his congregation Sabbath
morning upon the "Rights of the
Children" We are sorry that every
parent in Grand Rapids could not have
heard him. His talk was timely and
to the point. He gave the parents.
the officers and the city authorities to
understand what their duties were
towards the children. The recent
cases Of arson and burglary by the
young boys were the results of neglect
in the care and training of these boys
by parents and city officials. If the
Curfew Ordinance had been enforced
these children would have been home
by eight O'Clock in the evening. We
urge upon parents and city officers
that they keep closer watch of the
boys and girls under sixteen years of
age and see that they are at home
when the curfew whistles are sounded.
Let the dealers who are guilty of
selling or giving away cigarettes,
cigarette wrappers. cheap dime novels
etc. to our boys and girls be prosecu-
ted and made an example Of. They
are more guilty of SIP than the
children. If guilty, of such act.
there is no excuse for any dealer.
Such an offense on the part of any
adult is ipeXcusable and should be
condemned. We sincerely hope that
CIR city and county officers will see
that every boy guilty of arson or
theft be sent to the Reform Schools
and anyone guilty of selling or giving
away cigarettes, wrappers or dime
novels of debasing character be pun
ished accordingly. 1t is high time
that the good people of Grand Rapids
assert themselves by uniting together
and see that the law is enforced.
Acts of arson and burglary that have
occurred recently are a disgrace TO the
good name Of Grand Rapids. Citizens
what are you going to do about it?
1t is now up to you.

on more than one occasion caught her committing

That WOULD keep announcer awake OH hight
The European or American, in order
to sleep we'll, ordinarily requires soft
pillow under his head: but the Japa-
nese. stretching himself on a rush mat
on the floor, puts hard, square block
of wood under his head, and does not
sleep we'll if he does not have it.
The Chinese makes great TODD III
the matter of his bed. which is very
low indeed, scarcely rising from the
floor. but is often carved exquisitely of
wood: and it never occurs to him to
make it any softer than rush mats will
render it.
While the people of the northern
countries cannot sleep unless they have
plenty of room in which to stretch their
legs. the inhabitants of the tropics
often curl themselves up like monkeys
at the lower angle of suspended ham,
mock. and sleep soundly that way
The robust American will cover him
self with a pair of blankets and throw
his window open to the air, even in the
dead of winter, and he will not some
times complain if there is little drift
of snow across the sill in the morning
The Russian. on the contrary, likes
no sleeping place so we'll as the top of
the big soapstone stove in his domicile
Crawling out of this blistering bed in
the morning. he likes to take plunge
in cold stream. even if he has to break
through ice to do so.
The Laplander crawls. head and all.
into bag made of reindeer skin. and
sleeps warm and comfortable within it
The East Indian. at the other end of
the world. also has sleeping bag: but
it is more porous than the Laplander's.
It's purpose is to keep out the mos
quitoes more than to keep warm.
While the American clings to his
feather pillow. he has long since dis
carded his old fashioned featherbed III
favor of the hair or straw or felt mat
tress The featherbed has been rele
gated to the country. and many people
that slept on it in their childhood found
it uncomfortable in their later years,
The Germans not only sleep on
featherbed, but underneath one as
we'll. The feather covering used in
Germany, however. is not SO large or
thick as the one used as a mattress, and
the foreigner that undertakes to sleep
beneath it often finds his feet suffering
from cold. while his shoulders are suf-
fer1ng from heat.
