Learn Lesson From Panic.
Hitherto the packers have turned
their profits back into their business
and have used their high credit to
borrow in the aggregate scores of mil
lions from the banks. The 1907 panic,
involving as it did wholesale calling
in of bank loans, a general dumping
over of millions of dollars of meats,
cattle, hogs and packer collateral anu
a consequent tremendous drop in
prices, taught the packers a severe
lesson. This was the necessity of pro.
viding for a more permanent means
of increasing working assets than
bank loans. This, in part at least, is
the explanation of the recently ar
ranged packer financing.

Figures of National Packing sales are
not official, as iii the case of the other
companies. They are, however, con
sentative, so that. based on The present
volume of business handled by the Big
Four, it is probable that the gross
total will be found to exceed $500,
000,000
The striking feature of the packing
business, however. is not alone its huge
total of sales, but the extremely slight
margin of profit at which business is
conducted. The total net profits on
this overturn of $S00,000,00C will hard
ly reach $25.00l,000, a margin of only
3 per cent Compared with this, the
Steel corporation in 1907 showed bal

than seven times the net profits of the

Profits Above Normal.
In 1868 Swift & Co sold total $3.50 :
100000 of goods. Last year, however,
was not a normal year. and the margin
of profits was somewhat larger thar
normal, SO that the net earnings on
the oyerturn were about 50 800 600, or

VERY INTERESTING SERVICES
Large and Earnest Congregation Heard
MIR. Dennis ut Methodist Church.

One of the most interesting OF the
series of services being held IN the
Methodist church, if not the most IN
teresting, was held Wednesday night.
Promptly at 7:45 the services began
with singing, and song and prayer ser
vices continued until 8 o'clock:
Rev. Joseph Dennis, of Buffalo, VINO
has been doing the preaching, preached
again. He expressed his grateful
thanks to the congregation for their
nravful and undivided attention that
had been given to all the services from
the first. He also took occasion TO
mention that the people were so prompt
in coming, almost, if not all, being IN
their places by the time the sermon
was begun. 90 90
The text was taken from Luke lS-I3,
God be merciful to me a sinner. Inc
points especially dwelt upon were as
follows: LIST. The personal nature OF
the publicans prayer. 2nd. The publ
cans Identification of himself with God.
Srd. His uplifted voice for mercy, the
true object of his prayer.
The speaker pointed out that we TOO
often pray in the plural when we should
talk 10 God in the singular. We should
more often say God be merciful to
me. " than to say God be merclful to
MS" place ourselves in an Individual
attitude before God. Mr.. Dennis
brought this out very forcibly IN speak,
inc to the unconverted and impressed
upon them the Importance OF praying
for themselves. Many were his touch
ing Illustrations in speaking on ~ the
third division of his subject, VIZ; mat
of the publican pleading for mercy;
Rapt attention was given throughout
the whole sermon and' many hearts
were touched as the preacher uniolueu
the truths Of the gospel. Ill
Thursday at $3.50 o'clock the ladies
held a service in the chapel. .,
Several gave their hearts to God ana

The church asks that the people, OF
God will pray for the meeting ana Dy

REPORTS IN FAVOR
OF JET CHILDREN

Nearly two years ago Mrs. Amanda
r. Jett died in the county, leaving a
number of small tracts of land and she
wilIed life interest to her husband,
James NJ. Jett, and at his death the
property to be equally divided between
the children. Mr.. Jett brought SUIT
against the children, claiming that al
though some years ago he decided the
place to his wife, that as soon as he
paid off certain debts his wife agreed
TO re-deed the home place back to him.
The children denied the alleged agree
ment and the case has been pending
for nearly two years and a large
amount of evidence has been taken.
MANY nice propositions of law have been
raised in the case, especially the inter
esting question whether verbal trust
of real estate can be made in Virginia.
Master Commissioner Alvin I. I'm,
brey has decided the case in favor OF
the Jett children, and it will now come
up before the Circuit Court of Spotsyl'
vania and will probably go from there
to the Supreme Court, as both sides
say they intend to appeal.

and VIM. w. ButZner the children.
