PACKERS MAKE so PER CENT
In Seven Days s2.221 Makes Profit
of $50

New York. March 23.-That the
annual profit of the big meat COM
panies in New York City is fully so
per cent on the capital invested in
the purchase, slaughter and market
ing of the cattle, is shown by tables
submitted to the state food investi-
eating commission here by George
J. Edwards, general manager of
Swift and Company's local offices
The tables show. for example, that
20 cattle were bought by Swift and
Company in South Omaha for S2,221.
They were killed in the Swift stock
yards and shipped Immediately to this
city, arriving December Z, and being
sold the same day. The expenses of
killing and preparing them was SIS.
But the hides and other by-products
had been sold for $500, reducing the
original cost of purchase and killing
to $1,794. The meat was sold on ar
irving here for $2,044. but from this
had to be deducted $3.50 for freight
and marketing expenses. The net re-
turns on the meat of the % cattle was
thus $1.1S4 and the entire profit of
the company from the seven days
transaction and from the investment
of the $2,221 was $50.
When these figures We're first sub
mitted most of those who looked
them over were inclined to think that
Swift and Company were taking a
the chairman of the commission
pointed out that the capital involved
was tied up by the transaction for
only seven days, and that as the cap
ital was kept continually active in
similar processes, all the year
the return on the S2,221 was
almost exactly so per cent a year.

BACK TO HOBOKEN.
Mrs. IIetty Green, Americas Richest
Woman, Deserts New York.

New York. March Belonging for
the friendship of her old neighbors has
drawn Mrs. Hetty Green, richest wom-
an in America, back to her quiet little
fiat in HobOken from the splendid
brown stone mansion in East Ninetieth
street, where she has been living with
her son, Colonel Edward H. R. Green.
The explanation given by Colonel
Green today was:
Mother never wanted to live in the
city. I got her to come with me in the
uptown house last August and at first
she seemed happy and contented. But
she soon grew lonesome for the old
friends in Hoboken and all this winter
she has been looking forward to the
first days of spring with the view of
going back
There is nothing in New York life
to interest my mother. She prefers
the simplicity of her apartment and
loves to have the old neighbors around
in the. evening to sit and chat in the
good old fashioned way
Mrs. Green's HObOken home is $40
flat in which she entertains her old
at tea two or three times
week and in the evening is either re-
ceiving callers or visiting at neighbor
ing homes. In New York her life was
terribly dull. She never cared for the
theater nor would she ever invade So
ciety circles.

HE DENOUNCES men.
Calls on People to See Girls SIayers
Are Punished.

Usage City, Kan, March 23.-At
the funeral of Carrie Younge, which
was held today, Father began of the
Catholic church here denounced the
men charged with the ruin and death
of the girl and called upon the people,
the city and county officers to see
that a proper punishment was melted
out to the men who, he declared, we're
to blame. Despite the bad weather,
the funeral drew a great crowd and
there is more excitement here since
the funeral than there was at the
time of the arrest.
Sentiment is divided here as to the
guilt of the men, although probably
a majority of those who have eX-
pressed themselves do not favor the
defendants. The state in the case
against DR.. ]. nj. Heller and James
Harris depends entirely upon the dy-
ing statement of the girl, having no
other evidence TO offer. In case this
is thrown out of court, the case will
fall flat.

PAINT WITHOUT OIL.
That Can Be Bought for as Cents Per
Gallon in Use in Topeka.

1t is weather proof and fire proof and
is called Powdr-Paint.
Powdr-paint has been used all over
the U. S. for the past IL years and I'M
der all conditions has proved the most
remarkable all purpose paint made, as
it does not crack, peel or become soft
and chalky like many of the ready
mixed paints do. and thousands of sat
isfied customers from the most trying
climates testify that this paint wears
from to Z years for outside as well as
for inside use.
Surely a paint with all these good
qualities and at a saving of $50 per
gallon should cause every property
owner to sit up and take notice.
A free sample of this paint and full
information can be obtained by calling
