Stafford people were greeted with
a spectacle yesterday which used to
be very common here years ago but
which is quite unusual In these later
times. It was a string of wagons
loaded with broom corn. AL Holmes

county last week and picked up a
car load Of broom corn from the
growers there. It was hauled down
yesterday and loaded out over the
Missouri Pacific, consigned to Sc

THE POOR MEAT PACKERS.

GAS the situation stands to-
day the packers are losing mon
ey," testifies a representative OF
one Of the big western packing
houses in the John Doe inquiry
into the reason for the rise in the
price of food instituted by the
district attorney Of New York
City.
Let us be entirely fair to the
meat packers. 1t is no time to
call names, as Ogden Armour
pointed out the other day, and
we should not get historical
about little thing like doubling
the already high cost of living on
us. There is no reason why the
public should not stand to be
MIXED, even if the flies do sting,
Anybody who is disposed to be
fair can see where the packers
are losing money right along. In
stead of leaving the price of beef
cattle where it was before the
war when they advanced the
price of beef, they might have re-
duced the price to the producer,
and they might have raised the
price of meat to the consumer
higher than they did. It's pos
sible to figure out how they are
losing a whole lot Of money.
The difference between the
price the producer gets and the
cost to the consumer shows that
the packers have always lost
heap of money in the packing
business. Most Of the packers
have piled up their vast fortunes
by crap shooting and playing the
races. The packing business has
been merely a diversion.-Beau-
