Roast turkey, roast goose, roast

toes, giblet gravy cranberry sauce,
stewed peas, apple pie, mince pie,

This was the Thanksgiving menu
down at Captain Kline's popular hotel,
the Salvation Army industrial home
Some people get scared by the high
price of turkeys and geese. But Cap
tain Kline didn't. He bought supply
of them and then asked several men
to pay the bill Dan Gaines of the
Merchants hotel promptly handed the
captain $40 and Tom Dennison and
Morris Milder kicked IN" with IS

PACKERS MAKING
FARMERS WEALTHY
Breeders of Cattle Take Eighty
Cents Out of Every Dollar
Handled.
cUDAHY KEEPS TWO CENTS

Pity the poor farmer. He has moth
ing but money in the bank to worry
about.
Out .of every dollar taken i'll by the
Cudahy Packing company from the
sale of all products derived from ami
mails, Mr.. Farmer and his thrifty wife
got exactly 80 cents.
And the Cudahy Packing company
handled just $l33,960,9S6.1 worth OF
business in its fiscal year which closed
October 2S. incidentally its net
profit for the year was $3,0l1,4l4.94
This bank roll is what is left over
after deducting from gross profit all
expenses OF every kind, including de-
probation, repairs, interest on bonds
and other borrowed money.
An Observation.
1T is interesting to observe" says
the companys business circular,
that, while the figures, in dollars rep
resenting gross sales from all prod
ucts derived from animals are prob
ably larger than ever before, the tom
mage has not greatly increased, Prac-
tically all of the increase in dollars
has been paid to the farmer and live
stock producer in the price-we have
paid for the animals handled. In fact,
the packers are practically the collcc-
tion agents of the farmer"
After thus informing the breeder of
cattle that they (the packers) are his
errand boys, the Cudahy company
tells how the remaining 20 cents Of
the dollar which the farmer doesn't
get, are spent
= Spending the Rest.
Seven cents goes to the wage
earners, cents for freight and 4 cents
for materials needed in manufactur-
ing Out of the remaining cents
there have been paid interest, taxes,
insurance, repairs and all such items,
and of the residue not quite 2 cents
per dollar applies to the bet profits
of the company"
The packer pockets 2 cents out of
every 100 pennies and the farmer
pockets eighty.
And yet the packer is not ranked
as pauper. 1
Pity the poor farmer. He has moth
ing but money in the bank to worry
about.

Oh ye women of the beach-"GOOd
Night"
This is a nice hot day for a beach
story what?
ChicagOans seemed more pleased
this year than ever before that Ma
ture built Lake Michigan so close to
the shores Of the Windy City A mob
a-day surge forth anywhere from
Evanston to the extreme south end
of our sweltering city to splash and
get splashed in the wishy-wash of
the bring deep.
Wednesday afternoon. f'Tinstance,
there must have been 10000 Chi
cagOans dipping at the three beaches
that run together out at the foot of
Wilson avenue-namely Wilson
beach, North Shore Beach and the
new municipal beach, Clarendon.
These three beaches are three of
the best in the city. All have ac-
commOdations for thousands and
the thousands take advantage, be-
heve US! AS the nickels roll in to the
elevated and surface car lines that
run northward in the city, OF Lake
Michigan keeps rolling in to meet
babies, tiny tots, grammar school
kids, their parents, their grandpa
rents and last but for from least,
sweethearts and their. sweetheaTts.
Lovers of bully fine water daily rush
forth to get their ears, mouths and
noses full of drink" And others
who do not care to take part in the
dipping, rush forth to the same
beaches to get their eyes full
of sights.
The suits the gentler sex are wear
ing this year might be called sensible
bathing suits-they are the same as
the men folks wear They give the
women and girls a real chance to get

bersOme skirts are on the taboo.
And stockings the dickens
wants to bother with stockings? You
can barely swim with them on and
the girls near barely swim with them

Small end-Of-the-street beaches
work a great distance up north. Also
do they run southwark, finally wind
ing up at the Lincoln park beach,
which is also a crackerjaCk bathing
place.
For two bits you can get a towel,
bathing suit and locker at any beach,
and the municipal beaches are a bit
cheaper. There is no reason why
everybody in Chicago shouldn't take
their turn at a plunge in the Atlantic

for everybody and it's great sport.
Chicagoans don't appreciate the
fact that great many people come
here to spend their summer vaca-
