GOVERNMENT TAKES CON-
troll OF MEAT SUPPLY
All Meat Packing Plants in The
Country Come Under The Control
OF The Government Today.

Chicago, Nov. 1.-The biggest
packing trust ever known-it in
cludes every meat packing plant in
the country-came into unopposed
being today and by grace of the gov
eminent elevated to the position OF
worlds greatest packer, Joseph HIP.
Cotton, hitherto a plain New York
lawyer.
Packers who upon one occasion
and another in years past have spent
IailliOns of dollars to prove that they
were not in a trust admitted it with
a smile today, and pointed with pride
to the fact that the government,
through Nj. Cotton. is the controll-
ing factor in it.
This was the day set by law for
the licensing of packing plants and
for Nj. Cotton to take charge. A
few conferences were all that mark
ed the important event.
I have been fully assured of the
full cooperation of the meat men,
even to the cutting of their profits, !"
said Mr.. Cotton. I'VE are working
now with price reduction in view. OF
course the government insures them
against disaster"
Mr.. Cotton has staff of experts
about him, including DR.. Charles
Mccarthy, of the University of Wis
consin, who is engaged just now In
trying to make it attractive for farm
ers to raise hogs, and Charles W..
Holman, for years secretary of the
conference On marketing and farm

Many persons who do not object to
the annexation of a moderate part OF
Baltimore county to the city, including
only tho closely built-up suburbs, say
the territory, population and wealth to
b taken from the county by the bill
proposed by Mayor Preston are unrea-
sona!ble and excessive, and that the re.
suit will be disastrous to the county.
According to tho statement Of the
Non-Partisan Greater Baltimore Exten'
sion League. as published in the
Leagues official pamphlet, the area to
b taken from Baltimore county Is 46.6
square miles. The area Of Baltimore
city at present is 3o.1 square miles.
The relative sizes Of the city and the
proposed annex are readily grasped by
looking at the figure below, in which
the shaded portion represents the city
and the white space the portion pro
posed to be taken from the county:

Faith in the desirability and prac-

Faith in the desirability and prac-
ticability of securing this fund OF
$35, 100000 grows as well as the
burning desire and the quiet deter
mination to work with all our power
to get it, when each one lets his mind
and heart dwell on some one young
man who is to receive the benefits
thus made possible by the associated
gifts and sacrifices of rich and poor.
Let him think of that member of
his own immediate family, or that
relative, or that friend, or that nei-
ghbor, or that member of the same
society or church or business or pro-
fession. Then let him picture the
monotony, the hardships and the
moral and physical dangers to be ex-
perienced. Let him remind himself
of reasons and issues which have
sent forth his friend or associate or
neighbor at the call of the nation.

1t is the Christ-like thing to do.
Louder than the call of patriotism,
clearer than the dictates of strategy,
more appealing than the claims of
our Allies, more communicative and
compelling than the sacrifcial exam
pie of the lives of the men who go
forth to fight for US and our cause
IS the example and the sovereign
word of our Lord and Master. He
laid: Unto whomsoever much has
been given, of him shall much be re
quired". Surely He has given as
much-yes, all. Of Himself He could
say that He came not to be minis
erred unto, but to minister" May
the spirit of the sacrificial God who
spared not His own Son, but freely
delivered Him up for us ALL" move
upon our Associations and the
friends of the enlisted men every
where and impel to great and expan-
:sive sacrifice of money and life!
There is an element of urgency
bout this great undertaking which
anould not be overlooked. Some
asks can wait; not this one. Many
good causes will be with us year af-
-er year, but, thank God, not this
one. The coming autumn, winter
and spring months will be the most
critical period Of the War, for most
Of the armies and for the prisoners
3f-war, owing to the prolonged strain
as it has been for SO many millions
If the mem and owing to conditions
Of economic exhaustion, social unrest
and depression of spirit which obtain
n parts of the War Zones. This
work. therefore, takes On an added
significance, and it becomes us to do
quickly and with prodigal hand what
we do. No true patriot, no true
Christian this momentous year has
anything more important to do for

Elect The Democratic Ticket

Upon mature and deliberate con-
sideration, the people Of Dorchester
county will find the candidates upon
the Democratic ticket to be gentle
men well qualified to fill the respec-
tive positions which they seek. There
is not single candidate upon the
ticket but that equals in every way
the opposing candidate upon the 9TH
er ticket. If this be true, and we be-
lieve no one will deny it, is it not
time for the people of the county to
lay aside partisanship, personal diff
ferences, and all other considerations
and lineup solidly with the party in
power?
This great country is at war; is 1t
not a time to present solio front to
the enemy? Party squabbles are 60
ing to be considered by the enemy
as meaning that the people of the
United States are not behind the gov
eminent in the conduct of this war.
w USliSNG That pau toIiSlA SASS
dictate the overwhelming election OF
the candidates of the party in pow
er, the party that must conduct the
war, and we believe that the people
of this country, whose sons and rela-
tives have gone to fight the battles
of the country, will not consider this
the proper time in which to swap
horses. We are facing the greatest
crisis this country has ever known
in it's history, we are now in the
midst of the worlds maelstrom, and
it is no time to vent personal spleen,
to punish individual grievances, or to
wage partisanship contests.
Let the people of the county stand
together as one man, and then, when
this war is over, if there are individ-
uals or parties to be punished, let it
be done in times of peace, when the
results will be local.

why We BELIEVE IN
THE $35,OOO,O0O FUND
Some Tasks Can Wait; Not This One
OF Serving 24,OO0.OOO Men Be-
tween Now And Spring, The Most
Critical Period of The War.
(By John r. Mott, General Sec.

(By John r. Mott, General Sec.)
The National War Work Council
of the Associations at its recent
meeting in the Bankers Club in New
York, meeting attended by re-
markable body of foremost laymen
and citizens from all parts of Ameri-
ca, unanimously recommended the
raising of fund of $55,00O,000 to
serve the men Of the armies and ma
yies of the United States and certain
of her Allies, such as Russia, France
and Italy, as well as the prisoners
of war throughout the war zones, for
the period ending June 80, 1918.
The spirit of highest patriotism, the
dictates of soundest military strategy
and business judgment, and the prin-
ciples and spirit of Christ Himself
combined to influence this significant
action. The reasons which let these
men of large vision and of proved
wisdom and capacity to decide that
this sum be secured are the reasons
which should prompt everyone who
reads these lines to do all in his
power to ensure the success of the
undertaking by sacrifcial gift, by
constant advocacy and by earnest
work to enlist the cooperation of
others.
The sum of s35,OO0,00O is needed
because of the vast number of men
to be served. Before next July the
American Army and Navy will in all
probability include 100000 men.
The National War Work Council is
also called upon to extend its work
throughout the Russian Army of ov-
er 100000 men, the French Army
CT about 100000 men, the Italian
Army of possibly 100000, and the
smaller armies of Belgium, Mesopo-
tamia, India, East Africa, Egypt and
Roumania, numbering probably L.
100000 more. Moreover, the $780,
900 prisoners of war imperatiyely re-
quire the continued practical minis
try of America through the Associa-
ton. Here then are total of a.
100000 men whose physical, intel
lectual, social and spiritual better
ment we wish to promote. When we
remember that in no previous war
have more than 100000 men been
opposed to each other, and that here
are twelve times that number to
whom we have q mission, the colos-
sal magnitude OF the undertaking is
apparent.
We believe in securing the $685.
100000 because there could be no
more economical or important use OF
funds. 1t means an expenditure of
$3.50 per man. This statement is in
sense misleading because it is pro-
posed to spend the disproportionate
sum of nearly SO on each American
enlisted man. Ten dollars, however,
is very small amount to devote to
the welfare of an American soldier
or sailor, especially when we con
slider the range of the needs which
are to be met, the variety of the
means to be employed, and, above

Bear Sent by Express

Expressmen are not familiar, as a
rule with the delicate task Of handling
black bears, and to assure proper
treatment for one that passed through
Fort Worth, Texas, recently instruc-
tons were posted on the side OF the
cage. They read:
"A pan and sprinkling pot accom-
panies the shipment. See that the
bear Is watered as often. as possible
and given two loaves Of bread daily.
If the weather is warm, take c hose
and sprinkle the bear" o.
And this in big letters: Bears
are wild and dangerous. Keep people
away from the cage"
~ :fhe bear was consignsSd from a gov
eminent agent at Yellowstone park to
Ray Lambert, commissioner Of santa
ton at San Antonio. It took eight ex-
pressmen to transfer the cage from
one express car to another. All the
while the bear was keeping up such
a roar and fight that travellers risked
missing their trains to watch the per-
Torrance.
