This is not statement OF theory. II is a FACT
Today's beef prices prove it.
Armour's selling prices on dressed beef carcasses
are today LESS than they were two years ago. For
our fiscal year l9l3-l4, Armours average Selling
price of beef per hundredweight was Sll .98; for
our fiscal year 1856, it is but $ll:8O. The
reason is that beef production during this period
has kept pace With demand.
And here it is highly significant to note that, for
many years, the prices paid by Armour to the pro-
ducer for every kind of meat have borne contnu-
ously relation to the prices charged by Armour
for the meat after it has been prepared. The ratio
between the two figures has hardly varied.
When the farmers cost of producing meat has
gone doWn, Armours prices HkeWise have dropped.
And never unless farmers prices have increased.
have Arnour's prices gone up.
Yet, when production costs advance,
Armours prices do not allOays advance In propor-
ton. Right at the present time, Armour is paying
oUer 27%O more for hog than n 1914. But Armour's
selling price for pork o1s Ia barometer other cuts
OF pork( shows an 'vai.c of less than lO%o.
Such instances, of course, due to scientific
utilization of by-producf- f--rnother Ms by which
Armour helps keep food prices at true-uaiue
levels for you.

To true knowledge Of the situation it Is neces-
to first realize that Armour is not producer Of
Materials Armour sole interest in such pro-
duction is to help the farmer make It greater.
The real work ofArmour IS to scientifically
pare and efficiently market the national yied.
Rightly done, the result spe.s true economy
every American family
On the most superficial consideration, it be-
comes obvious that the cos; to Armour of doing
II. 3 work must be practically Without change.
And his is True certain factors, such reduced
pr dl ton higher labor costs, etc. do affect these
pre- 1, ration ard marketing charges somewhat, but
neD'r in LroDortion to the huctuatng market prices
caused by varying production.
How small is the profit that Armour receives for
performing this valuable necessary work may be real
lied when YOU consider thai the amount retained
by this organization Is oppr roxin,ateiy but
three cents eUery dollars rOorth of business

and this profit has not increased yith the

The actual fact of the matter is that since
Armour in way produces controls production Of
materials, Armour cannot Influence prices

Salient Held BY Germans

London, May 23.-Evidences aceu-
mulate that General Petain is prepar-
ing for another offensive drive on a
large scale along the Aisne and Cham
pagne fronts.
On Monday a brilliant series of at
tacks won for the French all the inn
portant observation posts in the Mo-
ronvilliers region in the Champagne,
and last night every one of the OBJ
servatjon points in the Caronne re-
gion dominating the Ailette valley,
were taken by the French.
This vantage ground will give the
French the needed opportunity to pre-
pare effectively for their next drive,
which would imperil the Rheims sal
tent held by the Germans. More inn
portant it would open up still further
the route by which General Petain ev-
identity is planning to strike at the
German key point of Laon from the
rear and compel its evacuation and
the falling back OF the entire German
line in this sector.
