PROFITS FROM SMALL MARGIN.

The figures contained in the annual report OF
one of the great packing houses of the country
show the narrow margin of profit which is OBJ
tanned per unit in this industry and empha-
sizes the fact that it is volume rather than per
centages that produces dividends. In five
years the average profit on cattle was only
$122 per head before deducting interest on
borrowed money, while on sheep and lambs 1t
was but 14.9 cents per head, including receipts
from all by-products. The hogs did better, pro
ducing 585 cents profit per animal, with the
lard earnings swelling this figure to 600. The
bv-products were notable addition to the
earning power of the plant giving tanglbly
measurable emphasis to the boast that an
American packer utilizes all of the hog except
the squeal There has also been, in these lat
ter days of skyrocketing prices, an appreciable
amount of unearned increment secured by the
increase in value of meat products in the inter
val between the day of slaughter and the day
of marketing But the great lesson is that the
organization and the large volume Of business
done by the leaders in this industry give them
their great earnings. The packing business is
essentially an American development.

In the month of July the railways
! of the United States handled forty
eight per cent. more freight traffic
than in July, 1915, and forty-nine per
cent. more than in July, 1914, says
the Railway Age Gazette. THE rail-
roads war board has just issued sta
tistics showing that the ton mileage
of freight handled in July, 1919, was
twenty and two-tenths per cent. more
than it was in the same month OF
1916. This increase in the traffic
handled reflects a remarkable per-
Torrance in view of the fact that
the traffic of 1916 far surpassed all
records up to that time. Because
1916 was a record year. it is neces-
sary to compare the results being
obtained now with those OF years
prior to 1916 in order to realize fully
the magnitude of the achievements or
the railways in handling the present
volume of business as well as they
are. The increase in freight traffic
in July, 1917, over July, 1915. ex-
ceeded the annual freight business OF
the railways of Japan, Spain, Sweden,
New South Wales, Switzerland and
Brazil combined.
ut should be borne IN mind that
there has been almost no increase
in railway facilities within the last
two years. There was an actual de-
crease in the number of locomotives
and freight cars in service on June
80, 1916, as compared with the num-
Der in service on June 80, 1915. The
number OF locomotives and freight
cars has increased within the last
year, but the number now In service
certainly is not more than 11e per
cent. more than it was two years
ago. In other words, the roads are
handling so per cent. more tranic

"Of course, business was compare

ago. There were 265,000 surplus
freight cars on August /, 1915; on
the other hand. there is car short
age now; but there would be a
vastly larger number of untitled
acquisitions for cars if there had not
been within the last two years an
enorn GUS increase in the efficiency
with which railway equipment Is
operated.
we note that the coal mine opera
tors of the country have a friend in
official life at Washington. The
United States geological survey has
issued statement to the press dated
October IL, which bears the caption,

as compared with 1915, what may be
said for the railways, which are
handling so per cent. more traffic
than in 1915? The record being
made by the mines is fine, and de-
serves all the commentator. which
can be bestowed upon 1t. We could
wish. however, that there was some
government department which would
show as much pride regarding what
the railways are doing as the geo.

regarding what the mines are doing,

is relatively greater than that of the

SEIZURE OF ENEMY GOODS.

Our government is confiscating the huge
supply of war necessities-cotton, nickel, leath
err oil and other neutrality-suspicious. here by
German agents before our entrance INTO the
war 1t is stated that stocks valued at two and
ia half million dollars have already been taken
over, and that our secret service men know
where to lay their hands on a million bales OF
cotton, now worth one hundred and forty-three
million dollars, which German agents are hold
ing in warehouses here. It is crime under
the statute against trading with the enemy for
any man to withhold from the government such
information as he may have concerning goods
held here for Germany or German owners. A
few examples made of men who have failed to
report such holdings within their knowledge
will probably have effect to make other cltl-
zens who are thus abetting the nations enemy
see their duty clearly.

RETALIATORY MEASURES.

Thus far in the war the Prussians have been
guilty and convicted on incontestable evidence
Of habitually employing at least twenty nine
war methods which are atrOcious breaches Of
the laws of war and the laws Of nations to
which Germany one of the leading powers Of
earth had subscribed. The compiled list of
these infractions Of civilized usage is at hand
and might be set forth here; but many Of the
acts committed are so horribly shocking and so
we'll known by well informed people that it
seems needless to recount them at this time
The fact is that the militarists who had
planned this war had prepared in advance to
use every method and instrumentality, however
illegal and revolving, which could help them
win. It was a part of their plan also to terror
ize and appall the nations by terrible punish
ments inflicted on the conquered as to brighten
neutrauls into submission. This method of war
fare was openly ordered by the kaiser, as will
be remembered, when he sent an army to China
with instructions to treat the people with the
ferocity Of Huns
The astonishing feature Of the matter is that
the German philosophers, moralists and di-
vines as body, though with some honorable
exceptions, justified all this on their theory
that they were a Of supermen, entitled to
use any means OF imposing their will upon the
rest Of the world. The people were taught,
and many of them seem actually to have
thought, that acts which were crimes in 9TH

TODAY'S BIT OF VERSE
THE PURE AND BLESSED


One prayer l pray from day to day,
In church field or mart,
Whatever else may go Or stay,
Lord, make me pure in heart"
For 10! the word declares to me
THE pure in heart their God shall see!"
In storm and shine, plea is mine
Whatever hopes depart:
Though hedged my path with peace or wrath,
Lord, make me pure in heart"
For this, Thy book assureth me,
1.-THE pure in heart their God shall see!"
A bruised reed-a storm crushed weed
/ have in earth place part:
But lacking speech, my tears beseech
Lord make me pure In heart"
For it shall some time come to be
''The pure in heart their God shall see,"
Fame, fortune, friendstip-I have seen
With fearful eyes depart;
But yet cry to the vague sky
Lord make pure in heart
How should l thrill at sight of thee
"The pure in heart their God shall see!"
For when at last my lease is past,
And l have run my race,
long before my Lord to stand.
And look upon His face!
Oh, glory of eternity!
