for 1916 by the American Sugar Re-
6ning companysin the annual state
ment issued today, as against $780,

cording to the statement OF President

centage, it is claimed, is Outside OF
the Chicago packers, the smallest
margin Of profit in the manufacture
ing world"
Tables accompanying the report
show that the company's business in
1916 amounted to "a per cent of the
whole sugar production, cane and
beet, as against rs per cent of the
entire output in 1894.
The company, it is stated, has
nearly 10000 stockholders, one-half

Visiting Merchants and
Ladies Visit Stock Yards

OF the half thousand visiting mer.
chants still in the city for Merchants
Market Week, a majority spent the
forenoon in the South Side stock
yards, where they were shown
through the yards and the packing
houses.
They were conducted through the
cattle yards, the swine yards, the
sheep pens and the magnificent horse
barns in time to watch the selling
operations in all these departments.
Then with guides aplenty they were
escorted through some of the large
packing houses, where they witnessed
the killing, the dressing and packing
in all departments, winding up in
the great coolers, where the meats are
hung and stacked tons upon tons
ready for the market.
This proved an interesting enter
tainment feature for the visiting mer-
chants and ladies, for the Union
stock yards OF Greater Omaha are
so splendidly arranged with elevated
walks, runways and viaducts that it
is possible for parties to visit the
whole stretch Of yards and witness
every activity Of importance without
once stepping off the clean, dry &C.
ment and plank walks and elevated
runways. 49,

TIMELY WARNING

Scathing Arrangement of King
Potato Written by Groh
Stops Upward Trend.
BUT PEOPLE STILL EAT EN-
BY A. r. GROH.

A week or two ago | wrote scath
ing arraignment of the potato, lately
known as King Potato" | directed
at this contemplate, but expensive
vegetable a philippe OF deadly Writ
lence. l pronounced upon it the
dread anathema maranatha.
| called upon all patriots to stop
eating potatoes. That. | pointed out
was a sure. Cure" for the high price
of potatoes. For, if you stop eating
them, the spectators will be thrown
into panic, potatoes will drop tc
20 cents a peck, and then you can
laugh and wink the left eye.
Has the price of potatoes gone
down?
Well, no. But neither has it gone
up, Our article seems to have scared
the potato spectators enough so
that they didn't increase the price,
anyway.
But have the people stopped eat
ing potatoes as | called upon them
to do?
Not so you can notice it. There's
the trouble. Everybody who read my
article considered its premises sound,
its logic unassailable. They ap-
plauded my effort toward reducing
the prestige of the potato. They ap-
plauded it, ! say, and then-went
right on eating potatoes just the same
as before.
Argument Sound.
! asked one man about it. He was
telling me how sound my argument
was.
"All that's necessary is for every
body to stop eating potatoes while
the price remains so high" he said.
"That'll show the spectators what
they amount to when the people once
wake up. We don't need potatoes.
We can just as well eat other vege-
tables"
He was getting quite warmed up
with enthusiasm when | asked:
You have stopped eating potatoes
at your house, I SUPPOSED"
He was quite embarrassed. He
hem-ed and haw-ed..
well, no." he finally said. 81 can't
say that we have. But then, what
does one family amount to? Why,
we don't eat more than a peck
week. 1t wouldn't affect the demand
if we stopped eating them"
Perhaps not. But when 10000 other
families do the same thing it makes
a big difference.
Eaten in Every Way.
And so the people are eating po-
tatoes baked and fried and creamed
and 'scalloped and boiled and mashed,
French fried potatoes, German fried
potatoes, hashed potatoes, potato
puffs, potato croquettes, potato soup,
potatoes au gratin, potatoes Lyon

OMAHA PREPARING
FOR A RAIL STRIKE
Freight of All Kinds is Be-
ing Rushed Through and
Coal Bins Being Filled.
PACKERS RUSHING IN COAL

While local railroad men are not
predicting strike of the trainmen
in this territory next week, they are
working to the end that they may
be prepared to handle the situation
to the best advantage should a strike
occur. Freight of all kinds is being
rushed to destination in order to
have the lines cleared up and as lit
tile congestion as possible at any one
point.
On the lines running into Omaha
trade territory, business, so far as
freight movements are concerned,
was never better. Country mer-
chants are placing large orders with
the Omaha jobbers and in every in
stance there comes the request to
get the consignments out as soon as
possible.
From the coal fields the shipments
into the city are abnormally heavy,
especially for this season OF the year,
and the shipments going out to the
country towns are correspondingly
as great.
Not Much Steam Coal.
While there is more than the usual
quantity of coal on hand in Omaha
for the middle of March, it is con-
coded that there is nothing like
enough to supply the demand in the
event that strike of any length of
duration should occur There is
probably enough domestic coal in
storage to run the city a month or
more, but, as at all other times, there
is a shortage of steam coal
OF the extensive consumers OF
steam coal, there are but three con-
Germs, the water works company, the
electric light company and the street
railway, that ever carry any large
supply. These concerns have sufi-
Gent coal to run thirty to forty-fve
days, but with other extensive con-
sumers the supply on hand would not
run more than week to ten days.
Owners OF many of the large Of
fce buildings depend, as a rule, upon
practically daily receipts. That is,
they get carload of steam coal and
buy the next just before the former
purchase has been burned.
With a strike, it is asserted that
the packing houses are likely to be
The first of the large concerns af-
fected. South Omaha consumes an
average of about sixty carloads daily.
This consumption, in the event of
strike, would be cut materially by
The shutting down of the killing
plants, but the refrigerating rooms
would suffer.
AT the present time the refriger-
iting rooms of all the South Omaha
packing houses are filled to the roofs
With fresh meats. Immense quaint
les of coal are required in the opera
ion OF the machinery that runs the
ce-making and cold air plants and
With the supply shut off, it is asserted
hat the meats in storage would soon
spoil.
However, all of the packers are
placing orders for large quantities Of
,oal and during the last two DAYS
many trainloads have been coming
rom the Kansas and Missouri fields.
since the first Of the week six to ten
,oal trains have bcen\ coming into
south Omaha daily. Instead OF plac-
ng it in storage it is being dumped

Shipments East Subject to Delay.
The New York Central lines have
forwarded notice of an embargo on
every commodity, stating that from
connecting lines, after Saturday noon,
nothing will be accepted for ship
ment east, unless such consignments
are sent subject to indefinite delay.
The Big Four embargo notice re-
ceived by the Omaha Chicago roads,
is conditioned that, barring live stock
and perishable goods from its con-
nections, it will not receive any freight
later than Saturday noon.
Embargo notices sent out by the
other lines operating east from Chi
cago are very similar to those of the
New York Central and the Big Four.
So far nothing has been received
from the eastern lines indicating
that an embargo on passenger bust
ness is contemplated.
Southern Pacific Order.
G. w. Luce, general traffic manager
of the Southern Pacific railroad, sent
the following order yesterday to all
company agents:
