his hat blew through an open car win

q stray cap that was a monstrosity.
1t was almost dusk when the train

follow their example, when he noticed

H REASON WHY.

In a recent speech President Townley said: ut appears that
in 1918 Swift & Co., made a net profit of nine million dollars"
In 1916, latter the war got going in pretty good shape" Swift
& Co., raked in a profit of twenty millions. The Cuban-American
Sugar Co. had to be content with a profit of only $356,000 in 1913,
"but thanks to the kaiser and his accosiates," the profits of this
company in 1915 were IS, 2s5 ooo. Armour & Co., increased their
profits from $780, 900 in 1913 to $2O,00O,O 900 last year. The Du-
pont Powder Co, did much better than that. Before the war their.
net profits ran to about %$4,500000 annually, while in 1916 they
pulled down $82,00O 900 of profit. But it remained for the United
Steel Corporation to make a regular killing. In the picturesque
language of Mr.: Townley, I'm 1913 $81, 100000 of profits was all
they could dig out of your hides. But since the war started, they
have been able SO well to manage their business and your business
that they made $271, 100000 in 1916"
If the profit realized by these corporations had been greater
Townley would have said so. Allow seventy-fve per cent for ex-
aggeration and then it is made clear why we pay so cents for 80
cent bacon, II cents for 6 cent sugar, and steel rails have "histed"
so high that the Great Northern can't finish the Lewiston short
line without throwing in the balance of the system to get the
rails-New Rockford Transcript.
