and so on.
They have also been distribu-

'sThe Little Black Bag

Perhaps you read in Fridays
Kansas City Times an %illustrat-
ed poem entitled 'The Little
Black Bag" You saw the sigma
ture, Jennie Warren Vivian ;
perhaps, you recognized it as be-
longing to a lady living in Lex
ington, and then, perhaps you
passed it up and said, "a mighty
pretty little poem, l wonder who
she is" Look at the name again
and read the poem
The little black bag came home today,
with the clothes he wore when he
went away.
The neat new suit of navy blue,
The pretty pink shirt and the tan
shoes, too;
Tenderly, lovingly I put them away;
For | know, l know on some fine dav,
When victory is won and the world
is free,
My boy will come sailing home to me.
Young son of mine, boy of my
dreams!
! long for him so that sometimes it
seems
/ hear his quick, light step on the
stair,
| seem to see him standing there,
With a smile on his face and the wind
in his hair,
And my heart sobs out this mothers
prayer:
Dear God, bring him home to me,
When %victory's won and the world is
free"

SOLDIERS CHANCES
Same Statistics Respecting the
Perils of the Great War.

Great as the danger and large
as the losses in the aggregate,
the individual soldier has plenty
of chances Of coming out of the
war unscathed, or at least not
badly injured.
Based on the mortality stats
tics Of the allied armies, a SOL
diers' chances are as follows:
Twenty-Five chances of COM
ing home to one chance of being
killed.
Forty-nine chances of recov-
ering from wounds to one chance
of dying from them
One chance in 500 of losing a
limb.
Will live five years longer be-
cause of physical training, is
freer from disease in the army
than in civil life, and has better
medical care at the front than
at home.
In other wars from ten to ff-
teen men died from disease to
one from bullets in this war one
man dies from disease to every
ten from bullets.
For those of our fighting men
who do not escape scatheless the
Government under the soldier
and sailor insurance law gives
protection to the wounded and
their dependents and to the fam
lilies and dependents of those
who make the supreme sacrifice
for their country.-S pokane

LARGEST AMERICAN
INDUSTRY
Meat Production of All COuntri-
es For All Ages Surpassed.

NANal Vi al
es For All Ages Surpassed.
Chicago, Aug. THE meat
record of all countries and all
ages have now been surpassed
by amazing production in Amer
lea, according to an authorita-
tive statement issued by Ar
mour and Company,
One packer alone has slaught-
cred about 1,400, 900 cattle in
the first thirty-four weeks of his
fiscal year 1918. The total num-
Der of animals killed by the lead
ing packers during the three
fiscal years falling within the
world war period and ending in
the fall of 1917, is given as
los, $1,000, classified as fol-
lows: cattle, 1900, 900; sheep,
100000; hogs, 81, 100000.
1t is believed that the aggre-
gate gross sales of the five larg-
,er packers will approach $3,OO0,-
for the year 1918. On
this whole amount the average
net profit indicated now will be
two and three cents per
of sales. But on meat the
average profit is running less
than the two cents per dollar of
sales which is less than the lin
t allowed by the Federal regu-
lation restricting profits on meat
to nine per cent on the capital
invested.
These sales figures represent
an Increase of a full third over
the operations of these concerns
last year and also show that
their largest year before the
world war and has trebled itself
in five years. These large to-
tails are of course due primarily
70 increased prices, rather than
70 increased tonnage.
The meat business is now be-
ieved to be the largest Ameri-
IAN industry, and the operations
II these concerns alone prob
ably constitutes one-twentieth
the %country's manufactured
output.
The five leading packers made
gross sales agregating S5,OOO,-
for the three-year peri
ID 1915-1916-1917. Their aver
age earnings in the same period
we're about 8 cents per dollar of
sales, including even the most
non-edible, by-product
with the rest.

EXPENSIVE PERQUISITE
Costs Many Millions to Keep Up
the Franking Privilege.

A few days ago one of the
Southern members of Congress
arose to remark that he had
made a speech at some sort of
celebration not long before, and
that there had been requests for
copies of it. So he obtained u
nanipous consent to have the
speech printed in The Congress
ional Record, saying he would
then have the right to have it
bound in pamphlet form and
franked to any one who desired
it. This is not an isolated exam
pie of the abuse of the frank
ing privilege. The speech was
not one of any great public in
terest. It interested the man who
made it because he made it, so
he thought nothing of the ex-
pense his action would be to the
Government. He took advantage
of an old custom and will frank
this speech hither and yon at
the expense of the uninterested
taxpayers.
Jesse H. Neal, Executive Sec
rotary of the Associated Bust
ness Papers, told a Congression-
al committee a few days ago
that abolishing the franking
privilege would add $25, 900, 900
or more to the Governments
postal revenues. 1t is not of rec
ord that this suggestion was re.
ceived with shouts of approval.
People have been making similar
statements to Congress for
years, but every effort to make
a Congressman pay postage on
his mail has met with refusal.
Congress did not hesitate to
raise the rates of postage on
newspapers and periodicals until
many of them are restricted to
their immediate neighborhood
and some are practically taxed
out of existence. Such drastic ac-
ton was considered a war mea-
sure and well timed. But the
thought of even having to paw
the regular postage on a letter
sent out by a member of Con-
gress, to say nothing of paying
for the great mass of useless
tommyrot that cutters up the
is abhorrent. Congress
could do a great deal of cleaning
around its own dooryard in this
respect if the members could
see the situation as the rest Of
the country sees it.-Indianapo-
lis News. j

of the cattle on the hoof by a.
bout $3.50, and that OF this $3.50
the cost of dressing, selling and
freight used up about $7.4O,
leaving a net profit of $1.1O, or
a small FRACTION of a cent a
pound for dressed beef.
Records kept at the stockyards
show also that in the six months
ending April 30 last (the six
months after the nine per cent
law on meat, one packer paid
1923, OO0,O0 for live stock
which yielded 1855 SOC, 900
pounds dressed weight; and that
the same packer paid $21O, OOO,-
600 in the same period of 1917
for live stock which yielded l..
S38,3OO,OOO the weight thus in
creasing 1872 per cent while the
cost of the live stock to the
packer was increasing 81 per-
cent.
1t is estimated that the cap
ltal employed by the five pack
ers in their businesses at pres.
ent aggregates more than $780,
100000.

How the State Corporation Com
mission Does Things

An item of interest to this COM
munity and one which is of gen
eral interest because it shows
the public what the State Cor
poration Commission of which
Hugh Williams is chairman, is
doing. If you have a complaint
such as is shown below you will
know who to take it up with.
This cause resulted from a
letter from A. w. Graham of
Lordsburg addressed to C. A.
Wheelon, secretary of the Ma
sonic bodies of Santa Fe, involv-
ing the question of rate on tick
cts which he purchased at Lords
burg for Santa Fe and return on
account of the Masonic meeting;
and also letter from Mr.. Wheelon
concerning the ticket purchased
by Geo. H. Kinkle at East Las
Vegas to Santa Fe and return on
account of same convention, the
return portion of which he did
not use.
THE A. w. Graham complaint
appeared to result from the fact
that the agent of the Southern
Pacific at Lordsburg was not in
formed that round trip tickets
of a fare and a third were on sale
at that station during the month
of October, 1917. or at the time
Mr.. Graham applied for the tick
cts, and consequently he and his
wife travelled to Santa Fe by way
of Ell Paso on one way tickets in
stead of receiving the benefit of
the round trip tickets via Dem
ing and the Santa Fe; and upon
submitting the matter to General
Passenger Agent Cornell of the
Santa Fe lines, and although Mr..
Graham and his wife travelled
through Ell Paso instead of Dem
ing, it was found that a refund
of $4. 20 was due him, draft for
which was received by the Com
mission in his favor on January
10, 1918, and acknowledged by
him on February 14th; and the
round trip portion of the ticket
purchased by Mr.. Kinkle was
forwarded to the passenger de-
partment of the Santa Fe for re
demption and a draft for $2.70
was sent to the Commission,
which was forwarded to him on
December 18th and acknowledge
ed on the 10th, and both of the
cases being satisfactorily adjust
ed, the cause was closed Febru-
airy Goth, 1918.

Every army in the past has

tribute to the men of revolution

should be hOnored by its women
