meat industry OF the country in order
TO control Tf1r three Pr1r1ri pat 11eeesst-
ties OF war t,mcs-,ncat, coal and
transportation. This was plainly in
dicated at todays' session OF the Fed
eral Trade Commission here.
An official connected with the COM
mission which has been investigating
meat conditions here, prophesied that
the government intended to seize all
the packing and allied industries, and
Francis ]. Ileney. who is examining
witnesses, did not deny that the plan
was being considered in Washington.
The course the investigation is
taking is plain enough said Mr..

Commission. have been ordered to

lines taken. The government will do
what it sees tit.
The federal government will as
sune control of the business through

commission who disclosed the pur-
pose OF the countrywide meat invest
igation now in progress. II cannot

questioning tending to illustrate how
the government could operate the
meat industry To keep down prices
and conserve the supply.

Fast Draft Scheme for Poor Men
Fails.

couuty draft board believed it had
ma,i, qticl; work oi classifying all
married men oi draft age hy putting
he men with incomes OF less than
$500 a year in class 1 and those with
greater incomes in class J.
Eut the poorer men startc da storm
of protest. They appealed from the
decision tla, they should have to go
to war merely because they were poor
and the others remain at home be-
cause TREY were well-todo.
Thc\ board explained that the poor
men sAlll could provide for their fam
lies as well from their wages as SOL
diers as they now do.
The appeal board at Jefferson City,
however. ruled that the classificatio

Proved Great
Attraction


The dismantling of the display OF
photographs OF Fremont county sol
diers and sailors in the windows Of
the store OF the Harding Hardware
Company at 6O5-607 Main street. on
Wednesday OF this week removed one
OF the most attractive exhibitions Of
the kind ever seen IN canpn City
The display was made At the IN
stance Of Mrs. r. NJ Harding. chair
man Of the district committee OF the
United War Work campaign. and
other ladies as stimulus in promot-
ing the success of that enterprise. 1t
was called "a patriotic window" and
heartily deserved the title bestowed
upon it. Just how much It contri-
buted to the victory in the great W.;
work drive just carried on in this
county cannot. of course. be deter
mined. but that 1t was of materia, help
in the attainment of the goal goes
without saying.
Several hundred photographs OF the
boys in khaki" were shown. represent
ing all branches Of the military and
naval service, as well as the Red Cross
and the war beneyo,ences that are do
ing SO much for the soldiers in Eu-
rope and at the cantonments in this
country. Pictures OF men were on dis

In France. England. Belgium. Italy, 81

Philippines, Hawaii. Cuba. the canal
zone and in the army training camps

OF the sailor boys in the exhibit repre-
sented service for Uncle Sam on the
seven seas. and they are today doing
duty on shipboart in all parts OF the
world. from Archangel to Cape Horn
and from Egypt to vladivostok.
Daily for more than week crowds
of interested people stood in front OF
''the patriotic window and studied
the photographs Of our fighting men
at home and abroad. and the men and
women who are ministering to theiI
comfort through the Red Cross. the
Y. NJ. c. A. the Knights of Columbus

His address is Harry c. Wray, Com.

LARGE ORDERS ARE
SENT TO WASHINGTON
For Materials For Comfort Kits BY
the Local Red Cross Unit.

A rush order for materials for the
manufacture of $500 comfort kits for
our soldiers overseas has been dis
patched to Washington, in order that
the local unit of the Red Cross can
get busy on the making up and have
them ready for shipment to France
at as early date as possible.
The order concerning the need of
kits and explaining why they are not
to be filled in this county is as fol-
lows:
"All articles not absolutely essen
tial to the comfort and we'll being of
the men have been excluded from this
list. The War Department has ruled
that men will not be allowed to take
comfort kits with them.
AS practically all articles con-
tanned in the Red Cross comfort kit
can be obtained by the men in the
camps and environments in the United
States, the Red Cross has decided not
to distribute comfort kits to men for
use in this country. The Red Cross
will, however, be fable to arrange for
shipment overseas, through the regu-
lar freight channels, of a large guam
>tity of comfort kits for distribution
through its foreign commissions. We
have decided to make such shipments
because we feel that under conditions
existing over there our kits provide
additional comfort for the men which
is really appreciated, and that the
expenditure of funds for kits to be
distributed in this way is fully justi-
fable"
