MILLS MAKE 80 PER CENT

Washington, June 29.-Investiga-
tions have led to the conclusion that
profiteering exists among American
industries at the present time, due in
part to "inordinate greed and bare
faced fraud" the federal trade com.
mission announced today in a report
sent to the senate. The report was
submitted at the request Of the senate
In order that steps might be taken to
remedy present conditions. ~,
Outstanding features of the report,
each supported by extensive data,
are:
The heavy profit made by the low
cost due.t0 q government fixed price
for the whole country. S
Meat Packers Profit. t.
The heavy profit made by the meat
packers and allied industries, and by
the flour millers. .5.E'
The trade tendency to increase and
maintain prices against the forces Of
competitions, u. ~. =: q = 80
The products, which the report COW
ers are steel copper, ZINC, nickel, sui

While the price OF flour has been
stabilized by fixing a price for wheat
and maximum margin Of profit for
flour. the report shows that profits in;
creased from an average of II per
cent on the Investment for the four
wears ending June 80, 1916 to; nearly
% per cent in the year. ending June

The report declares that five meat

tion in other products. Their manipu.
lation OF the market embraces every
device that Is useful to them without
regard to law. The reward expressed
in terms OF profit, reveals that four
of these concerns have pocketed in
1915. 1916 and 1917, $14O,000,000. How
ever. delicate a definition is framed
for 'profiteering," these packers have
preyed upon the people unconscion-
ably. Investigation in the coal min
ing industry reveals in the opinion OF
the commission, that despite govern
ment price fixing large margins of
profit have been made.
Abnormal Profits.
Seven steel companies made abnor-
NAL profits before the government
fixed price for the product, and II
is shown that some have since made
returns. Profits Of the Unit
ed States steel corporation are Festi-
mated at 24.0 per cent in 1917 as

BOOZE In A COFFIN
Undertaken at Washington Arrested

Washington, Kan, Jan. 4.-Whis-

which liquor dispensed in dry
Washington.
This was disclosed in police court
when Charles T. Davis, colored, of
III T street northwest, who conducts
an undertaking establishment, was re-
leased on $1,000 bond to await trial
by a jury on a charge of selling whis-
ky in violation of the Sheppard law
Davis undertaking establishment

The police declared they found a

Waste NO FEED NOW
Farm Products That Can't Be Sold
Should Be Used.

Manhattan, Kan, Jan. 4.-Feeds
which have little or no market value
may be marketed profitably by feed
ing to livestock, points out w. E.
Grimes, assistant professor of farm
management in the Kansas State Agri-
cultural college. Such feeds include
corn stalks, slower, wheat straw and
damaged hay.
The value of the feed is the return
which livestock will make for it, and
the main question arising in it's feed
ing is the class of livestock to which
it can be fed with the most profit.
Sometimes it is advisable to feed such
products to beef cattle or stock cat
tie, or in other cases it might be more
profitable to feed it to dairy cattle or
sheep.
Problems to be considered are the
cost of handing the feeds and the
class of livestock which is to con-
sumo them. The returns which the
livestock make for these feeds above
the cost of feeding is usually a net
gain.
