The meat was purchased by a local merchant who shipped it to the creeks. where the people are having bear treat.

War Taxes Fail
To Check Midvale
Steel's Prosperity
Profits in 1917 SITS a Share,
Against $15.73 in
1916

Though Federal taxation cut deeply
Into the profits Of the Midvale Steel
and Ordnance Company in the year
ended December 81 last, $25, 731 90
having been set aside for the payment
OF the excess profits impost, the bal
ance available for dividends on the
S10O,000,000 Of capital stock outstand-
ing was S4,116,347 larger than the bal
ance in 1916, when no war taxes were
levied on its profits.
Earnings from operations after pay
ing all expenses were SG9,S3S,25
against S36,71S,S19 the year before.
Profits from other sources also ex-
panded so that total income mounted
$33, 799,759 to $71 ,405,776. From this
there was deducted in addition to the
tax provision mentioned, $407,939 for
charges, $6,826,421 for depreciation
practically double the obsolescence ap
preparation of 1916-and S2,862,947 for

equal to S17.78 per $50 share, compared
with s15.73 the year before.
At the end of the year the total sur
plus stood at SAL ,461 sci, against Sis

Although some Of the banks were
more liberal last week with regard to
their offerings of funds running for
fixed periods, the local money market
underwent little change. Rates were
firmly maintained all along the line,
with the rate bulk of the call money
loaned at the Stock Exchange during
the week being placed at 6 per cent.
This rate also ruled in the market
for time loans, the lending of several
millions Of dollars in fixed maturities
failing to bring about any apprecia
bic easing in the general situation.
The banks have Of late shown an in
clination to purchase more freely of
acceptances, particularly those which
are eligible for discount with. the
Federal Reserve Bank. This, Of
course, is due to the fact that in a
time of tight money like the present
investments that can readily be taken
to the reserve institution and quickly
converted into cash constitute most
desirable earning asset. The CONNER
cial paper market has been inactive
of late, with rates holding firm at 6
per cent.

Gated in the city of Nashville, and have
made careful survey Of the cause Of
farm labor shortage. find that farm
ers refuse to give the farm laborcr a
square deal as far as wage is con-
ccrncd. Take conditions in Nashville
as an example. The government is
building gigantic powder plant in
this city. There is a constant influx Of
laborers, white and colored, from all
states south and west of Tennessee,
and the majority of them are farm la
borers. l have asked a number of the
colored laborers why they leave the
farm. and they answered that the farm
crs refuse to pay a living wage; that
they could not support a family of from
three to seven on SO or rs cents a day,
with flour selling at $3.50 for a twenty
four-pound sack and meal at five and
six cents 4 pound. The industrial plants
are paying we'll for their services and
offer better housing conditions. Both
white and co,ored people are leaving
this section for points in the East for
better wages.
Capital has always held labor down
in this section, and the farmer has al
ways catered to capital against labor.
Now labor has awakened to the advan-
tage it possesses owing to the shortage.
At least 10 Ter cent of the farmhands
Of this section are looking to the diff
ferent industrial centres for better
wages. Naturally they regard SO and
IS cents day offered by farmers as a
farce. The farmer has been used to
working his laborers from before day
break until after shutdown, with no
recreation on Sunday. The laborer has
to water the stock on Sunday and
hasn't even time for going to church in
the majority of cases. Is this square
deal to labor?
We are having the same trouble here
in this city since Nashville started to
build the powder plant The average
business man does not think he should
pay his help more to keep them, but
nevertheless the help are notifying him
if he doesn't raise wages they are go
ing to the powder plant. The majority
Of the bankers and business men do not
know the hardships of laborers and
never will know because they do not
ego in the trenches" to get the la
borer's side Of the matter. They think
only of how big crops can be made each
year and do not take into consideration
the conditions under which laborers
produce these crops.
So now in this section many of the
large farms are being subdividcd into
city lots and sold at auction for the
want of man power to till them. We
will have a sale here Thursday of a
very large farm.

New York Again
Ready for Service
When the signal comes from
Washington on April 6, on the first
anniversary Of Americas entrance
into the great struggle, to start the
campaign, the Liberty Loan Commit
tee of the Second Federal Reserve
District will plunge into the fray,
fully prepared to win. The Second
Federal Reserve District, trars-
lated into terms that are familiar to
all, covers all of New Yorl. State.
the twelve northern counties of New
Jersey and Fairfield County, Conn.
The ideal way to handle the loan
in this district would perhaps be to
invite all the inhabitants to call per-
sonally on Benjamin Strong, chair
man of the Liberty Loan Commit
tee, at the headquarters in the Equi-
table Building, and talk over the
matter. That directness would have
been feasible when all the real es-
tate on Manhattan Island brought
S26 in barter and 100 Broadway was
northern outpost of the city. But
despite the 100000 helpers which
Governor Strong has, including the
various subcommittee on every con-
ceivable thing and the vigorous
army of Boy Scout helpers, it would
be obviously impracticable to invite
100000 persons to come to the
loan headquarters to ascertain why
they ought to contribute to the over
subscription of the new $3,00O,OO0,-
600 government loan.
The next best method of approach,
in the opinion of the Liberty Loan
Committee strategists who are plan
ming their campaign along the broad
est lines, will be to send representa-
tives of the committee out among the
people. The plan is to send mes
sengers, in the form of speakers and
printed matter, to every person
whom fate and the immigration laws
have permitted to find their homes in
this district. The message is to be
personal, individual, intimate.
The campaign strategy has been
planned and thought out in advance
The organization which will be re-
sponsible for the placing Of the bonds
will reach, with it's numerous ramii
cations, into the very heart of the
people. In every local district, int
which the larger area has been sub
divided, groups of representative
men and women have banded to-
gether to participate in the cam
paign. The instructions, the larger
strategy, will come from the Central
Liberty Loan Committee, but most
Of the actual work of selling bonds
and talking bonds will be done by
members Of the nine hundred local
committees familiar with the locale
in which they will operate.

Dollars Keep War
Machine in Motion

To spread this lesson in war
finance so widely that every one of
the thirteen million men, women and
children in the Second Federal Re-
serve District learns it is the special
task of the New York Liberty Loan
Committee. The facts about the
fighting character of Liberty bonds
stand out much more sharply in con-
nection with the third Liberty Loan
campaign than they did at the time
of the first and second Liberty Loan
drives. Last May and last October
Americans were asked to lend their
dollars to help the United States
prepare to fight the Germans. Now
they are to be urged to turn their
money into bonds so that their dol
lars can keep the nations fighting
machinery in motion-and help it
grow.
At terrific cost the present often
sive in France serves as the object
lesson for the next Liberty Loan
drive. In intensity and effectiveness
it surpasses ten thousandfold the
publicity features, including the
trenches to be built in Central Park,
which have been created especially
for the bond campaign. The mill.
tary enterprise now going on in
Northern France makes the truth so
plain that none can fail to realize
that dollars turned into the United
States Treasury will help make the
world safe to live in, and that dol.
lors that go elsewhere may be dis
sipated.
With the issue so clearly drawn,
the Liberty Loan Committee of this
district, composed of the nations
foremost financial men, will strive to
make the people hew straight to the
line in their thinking And if the
people think correctly about the DO.
tentiality of their savings, present
and future, the men of the Liberty
Loan Committee are confident that
they will act properly and buy bonds
according to their ability.
Because their case is so good OF,
the face of it is not deterring the
Liberty Loan Committee in it's plans
to leave no stone in the conscious.
