The figures given ON profits are misleading and the statement
that the packers have a monopoly is unsupported by the facts.
The meat business is one of the largest American industries.
Any citizen who would famiiarize himself with its details must
be prepared for large totals.
The report states that the aggregate profits of four large pack
ers were $~140yO00,O00 for the three war years.
This sum is compared with i 100000 as the average annual
profit for the three years before the war, making It appear that
the war profit was $121, 100000 greater than the pre-war profit.
This compares a three-year profit with a one year proft-a man
ifestly unfair method of comparison. It is not only misleading,
but the Federal Trade Commission apparently has made a mistake
in figures themselves.

The aggregate three-year profit of $14o,0o00oo was earned on
sales of over four and a half billion dollars. It means about three
cents on each dollar of sales-or a mere fraction of a cent per
pound of product.
Packers profits are a negligible factor in prices Of live stock
and meats. No other large business is conducted upon such small
margins of profit.

No evidence is offered by the Federal Trade Commission in sup
port Of the statement that the large packers have a monopoly.
THE Commissions own report shows the large number and i'm
portance Of other packers.
The packers mentioned in the statement stand ready to prove
to any fair minded person that they are in keen competition with
each other, and that they have no power to manipulate prices.
If this were not true they would not dare to make this positive
statement.
Furthermore, government figures show that the five large pack
es mentioned in the report account for only about one-third of
the meat business of the country.
They wish it were possible to interest you in the details of their
business. Of how, for instance, they can sell dressed beef for less
than the cost of the live animal, owing to utilization of by-products,
and of the wonderful story Of the methods of distribution through
out this broad land, as well as in other countries.
The five packers mentioned feel justified in cooperating with
each other to the extent Of together presenting this public state
ment.
They have been able to do a big job for your government IN it's
time of need; they have met all war time demands promptly and
completely and they are willing to trust their case to the fairnind-

HOW TO HANDLE
SOLDIER MAIL
Use Strong Wrappings for
Parcels

Tons of mail are going to theboys
oversee, and difficulties are being
experienced in delivering it be-
cause much of it is carelessly adj
dressed. This fact has prompted
Otto Prayer, Second Assistant
Postmaster-General, to instruct
postmasters to notify senders Of
mail to soldiers, sailors and ma
rines of the American Expedition
airy Forces abroad that care should
be taken to write given names in
full, preceding or following the
name of the addressee, with the
necessary title, such as private,
sergeant, lieutenant, etc.
The need for the full given name
of the addressee is apparent when
it is explained that the War De-
partment has a card index file that
may be consulted relative to the
unbelievable mail for the troops,
reference to which file furnishes
no information when a letter is ad-
dressed u. F. Smith," for instance,
and it cannot be determined
whether it is for James F. Smith,
John F. Smith or jeremiah F.
Smith.
In addition to the given name of
the addressee and his title, there
should also be added the full name
of the unit or organization to
which the addressee is assigned,
it being insufficient in the way of
further address to add the words
american Expeditionary Forces "
The department particularly

ment with him. He showed the
famous hat with which all of our
troops are equipped, the short
bayonet, three kinds of gas masks,
star shell and the famous iron bill
let, with which the German troops
are armed when on raids. Lieuten-
ant Skidmore's talk was exceeding
ly interesting and told the actual
experiences of one who has been
in the trenches and lover the top"
It brought the truth much closer
to all who were privileged to hear
him and no one can doubt that
every one was made more patriotic
and more eager to serve in the
cause by listening to Lieutenant
Skidmore's' stirring address. Dur
ing the evening Mrs. Cam, ac-
companied by Miss Nellie Wilson
at the piano and Bob Sumwalt with
the violin, sang number of songs
in a most acceptable manner. One
of the numbers was Keep the
Home Fires Burning" in which all
of the Sons joined on the chorus,
with great enthusiasm.
Such occasions do more to
strengthen home ties and unite the
state in solid unit than we are
able to express. Newark hopes
that the opportunity may be afford
ed to help play host soon again.
Newark post. (Newark, Del.) 1910-1969, 1918-05-29

urges that letters, post cards and
packages be not addressed with
lead pencil, and that every piece OF
mail matter bear the name and ad-
dress of the sender so that in case
of non-delivery letters may be
promptly returned to the senders.
The. long transit taken by the
mail before it reaches the delivery
points abroad calls for the use OF
envelopes that are substantially
made, as experience has shown
that well-made envelopes retain
clear and distinct the addresses
written thereon, while in the case
of envelopes of poor material the
writing becomes indistinct, render
ing uncertain the correct reading
of the name or some part of the adj
dress.
The Post Office Department is
daily in receipt of reports to indi-
cate that packages reach United
States post offices in Europe in
such dilapidated condition that
repacking has frequently to be un-
dertaken before delivery can be eff
fected. Senders are cautioned to
use heavy weight paper, canvas or
cloth as wrapping for packages,
and when canvas or cloth is en-
ployed the address should be writ
ten on a shipping tag with the
name and address Of the sender on
the reverse side.

Committee Plans Helpful Pro,

An interesting program is being
arranged for Farmers Day to be
held at the College Farm on Satur-
day, June Sth. The occasion is an
annual event, attended by farmers
from all parts of Delaware. The
committee in charge is planning to
make the Day this year the best
that Delaware has ever expert
enced.
The purpose of the meeting is to
bring the farmers of the State in
closer work with the experimental
work that is being. carried on by
the College. In the afternoon
there will be meetings of the
Grange and of the Executive Com
mittee of the three County Farm
Bureaus. The heads of the various
department buildings, explaining
to the farmers the experimental
work that has been carried on dur
ing the past year.
1t would seem that it is the pat
riotic duty of every farmer of the
State to take advantage of this OPP
portunity to get in touch with this
experimental work so that he can
go home and better handle his
crops and his live stock, an thus
increase the food for our boys

In the afternoon Mr.. Ketcham,
Master Of the State Grange of
Michigan will address the audi
ence. The State Council Of De-

prandil" exercises were in charge
of Toast Master Willets, who spoke
in most impressive manner to the
Sons. With few appropriate re-
marks President Mitchell was in
troduced and spoke in his usual
happy vein. He told how welcome
the Sons were to their native state,
how almost universally the people
of the town and surrouning coun-
try had contributed to the welcome
that he extended, how proud the
College and the State were in hav-
ing so many Sons come back annu-
ally in this manner to the native
State and how proud Newark was
to be honored on this occasion. The
next speaker was the Secretary of
State, Honorable E. c. Johnson, of
Newark. Mr.. johnson extolled Della
ware for the men that Delaware
has produced He referred to the
fact that Delaware has the right
of line in every national procession
of the states and enumerated the
many ways in which Delaware has
maintained her early reputation
for being first, during the past year
of our national crisis. Mr.. john
son was followed by Mr.. Fox,
Judge of the Juvenile Court of
Philadelphia. In Mr.. Fox's adj
dress, he told of the work of the
Juvenile Court, the big brother
movement, and warmed the hearts
of all his hearers by telling them
what had been accomplished to
help the boys in Philadelphia, who
had not only redeemed themselves
in the eyes of the community but
many of whom were now contri-
buting much to make the world
safe for democracy. The last
speaker of the evening was Lieu
