says SurgeOn-General Stokes. Outlln.
Ing the operation Of the plan, he con.
tinues:
sThere are three main working
"(D Each Local Draft Board,
through fits Chairman, will select q
Captain, who will procure the assem-.
bly, Of the registrants and obtain from
local military or naval post, State
Guard or Home Defense Unit or from
retired or disabled veterans Of the
present war an. adequate training off,
Ger.
"(2) The Captain will also invite 4
local clergyman to give Information,
instruction and advice to the young
men.
Save Time and Money.
"(S) 4 local physician will also in
struct the young men In matters Of
health, hygiene and physical well-being
In order that when they go to camp
they shall present themselves with a
consciousness Of knowledge which will
add to their strength and usefulness.
"At present the vast majority Of our
young men are called to the colors un-
trained. 1t would greatly facilitate
their being turned into soldiers and
save the government time and money
II when they are called they are pro-
vided with some knowledge Of military
training and a sense of discipline and
organization.
"The position Of local Captain. who
will supervise the work, offers one Of
the finest opportunities for patriotic
service for men OF standing In the COM
munity who are unable to get into tho
trenches.
"Disorganlxsd RabbIe."
"Under the guidance Of such 4 man,
aided by an influential local clergyman
and physician, the drafted men will 60
to their cantonments In efficient, Or
ganized bodies rather than as a disor-
ganized rabble and with spirit OF
self-reliance and comradeship. All the
strangeness Of the new life will have
been eliminated, and, since the men
win have been taught what lies before
them, they will face duty with the con-
fidence Of familiarity.
'.The military instruction will COM
prise only the simplest evolutions, with
particular emphasis upon military cour-
tesy-when, where, how and whom to
salute. A general supervision of this
phase Of the training for uniformity
and efficiency will be conducted by the
government military authorities. Ar
public parkssand squares, pub
lie school Fairgrounds, ETC., will be
utilized for the actual drilling. Drills
two or three times q week Of an hours
duration will be preferable to longer
periods at less frequent intervals.
Fitted for OFFICERS.
Competitive drills will be arranged
to stimulate interest and enthusiasm.
One Of the advantages Of the plan will
be that the men who prove most prof.
cient In the preliminary training will
have an excellent chance Of being Sc
lected ~ n0n-commissioned officers
when they arrive In camp"

Hamp Williams, federal food ad-
ministrator for Arkansas, has issued
a new order regulating the amount
Of wheat that a farmer may keep

mits a farmer who grows wheat to

HE EIACkE
ain Facts AbOul
Tho Federal Trade Commission in its recent report
war profits stated that five large meat packers have been
proteeng and that they have monopoly Of the market
These conclusions fair and just matters of serious
concern not only to those engaged in the meat packing
business but to every other citizen of our country
The figures given profits misleading and the state
ment that the packers have monopoly unsupported by
the facts
The packers mentioned in the report stand ready to
their profits reasonable and necessary
The meat business is one of the largest American indus
tries Any citizen who would familiarze himself with
its details must be prepared for large totals.
The report states that the aggregate profits of four large
packers were $14oOOO,ooo for the three years.
This sum is compared with s9OOoOOo as the average
annual profit for the three years before the war; making
it appear that the war profit was s121OOOOoo greater
than the pre-war profit.
This compares three-year profit with one-year profit,
manfesty unfair method of comparison It is not only
misleading but the Federal Trade Commission apparent
ly has made mistake in the figures themselves.
The aggregate three-year profit of s14OOOO,Ooo was
earned on sales of over four and half billion dollars 1t
means about three cents on each dollar of sales mere
fraction of cent per pound of product.
Packers profits are negligible factor in prices of live
stocks and meats No other large business is conducted
upon such small margin of profit
Furthermore-and this Is very important-only small
portion of this profit has been paid in dividends The
balance has been put back into the business 1t had to
be- as you reaiz. when you consider the problems the
packers have had to sovs-and solve quickly-durins
these war years
To conduct thi, business in nes with higher costs
and the necessity of paying two three times the for
mer prices for live stock has required the use of two or
three times the ordinary amount of working capital The
additional profit makes only fair return on ths ana as
Sharp County record., 1918-07-19

has been stated the larger portion Of the profits earned
has been used to finance huge stocks Of goods and to pro-
v;oe addition and improvements made necessary by the
enormous demands of our army and navy and the allies
IF Won are business man YOU will appreciate the sgn-
eance of these facts If you unacquanted with bus
ness talk this matter with some business acquant
ance-with YOUR banker say-and ask him to compare
profits of the packing industry with those OF any other
large industry at the present tWe.
No evidence is offered by the Federal Trade Commission
in support of the statement that the large packers have
MONOPOLY The Commissions own report shows the large
number and Importance of other packers.
The packers mentioned the statement stand ready to
nrove 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
packers mentioned in the report account for only about
one-thrd 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 sell dressed
beef for less than the cost of the live animal owing to
utilization of byproducts and of the wonderful story of
the methods of distribution throughout this broad land,
as well as in other countries.
The five packers mentioned feel justified in cooperating
with each other the extent of together presenting this
public statement.
They have been able to do big job for your
in its time of need; they have met all war time demands
promptly and completely and they willing to trust
their to the farmndedness of the American people
