can COW
TO whom someone had been trying
hard TO
SELL War Savings Stamps
IF som. people
COULD only convince themselves
THAT the secret of happiness is to
let
THE other fellow do the worryins'
WE have been visibly impressed on
several
OCCASIONS with the fact that a,
least no
CAN hang out larger flag
THAN an American citizen suffering
FROM a German name
ALL that some men have
TO do to get money
IS TO draw on their imAginations.
IF some women. it seems to us
COULD make up their
MINDS as readily as they do their
faces
ALL would be we'll with the world.
SINCE the hoop skirt has gone out
PROBABLY nothing makes US
THINK of dreariness more than an
old
CORSET that has been through
SOME alley bonfire.
LET'S see. just who was the guy who
said the war
WAS 5000 miles away?
SOMETIMES when we are feeling
BLUE and out of sorts
1T cheers us UP considerably to think
OF the 10000 Americans
WHO invested couple Of years ago in
GERMAN war bonds.
WE try our darndest to keep home

Of PACKERS TRUST
FIVE BIG MEAT PACKING COM
pANlEs ACCUSED OF coM5lN-
ING TO RESTRAIN TRADE IN
SALE OF MEAT AND OF LIVE
STOCK.

Washln aton. Dec. S.-The Federal
Trade Commission, in supplemental
report submitted to congress today
charged the five big meat packing
companies Of the country with a com
bination in restraint Of trade and with
controlling the sale Of live stock and
fresa meats.
Evidence is cited at length 10 sup
mort the charges Swift & Co, Ar
mour & Co, Morris & Co, Wilson &
Co., Inc. and the Cudahy Packing
Company are named. The report
said:
THE evidence Of the present day ex-
istence ct a meat combination among
the five big packers is voluminous and
detailed. This evidence is conyinc'
ing. consisting as it does largely OF
documents written by the packers or
their agents and mcludings the memoir
anda made by one OF the participants
in the combination Of the terms and
conditions agreed upon at various
meetings Of the packers"
Seven Agreements Charged.
The principal conclusions to be
drawn from this mass Of evidence
relating to combinations among the
packers, the report says are:
THAT Swift & Co. Armour & Co.
Morris & Co., Wilson Company Inc,
and the Cudahy Packing Company are
in an agreement for the division of
live stock purchases throughout the
United States according to certain fix.
ed percentages,
THAT this national live stock di.
vision is reinforced by local agree
ments among the members OF the gen
eral combination operating at each of
the principal markets. as at Denver.
where Armour and Swift divide their
live stock 'ffty.hfty.'
Cause Trade Restraint.
That these national and local live
stock purchase agreements constitute
a restraint of interstate commerce In
live animals and in the sale Of meat
and other animal products, sitting
competition among the five companies,
substantially controlling the prices
to be paid live stock producers and
the prices to be charged consumers of
meat and other animal products and
giving the members Of the combina.
ton unfair and Illegal advantage over
actual and potential competitors"

DISTRICT SOLDIER. BOY WINS
CROK DE GUERRE IN FRANCE
Alvin N. Funda Goes 0ut
Through German Barrage
and Rescues Comrades.
Writes Of His Thrilling Expe.
rience as Ambulance Driver
on Battle Front.

Alvin M, Funda Of Takoma Park will
soon be the recipient Of ''croix de
guerre" from the French government
for extreme bravery in daringly advanc-
ing through q German shell barrage
with his ambulance in the middle OF the
night and rescuing two comrades.
The news reached his mother recently
IN q letter received from her son,
which gives q picturesque story OF
the life Of an ambulance driver.
They have to be ready on q moments
notice any hour of the day or night to
dash out into the open and pick up
wounded soldiers. At night nothing
lights their path, as headlights On their
'.hivvers'' would only mako them tar
get for tho German guns. They find
their way only by the glare Of the
bursting shells
Quite frequently it happens that car
is stalled in q huge shell hole, as was
the case OF the incident which won
for young Funda his decoration
Story Told in His Own Words.
In his own words he tells Of that
"The other night I went out on
post with an assistant driver and q
call came In for ono car for the porte
de secourne.' Well, 1t was my turn,
90 out we went with a French guide.
It was about IL. and had gotten
only . short distance when down the
machine went in q big shell hole
made between the time we went out
and then. All three Of US piled out
and lifted It out Of the hole and were
about to journey down the road when
bang! went another shell some dis
tance away and piece Of she'll land
ed right in front Of my car. Then
was the time to turn back, but that
was out Of the question. We darted
of, went through the smoke Of that
shell and down q straight stretch of
road.
1--WE almost reached the crossroads
when the Germans started q shell
barrage and we were trapped.
1.-THE Frenchman called to US to jump
for the side Of the road. So jump we
did. and not any too soon. as shells
were dropping on all sides of US. We
survived that with one wound, which
was received by the other American,
very slight.
1--WE lay in the gutter about twenty
minutes, when things seemed to calm
