KINGS MUST STICK TOGETHER
By Edith M. Thomas of Tho visilanses

("This is a time when Kings must
stick together."-The Emperor Of Au-
stria in a letter to the King of Rou-
mania.) =
A crown-it is in truth a perilous
bauble.
"A throne-a cobbled seat that goes
to smash
When Demos and his fellows start to
squabble-
Hark. then, to Karl, the Ready and
the Rash,
Who turns off letters with dispatch and
dash,
And yet foresees a spell of nasty
When all the elements shall round him
clash:
This is a time when Kings must
stick together"
Karl hits the mark-sagacious counsel.
surely!
Besides. there's. comfort in exchange
When now there's scarce King that
sits securely
A pity tits that they are scattered so,
Will no one fix the place where they
feather,
Ere storms The People raise begin to
blow?
This is a time when Kings must
stick together!'
II stick they can! But they are scat
tered widely:
There's Nicholas-away in cold ST.
IBERIA;
And 'Tino spends his time eve trust
It's idly
In Switzerland, where ne has been a
year,
because his freeborn Hellenes made it
clear
No Hohenzollern liege should brush
their heather!)-
The meeting-ground should not be far
but near,
This is a time when Kings must
stick togetheri'

Y. w. c. A.
SOCIAL

The monthly Y W. c. A. Social was
unusually interesting Thursday eve
ming. The Business Womens' Circle
was entertained, the guests enjoying a
unique cafeteria supper served on the
lawn which had been converted into a
ZOO" Vocal and instrumental music
by a quartette of Y. w. c. A. girls adj
ded much to the evenings pleasure.
The religious services were conducted
by Mrs. H S. Merwin, Mrs. A. S. Moi
fet offering the evening sacrifice or
prayer.
Misses Elizabeth Adams and Evelyn
Lockhart, general and recreational
secretary respectively, of the Patriotic
League, talked on the work of that or
ganization, showing, how, through it,
girls work and play may be directed
in such a manner as to obtain the best
results.
A committee from the Y NJ. c. A
contributed greatly to the pleasure of
the evening by bringing over trays of
delicious refreshments from their ban
quet and remaining as guests.
The talk given by Miss McFadden,
will long be remembered by the girls
for the beautiful thoughts expressed
and the explanation of the happiness
derived from living an ideal Christian
life.
Miss McFaddens subject was 1.-The
Joyful Life" and, in speaking of the
joy to be found in a Christian life, she
said: The Christian religion is the
most joyous of which one can posi-
bly, conceive. Six hundred and eight
times the word joy occurs in the
scriptures. BY faith we come into pos
session of the fou: fundamental facts
OF the Joyful Life. First, The Infinite
is our Infinite Father, First John, 81
Second, God has made ample provision
for all our sins, mistakes and faults,
First John, 3:5; Third, Every little
event in our lives is working out for
our highest good Romans, S:2S;
Fourth, We are absolutely sure of a
home in Heaven, John, 14:3.' At the
close of her talk Miss McFaoden read
Chas. NJ. Sheldon's Program of a JOY
full. giving to each one present, a type
written copy.

Are the Packers PrOfiteerS?
Plain Facts About the Meat Business

The Federal Trade Commission in it's recent report
on war profits, stated that the five large meat
packers have been profteeripg and that they have
a monopoly of the market
These conclusions if fair and just, are 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 on profits are misleading and the
statement that the packers have monopolyis un-
supported by the facts
The packers mentioned in the report stand ready
to prove their profits reasonable and necessary.
The meat business is one of the largest American
industries. Any citizen who would familiarize
himself with it's details must be prepared for large
totals
The report states that the aggregate profits of four
large packers were $14O,OOO.O OOtor the three war
years.
The sum is compared to $40, 100000 as the aver
age annual profit for the three years before the
war making it appear that the profit was
$121, 900, 900 greater than the pre-war profit.
This compares three-year profit with one-year
proft---a manifestly unfair method Of comparison.
1t is not only misleading, but the Federal Trade
Commission apparently made mistake in the fig
ureS themselves.
The aggregate three-year profit OF 4O,OOO,OOO
was earned on sales of over four and half billion
dollars It means about three cents each dollar
of sales--Or mere fraction of cent per pound OF
product.
Packers profits are negligible factor in prices Of
live stock and meats No other large business is
conducted upon such small margins of profit.
Furthermore-and this is very important-only a
small portion of this profit has been paid in divi-
dends. The balance has been put back in the bus
mess. It had to be, you realize when you con-
slider the problems the packers have had TO solve
and solve quickly-during these war years.
costs and the necessity of paying two three
times the former 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 this and as has been stated,
the larger portion of the profits earned has been
used to finance huge stocks Of goods and to provide
additions and improvements made necessary by
the enormous demands Of our army and navy and
the Allies.
If you are business man you will appreciate the
significance of these facts. If you are unacqualnt-
ed with business, talk this matter over with some
business acquantance-with your banker. say
and ask him to compare profits OF the packing IN
dustry with those Of any other large industry at
the present time.
No evidence is offered by the Federal Trade Com
mission 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 in the statement stand
ready to prove to any fair minded person that thew
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.
five large packers mentioned in the report account
for only about onethrd 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 the utilization Of by
products, and of the wonderful method Of distribu
