The report states that the aggregate profits of four large packers were
sl4OOOOyOOO for the three war years.
This sum is compared with sl9OOOOOO as the average annual profit for
the three years before the war, making it appear that the war profit was
sl2lOOOOOO greater than the pre-war profit.
This compares a threeyear profit with a oneyear pro6t-a manhtly
unfair method Of comparison. /. is not only misleading but the Federal
Trade Commission apparently has made a mistake in the figures them
selves.
The Columbus courier. [volume] (Columbus, Luna County, N.M.) 1911-1920, 1918-07-12

The aggregate three-year profit of sl4OOOOOOO was earned on sales Of
over four and a half billion dollars. 1t means about three cents on each
dollar Of saes-or a mere fraction of a cent per pound of product.
Packers profits re a negligible factor in prices of live stock and meats.
No other large business is conducted upon such small margins of profit.
The Columbus courier. [volume] (Columbus, Luna County, N.M.) 1911-1920, 1918-07-12

The Federal Trade Commission in its recent report on war profits, stated
that the five large meat packers have been prodteering and that they have
a monopoly Of the market.
The Columbus courier. [volume] (Columbus, Luna County, N.M.) 1911-1920, 1918-07-12

No evidence is offered by the Federal Trade Commission in support of the
statement that the large packers have a 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 they are in keen competition with each other, and that
they have no power to manipulate prices.
The Columbus courier. [volume] (Columbus, Luna County, N.M.) 1911-1920, 1918-07-12

The five packers mentioned feel justified in cooperating with each other
to the extent of together presenting this public statement.
They have been able to do a big job for your government in its time of
need; they have met all war time demands promptly and completely and
they arr willing to trust their case to the "Reminiscences of the American
people with the facts before them.
The Columbus courier. [volume] (Columbus, Luna County, N.M.) 1911-1920, 1918-07-12

ThG wish it we're 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 ANNA, owing to utilization of b. products, and of the wonderful
STORY of the methods of distribution throughout this broad land, as well
as in other countries.
The Columbus courier. [volume] (Columbus, Luna County, N.M.) 1911-1920, 1918-07-12

The meat business is one Of the largest American industries. ANY citizen
who would famnarize himself with It's details must be prepared for large
totals.
The Columbus courier. [volume] (Columbus, Luna County, N.M.) 1911-1920, 1918-07-12

If this were not true they would not dare to make this positive statement.
Furthermore, government figures show that the five large packers men
toned in the report account for only about onethnd of the meat business
Of the country.
The Columbus courier. [volume] (Columbus, Luna County, N.M.) 1911-1920, 1918-07-12

These conclusions, IL fair and just, ART matters of serious concern not
only to those engaged in the meat packing business but to every other
citizen Of our country.

NORBECK TO THE RESCUE
Makes Merry Christmas Possible for
Group of Soldiers

Pierre, S. ID, Dec. 2O.-Through the
generosity of Gov. Norbeck, a bunch of
South Dakota students in the training
department Of the University of Iowa
will get home for Christmas. The story
started with a telegram to the governor
that 125 South Dakota students We're
dismissed att the University of Iowa
and were without funds to get home.
This led to an investigation which
showed that the boys had been dis
missed from the service, and while
they had travel pay n their last
months salary due them, they could
not get this until vouchers had been
sent to Chicago for approval and the
usual red tape gone through with.
They We're not all without funds, but
none of them o~verburdened. 1t was fin
ally earned that out of the number
there were %thirty-five who had no
means to get home, nor means to pay
their expenses while waiting for their
government pay. This for the reason
that the money for insurance and the
percentage sent to their homes had
taken up their last pay checks.
When the situation was finally clear
ed down to essentials. the boys were
asking hat South Dakota pay their
Expense home, and agreeing to refm-
burs the state when they got their
government pay. There was no state
fund which could be used for this pur-
pose, and Gov. Norbeck wired the head
of the Iowa institution to draw 11pon
him personally for the necessary funds
and see that the boys were sent to their
homes.

Old CRIST MILLS GONE
Medern Methods Remoye ntsiszl a.
From Flour.

The report published in. Btfdse
port newspaper that the owner or a
grist mill at Sandy Hook, Conn,
having secured a few bags of wheat
ground it up and sold it to his
neighbors to be mixed with Western
flour, the result being a cheaper ma
terial for bread, brings us back to
the days of hardly more than a gen
Grafton ago when Northern farmers
produced grain ON their farms and
had it ground in tn eneighboring
grist mill, then an institution to, be
found within a few miles of every
neighborhood. .....
There was no indication in those
days that the ground product of the
grain, whether corn or wheat, was
inferior to any produced elsewhere.
But now with the advent of. modern
machinery our civilization seems to
demand a -four from which every
particle of nutritious gluten, so far
as it tends to- discolor the flour, is
eliminated. AS for home grown,
home ground cornmeal, that is a rar-
ity known only to a few old time
epicures and secured by them with
considerable difficulty.
In the Southern Appalachians,
however, the old time grfst mill is
still in use
