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 profteering and
that they have 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 a
monopoly IS unsupported by facts.
The packers mentioned in the report stand
necessary
The meat business is one Of the largest Am
erican 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 $l4O 600, 900 for
the three war years.
This sum is compared with $40, 900, 900 as the
average annual profit for the three years be-
fore the war, making it appear that the war
profit was $121, 900, 900 greater than the pre-
war profit
This compares a three year profit with a one
year proft---a manifestly unfair method of
comparison 1t is not only misleading, but
the Federal Trade Commission apparently
has made mistake in the figures themselves
The aggregate three-year profit of $l4O, OOO,-
900 was earned on sales of over four and a
half billion dollars 1t means about three
cents on each dollar of sales---or a mere frac-
ton Of cent per pound of product
Packers profits are negligible factor in the
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 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
realize when you consider the problems the
packers have to solve---and solve quickly
during these war times.
To conduct this business in war times with
higher costs and the necessity of paying two
or 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 por-
ton 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 business you will appreciate significance
these facts unacquaned with business talk
with business acquaintance with your banker say
ask him profits of the packing industry with those
other large industry at the present time.

We have heard a good deal
during the past year about the
democratic party being the friend
of labor, and we are about con-
vinced. The democratic states
men in Washington are SO thor
oughly imbued with making every
one work, that when the bill was
up in the senate the other day to
put a 10 per cent tax on all child
labor products, as a measure to
protect children from the nav of
the factory, every democratic
senator from the south voted
against it. They want the chill
dren to work as we'll as the
adults, Prohibiting child labor
is an interference with the prof
its of the big mills and factories,
and southern democrats will not
stand for such foolishness. Hur-
rahing for labor is simply for
campaign purposes.

There is no defense for red
flag; it's Haunting by any organi-
zation is intended as an insult to
the American flag; and an insult
to the American flag is a crime.
Any organization that cannot
march under the American flag,
and proud of an opportunity to
do so, should never be permitted
to exist, as there is treason in the
blood of the men who make up
the organization. There is only
room in the United States for one
f1ag-the stars and stripes-em-
blem of our political and relig
ious freedom, and the man or
body of men who refuse to recog-
nize Old Glory as the one and
only should not be permitted to
live in the land of golden privil-
eyes and equal opportunities.

According to German news
paper only about 100000 Huns
were killed in battle, with a to-

How unfortunate the allied gun

Whether a league of nations is
formed or not, it will probably
be several years before the Huns

Slow Up on Sugar.

Although sugar may be bought
without the use Of certificates the
food administration asks all con-
sumers to limit their purchases
of sugar in any one month to
what would be a reasonable thir-
ty days supply, and not to have
in their possession at any one
time an amount of sugar in ex-
cess of a reasonable thirty days
supply.
Householders are expected to
limit their consumption of sugar
to an amount not to exceed four
pounds per month for each mem
Der, and retailers are asked not
to sell to any household in any
one month more than four pounds
of sugar for each member of the
family. lHotels and public eating
places are requested to confine
their consumption of sugar to an
amount based on the four pound
per ninety meal regulation.

Communicated.

Propaganda. that much abused
word, heads an article in the last
Winslow Mail, and moves me to
ask some questions. 1t speaks
of college professors with their
impractical theories; but are not
we wild and woody westerners
strong for education. Our splen-
didly equipped schools would lead
one to think so. Why pick on
our college professors? We had
the idea that theories always pre-
ceded a fact. Wasn't it a theory
that started Columbus out to
sail on and on?" And wasn't
the discovery of America the re-
suit of his theory? Alex. Bell
worked a long time on some fool
theory which gave to the world
the telephone. There's Marconi.
He had an Irish mother and an
Italian father. No wonder his
head was full of theories. Is the
wireless practical? And speak
ing of theories, wonder if our
forefathers didn't have some
theories before they wrote the
Declaration of independence.
AS for college professors, we
have not had as much association
with them as we would like.
Perhaps if we had we would not
be asking so many fool questions.

MOST RADIANT OF ALL DAYS
There Are None Whose Light Has Ever
Shops So Far as the Light
of Christmas.

OF all the radiant days of the year
there are none whose light has ever
shone so far as the light of Christ
mas. For nearly two thousand years
1t has shone with a light that could
never be quenched, and it shines today,
serene and fair and steadfast, even
though 1t may be dimmed by the dark.
ening clouds of man-made human con.
hiet, says an exchange.
For IA thousand years before the
Christian era the Hebrews We're look
mg forward to the light of Christmas
They saw the golden age before them
hen the Christ should come, and their
expectation of a Messiah lighted up
the manager at Bethlehem. And then
he came; and since then the whole
world has been looking both backward
and forward 10 the light of Christmas.
other days we have that are dear
to the human heart, but Christmas is
little dcarer than all other days to
the heart Of grown-up men and women,
and infinitely dearer to the hearts OF
the children. The light of Christmas
shines for them all the year round
They bark back to the joys of the
Christmas that is past, and they are
always looking forward to the light
of the Christmas that is to come.
Christmas is the day of days to all
humanity, but 1t belongs essentially to
the children. You remember that
Christ took a little child and set him
in the midst of his disciples. saying:
"Of such is the kingdom Of Heaven"
And that was because a child is so
rich In faith and hope I'd expecta-
tons. And because of this faith and
hope and expectation the children are
always looking forward to Christmas,
seeing It's light, and anticipating its
joys. And so, whatever else we do. let
US make the children happy on Christ
mas, Let us help them to understand
the meaning and the spirit of this day
of loving and giving, and as far as in
US lies, let US al become as little chill
dren on Christmas day, remembering
that he who gave US the Christmas,
himself had the heart Of a little child.

CORN SHOWS EXCELLENT

The county corn shows have be
come an established institution in
Connecticut, every county in the state
having made arrangements for show
this year. Soy beans and small grains
are included in the exhibits although
interest eenters chiefly around corn.
At the first of the 1913 shows, held
in Windham County November 81,
the quality of this years corn crop
was demonstrated to be first class.
Improvement, through seed selection
and better methods of cultivation,
was noted over previous years.
A termination test made in connec-
ton with ffty-ear exhibits is an in
teresting feature Of the corn shows.
At the Windham County show the
termination test indicated a satisfac-
tory situation so far as next years
seed supply is concerned. It is prob
able that the same Is true Of other
SNAAG4Ga.
