ming with $500 anu plenty of nerve and honesty 20 years ago, he has ac- cumulated much more than $200,O00 and great host of friends, who ad- mire him greatly, not because he has a lot of money, but because he is a man clean through and has habit of lifting his fellowman over the rough places when he has opportunity of helping a deserving individual.
 MT. Collison and Mrs. Collison spent last night in Newport, guests of MT. and Mrs. E. E. Best, who nov cd here recently from Bald Knob, the latter being assistant cashier of the Arkansas Bank & Trust Company. MT. and Mrs. Collison are considering the matter of making Newport their home in the near future, and should the decide to locate here Newport will be most fortunate in securing such a live business man as MT. Colli- son.

Presently he had a big, modern brick building. Here it is interesting to re- late that MT. Collison did not believe in carrying fire insurance. He work led it this way Rather than pay in- surance premiums, he employed a highly trained bookkeeper to run his machine at night and watch his prop erty at the same time. He kept his eye open in day time while the book keeper slept. Strangely, MT. Colli- son has never suffered fire.
 The fact that this man turned a mighty fine deal in cotton here does not signify that he had taken advan- tage of a single farmer, for they all swear by him down Bald Knob way, but instead he found the market just right for turning loose of this amount of staple.
 We have not said what MT. Collison is worth today. We do not know, but believe he does, for it is a part of his system to constantly know just where he is in the world. Begin

WHAT POTATOES DO
 FOR YOUR BODY

They are good fuel. They furnish starch which burns in your muscles to let you work, much as the gasoline burns in an automobile engine to make the car go.
 One medium-sized potato gives you as much starch as two slices of bread When you have potatoes for meal you need less bread. Potatoes can save wheat
 They give you salts like other vegetables. You need the salts to build and renew all the parts of our body and to keep it in order.
 An old king is said to have tested each cook before hiring him by ask ing him to boil a potato. Even the best potato can be spoiled by poor cook.

BIGGEST DEAL IN
 LOCAL HISTORY

(Continued from page 1).
The Washington herald., 1918-07-09
PLATINUM DEALERS
HAVE HEARING TODAY
Ways and Means Also to Consider
Several Terms.

The Ways and Means committee
yesterday decided to grant a special
heaFing to platinum dealers and
manufacturers of jeweiry. who wish
to explain their position in the mat
ter of the new revenue bill. They
will be heard tomorrow.
The desire of the jewelry manu-
facturers and users of platinum to
be. heard is due to the charges laid
before Congress recently by Rep
Tesentative Rainey. of Illinois, who
charged that the platinum interests
in this country are German-con-
trolled and that profteerinG on the
widest scale had been indulged in
by Americans connected with the in
dustry.
When the revenue bill was be-
fore the House last year, and
amendment heavily. taxing platinum
was voted down at the solicitation
of the Jewellers Vigilance Commit
tee.
The committee will hold its first
formal conference on the terms of
the bill this afternoon. The mem
bers will meet in executive session
and consider in a general fashion
some of the questions of policy
which will be followed in drafting
the bill.

The Federal Trade Commission in it's recent report
profits stated that the five large meat pack
ers have been profiteering 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 monopolyis
unsupported 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 famiarze
himself with its details must be prepared for large
totals.
The report states that the aggregate profits of four
large packers were $I4o 100000 for the three war
years.
This sum is compared with $Io,oooyooo as the av-
erage annual profit for the three years before the
war, making it appear that the war profit was
100000 greater than the pre-war profit
This compares three-year profit with one-year
proht-a manfestly unfair method of compari-
son. 1t is not only misleading, but the Federal
Trade Commission apparently has made mis-
take in the figures themselves
'r **.-* = .-..s ..
The aggregate three-year profit of $I4o,ooo,ooo
was earned on sales of over four and half billion
dollars. 1t means about three cents on each dollar
OF sales-or mere fraction Ola 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. ?
49, -. =: Z =
Furthermore-and this is very important-only
small portion of this profit has been paid in divi
dends. The balance has been put back into the
businesses. Ithad to be, as you realize when you
consider the problems the packers have had to
solve-snd solve quickly during these war years.
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 asrequired
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 pro-
vide additions and improvements made necessary
by the enormous demands of OUR army and navy
and the Allies.
sa=~ y y - y .... ~-.-'-.'::'
If you are business man you will appreciate the
significance of these facts If you are unacquaint-
ed with business, talk this matter over with some
business acquaintance-withy 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
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-third of the meat business of
the country. IT,.
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 by
products, and of the wonderful story of the meth
DDS of distribution throughout this broad land, as
we'll as in other countries. -
The five packers mentioned feel justified in CO.
operating with each other to the extent OF together
presenting this public statement. a..
They have been able to do big job for your gov
ernment in its time of need they have met all war
time demands promptly and completely and they
are willing to trust their to the tairmlnded-
ness of the American people with the facts before
