ton, Winchester. Liverpool and
other cities but did not visit Lon
don. SO far as the places are con
cerned they are much the same as
the same size places in the States
though there is enough Diff erence
for you to tell they are built and
inhabited by people of a different
Nation, with different ideas and
different customs. Asa rule the
streets are not straight with wide
side walks nor the towns layed off
III blocks as they are in the States,
but probably that is caused by
their being built many years ago.
In Winchester | visited two very
old cathedrals, one built in 1919
A. D., is very interesting and large,
with many pieces of sculpture and
art, decorations ancient and mod
erD, and tombs of ancient men,
kings and queens inside its walls.
In the other | saw among other
things the noted King Authors
Round table. England Is a baauti-
full country, or the few huddred
miles of it that ] saw is The roads
are good and are always lined on
eachs ide with evergreens or shrub
berry of different kinds. When ri
ding or walking on the roads a
person almost thinks he is in a real
lovers lane all the time. On either
side you see pretty green pastures
and fields one after another, and
you pass many farm houses. all
made of brick or stone and with
every house beautiful flower gar
dens. Out on one of these roads |
saw where one of the ancient eng
lish poets did much of his writing.
With such beau tiful surroundings
it is no wonder that he wrote such
verses. One thing | can certainly
say for Tng land IS, that the peo-
pie believe in making things as
beautiful as possible.
In France, | have been in Paris,
La Mos, Tours, LaHavre, as we'll
as in many other places. These are
very much like the English cities
in build and have in them many
ancient tombs, buildings and pla-
ces of interest to see, In Paris |
saw some as pretty streets aud dri-
veways as you will see anywhere,
also visited the Eiffiel tower, Ma
poleon's tomb and other structur-
es and monuments of interest. The
parts of France | have seen and
gone through are pretty, though
it seems to me, 1t is more of a
natural beauty than England, there
fore more like the U. S. in that
respect. One thing | don't think
much of here, though, is the way
people have of building walls ar
ound everything. Almost every
house you see in the towns or in
the country is enclosed with a stone
or rock wall so high you cannot
see over it. Such as that spoils
much of their beauty for it is i'm
possible to see the pretty lawns

Fourteen Cases On
Police Court Docket

There were fourteen cases on the
police court docket this morning,
most of them being for fighting and
disturbing the peace. One negro,
Eugene Crswell, was given the
limit, $40 and ST costs, for fight
ing. The evidence showed that he
beat another negro, Nathan Adams,
and ran his thumbs into Adams
eyes until he almost forced them
from the sockets. A white man dis
charged one of his farm hands FRI
day and meeting him on the street
Saturday proceeded to beat him
up. Both were arrested. The young
man who got whipped was dis
charged as it was shown that he
had no chance to do any fighting.
The employer was fined. K. A.
Price was charged with being drunk
disturbing the peace and trespass
ing. The last two charges were
dismissed and he was fined $40 for
being dunk. Policeman Chancel-
Ior said the sheriff and the council
OF defense both wanted the man and /.
he was transferred to the county

WAR SUMMARY
(By The Associated Press)

(By The Associated PresS)
There are many indications that
the news from Russia in the next
few days will be important and sig
ni6cant as concerns the future of
that troubled country.
In the north the residents of the
Murman region have thrown off the
authority of the bolsheviki govern
ment in Moscow and joined the en-
tentet allies. There is great
amount OF war supplies in this re
gion, and American, French and
British troops are guarding it, while
German and Finnish forces have
been reported advancing in force
northward from Finland. The Muir
man coast offers a starting point
for allied operations in Russia.
Murder of Mirbach
Germany has not yet acted on
the murder OF Count Won Mirbach,
its ambassador in Moscow. The
bolsheviki government has made
apologies and has enforced strong

France and England is agreed that
far-rcaching results may be expect
ed from this act, which is compared
in Importance to the murder OF
Archdukc Francis Ferdinand. the
Austrian heir apparent. Former
Premier Kerensky believes the Ger
mans will march on Moscow, but
thinks the murder is the first sign
of awak ened anti-German feeling in
Russia.
Momentous happenings are in
the making on the western front.
The lull OF the past few days will
not continue long, and it is not i'm
probable tho, Germans will break it
by hurling their masses against the
allied line to crush it, il possible.
Hun Has New Divisions.
Correspondents at the front, while
that new German blow
is impending6 obviously are unable
to give grounds for the belief. But
the Germans have had much time
in which to prepare for further
great strokes and it is known they
have from thirty to forty divisions
in shape to throw into the fray.

The Federal Trade Commission in its recent report
profits stated that the five large meat packers
have been profiteering and that they have monoD
oily of the market.
These conclusions, if fair and just matters of
rlOuS 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 monopoly is unsup-
ported 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 in
dustries Any citizen who would famarze himself
with its details must be prepared for large totals
The report states that the aggregate profits Of four
large packers were $14O0O0O00 for the three
years.
This sum is compared with $l900000O as the
age annual profit for the three years before the
making it appear that the profit Sl2l 100000
greater than the pre-war profit.
This compares three-year profit with a one-year
profit-a manfestly unfair method of comparison. 1t
is not only misleading but the Federal Trade Commits
sion apparently has made mistake in the figures
themselves
The aggregate three-year profit of S140O0OOOO was
earned sales Of four and half billion dollars.
1t means about three cents each dollar of sales
mere fraction of a cent per pound of product.
Packers profits negligible factor in prices of
live stock and meats. No other large business is
Quoted 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, you realize when you consider the prob
lens the packers have had to soveand solve quickly
during these war years
To conduct this business in times, with higher
costs and the necessity of paying two three times
the former prices of live stock has required the
of two or three times the ordinary amount of work.

ing capital. The additional profit makes only fair
return this and 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 i'm
provements made necessary by the enormous de-
mans OF our army and navy and the Allies
If you are business man you will appreciate the sig
nflcance Of these facts If you unacquanted with
business, talk this matter with some business
quantance--with your banker, say-and ask him to
compare profits Of the packing industry 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 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
power to mani ipulate prices.
If this 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-thrd of the meat business of the country
They wish it possible to interest you in the de-
tails of their business Of how for instance they can
sell dressed beef for less than the of the live ami
ma owing to utilization of by-products and of the
wonderful story of the methods of distribution
throughout this broad land as well as in other coun-
tries.
The five packers mentioned feel justified in cooperat
ing with each other to the extent of together present
ing this public statement
They have been able to do big job for your govern
ment in its time of need; they have met all war time
demands promptly and completely and they are will
ing to trust their to the fairmindedness of the
American people with the facts before them.

A Most Curious Freak of Nature Is the
Vegetable Caterpillar.


Among the many strange growths,
apparently freaks Of nature, which are
to be found in New Zealand the vege-
table caterpillar readily ranks among
the foremost. This caterpillar is sew
eral inches in length, is hairless and
does not differ essentially in appear
ance from some of the caterpillars of
our own land.
It's claim to distinction lies in the
fact that when it gets ready to die it
digs hole for itself in the earth and
completely buries itself Later slen-
der green shoot springs from the spot.
This bears two or more leaves near it's
top.
Upon investigation it is found that
the green shoot springs from the head
Of the dead caterpillar, and further in
vestigation develops the fact that the
body of the caterpillar is filled with
roots.
The form is retained without change,
and the roots do not pierce through
the skin or enter the ground When
dug up this dead yet living freak pre-
sents a most odd appearance, for the
head and even the eyes of the cater
pillar are distinctly seen, yet from the
head is growing the green sprout, with
it's leaves.

Study the Words.

Noah Webster started with 10000
words. That was in 1928, when the
first edition of his dictionary was pub
lished In the next edition, that of
1864 the list had grown to 114,0O0.
Noah had died in the meantime, but his
heirs and assigns continued his work.
In 1890 total of 10000 words were
listed. Since then the number has
more than doubled. 1t is now about
100000.
OF course nobody could be expected
to learn all those words, nor is it nee
essary. Whenever in your reading you
come across a word the meaning of
which is not entirely clear to you drop
your book or newspaper, as the case
may be, and consult the dictionary
Don't delay. If you do probably you
will never look the word up. 1t is sur
prising how many words one may add
to ones vocabulary by this simple
method-New York Times.
