From Near Arcadia Heights.

Having q half day OF leisure time
last Saturday, we made q trip up the
hill 10 Arcadia Heights. When We ar.
lived at the Teschmscher home. the
firs, house after leaving the farm
tphere we now live, We noticed,
hanging over the entrance to this
home. the sign "Gtande VISTA" and
knowing the meaning of the word,
We turned at II around, looked
over the surrounding country, and
thought indeed that truly tits a grand
view. A%'panoram:c view OF more
grandeur than that pictured to the
mind of man from that spot cannot
anywhere be found in the United
States, perhaps. "Whe.her we look
or whether we listen, we can hear
life murmur or see it glisten." Ar
irving at the Vance Hotel, we spenta
few minutes talking to Mr.. j. d.
Vance; thence we proceeded to look
oye the Assembly grounds, and
found that everything is being rapia-
" nut in first class condition for the
opening of the Assembly, July 80. The
forr bungalows and one large bar
rack, 1t is thought, will be completed
within the next ten or twelve days,
and be ready for occupancy during the
coming Asse mbly, which will be n
great convenience to the public.
The awful drouth still continues. 1t
is getting serious indeed.
4. gentleman and his wife from st.
Louis were out here last Sunday as
prospective land buyers. They called
on your writer, and it is thought that
they will buy a farm out here, and re-
move to it in the very near future.

$50 per month salary, but said he

The Federal Trade Commission in its recent report ON war profits,
stated that the five large meat packers have been profteerins 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 a monopoly is 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 famiIiarize himself with its details must
be prepared for large totals.
+ + + + + + 4 j. =
The report states that the aggregate profits OF four large packers
were 81 10. 100000 for the three war years.
The sum is compared with %$1eyooo.ooo as the average annual profit
for the three years before the war, making it appear" that the war
profit was 1921, 100000 greater than the pre- war profits.
This compares a three year profit with a one year proft-a mani
testify unfair method of comparison. 1t is not only misleading
but the Federal Trade Commission apparently has made a mis-.
take in the figures themselves.
The aggregate three. year profit of$ 49, 100000 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 fraction of a cent per pound of
profit.
Packers profits are a negligible factor in prices of live stock
and meats. No other large business is conducted upon such small
margins of profits.
+ + + j. + 4 + + T. + 4 +
Furthermore and this is very important-only small portion of
this profit has been paid in dividends. The b ,lance has been put
back into the businesses. 1t had to be,as you realize when you con.
slider the problem the packers have had to solve and solve quick.
ly-during these war years.
To conduct this business in war times, with higher cost and the
necessity of paying two or three times the former prices for
live stock, has required two or three times the ordinary amount
of working capital The additional profit makes only a fair return
Mansfield mirror. (Mansfield, Wright County, Mo.) 1908-1957, 1918-07-11

No evidence is offered by the Federal Trade Commission in sup.
port of the statement that the large packers have monopoly. The
Commissions own report shows the large number and import.
ance of other packers.
The packers mentioned in the statement stand ready to prove
toay fair minded person thatthey are in keen competitor 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 onethird 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 a sell dressed beef for
less than cost of the live animal owing to utilization of bypro-
ducts, and of the wonderful story of the method of distribution
throughout this broad land, as well as in other countries.
The five packers mentioned feel justified in cooperating with each
other to the extent of together making 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 are willing to trust their case to the fairmind-
ednosS of the American peOple with the facts before them,

SPLENDID
NEW AUDUBON HOME

Geo. Ross one of the prosperous
and energetic farmers who has lived
north of the city for many years.
this week purchased the splendid
new residence property of Karl Ras-
mussen. This property is one of the
choicest in the city and was built last
year. 1t is generally accepted as the
best finished home throughout in
the city of Audubon. Mr.. Rasmus-
sen has spent a great deal of money
in building a residence with all the
modern conveniencAs. Mr.. Ross will
get possession of his property April
1st, when Mr.. Rasmussen moves into
the residence of A. N. Detwiler. who
goes to the farm for the summer.
Mr. Rasmussen will occupy the Det-
wiler property until November 1st
when he expects to move into a new
home he expects to build in the
meantime.
The people of Auubon will extend
the glad hand of fellowship to Mr..
Ross and his family. and trust they
will find Audubon just as good a
place to live as they had anticipated
it would be.

NOTICE TO SUBSCRIBERS
OF THE REPUBLICAN

We want to avoid raise in price
on the subscription of the Republican
if possible in any way at all 10 do so.
We have come to the conclusion that
this can be done if all delinquent
subscribers will pa: their arrearage
and one or more years in advance.
Our stand in this matter is made nee
essary by the ever raising costs of
production and also by the fact that
heavy additional postage rate will
be charged in short time on all of
these subscriptions.
If business conditions do not
change we may be able to retain the
price Of one dollar per year If every
subscriber sees to il that his paper
is paid a year in advance. Kindly
look up your subscription at once and
see that it is paid ahead. The label
which carries your name and address
tells the date when your subscrip-
ton expires. All subscriptions that
are not paid by March LIST will be
taken off our list and any arrears
still due will be placed in hands
for collection. Hereafter all subscrip
lions will be stopped at expiration
unless renewed. The stand in this
matter taken by us is absolutely nee
essary, as We have hundreds of dol
lars outstanding. OF course it may
not seem much to our subscribers,
who only owe a few dollars, but it
means a whole lot to us in the run
ming of a newspaper. Please give
this matter your prompt attention
during the balance of February

ledgeing the power of the German

Meanwhile, on the western front,
where Germany is massing her fore
es to crush the entent, there are signs
of growing alertness portending the
battles to come. The weather has
improved and on some parts of the
British front the ground is in condi-
ton for military operations on a
larger scale than for several months.
German troops and guns are still
pouring into France opposite the
British lines but the British are re-
ported confident that the preponder.
ance of men and guns is still with
the allies.
Raids are increasing in intensity
and the artillery fire is becoming
more violent along important sec
tors. In an attack against Caurrier
wood northeast of Verdun the French
repulsed the Germans with loss. On
the Italian front the Austrians have
failed in attempts against positions
west of the Brenta captured recently
by the Italians.

part this mundane sphere. and decid-
ed to give Tom a few kicks, which it
did. cutting a large sash above lie
temporal bone and eyelid and laying
Tom out for the count. He came to
town and had physician dress his
wounds. which required several
stitches to close the opening. Tom
was seen driving home in the evening
with his head all done up in ban
dages, accompanied by his wife and
child for protection. The calf fin
ally made its getaway and at the
present writing is still alive and
healthy.
