The meat business is one of the largest American industries
Any citizen who would amiarze himself with its details must
be prepared for large totals.
The report states that the aggregate profits of four large pack

This sum compared with 100000 as the average annual

Plain Facts About the Meat Business

on this and has been stated the larger portion OF the profits
earned has been used finance OF goods and pro-

demands Of army and navy and the Allies
IF YOU are business man you will appreciate the significance

those of any other large industry at the present time
No evidence offered by the Federal Trade Commission III

The packers mentioned the statement stand ready prove
to any fair minded person that they keen competition with
each other and that they have power manipulate prices
If this were not true they would not dare to make this positive
statement
Furthermore government fig les show that the five large pack
e mentioned the report account for only about onehrd OF

their business Of how for instance they sell dressed beet

distribution throughout this broad land well as In other
countries
The FIVE packers mentioned feel justified cooperating with

STANFORD POSTMASTER
Resigns. George Penny Named Successor
interior JournaD.

Postmaster Harvey J. McRoberts
has resigned as postmaster of STAN
ford and Mr.. George L. Penny will
soon take charge of the office. This
will be good and bad news to the
many friends Of the two popular gen
tlemen. Bad news to those of Mr..
McRoberts' friends, who know that
he gives up the office on account of
i'll health, and good to those Of Mr..
Penny, who will be delighted that he
is to be given the good berth. Mr..
McRoberts has made a model official
and patrons of the post-off;ce gener-
ally will give him up with sincere re-
greet. The Interior Journal probably
has as much business with the post
master as any concern in town, and
saying that they have never seen a
better or more accommodating post
master or official Of any kind. But
for his health, which we are sorry to
say is poor, the paper would fight to
the last ditch his resignation and its
acceptance, but under the circum-
stances it admits that Mr.. McRoberts
is doing the right thing. The writer
has seen him at work when he was
too i'll to be in other than sick
room. He felt that it was his duty
to be there and there he remained,
his body racked with pain. Few
would have stuck to it as he has
done, but then there are very few
like the clever gentleman. That Mr..
Penny will make a capital postmast-
err, none who know his ability will for
a moment doubt. A good business
man, methodical and painstaking,
and gentleman at all times, it is
safe to say that he will be a fitting
successor to the gentleman who will
in few days or weeks give way to
him. Congressman Helm is deserv-
ing Of eongratulation in his selec-
ton of postmasters for his home
town, for he has never given it other
than the very best.

There are optimists. And
there are dreamers. And there
are amateur clairvoyants
whose rosy visions look like
the phantoms of an alcoholic
trance.
Some of us believe that after
the war food prices will GO
back to where they were in
1910, and earlier. They say
that the farmer gets too much
profit now, but they do not
realize that until lately he
never got enough.
There is only one class in
this country in which most of
the labor is entirely unpaid.
A farmers wife and children
constitute the bulk of his work
ing staff, but they are not on
the PAYROLL condition exist
ing in no other trade between
the two oceans.
Yet a farmer is as much a
specialist as an electrician. He
needs as much scientific train
ing as a dentist. His employ
ees must be skilled workmen,
and they must be paid skilled
workmen's wages.
If, when the war is over, we
find that the prices of farm pro-
ducts show a tendency to stay
where they are we will know
that the American farmer is
coming into his own.

Have not seen much Of the country
so far but will give you brief des-

one thing that impressed me most is
the small number Of men to be seen.
Very seldom do you see man but

the young fellows are at the front,

more and more he becomes affected

EFFECTIVE PROPAGANDA.

The exposure of the Imperial Ger
ann Governments great spy system
by William J. Flynn, recently retired
chief of the United States Secret
Service, in the serial photodrama,
"The Eagles Eye" produced by The
Whartons, booked at the Opera
House tonight, is an event of very
great public Importance.
It is a part of propaganda designed
to strike an effective blow at the
Kaiser's spy army in America by in
forming the public of its methods and
its menaces.
The power Of the motion picture to
create public opinion and incite the
people to activity and vigilance, is
recognized by high Governmental au-
thoritys both here and abroad. This
official recognition of the screen led
Chief Flynn to prepare his story for
photodramatic publication and allow
his name to be used in connection
with its presentation.
In "The Eagles Eye" Chife Flynn
reveals startling details of the I'm
perial German Governments system
OF world Observation-Disclosures, diplo-
matte, military and naval-founded
on authentic official facts.
The establishment of a branch of
this wonderfully efficient spy system
