The packers mentioned in the report stand ready

The meat business is one of the largest American in

The report states that the aggregate profits of four
large packers 600 for the three war years.
This sum is compared with S1oOOOOOO as the average
annual profit for the three years before the max
ing it appear that the profit $121,000,0O0
greater than the pre-war profit,
This compares three-year profit with one-year prof.
-a manifestly unfair method of comparison 1t isnot
only misleading, but the Federal Trade Commission
apparently has made mistake in the figures them
selves.
The aggregate three-year profit of S14O 900 900

1t means about three cents on each dollar OF saes-or
mere fraction of cent per pound of product.
Packers profits are negligible factor in prices of live
stock and No other large business is conducted
upon such small margins OF profit
Futhermore-and this is very important-only small
portion of this profit has been paid in dividends The
balance has been put back the business 1t had to

packers have had TO sovc-and solve quickly-during
these years.

TOWNS QUOTA is DousLED
Real StimuIant Will Be Honor Rolls,
With Names Of Subscribers by Com
munities and Trades-State and Ma

Proper Inscriptions
rBy e. G. Dougherty.]

Washington, March 11.-Secretary
McAdoos plan for honor flags and
honor rolls in the coming third liberty
loan campaign is Unique method Of
stirring up competition between resi-
dents of a town and between neigh
boring towns in the same states.
Towns and cities selling more than
the quotas of bonds assigned to them
by their respective federal reserve dis
trict liberty loan committees will be
awarded honor flags. An additional
star for the flag will be awarded to a
community every time that it doubles
its assigned quota.
This is the way it will work: If
towns quota is 100000 and it raises
this amount it will be entitled to the
honor flag. If it raises 100000 it will
be entitled to the honor flag with one
star. An additional star will be
given for every additional 100000 this
town subscribes.
Carrying the idea further, state ami
national flags will be raised. On the
state flag will be inscribed the names
of cities and towns. or counties, where
the campaign is so conducted, which
filled their quotas. This state flag, will
be unfurled in the state capital. If
the state filled it's quota it's name will
be inscribed on the national flag which
will be unfurled in Washington.
But the real campaign stimulant will
be the honor roll. This will be used
for listing names of subscribers to the
loan by communities and trades.
Places For Names.
The honor roll will be inscribed,
"Help our town win the right to fly
this flag" and These are the people
of our town who are helping to win
the war by investing in United States
government. bonds of the third liberty
loan" A space will be reserved at the
bottom for attaching the names of
subscribers. Special honor rolls for
different lines Of business will carry
not only the names of individual sub
scribers, but also the amounts of their
subscriptions. Lists of the honor rolls
will be given to newspapers for daily
publication.
The honor flag will be thirty six
inches wide and fifty-four inches long
and have red. white and blue center

Owners Of Opera House at Manila
Show Patriotism.
Des Moines, March 1.-THE name OF
Germania lall at Manila, Iowa, has
been changed to the Manila opera
house. Loyal German Americans
brought this about. Frank Alder, county
auditor Of Polk county and an officer
Of the Iowa German American Patriotic
Association, recently spoke in Manila
under the auspices of the German
American association. Alder was born
in Germany and started life here as
teamster. His earnestness as citi-
zen was early manifested and he was
given an appointment in the auditors
office in the state house. He ran for
county auditor few years ago and is
now serving his second term in that
Office.
The Rev. J. c. Orth, president OF the
association, is making speeches and
spreading the organization continually.
The loyal Germans are anxious APP
parently for an opportunity to, identify
themselves with a patriotic movement
in which they can be effective.
The association was formed at
meeting called by Lafayette Young,
chairman of the state council of ma
tional Defense in Des Moines some six
weeks ago.

OPERATIONS FOR SELECTS.
Drafted Men Not to Be Discharged
If Operation Will Relieve.

Special to Times Republlcan.
Des Moines, March 11.-Minor physi-
cal defects with which men selected for
service in the national army may be
afflicted will not be permitted to keep
the man from service. The govern
ment has adopted the policy of retain
ing the men in service if an operation
will relieve any physical imperfection
they may have and the men must sub
init to the operation. If they rebel they
will be courtmartialed.
New rulings recently received direct
that men be not discharged for ear,
nose or throat or so-called operable
diseases. 1t is reported at Camp Dodge
that there are approximately $500 men
so afflicted in the Eighty eighth divis-
ion.
There are many cases of slight all
ments or deficiencies which a man in
private life would probably neglect or
overlook. These will be attended to by
the expert army surgeons without
charge. 1t is thus seen that the new
rule will work to big advantage Of the
men. In fact it is recognized that men
are being physically rebuilt in the army
thru the training and care they re-
ceiye.
