THAVE half a dozen letters here
on my desk before me, sad
little letters all on one theme,
the one eternal theme-Love. And
most of them are signed IAN I'm

or "Despairing."
Sometimes the world seems full
of voices, signing voices, whose
ceaseless burden is, 81 want love"

But today, with these letters be-
fore me, it is youth which must
be served. And as l have said
above, the cry Of the heart of youth
is for love and romance. Cinderella

great love story Of all time has

The first letter, which is a count
erpart Of many others / receive, is
from a Cinderella who thinks she
has lost the Prince. Her story is
that she and the young man to
whom she had been engaged for
about a year have quarreled and
parted. She earnestly desires a
reconciliation and has made every
effort to bring one about. but un-
successfully; and she is forced to
the conclusion that he prefers to
remain estranged. She is per-
picked and heartbroken, and she
wants to know what to do about
it
l am very much afraid that
there is nothing for her to do but
to write "Finis" on that chapter
of her life. No matter how hard
it may seem, there is only one
course open for her, and that is TO
accept the situation. If that young
man had died, she would be forced
to live without him, and she is
only compromising her dignity
and self-respect in endeavoring TO

10y MORNING JOURNAL SPECIAL LEASED wrRsl

Washington, Jan. 2S.-Repbrts of
livestock receipts, shipments and
prices as received daily by the big
packing concerns were put into the
record of the federal trade commis-
SONS meat packing investigation to-
day, as part of the evidence which
Francis j. Heney, special counsel,
said would show how the packers di-
vide the supply and control the prices
to their own advantage.
Ownership of the stockyards and
terminal railroads, and drectorships
in many trunk line roads Mr.. Heney
said, gave the packers an inside ad-
vantage in obtaining this information
which nobody else could have.
Walter Twombley, an Investigator,
testified that Swift Il CO.'S daily re-
port from all the big markets was re-
quired to be in by 1880 a. m. and not
later than 7:45, before the days busi-
ness began and furnished basis on
which all purchases were made.
Prcportionate Purchases.
Purchases of livestock, according to
the packers figures varied little pro-
portionately from year to year, and
conformed closely in percentage to
figures previously introduced as indi-
eating a non-competitive distribution
hetween the "big five'-Swift, Ar
mour, Morris, Cudahy and Wilson-of
all the livestock buying in the United
States. Thus. for instance, Swift's
purchases of cattle at all markets in
1s1S-19I4 was 34.01 per cent of tho
whole, and in 1915-1916 was 34.5S per
cent, while the same firms purchases
of hogs in 1913 were 1857 per cent
and in 1915 were 1904.
Important Letters Read.
Reference to an agreement as to-
purchases were frequent in letters
taken from the packers files, along
with instructions to buyers to take a
certain percentage of the cattle Of
fcred. Variations in price margins be-
tween the various markets also re-
suited in correspondence which Mr..
