from Cuba and refined, and prices are lowered under the proposals of the food administration, sugar will be one of the cheapest if not the cheapest, foods to go on the American table" MT. Babst agrees with MT. Hoover that if the Allied nations had not en- tered into joint agreement to conserve | the available sugar supply, the price to the consumer would have scared Said he in explanations:
 The facts are these: Europe's pro- duction of sugar was not only greatly curtailed when the opposing armies
 swarmed over the sugar beet fields of northern France and Belgium, but England and other foreign countries were forced to turn to other sources for sugar The logical source was
 Cuba, from which the United States gets the bulk of it's cane sugar. This developed competition which,
 until the international agreement was
 reached, caused a serious advance in
 price both of raw and refined sugar.
 But with the international committee
 acting for the Allies and the food ad-
 ministration in control in this coun-
 try the supply will be equally dis
 tributed and prices stabilized.
 No Ships for Java.
 Great quantities of raw cane sugar
 are locked Up in far-away Java, En-
 available because ships cannot he spared to transport. it. Hence the Eu-
 ropean Allies are asking Cuba and the
 United States as aypractical patriotic
 duty to supply them with sugar The
 United States is making every effort
 to comply with this request for the very interesting reason that if we save
 the Allies from the necessity of trans
 porting 100000 tons of sugar from
 Java, it will release shipping sufficient
 to carry about 200, 1000 American sol
 dicrs to France"
 When MT. Babst voluntarily ap- pearcd the other week before the sen-
 ate subcommittee inquiring into the sugar situation, he told what his com
 pany as we'll as the other large refin-
 ing interests were doing to safeguard
 the sugar supply. Among other things, he laid emphasis on the value
 of sugar in packages as an economical
 means Of distribution. This especially interested Senators Lodge, Jones and Vardaman and the subject was brought up in the interview. In reply to questions, MT. Babst said:
 "Yes I presume the public, being interested in having the sugar supply conserved, is equally interested in knowing why sugar in packages can be more economically distributed than loose sugar. And this is the reason: Tn the first place, package sugars are weighed and packed by machine. This saves the grocer's time and stops
 his loss by spillage which occurs when sugar has to be scooped by hand out of a barrel, carried to the scales, weighed and tied in paper bags. And when he counts this saving, plus the value of his time and the cost of paper
 bags and string he finds he can
 handle package sugar more econom-
 ically.
 Making Sugar Go Round. Sugar in packages also enables him to restrict sales to actual needs, to

She Didn't Know.
Waterbury American.

A young New York woman had ire uuently been heard to use the excla- nation, "Hoch der kaiser!" and to put peculiarly ugly emphasis into it. Fin ally she was challenged by some one for her free expression of her Ger man sympathies. She expostulated that she had no German sympathies, the expression meant something like simply hated the Kaiser. She thought ITO hell with him."

The Federal Trade Commission in it's recent report
profits stated that the five large meat packers
have been proteering and that they have monopoly OF
the market
These conclusions if fair and just matters Of
rous not only to those engaged in the meat pack
ing business but to every other citizen of our country
The figures given or 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
dustrie Any citizen who would famiarize himself with
it's details must be prepared for large totals
The report states that the aggregate profits of four
large packers $14OO00OO for the three years.
annual profit for the three years before the war; making
t appear that the profit 100000 greater
than the pre-War profit
This compares threeyear profit with one-year
prot-a manifesty unfair method of comparison 1t is
not only misleading but the Federal Trade Commission
apparently has made mistake in the figures themselves
The aggregate three-year profit Of s14oooo,ooo was
earned on sales OF over four and half billion dollars. 1t
means about three cents each dollar Of sales-or
mere fraction OF cent per pound OF product
Packers profits negligible factor in prices of
live stock and meats No other large business conduct
ed upon such small margins of profit.
Furthermore-and this is very important-only a
small portion of this profit has been paid in dividends
The balance has been put back the businesses It had
to be- realize when you consider the problems the
packers have had to solve-and solve quicky-during
these years.
To conduct this business in war times, with higher
costs and the necessity of paying two to three times the
former prices for live stock has required the use of two
or three times the ordinary amount of working capital
The evening leader., 1918-07-10
Plain Facts About the Meat Business

The additional profit makes only fair return this, and
as has been stated the larger portion of the profits earned
has been used to finance huge stocks of goods and to pro-
vide additions and improvements made necessary by the
enormous demands of army and navy and the Allies.
The evening leader., 1918-07-10

as has been stated the larger portion of the profits earned
vide additions and improvements made necessary by the
demands of army and navy and the Allies
If you are business man you will appreciate the sig
ncance of these facts If you unacquanted with bus
mess talk this matter over with some business acquant
ance-Wlth 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 Commis
sion support of the statement that the large packers
have monopoly The Commissions report shows
the large number and Importance of other packers
The packers mentioned in the statement stand ready
to prove to any fair minded that they are in keen
competition with each Other and that they have 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 one third of the meat business of the country
They wish it were possible to interest you in the de-
tails of their business Of how, for instance they
sell dressed beef for less than the cost of the live ANIMAL
owing to utilization of byproducts and of the wonderful
story of the methods of distribution throughout this
broad land as well as in other countries.
The five packers mentioned feel justified in co-operat
ing with each other to the extent of together presenting
this public statement.
They have been able to do big job for your govern
ment in its time of need they have met all time de-
mands promptly and completely and they willing to
trust their to the farmindedness of the American
people with the facts before them.

The county agent promised to use his

Washington September 29.-The battleship Minnesota struck a mine early today off the Delaware break : water. There were no casualties and the snip is proceeding to Philadelphia under her own power.
 The navy department tonight issued this statement.
 "The navy department is informed that the battleship Minnesota struck a mine early this morning off the Dela- ware breakwater. There were no cas- ualt.es. according to reports reaching the department. and the Minnesota IS proceeding to port under her own powcr.''
 There was no indication as tc the extent of the damage to the battle ship, but since she was able to nav igate without assistance. officers as- sumed that she was not badly dam aged The Minnesota is off the pre- dreadnaught type, built at Newport News.
