what he is worth as beef animal. No
one can determine his value but the
men in the pens,-the commission men
and the buyers.
Buyers Represent Many Firms, y
Many think that these cattle are all
purchased by the big packers, which
is far from being the case. Besides
the buyers for the big packers there
are always in the Chicago yards from
hundred to hundred and fifty other
buyers on the scene, many Of them
representing firms that are not located
near the stock yards or even in the
same city. All told, the large pack
ers do only "A per cent Of the meat
animal slaughtering of the entire COM
try.
The penalty which awaits the buyer
who will not bid up to true values Is
that the other buyers take the cattle
away from him and his firm will be
without its requirements. On the 9TH
e~ hand the commission men cannot
stick it out for an exorbitant price;
for the buyers would cut down on the
amounts of their purchases. There
are some people who will buy meat
a. any price, but the majority Of peo'
pie reduce their meat purchases pre-
ciSely as the prices mount upward.
The buyers in the stock yards reflect
this attitude of the general public al
most as accurately as thermometer
indicates the temperature. !
The Arena Of Supply and Demand.
In Other words, the stock yards are
the me, ing places OF two tremendous
powers # the economic wOrld.-SuD-
ply and Demand. my one who Wis
its one # these l,GceS, even as the
! most casual observer, and watches
what o. urs there, will give up any
illusion re may have about monopoly
or cOnti'l. Too many buyers and sell
crs are involved. and judging the
value o. an individual steer or a pen
full of 5 aers is altogether too compli-
Gated natter to cover by any sort
of agre, ~Hent in advance.
The K'nyOn bin would make it ilIe-
gal for any packers to have financial
holdings in stock yards corporations.
Common sense rightly asks, why"
How such holdings, which, where they
exist, are nothing more than financial
backing of a worthy enterprise, can
control the men in the pens who are
hired to use their judgment, is too
deep to be seen at a glance. The ad-
vocates of the bill should be forced to
explain. And how lack of such hold
ings would prevent control or monop-
oily. if such things were possible, is an
other thing which the proponents Of
the bill should be able to elucidate.

Council of Congregational
Churches at East Charleston

The Orleans Council of Congrega
tional Churches met here in response
to the invitation of Plymouth Congre
gational Church, on Monday after
noon and evening, September %, for
the purpose Of examining and ordain-
ing Rev. w C Carroll, the pastor of
the local church. Rev R. A. Hamil-
ton, of Orleans was elected modera
tor of the Council and Wallace H.
Gilpin of Barton, was elected scribe.
The credentials and general prepara
ton of the candidate were found en-
tirely satisfactory, and the Council
voted unanimously TO proceed to or
dain Mr. Carroll at the evening ser
vice. A splendid supper was served
by the ladies of the church to all Wis
itors.
At the evening session, after the
reading of the minutes of the Council
by Mr.. Gilpin, Rev. R. A. Hamilton
the moderator, offered prayer. The
Scripture Lesson was read by Rev. c.
E. Southard, of Coventry, a former
pastor, Rev. C. C. Merrill Of Burling-
ton, preached the ordination sermon.
1t was a forceful and eloquent plea
for the gospel as the Apostles preach
ed it. Following the sermon came the
ordaining prayer, which was offered
by Rev c. E. Hayward of fNorth
Troy. The charge to the candidate
and the right-hand of fellowship
were given by Rev. Robert Lawton
fIsland Pond. Then in a very fell
icitous manner Rev. W. R. Price of
East Berkshire, a former pastor,
charged the church to fulfil their duty
to their pastor. The benediction was
pronounced by Rev. Carroll.

SMALL PACKERS OPPOSE LICENSE

Cincinnati meat packers in drawing
resolutions against the licensing of
all packers doing interstate business,
brought attention to the fact that the
proposed legislation embodied In the
Kenyon and Kendrick bills, If enacted,
would have tendency to drive hun
dreds Of small packing firms out of the
field of interstate operations. This
would be the preference forced upon
them as against operating under IL
censing system which would be a con-
tinued menace of interference.

Takes Boy in Charge

A young boy, Henry Gravel, who
says he is 13, was chased out of the
railroad yards of Burlington by some
of the railroad help who works there.
He claimed to have come into the city
en- some north bound train during the
day, but didn't know exactly at what
time or what train. He didn't know
in fact, where he came from to begin
with. He Claims Island Pond as his
home and says his mother is now en-
gagged in the restaurant business. The
boys mother sent him out on farm
to work where he was making dollar
a day and sending his earning home
every week according to his story. He
worked on farm three weeks but did
not know where the farm was nor
who the people were for whom he
was working for.
When the lad was quite young his
father died, his mother married again
a man by the name of Labounty and
he died of the flu last winter during
the epidemic. He has sister who is
is, now living in Island Pond.
The boy claims that he wrote three
letters home to his mother while he
was on the farm and received no ans
wer to them. He was lonesome as a
result. He was conducted late last
evening to the police station by an of
ficer where he was given place to
stay for the night.

The Point of View

They had some fine old pessinlists
IN biblical days.
Man that is born of woman
IS Of few days and full of troubles
One of them said,
Sure he is all that,
But it's nothing to brag about.
1t might have been said,
Just as well, that some men born
If women,
Have too many days
And have a mighty soft time of it.
It's a good deal owing to them an,
And what he considers troubles.
But the measure of joy
Is not the measure of days.
And man has few days
Compared to those of an elephant,
But who'd change places
With an elephant?

yards of Chi
c." O".aha and else
VA lonrto.istic control
Vii nUicting the farm
er On IN I'D and the consumer
wlo buys meat, on the other hand?
This ill be one of the questions
threshing over in the discussion of the
Kenyon bill now before committee Of
the Senate.
If these big markets, where millions
upon millions of dollars change hands,
have any sort of a strangle-hold on
our food resources, few there would
be who would not say, rout them. Yet
equally few. perhaps, could give you
any sort Of a vivid word-ucture of
what takes place In these markets
through which flows much Of our farm
wealth.
Separate From Packing Plants.
The "stock yards" are synonymous
in the minds of many people with all
packingdom. This Is error number
one. They are operated as corpora
tions wholly distinct from the packing
plant companies that cluster around
them.
The stock yards perform two func-
tions: they are unloading, feeding
and resting stations for live stock; and
markets for buying and selling. AS
buying and selling places, they are
among the most interesting spots in
the world-places where one may see
a nation at it's bartering. Huge auc-
ton stations where fraction Of
point counts, and cornts big.
The Chicago stock yards, as the
most notable example, will receive in
day anywhere frOr. 10000 to $4,000
cattle, not to mention hogs and sheep.
These would represent shipments by
many farmers. Each farmer puts his
cattle into the hands # a commission
firm who acts as his arent. The "stock
in trade" of the COM liSSion firm is q
satisfied clientele among the farmers
the better bargainers they are for a
lCng price, the more the farmer is dis
posed to patrOnize them.
A Game for Experts.
1t is a titanic game, and one for ez-
perts. On the one side are arrayed
the commission men, and on the other
the buyers representing packing con-
Germs, brokers and others. Both sides
know their business, which is to say
that they know full well what the re-
ceipts of the day are and their rela-
ton to the requirements, and they
know cattle.
The big auction begins. Not from
a block, but an auction for all that.
Buyers, mounted on ponies, scurry
hither and thither, making a bid on
Cne lot here and on another lot there
The commission man will hold the bid
In allegiance, dickering for a few points
higher price and awaiting the arrival
of another man on pony who may
make him better offer. Every COM
mission man is competitor Of all the
other commission men and every buy
er is competitor Of all the other buy
ers.
We say that all Of these men know
cattle. A steer Is not standardized
commodity. Nature makes him what
he is. The contour of his launches,
the build Of his body and his makeup
In general have everything to do with
