corAmittee with the packers bears all the ear-marks of having been packer propaganda from the very beginning, and many stockmen whose hearts are right in the matter unwittingly a- lowed themselves to be used by the packers. At no time was there any doubt as to the majority of the state delegations at Kansas City being strongly opposed to a joint committee and as strongly in favor of producers committee. Nor was there the slight est question as to the strength of the sentiment in favor of the Kendrick bill.
 If the packers persist in this under banded propaganda, which for the present has utterly failed, they are going to do themselves much more harm than good. They are making the same mistake the railroad people made years ago. and which brought

mitted the producers to doing some things which they could not possibly do. and it tied them into joint com
 nittee which was certain to be dom mated by the packers whenever they might think such domination necessary or expedient- Under the substitute plan worked out at Kansas City, if the producers are not properly repre- sented, it will be because they fail to select the right sort of men for their committee. If cool, clear headed men are chosen, this committee can do much to promote a better understanding be- tween the producers and the packers and other interests, and remove many of the causes of friction and misun-
 derstanding.
 We congratulate the producers upon the very sensible conclusion reached by
 their representatives at Kansas City
 last Saturday. The various states
 should now select their representatives
 with great care, and all of the pro-
 ducers' organizations in the states should have a voice in their selection. The committee appointed to com municate with the various associations l and arrange for the convention to be l held at Chicago May 18th, consists of l the following: J. H. Mercer, Topeka, Kans., chairman; E. F. Keefer, Union l Stock Yards, Chicago; Charles c. Col l lins, Kit Carson, Colo; J. D. E1dridge l Gregory, Ark; George T. Donaldson l Greensburg, Kans.; S. P.

 1 A report concerning this Kansas City meeting. which appeared in the 1 Chicago Daily Drovers Journal oi l April 14, with a Kansas City date line would make it appear that the pro- | longed and animated discussion which | occurred during the afternoon of the
 meeting was on the question of the en- 1 dorsement of the Kendrick bill to H-
 cense and regulate the packers. There 1 is no foundation whatsoever for such an interpretation. The stockmen were 1 divided into two factions, one which | favored a joint committee with the i packers, after the plan outlined at the ! Chicago conference. The other fac 1 tion was unalterably opposed to any 1 joint committee with the packers. but 1 in favor of a committee composed
 strictly Of producers, which would con i fer with the packers from time to time but would absolutely retain its inde- | pendence.
 In the course of the discussion
 members of both factions expressed their approval of the Kendrick bill
 but that was not the question at issue | and the effort of the correspondent ot | the Droyers' Journal to make it ap- pear that the stockmen were seriously
 divided on the Kendrick bill is simply | another evidence of packer propagan- da- It might as we'll be understood that this movement to form a join

that's the truth of it." insisted a doughboy who admits that he left his heart in Normandy. Their tastes are simple, and they are exceedingly thrifty. Besides this, they are the best kind of pals.
 Most Of the men in our army in France aren't millionaires. They're of very moderate means, and the eco- nomical habits of the French girls made a big hit with American boys in the expeditionary forces. Why, if you took Marie or Yvette to a movie once a week she was immensely pleased. You can court and win a French girl for a third of what it costs to make even an impression on one of our American beauties. And you don't have to give her a limousine for a wedding present either. Not that the average American sol dier is a tightwad-far be it from such!
