WIRELESS MESSAGE TO STARS
IS The HOPE OF MARCONI
Strange Messages, Which Seemed to
Come From Distant Planets,
Received by Scientist

Strange signals out of the ether,
which seemed to come from some
other place outside the earth and
which might have proceeded from the
stars, have been received by William
Marconi, according to the assertion
made by the inventor of the wireless.
Mr.. Marconi believes in the POSSIBLE
ty of communicating by wireless with
the stars. Messages that he sent off
ten years ago have not reached the
nearest planets, he declared.
when they arrive why should they
stop?" he asked. 1t is like an attempt
to express one-third as decimal frac-
ton; you can go on forever without
coming to any sign of an end" That
is what makes him hope that some
day communication with the stars will
be possible.
at is silly to say that other planets
are uninhabited because they have no
atmosphere or are so hot or are so
different from the EARTH" the scien-
fist said. He admitted, however, that

but he was confident that such a prob
lem could be solved.

their profits. He declared, how
ever, that examinations by the
commission of the books of Ar
mour & Co., Morris & Co., Swift
& Co., Wilson & Co. and the Cud-
any Co. showed their aggregate
profits in 1912 were $18,715,000,
and in 1917, $95,639,O00.
Based on capital stock, Mr..
Chase said, Morris & Co.'S prof
its in 1917 We're 267.7 per cent,
and that on the same basis Ar
mour & Co.'S profits in 1916 were
Hap per cent. Because, of a late
increase in capital stock the per-
centage for Armour & Co. drop
ped to 27.1 in 1917. Swift & Co.'S
profits in 1917 on the same basis
were 63 per cent, while those of
the Cudahy Co., in 1917, were
23.2 per cent based on capital and
surplus. Wilson & Co.'s earnings
for the same year were 29.6 per
cent on the combined capital and
surplus"
Do you doubt you have been paying
tribute to these meat kings with one
hand while beating off the strange
hold of the Hun with the other?
Have you noticed recently that the
packers carry advertisements in many
weekly and daily papers over the
country; and that, instead of telling
of the toothsomeness of their prod.
ucts, the burden of their text is in
defense of the prices they are receiv-
ing for their products. They are
spending some of their loot trying to
soOthe the American mind into forget
ting that they have been gouged, OF
trying to convince the people that
they have not been gouged. They are
posing as philanthropists and patriots
that the American people be not
aroused and that they will passively
pass over this robbery, in time for
getting it, until, may be, they will be
again at the mercy of the meat pack
ers and they can start the mill to
grinding grinding blood money
out of people who sometimes be-
lieve they are free, self-governing, in
dependent American citizens.
That the government should put
some of the meat packers on "cold
storage" for the rest of their lives is
the belief of many of the victims OF
every other section of the country
Lincolnton Journal
The Dawson news. (Dawson, Ga.) 1889-current, 1919-02-04

The American people have been
robbed of millions of dollars in the
past four years by the meat packers
of the country, and while the govern
ment regulated fuel, some food prod
ucts and other things, these autocratic
highwaymen have had free rein and
have gone the limit, taking advan-
tage of the peoples of the world while
they were in a death grapple with an
enemy who required all their atten-
ton
Ehere is no need to go into details
Of how meats, of every kind, have
advanced in price until the prices
have become all but prohibitive to a
man of moderate means. Every man
who furnishes the money to supply
a family in all this broad land knows
these painful details thoroughly. He
has seen ham advance in price from
Is cents a pound, on and on up to 60
cents; he has seen beef and pork and
fowls, and everything the blighting
hands of the packers touched, advance
in price until no German peasant was
any more in the power of German
militarism than free-born Americans
were in the strangling grip of the Ar
mours, the Swifts, the Morrises, the
Cudahys and the Wilson's.
And the food administration. Mr..
Hoover at its head, has sat steady in
the boat, never moving a finger or
uttering a word, so far as any one
knows, to stop the plunderers as they
piled up money wrung from a people
already beset on every side by packs
of prohteers.
1t is being insinuated in some quar-
dollar a year from the government,
has received more than a dollar a year
from the packers,
This is a serious charge to make
against an officer of the government
occupying such place as Hoover oc-
cupies, and the country at large will
be reluctant to believe it. But
The food administration owes it to
the country at large and to itself in
particular to explain to the American
people why the meat packers net
earnings on the same capital stock
are some five times greater in war
times than they were in piping times
of peace.
Here are some figures coming out
from Washington anent the hearings

Invisible Germ.
"At first we thought that the in
fiuenza germ had been isolated and
was known. Now it is believed that
the present epidemic is not caused by
the germ we had in mind. It seems
to be an unfilterable and almost in
visible germ, even under the micro
scope.
Because Of the cloud of uncertain
ty surrounding the disease, it is prac.
tically impossible to map out course
of action to combat the epidemic. We
can advise the people to keep theil
vitality up to high mark, to cal

PECTED IN THE WEST. HIGH
WHEAT PRICE CAUSE.

SIOUX CITY, Iowa.-There will be
a reduction of from 10 to rs per cent
in the 1919 corn crop in Sioux City
territory and probably the largest
wheat production this region has ever
experienced, predicts Peter Lamp, of
Mapleton, Ia, one of the most extern
sive Of Iowa farmers. who owns 1000
acres of high grade Iowa land.
Marked decrease in the feeding of
cattle and the production of hogs is
reported by Mr.. Lamp, who was Wis
itor TO the Grain Exchange building.
The corn crop last year was unus-
ually short, he said, so much so that
the farmers and feeders of Monona
county have been importing that
grain during the whole of the winter.
There will be an exceptionally
heavy planting of spring and winter
wheat in all of western Iowa." said
Mr.. Lamp. "All farmers have an
abundance of seed. Much pasture will
be broken up and the land sown to
wheat because of the war prices that
are expected to obtain until 1920. The
winter wheat is now looking fine and
promises a great crop. The corn crop
was failure in my section of the
state, not averaging over twenty-five
bushels to the acre.

INFLUENZA PUZZLES
GEORGIA MEDICOS
DIVIDED AS TO WHETHER 1T
HELPS TO CLOSE PLACES
OF PUBLIC GATHERINGS.

The influenza situation in Georgia
is as bad today as it was at the height
of the epidemic last October and No
vember. Considering the virulence of
pneumonia accompanying the present
high stage of the returned wave of
the epidemic the situation is probably
worse today than it was in October
DIR. T. F. Abercrombie, state health
officer of Georgia, is frankly at loss
what course to pursue. Opinion is d.
vided among medical authorities as
to whether it Checks the epidemic to
close public gatherings. If the con-
sensus of opinion favored closing, Dr.
Abercrombie would probably take
steps to close all schools, churches,
theatres and other places of assem-
bly,, and to require the utmost venti-
4ation in street cars and railroad
trains. But if such drastic measures
were undertaken at this time there
would be a violent debate among
medical authorltles-Some contending
that influenza IS transmitted from

others conIe1cl-g tE&c I does 10 good

out the COUNTRY = cr--.C- divided.
Some weeks &EC II .As conference Of
public health officials held II Chicago
the majority opinion opposed the clos
ing OF public assemblies. on the ground
that such closing had not been effec-
tive where II was tried. The United
States public health service is doubt
full whether closing is worthwhile.
Hence DR.. Abercrombie is not will
ing to require that public gathering
be closed. So far as he is individually
concerned he believes there is a great
degree of protection afforded by clos
ing, but with opinion so divided
among the authorities he does not feel
justified in imposing his individual
view upon the state. Therefore, while
recommending this step as wise pre-
caution he does not, as state health
officer, require it.
Instead, the epidemic has increas-
ed in virulence. The pneumonia now
prevalent over the state seems worse
than the type we had last fall.
at has been found that this pneu-
monia-so-called-is caused by an
organism that enters the blood and
destroys the red corpuscles with ter
rible rapidity. This reduces thS
blod to colorless and almost life
