PACKERS AND FOOD CONTROL.

Remarkable revelations are coming
to light of this nationwide control of
the food supply and distribution ex-
ercised by the four premier packers.
From a long admitted monopoly of
the packing industry and the large
number of every day essentials which
are by-products of that business,
packing concerns have utilized their
wonderful organization to branch into
other fields involving foods and home
necessities. Perhaps the most strik-
ing single example of this phase of the
business is the statement made that
in 1917 when first the Armour COM
pany utilized their system to buy and
market rice, they handled 100000
pounds. 1t is significant that during
that year the price increased IS per
cent.
Squeals have gone up from each OF
the four big firms, following the in
PRODUCTION into congress of the pro-
posed Kenyon regulatory measure. A
nationwide propaganda has been con-
Quoted to convince the American
public that their profits are only nom
inal and that they are not so black
as they have been painted. Probably
hundreds of thousands of dollars have
been expended the past few months in
an effort to offset the rapidly growing
public sentiment against them.
They may be right. But with au-
thenticated figures showing an ave-
rage increase in their profits of from
six or seven per cent in 1912 to rs
and 80 per cent in 1917, it appears that
something was absolutely essential
from an investigatory and regulatory
standpoint Idaho stockmen, particu-
larly, are not enamored of annually
losing money and at the same time
seeing beef so high priced that it is
almost luxury.
When private concerns reach such
dimensions as to threaten absolute
control of the food situation in the
United States it appears to US that
someone ought to make it a point of
business that the power is not abused.
Packers may be doing business on the
fairest possible basis and be providing
the purchasing public with life essen
tials at the lowest possible price, but
we want something more than their
word for it.

This Case Has a Hint for Many
Caldwell Readers.

A Caldwell woman has used Doan's
Kidney Pills.
She has found them as represented
She wishes her neighbors to know
She publicly recommends them.
No need to look further for a tested
kidney remedy.
The proof of merit is here and can
be investigated.
Profit by the statement of Mrs.
Milton Foster, 407 Dearborn Ave.
She says: Some years ago when l
was living in Kansas, l used Deans
Kidney Pills. l had been having con-
siderable kidney trouble and had suf-
fered with lameness in my back. I
was also bothered with my kidneys
being weak and acting irregulary
Doan's Kidney Pills gave me the de-
sired resul is in every way"

ARENA VALLEY.

| CIOo late Tor last week.,
The second cutting Of alfalfa is
being stacked and is a very heavy
crop.
Clint Allen spent several days on
his ranch last week, putting in con-
crete bitches and drops.
Mr.. Stricken Of Dixie purchased
! the Ragsdale ranch last week and
will move his family here at once.
The Valley will lose a splendid fam
| lily when the Ragsdales move. They
will go back to their former home
east Of Middleton.
w. e. Smith, father of Mrs. Vic
tor Gibson, last week purchased the
sage brush land southeast of the
school house. formerly owned by H.
J. Sloan. The park was formerly in
cluded in this tract Mr.. Smith will
put the land in cultivation as soon
as he can secure men to do the
leveling.
Mr.. and Mrs. w. e. Smith and
daugter returned on Thursday of
last week to their home at Bruno,
Ore, after visit Of several days at
the Gibson home.
Victor Gibson had the misfortune
on Thursday of last week to lose
all Of his first cutting Of hay, about
so tons, and a good COW barn by
fire. The fire had gained such head
way when discovered that nothing
could be done to save the property.
Neighbors hurried to the scene Of
the blaze but could be Of little as
sistance. Mr.. Mcconnell drove his
team thru the intense heat and
saved the hay derrick. Mr.. and Mrs.
Gibson greatly appreciate the help
Of neighbors. It is not known how
the fire started

staying at the Eliza Pullman home.
The school board held special
meeting last week to discuss with
the patrons the best plan for re-
modelling the building into two
rooms, which will be made neces-
sary by engaging two teachers. II
was thought best not to build a new
school house for a year or two. The
teachers have not yet been en-
gagged.
Mrs. David Imlah and baby daugh-
ter were business visitors in Boise
Saturday.
It is reported that the Robert
Shelton ranch was sold last week.
Robert Wright, who spent several
months In overseas service, returned
Saturday. VIII Heller returned the

the boys home again.
Sidney Masters of Boise has been
visiting at the Richardson home for
several days.
Bruce Scruggs and bride have
moved to the groom's ranch on the
east side OF the valley. A crowd OF
friends charivari-ed them last Fri

THE COAL SHORTAGE.

Today marks the long promised in
crease in the price of coal, against
which coal producers and distributors
have long warned the public with the
admonition that they buy their winter
supply prior to that date,
Many coal consumers have not done
so. Among these we are informed are
a number of large industrial concerns
who have wholly neglected the repeat
ed assertions that have been made to
the effect that the United States will
face the most acute fuel shortage this
winter of its history. Now comes the
report that English coal prices have
been raised $l.l0 per ton, which makes
it possible for American produced coal
to compete with English fuel in Euro
pean markets.
In view of these facts and conten-
tions it is interesting to note the OBJ
servation made by the Evening World
New York; after extensive investiga
tons which they made of the coal
production situation in Pennsylvania.
Having helped by their own
saving and sacrifice to avert the
worst effects OF coal shortage
for which they were told to blame
the extra demands of war, coal
consumers in the United States
are now warned to prepare them
selves for a coal famine as one
of the first accomplishments of
restored peace.
They are asked to swallow

whole the explanation put forth
by the coal interests that with
drawal of labor from the coal
mining industry is the chief cause
of the threatened shortage and to
buy coal at such times-and at
such prices-as the coal operators
decree.
SIS labor turning its back on the
coal industry or slackening its
work in the mines to a degree that
bears out the coal mems conten-
ton?
"The Evening Worlds inquiries
in Pennsylvania mining districts
show that, on the contrary, there
is no rush of miners away from
the mines, that returning soldiers
have applied in vain for jobs at
the collieries, and that the min
ers are only too willing to work
six full days week for the high
pay they are now getting.
at is furthermore we'll known
that many of the mines were shut
down for weeks at time earlier
in the spring, although the big
coal operators could foresee this
year as we'll as any other the ap-
proximate amount of coal that
would be required to meet COM
ing demands.
"They did not want to meet
those demands with increased
supplies of coal that must result
in lowering prices. So they regu-
lated the output.
Shortage of labor and trans
portation can always be played up
to ten times their actual signifi-
canoe whenever the coal barons
have to explain, why coal is never
mined and marketed in quantities
that would mean a movement of
coal prices downward"

would not be far amiss in an effort to
convince some of us that there might
be real need for the sudden finan-
cial flight of that essential to the great
business activity now in vogue.
Inevitably, too, every increase shat
tiers some ones hopes for a new home
Additional advances may spell the
doom of present construction and
building activity. Each rise in lum-
Der quotations is slowing it up per-
ceptibly.

SIDE TALKS
AFTER sroCKTAHNG.
By RUrH CAMERoN

In the stock taking Of emotions. and
conditions and tendencies which VIC all
are conducting more or less consciously
now that the great expected and unex-
pectcd event has actually come to pass,
there is nothing that surprises me more
than to find how tightly peohl" still
seem To cling 10 the old unrcaSonlng
race prejudiccs.
And not thoughtlcss. ignorant people
either, but fortunate people who are
raised by education and leisure high
enough on tho plane Of living 10 have
broader vision than that point OF view
connotcs.
That We should emerge from the war
with certain race prcjudices intensified
is absolutely inevitable, but that this
should not be balanced by an interna-
tionalization Of thought and feeling in
her directions is sin and shame.
Let me toll you of three illustrations
nf this narrowncss Of mind that refuses
TO be widCncd.
a Perfect Description Of Race Prejudice.
A woman told me- that she had left a
hotel because the management had
taken in n family of a certain national
ity. what sort Of people were they
| asked. II don't know" she said with
hautcur. IT never have anything to do
with such people" But suppose the
individuals were worth whilc:" I sug-
gcstcd. would You lcr the race stand
between you" II should never know
If they were worth while or not" she
said. because l should never know
thcn in the first place"
If I had asked great author TO put
Tho spirit Of race prejudice into single
sentence l doubt if hr could have done
better.
Surprised to Find Presents Given to
Foreigners.
\ friend of mine is 4 social worker in
big organization. one of whose actirl-
ties is To bring Christmas 10 the poor
children Of the city. He told me that
volunteers who came in to help with the
rush of work nj Christmas are often as
tnnishrd when they find that the char
ily does not make race or religion bar
ricr" What. you don't give presents to
Itaians?" one Of them asked in great
establishment.
Again, | was talking with a woman.
who has had Cr"al educational advan-
tagoS. about a girl who has lately come
to town. Isn't she the prcttirst thing"
7 said. She gave a Shrug or distasic
and most disagrchable expression dis
tortcd her features. II can't ser any
thing hut The map Of Ireland on hor
face" shr said. If she meant by that
that tho girls face had in it all thr vim
Romenoss. grace and charm and lovely
color that marks tho highest type Of
Irish beauty. she was right. But she
didn't mean that.
She Had Married n Foreigner.
Once again. You know I always said
Gertrude would turn out badly" wo-
man said 20 mo speaking OF Il college
friend whom | liked and sh" didn't
What has she dnnr?" asked fearing
the worst shes married an Armc-
niau.
1t is n beautiful and right thing TO
love your own nation best, especially
when with that lovr goes an ideal Of
service In tho great cause or making
her still more wonderful than she Is.
But that sort Of patriotism and the sort
that expresses iisrif in narrow unreal
soning race prejudice are quite q little
farther apart than the poles.
