DRASTIC CHANGES
IN TREATY SCORED

Oscar Straus. prominent Republican
OF New York, last night expounded
his views on the League of Nations
before 5000 people who attended the
meeting Of the District Nonpartisan
Committee at the Liberty Hut.
In accepting the covenant" Mr..
Straus said, "the United States should
establish a reservation to article 10.
The reservation should clearly state
that we accept the covenant with the
understanding that our army and
navy should not be called upon to
engage in strife by any other author
ity than the joint action of the Sem
ate and House, whom the Constitution
gives the power alone to plunge this
country into a state. of war"
Mr.. Straus said that a rejection of
the league would be instrumental in
promoting the conditions which
brought on the recent war and that
such a move would necessitate a 100
per cent increase in the personnel of
the army and navy. This, he declared,
would be an economically unwise
policy in consideration of the indus
trial and financial condition of the
country.
Sending the treaty back with
anne enonnentS@ OF urdSllC rtScfNalloEs,
concluded Mr.. Straus, would place US
in a position where we would be dis
honored IL "after the glorious part
we have taken in winning the war"
we refused Ito unite with our allies
in arms and translate our glorious
victory in war to a more glorious vic
tory for the future peace of the
world"
Mr.. Straus was introduced by Sec
retary Daniels The Hut was filled
to capacity, and three overflow meet
inzs were held outside.

Down To Business prioiules At Last


The good old days when a coun-
try printer was the joke and free
cart horse Of the community have
gone. never. thank goodness. to re-
| turn He has learned that it costs
something to do business and that
of prosperity.
he stands better with his fellow
citizens when he shows a few signs
Now he kncws that space is his
stock in trade and that he must get
real money for it, He charges for
everything in the way of advertis-
ing.
II used to be that when you went
into a printing office for a couple of
sheets of paper the editor would tell
you 20, just take ii along. Now
he charges you for the paper and the
time it takes to sell it.
Formerly he would charge you q
nickle for a seheet of cardboard and
put in half an hour cutting it into
little chunks. Now he charges a
profit on the c1rd board and for the
time of cutiEg.
He has learned the difference be-
tween what he pays his printer
not all profit.
He knows exactly what IL costs
him to do work He adds togeth-
er his expense for rent. interest, de-
probation, telephone, wrapping pa
per, twine, wages, insurance. chari-
ties, taxes. his salary. fuel. light3
stationery, in fact every item OF
expense for the whole year. then he
divides the grand total by the num-
ber of hours in n year and he has
the hour cost of doing work. In
New York City the printers ow fig-
ure their composing room cost at
three cents q minute.
The time 1t takes to turn out job
is charged at this hour rate. cost of
stock added and per cent. added
for profit There is no guess work
The printer knows. just the same as
any other business man knows.
The Franklin clubs of the United
States have spent thousands and
thousands of dollars in ascertaining
costs of doing work. The majority
of printing offices use a price list
that gives the cost of almost any
kind of job all figured out according
to the quantity required and the
price of the paper used A man is
employed at good salary to keep
this price list up to date and he calls
to his assistance members Of the
Franklin clubs all over the country
The printer no longer uses lead
pencil or guesses at the prices of a
job of printing. He will not give
a price on a job until lie looks 1t up
In his price list.
The result is that the printer is
no longer referred to- as THAT fel-
low Jones'" but as Mr.. Jones. He
owns his own home, rides in an auto
wears good clothes, and can borrow
money at the bank, just the same
as the butcher. the grocerer and the
clothier.
Yes, the printer has quit being a
iamphool, and the people kind of
like it-Eaton Herald.

help them 90 recover their Lost
Honor. They claim to have lost it
in the Peace Treaty. l think they
lost it when they ravished Belgium
or when they devastated France, or
perhaps it fell overheard when they
sank the peaceful and neutral ships

Meats in Storage"

Every working day of the year
100000 pounds of meat are required
to supply home and export needs-and
only 10 per cent of this is exported.
These facts must be kept in mind
when considering the u. S. Bureau of
Markets report that on June /, 1919,
there were 1,348OOo.oOO pounds of
meats in cold storage. If the meat in
storage was placed on the market it
would only be 20 days supply.
This meat is not artificially withheld
from trade channels to maintain or
advance prices.
Meats in storage consist Of
6s per cent (approxmate) hams bacon. etc..
in process of curing. 1t takes 30 to go
days in pickle salt to complete the
process.
10 per cent is frozen pork that is to be cured
later in the year.
per cent is lard. This is only four-fiftbs
OF pound per capita, and much of it will
have to go to supply European needs.
19 per cent is frozen beef and lamb part of
which is owned by the Government and
was intended chiefly for overseas ship
ment If this were all diverted to domes-
tic. trade channels it would be only
1H2 lbs per capita-a 3 days supply.
1909
From this it will be seen that meats
In storage represent merely un-
finished goods in process of curing and
the working supply necessary to assure
the consumer steady flow of finished
product.
