BUSINESS NECESSITY

No farmer who desires to sell farm
products by advertising and cores
pondence can afford to be without
good letterheads for his business let.
ters. A well-printed letterhead identi-
fes the farmer, is legible and looks
business-like to the person receiving
the letter. Local printers are supplied
with paper and equipment for printing
attractive farm letterheads. They also
can order engravings of farm build
ings or livestock to illustrate the let
terheads. Any farmer who sends out
letters carelessly written on cheap
unheaded paper is losing money.

GOVERNMENT AND PACKERS
CONTINUED from Page 1.)

Continued from Page 1.)
Before the opening, however, Of the
hearings before that grand jury Mr..
Palmer was notified that the defend
ants would submit TO all proper re-
quirements of the government under
the law"
Mr. Palmers' statement then recites
the alleged evils of packer ownership
of stock yards, market newspapers and
allied industries as developed from
the federal trade commissions inquiry
into the packing business, and con-
tinues:
They now have, either jointly or
separately, a controlling interest in
twenty-five of the fifty market stock
yards in the United States.
THE parent companies have availed
themselves Of the control so acquired
by them in the stock yards aforesaid
to elect the officers and directors of
said stock yards and to dominate and
control the policies thereof. They have
granted exclusive privileges, such as
the right to purchase dead animals,
the right to furnish supplies and facili-
ties and the location of cattle banks
and cattle loan companies, to con-
Germs and corporations in which they,
or some Of them, or individuals who
are stockholders in said parent com.
panies hold the controlling stock, all
OF which has been done with the intent
and purpose and has had the effect of
discouraging and suppressing the es-
tablishment of independent packing
establishments and dwarfing the
growth Of such independent companies
which then might be in existence, to
enable said parent companies, their
subsidiaries or the individuals who
own and control the parent companies
and their subsidiaries to obtain vast
profits from the management of the
stock yards and the granting of the
privileges appurtenant thereto, which
profits are realized not only upon the
live stock purchased by the packers,
but upon that purchased by their COM
petitors, and have thus enabled them
to enjoy and realize such profits with
out the same appearing or being dis
closed in the profits Of the parent
companies; and otherwise to further
the attempt OF said parent companies
to monopolize the meat industry of
the country and artifcially control the
ultimate price which the consumer
pays for meat and meat products.
"The investigation demonstrated that
even with a practical monopoly of the
supplies of meat in the country the
price could not be controlled by the
defendants without the control of sub
stitute foods. To accomplish this pur-
pose the defendants availed them
selves Of the advantages at hand in
the auto trucks, route cars, branch
houses and storage warehouses owned
or controlled by them. The control
was extensively and rapidly increas-
ing. Yearly great numbers Of COM
petitors abandoned the contest and
quit business or sold out to the parent
corporations or their subsidiaries. Un-
less prevented by this decree the de-
PENDANTS would have, within the COM
pass of a fe?g years, controlled the
quantity and price of practically every
article of food found on the American
table.

STOPPING THE WASTE

Waste of stale bread may be avoided
by toasting it, by freshening it-slight
ly moistening the loaf and placing for
few minutes in a hot oven-or by
drying it and using the crumbs in
place of -four or starch in recipes.

INERT MATERIAL IN COAL
Percentage Of Ash and Slate Reaches
Total In Tens That Few
Would Believe.

A suggestion has been made BY one
Of the large anthracite coal operators
that they be permitted to increase the
percentage Of impurities in the coal
by 2 per cent more than the present
standard. This means that 100000
additional tons Of slate would be sent
to market. To transport this increased
amount Of impuritieR to market would
require about 10000 railroad cars.

for its delivery. The bureau of mines
has estimated that the coal mined In
the United States, In 1917, had an In
crease Of per cent, as an average,
In the amount Of ash, taken for the
whole country. Also. that this in
creSSe In ash content meant an addi-
tional loss of TN per cent In the ef-
lciency of the power plant. Further
more, In some Of the mining districts
there was q much higher Increase In
ash than Is Indicated BY this average.

The man was so out Of his mind that
while being examined this morning he
shouted and screamed and had to be
held constantly.
