just such happening. A barrage of
Torment was shot into the air of each

Atlanta Refuses to
Rave About Khaki
AS Aftermath Comes

ATLANTA, Augl 19-Soldiers
are not so popular in Atlanta now
as they were before the "boys"
went off to war This city has
been made a divisional camp for
regulars, really valuable acquisi-
ton from a commercial standpoint,
but it refuses to rave over the ap-
pointment as it would have done
a year ago.
Soldiers wives are clogging the
divorce courts, young girls who
married men here last year have
been deserted by husbands who
have other wives in other sections
OF the country. Their tales of mar
tlal woe have stirred the court of
hclaIs appreciably until superior
court judge recently warned openly
that many of the girls who mar
ried men whom they did not know
were bound to unhappiness.
Therefore the girls are not so
keen" for the khaki as they once
were. They argue that most of the
men worth while, civilians before
the WARFARE civilians now.
Soldiers-oficers and enlisted
men-have to stand pretty rigid
inspection these days to be taken
into social circles as they once were

The Public Mind


Editor Times Recorder, Americas,
Georgia: In an editorial printed
July 16, the Times Recorder pro-
poses a remedy for profteering.
This discussion arises out of a re-
cent report of the Federal Trade
Commission on the packers and the
meat industry.
The Times-Recorder says: 'The
Federal Trade Commission has de-
clared in a report just made to the
President, that the group Of fore
.nos. american meat packers, known
as the Big Five, controls not only
the meat situation in this country
but also extensive holdings in South
America and has vast trade associa-
tons in Europe. The report also
states that these packers are branch
ing out widely into other food lines
and seem likely to dominate the en-
tire food situation" The impression
that packers have an illegal combi-
nation is created by arbitrary mathe-
tics. The Federal Trade Commission
added up the value of business of five
independent and competing firms, so
that the result looks big. 1t would
be as fair to add together the prof
its of a dozen unrelated concerns
merely to given an impression of in
ordinate size.
The most convincing proof that the
market is governed by free competi-
ton is the fact that packers make
a profit of only about two cents on
every dollar of sales. This is prov
ed by figures which have been sub
ject to audit the Federal Trade Com
The United States Food Admin
istration, in its report for the year
1918, says: "The profits on the con-
trolled products of the packers sub
ject to this control during the first
year of such regulation from Nov
ember 1, 1917, to November 1, 1918,
as shown by audited accounts, were
S4O,934,935 on an investment aver
age for the year Of $714,187, 204,

or considerably less than the maxi

There would be no materia:

er continued without a profit

1t is not true that the packers arc
constantly extending their business
by obtaining control of nearly every
article of food consumption. The
large packers do not control any sin
gle food product. Such items as
they handle, whether closely related
to meats or not, are obtained in the
open market in competition with 9TH
er buyers, and are handled in a legal
manner and along lines that are
open to everyone.
We believe that the present low
rate of profits. natural as it is. lives
up to the standard suggested in the
Times-Recorder editorial. And we
are convinced as is the Times Record

Stop and think how many of the

You will then realize what a
