The Washington times., 1919-01-29

A suddenwave of intense heat a severe
blizzard which blocks roads, and makes
transportation difficult; heavy receipts of
fish or game; local-klled meats coming on
the markets in small communicable or
any of these factors have a marked effect
on the demand for fresh meats.
Branch house managers rsmust-because
storage facilities demand it-dispose of
their stock each week so far as possible.
This often neCessitates selling below cost.
Thus, if statistics be consulted, it will
be found that the selling price of Armour
and Companys fresh meats parallels the
price of livestock and is constantlyfurther
affected by the conditions mentioned.
With these facts in view, fair-minded
readers must comprehend that it is not
possible for Armour and Company to fix
the price of meats.
The Washington times., 1919-01-29

When fresh meat is finished at the
plants it is shipped to Armour branch
houses located in more than 400 centers of
consumption. And, this meat is shipped
mnS0A. The branch house manager re-
ceiveS with it memorandum of what it
cost to produce the meat. It is a simple
matter then for him to determine what he
must seek to get for it if he is to show a
profit And, he must sell it in the open
market, in direct competition with other
packers branch houses, local abattoirs,
and so forth. Also, he must face the un-
certainties of weather, heavy receipts of
fish and fowl and, often, unexpected and
unusual circumstances.
Under the heading of unusual circum-
stances" for instance, would come the re-
cent epidemic of Spanish Influenza. Stat
istics gathered by Armour and Company
show that while the epidemic was at its
height fresh meat purchases the country
over fell off no less than Is per cent.

Paris, we are told, Is to be paved

But streets of glass are not by any
means the most curious streets In the
world. There is street in Gwandu,
Africa, which is a veritable place of
skulls. The town, oval in shape, has
round it ring Of poles, every one of
which is crowned with human skull.
There are six gates to the town, and
every one of them is approached by

Political Issues Shaping

A Governor will be elected in New
Jersey next November to succeed
Walter E. Edge next January /. 1t
is generally conceded that Edward l.
Edwards, now Senator from Hudson
County, will be the Democratic can
didate. He has presented some bills
in the Legislature that are contrary
to those championed by Governor
Edge.
The taxation of all the properties in
the State for building of roads is now
in progress. New projects now shap-
ing are a tunnel under the Hudson
river to New York City. The other is
a bridge over the Delaware river con-
Meeting Camden and Philadelphia.
Governor Edge and the Republican
policy is to tax all properties in the
State to pay for building the tunnel
and bridge. Senator Edward | Ed
wards policy is to have bonds issued
to pay for these new projects and take
the money yearly from the amount
paid by automobiles who use the tun-
mel and bridge to pay the cost. Those
benefited should pay and not every
property owner in New Jersey.
What do you think?

The Army of Democracy

Milton Conover, son of Rev. E. M.
Conover, at Wenonah, has written an
interesting letter to his father, in
which he gives instances of u army
of democracy in France where he is.
He tells of graduates of colleges and
lawyers who serve as privates and fail
to get commissions because of physi-
cal defects. He says:
AZ have never heard a single n of
these lawyers grumble about their
hard luck and l don't see how they
could after coming thru alive. No
hard luck about that. | don't believe
they would kick about serving under
corporals and ~sergeants, whether or
not they were Cinnamon, but a SOL
der in one organization did. A
Chinese sergeant gave an order and
the private resented it because the
sergeant was a "Chink." The SER
geant drew out his pistol and threat
ened: "God Almighty made me a
Chink and the commanding officer
made me a sergeant. You do what
say" Such is the democracy of the
army and the efficiency of democracy,
which Kaiser Bill said that America
could not get and that we would not
fight.
The Penn's Grove record., 1919-03-14
Another German Defeat

The overwhelming victory of pro-
hibition in the United States is not
surprising, for it is a natural sequence
of our victory owe Germany. Every
body who has been interested in the
temperance movement knows that the
chief obstacle to it's progress has al
ways been the German element. The
German immigrants, altho in some re-
spccts making excellent citizens, re-
fused on this point to conform TO
American ideals of morality. With
curious inconsistency they denounced
prohibition as an invasion of personal
liberty while at the same time eulo-
giving the Vaterland for its regulation
of private life to a degree i~ntolerable
to an American. The anti-prohibition
movement was financed chiefly by Ger
man brewing and distilling interests,
the German saloon was it's agency and
the German vote paralyzed the politi-
cal parties that otherwise would have
espoused the temperance cause. Our
professors who went to study in Ger
man universities came back with the
belief that beer and high scholarship
we're inseparably associated.
But Just as soon as Germanism in
general fell into discredit this country
on account of the war, and the politi-
cal power of the Teutonic element was
abolished, prohibition began to boom
and now has carried the country
Ind. Independent.
The Penn's Grove record., 1919-03-14
Marshal .Joffre Said 1t Is Necessary

Marshal Joseph j. c.. Joffre, the
GREAT French General, who visited
America, says: ,
All the naClons expect security and
stability from the future peace. The
League OF Nations will be able to give
them this assurance, On the condition
hat severe measures will be possible
against any people who may be
tempted to violate the terms of the
treaty.
Now that civilization has been saw
ed. mankind must be amply protected.
This can be done by bringing the
League of Nations into life and rem
dering it strong.
1t is sometimes thought that the
professional soldier thrives on war and
that his sole ambition is to win glory
for himself. No supposition could be
more unjust to him. The true soldier
recognizes that his real achievement
is to plan and work so as to make war
a final eXpedient. Men of arms have
learned in common with men of medi-
cine that their mission is best accom-
plished by measures of prevention.
There has been no project so wisely
devised toward that end as the League
of Nations, in the advocacy of which
President Wilson has had so important
a part. For this principle to live
America must give full measure of en-
thusiasm and virility. Without Amer
lea as an essential factor the league
could have no result worth while. Let
America be in full accord with the
league principles and world progress
will be such that war will become ex-
traordinarily difficult and very rare, if
not impossible.
The league will relieve France of the
burden that has weighed upon her for
forty years. 1t will relieve her of that
prolonged apprehension of danger
which finally burst forth in most ter
rible form and ravaged her lands and
her people for more than four years.
1t will enable her to real her children
far from the atmosphere of menace
and violence.
Your own great soldier, Gen. Grant,
summoned up in four words the yearn-
ing of the world when he said: "Let
US have peace" That is the aspira-
ton of today, an aspiration which
must be satisfied.
