deavor in upbuilding many
kinds of markets.
To produce foods economical
~, zoe not only haze TO be in
many lines of business, but zoe
must also be large factors in
each OF these many lines. For
upon our ability to profitably
market the by-products de-
ponds our ability to buy and
sell foods at our present small
margin of profit.
But packer by-products re-
late to more than food. They
affect the everyday life of all.
They give employment and
wages to many additional thou
sands of workers, and they are
used in every business and
craft, and relate to every in
dustry in the world.
Thus it is that when you pur-
chase Armour Products you are
doing two important things:
You are helping assure pro-
ducers of fair prices which en-
courage them to raise the food
supply of the future.
And you are definitely secur-
ing for yourself utmost value
in the food you eat.

Hence, Armour and Com
pany must find a way to use
and sell every ounce of all live
stock.
One of the fundamental
benefits of big business is that

scientific Investigations in de-
veloping new products and the
organization to sell them when
they have been developed.
There is more imposed upon
us than merely the marketing
OF meat. The beef animal re-
ferred to above affords an in

manufacturing and selling

not food at all. Multiply this
one steer by millions. Think
of the problem of finding mar
kets for glue, curled hair,
hides and pelts, wool, lubricat-
ing oils, soaps, banjo strings,
pharmaceutical preparations,
sandpaper and many other by
products in almost amending
quantities. This would be diff
ficult for a concern with lesser
facilities; no large organiza-

CURB ISSUES LOSE
GAINS IN LAST HOUR
Vigorous Buying in Early Part
of Session Sends Prices to
New Highs

After making substantial advances IN
the morning as a result of vigorous
buying movement, some of which was
for outside account, prices for most OF
the prominent curb securities slumped
In the last hour and lost most of their
early gains. Several new highs were
established during the hrst part of the
trading, and only one or two stocks
maintained improvements made In the
first two hours
A broader list of Industrial stocks
was dealt In. but heavy activity was
centred in q few issues. Among them
was General Asphalt, which established
a new high record. while General Asphalt
preferred reached It's previous high
mark. Both weakened toward the
close Madison Tire moved to q new
high mainly because Of short covering,
and closed near the top level of the
day.
In the Independent oils movements were
not so wide. The largest advance re-
corded was in Midwest Refining. which
sold three points higher this being the
best Improvement since its recent de-
cline. Sinclair stocks closed with small
fractional advances and Shell Trading
rallied before the close after heaviness
during the last hour. Standard Oil
stocks we're quiet but steady. There was
good buying of Standard Oil of New
Jersey preferred in the last hour. which
sent the price more than a point higher.
Brazos Oil was prominent with an
advance of more than point, and
Simms gained a fraction. Home OIL re-
! acted after rising a fraction. Rather
heavy offerings of Allied Oil were quickly
| absorbed. The company. through sub
salaries, owns IS, 900 acres Of oil and
gas leases, from which daily produc-
| - 49, -
obtained. In addition to O now capacity
of 100000 cubic feet Of gas q day.
The mining and bond sections con-
tinued dull with no important changes.

WASTE OF HELIUM
USED AS WARNING
Value of Canada's Resources
Not Appreciated.

OTTAWA, Ont. Sept. 15.-Fifty million
dollars worth of helium gas was lost
every day in Calgary for years.
This interesting fact rests on the
statement of Prof. ]. C. McLennan of
the University Of Toronto, in an address
before a special committee OF the House
OF Commons. He was discussing Can
ada's wonderful latent resources and
urging Government aid to exploit them,
These resources include water power,
natural gas deposits, petroleum fields,
coal and mineral beds. If they We're de-
veloped, he declared, Canada would be-
come one of the greatest industrial
countries in the world.
TN 1903" aid Prof. McLennan, at
was observed that many OF the natural
gases OF Canada contained a small per-
centage CT helium. 1t was found in
1915 that the largest supply of natural
gas in Canada at Bow Island, Alberta,
contained a little over SO per cent. of
helium. This is a comparatively small
and apparently Insignificant amount. Yet
I may tell you that this wonderful gas
was so rare and costly that at pre-war
prices the value of the quantity that
escaped into the air from the furnaces
and stoves of Calgary was $4,000, 900
a day.
"By the Developments that have taken
place within the last two years the cost
OF producing the gas has been reduced
roughly 100, 900 times. Owing to these
new methods of production, it became
possible to use this gas in place of hy-
drogen in lighter thar air craft. With
the plants projected by the Admiralty
and the United States Government we
should have been able by June /, this
year, If the war had continued, to pro-
duce 100000 cubic feet of this gas
every month for use in army balloons at
the front
"Although 4 will not pay to use this
gas f3r balloons In peace activities,

COFFEE MARKET.

A fairly good demand from one or two
leading trade interests and buying by a
Wall Street firm, tlfe latter being at
tributed to foreign account and to pos
sibly Western operators, caused call
prices to advance 80 to 30 points. The
advance, however. seemed to be more
rapid than it was warranted by early
official cables and prices soon sagged off
despite receipt of three or four bullish
cables on crop conditions in Santos.
Late in the session all the earlier gains
had been lost, final prices being points
net lower to 8 points net higher on
realizing.
One cable said that the Santos crop
would not exceed $4,000 bags, the
next year s,eee,eee and the following
