"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 l,34S, 100000 pounds of
meats in cold storage. If the meat in
storage was placed on the market it
would only be 20 days supply.
This meet is not artifcially withheld
from trade channels to maintain or
advance prices.
Meats in storage consist Of
IS per cent (approxmate) hams, bacon, etc.,
in process of curing 1t takes 80 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-fifths
of pound per capita, and much of it will
have TO 60 to supply European needs.
1o per cent is frozen beef and lamb, part of
which is owned by the Government and
intended chiefly for overseas ship
ment If this were all diverted to dornes-
tic trade channels, it would be only
1E lbs. per capita-a days supply.
lo0%
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 a steady flow of finished
product.

Gern7anv'S Fate.

With memories of what happened in Russia still
fresh because of what is still happening there, no.
body will care to assume air of finality when
discussing affairs in Germany.
1t is clear however. that the early reports which
described the crisis in the government as a triumph
for the Spartacus group were entirely too alarming
The differences which led to the break between
two groups, both opposed to Liebknecht. and the
moderate of the two groups is the one which
remains in power. The change was away from Boil
leader in the government and remains with the ap-
prevail of the worlmens and soldiers councils
which, nearer than anything else in Germany rep
resent popular opinion.
All of the correspondents seem to agree that the
food shortage is pressing heavily upon the poorer
classes, while people who have money still fairly
well Off Every day that the government remains
weak and the poor starve while the rich eat makes
the conditions better for Lebknecht- His following
it is agreed, is still but small minority likely
grow by leaps and bounds if the inequality OF
food distribution is not remedied
This situation could be met by direct importations
Of food from the allies, but with ring of friendly
nations around Germany which are nearer starva-
ton than Germany ITSELF the allies offering Ger
many no encouragement that food will be sent there
before it is sent to Poland for instance.
An early peace, for which Germany is also beg
g1ng would be help, because it would open Ger
man ports and give Germany chance, under proper
restriction, to enter the worlds market for food
But the prospect for the signing of peace treaty
with Germany is far from immediate The allies are
not going to permit possible lack of self-restraint
making an ill-considered treaty
1t comes down to this: II the Germans VIM not
conduct themselves at least as we'll an they have
been doing, they win be allowed to suffer the con-
sequences OF their own bad conduct Six weeks more

Deserving of Reward.

The Argus does not believe that it is always good

ward would have been offered for the murderers.
To fail to offer one now would be equivalent
alizing the officers for speed and diligence

Instances have been known in which officers
have deliberately held off in making arrests in the
hope that special emoIuments would be posted. Such
tactics Of course not to be commended, but the
fact that they followed in this instance
should not seem to weigh against the officers who
did their duty so promptly and with such satisfac

The reason for all crimes of violence lies
in the revolver. That conclusion is inescap-

A law making it an offense punishable by a

The County's Showing.

Not in the total subscribed in Rock Island county
fourth Liberty loan but in the total number
of subscribers lies the chief for satisfaction.
The fact that than Al 900 of total popula-
ton of something over 10000 bought bonds is most
significant It is a showing that it is believed few
other counties have excelled.
The total subscriptions in the county, $6,976 45O,
average of but SO less than 500 every
individual, hasing the computation the of
1910. OF there are several thousand more
people here than there were in 1870 but other
counties will compute their percentages on figures
taken at the time. The average size of the
subscriptions $16S.
Naturally good many bought bonds who could
not afford to do so, and there have been CORES
pondfng number of lapses. The proportion however,
is not likely to be greater here than elsewhere.
On the whole everybody may with reason feel
proud of what Rock Island county did in the fourth
loan If we do anywhere SO well in the fifth
loan we need fear reproach for having fallen
short in financing the war.
