ARMOUR WILL
BARE HISTORY
Of PACKING

The packers side OF the contro-
and the methods by which supplies
are distributed is to be pretty COM
pletely presented IL the presence in
town OF the representatives. Of the
two biggest packing companies in
the country may be taken as evidence.
Among the most interesting figures
here is J. Ogden Armour, the head Of
the great Chicago packing house, who.
with Levy Mayer, his attorney, is
registered at the Washington Hotel
When seen by a Times reporter,
Mr.. Mayer said:
"Mr. Armour has come TO Washing
ton to give the facts regarding the
packing business as he knows 1t. He
has for thirty-siH years been identI-
fed with the purchase. sIaughtering,
and distribution OF meat products and
the manufacture OF other foods.

"IIe expects to be called before the

say viii be OF most interesting and
Illuminating character"
Other welI-known figures In the
packing business who are expected 70
testify are Louis r. Swift. of m.
Swift Company, who will follow NJ.
Armour on the stand, and Thomas 4
Wilson, Of Wilson & Co.
Other factors in the food situa,Ion
causing some comment today are the
Administration plan for q fund OF
$3.50 .OOo, 900 with which the Govern
ment shall guarantee tho farmers
their fixed price OF S2a6 per busheI
for the 1919 wheat crop and the aci-
tation for return TO the old com
petitive price-hxing ARRANGEMENTS
prevailing before the war Democrats
and Republicans alike take the wheat
fund as a matter of course, as neither
party would dare sugrest that the
Government break faith with the
farmers.

Vegetables have gone up in price
somewhat since the discontinuance or
the fair price list and the lifting Of
Federal food regulations" said Mr.
Wilson today. But this increase IL
fair because winter vegetables must
be brought to Washington from long
distances. The drop in price Of staples
more than makes up for the slight in
crease in the cost of vegetables.

Mickey wears boys clothes during,
tie first part of the play and the,
squirrel spirits up her trouser leg.
The hero tries to save the lady from
the squirming squirrel, and his gallant
efforts look very peculiar to Mickey's
foster father, who hastens up bent on
murder and sudden death And then
he sees the squirrel and joins the
rescue party.
And, by the way, Mickey ought to
get the Iron Cross for her courage.
Pshaw Any girl might lead an army
like Jeanne Dare, or just save chill
dren in burning houses, or jump off
cliffs, or any little thing like that. But
ito let rat or squirrel run up your

for volunteers to save the country by
letting rates run up dresses, the only
answer would be a yell fading away
