Seven per cent dividends were paid
on the preferred stock and the usual
2 per cent dividend on the common
stock. the remainder of the profits
being invested in the business.
Absurdity of Charges.
"Our profits, while fair, consider
ing the business conditions during
the last year, show the utter alb
surditv Of the charges of agitators
that there exists undue control OF
the live stock and meat-food mar
kets, or that the packing business
has profteered," the statement said.
"The fiscal year 1919 was one
where declines, sudden and severe,
rendered the principal products OF
our business of such greatly de-
creased value in the closing days OF
the wear that what had seemed to be
profits from day TO dav operation
were completely wiped out and
turned int, heavy losses by the
shrinking in inventory values. Had
it not been for the earnings in for
eign fields and from subsidiaries, the
year would have been disastrous in
decd"

which the report said, had pros
porous year. . -..-
Attention was called to the agree
ment with the government for the
segregation of lines of business not
related to the packing industry.
This will cause some reorganiza-
ton of our business" the report said,
"and the segregation of some phases
thereof, but we do not expect it to
seriously affect our principal busi-
ness or the opportunity to conduct
our business at reasonable profit"
The statement concludes: I'VE
look to the future with confidence.
We believe that the sanity and good
sense of the American people will
take us through the trying period in
which we are living today. There
must be some adjustment of prices,
wages, salaries and incomes as will
keep the nation in its present state

The cities of the country are not
looking with the best of hopes to the
coming winter. Population has gather
ed in these conters the past few years
under high wage conditions and new
that thousands of laborers are being
laid off and there is an era Of much
idleness it is feared that much lawIrss-
ness will be witnessed in such centers
and the crime wave will roll higher than
it has been known in the past. Labor
conditions are rapidly changing. and
help of every kind is becoming more
plentiful and much cheaper with fall
ing prices. Conditions of the past few
years could not be expected to continue
for most classes Of labor have been re-
ewing more pay than they could pos
sibly earn for their employers and the
change back tothe normal Is b~utnatural.

THINGS TO BE THANKFUL FOR.

This is the month of Thanksgiving

thankful for. Y though they may
not have annexed more than two or
three millions the past season. The
fact that they have reasonably good
health and that they have plenty Of air
that is free from coal and street duet
ought to he worth something. Nofarm
err ever appreciates what a job it IS to
bring up children In a city fiat or town
plot. A friend who lives in a flat in
Hammond. Indiana, said to me;
1--WE nve In the second story of a
fiat and have three children. We really
ought TO have bells on the children but
city ordinance forbids this, so We let
them 90 and try 10 keep the eagle eye
on them. In a little while We cannot
find them so | go down one side of the
block, my wife goes down the otner
and eventually we come togeth at the
end Of the block; vi see a crowdgather-
ed out ia the middle of the street and
hurry over there to find out whether or
not it was me of our youngsters that
has been run over by a truck or street
car. 1t is a cay life, olc man. The real
place to bring up children is on the

Over fifty years ago a young
physician practiced widely in a
rural district and became famous
for his uniform success in the
curing of disease. This was DR..
Pierce, who afterwards estab-
lished himself in Buffalo, N. Y,
and placed one of his prescriptions,
which he called Golden Medical
Discovery" in the drug stores of
the United States so that the pub
lie could easily obtain this very
remarkable tonic, corrective and
blood maker. DR.. Pierce manu-
featured this Discovery" from
roots and banks IA corrective
remedy. the ingredients of which
nature had put in the fields and
forests, for keeping US healthy.
Few folks or families now living
have not at sometime or other used
this Golden Medical Discovery"
for the stomach, liver and heart.
Over twenty four million bottles
of this tonic and blood remedy
have been sold in this country.
