PLAN TO STABILIZE
LIVESTOCK PRICES

CHICAGO.-Sudden fluctuatoins in
livestock prices, which have been q
disturbing economic factor to pro-
ducers, shippers, commission men
and meat packers, have resulted in
the appointment of a committee to
work out plan for stabilizing the
market. The committee will repre-
sent members of livestock exchanges
whose collective sales of hogs, cattle
and sheep amount annually to over
$4,000,000,O00.
Everett c. Brown, president of the
National Live Stock Exchange, said
1t is hoped to work out "a remedy
that will benefit the whole industry,
as we'll as the public" The commit
tee includes Emil Ingerwersen, r. w.

Brown and representatives of the
leading packers.
In single week hog prices de-
clined nearly 50 a hundred pounds.
Grain men point out that, while de-
clines in livestock prices and prices
of various other commodities have
been most marked, politicians and
agitators have directed their attacks
almost exclusively at the grain ex-
changes. 1t is argued that the grain
price declines were perfectly natural

BUSINESS ON FIRM
BASIS SAYSEXPERT
Gives Ten Reasons Why
Business Outlook Is
Good

WELLESLEY, Mass.-Ten rea-
sons why the business outlook in the
United States is favorable and why
business men should assume a more
optimistic attitude are given by Rog-
er w. Babson, famous statistician.
Here they are:
First, the working people in this
country are in possession of the
great majority of the bonds issued by
the United States Government during
the war. This is a very favorable
sign, for it shows that the great mass
of people are in a sound financial
condition.
Second, that as a result of the
coming Of national prohibition two
and one-half billion dollars prev
iously wasted in this industry year
ly is now available for business pro-
jects that are more useful and more
likely to promote the welfare of all
people.
Third, that in spite of the wide
spread opinion to the contrary, the
Federal Reserve Banking System has
been an important factor in STABILIZE
ing financial conditions in this coun-
try.
Fourth, that advertising is now
an influential means of moulding
public opinion. This profession has
now reached such an advantage and
scientific stage in it's development
that it is logical means by which
the people of the country can be con-
WINGED that, contrary to their present
opinion, business is really on a firm
basis and that there is no cause for
the present depression.
Fifth, that the argument that the
falling off of our foreign trade will
prove ruinous is ill-founded, for such
trade only constitutes 5 per cent Of
the total. What little stoppage there
may be in this field, therefore, is of
little or no consequence and will have
no noticeable effect on the general
business outlook.
Sixth, that recently the standard
iZation of manufacturing process
has been increasing with such amaZ-
ing rapidity that there has been a
considerable reduction in the cost of

influence of no mean Importance and
should not be sighted in any consid-
Grafton of the future of industries in
general.
Seventh, that all statistics gath
cred recently offer overwhelming
proof that seasonal fluctuations in
production in this country are rapid
ly decreasing. This will prove to be
very beneficial as it will tend to
make the demands for labor more
constant.
Eighth, that taxation will be rad
ically reduced in the near future.
Ninth, that rapid progress is be-
ing made in industrial education
with the result that the men employ
ed in industrial plants are much bet
ter trained for their tasks and are
performing them with far greater
efficiency. The trade schools that are
now established in all sections of the
country are accomplishing wonders
in this way.
tenth, that the United States as
result of the war is now a creditor
nation instead of a debtor nation,
and, therefore. is in a very power
full position in the business world"

COUNTRY PAPERS
SUFFER HEAVILY
High Price Of Paper Has
Forced Many to
Quit

BOSTON.--In an article on News
paper Mortality" the Boston News
Bureau in current issue says:
The narrow margin of profit
which exists In the newspaper busi-
ness between publishing cost and sell
ling price has been wiped out in a
very large number of cases by the
steady upward march of contract
prices for newsprint. Many publica-
tions are now retailing on the streets
for nearly the cost Of the blank paper
on which they are printed.
Naturally this rising tide has
caught and drowned many publish
ers who were not strong enough
either to climb above it by raising
their prices or to keep themselves
atioat on the earnings of more pro-
fitable years in the past.
"The magnitude of this flood tide
and the number of it's victims is in
Dictated by the decline in registra-
tions of second-class publications
with the Post Office Department.
Decrease from previous fiscal
year: 1919, 1,15S; 1918, 1888;
1917, II.
These, of couAse, are net figures;
that is, they do not measure the num-
Der of publications which went out
of business without offsetting it with
the new publications registering for
the first time.
"The full measure of discontinue
ton of established publications is
contained in the figures of Messrs.
Ayers & Son, of Philadelphia. Their
complications show the following
suspensions, net listings and net
losses for the three years:
Publications suspended - 1919,
1859; 1918, 1854; 1917, 1859.
New publications listed-1919, 1,O43
1918, IT'S; 1917, 1,O43. Net loss
1919, 646; 1918, LIS; 1917, GIG.
"Only few of the largest metro
politan dailies have their own print
mills; only the largest publications
relatively few in number con-
tract direct with producing COM
panies for their supplies at the pub
lished contract prices.
''The greater number of publica-
lions get their newsprint through
jobbers and middlemen, and some of
them do not even have contracts.
These are the consumers whose need
drives them to pay the spot" prices
for newsprint-sometim as high
as twelve and fifteen cents a pound.

800 Gamblers Are
Taken in Chicago
Raid. Clean Sweep

CHICAGO.-Sudden fluctuations in
arrests were made and gambling
paraphernalia valued at thousands of
dollars was seized in a crime drive
in Chicago. The drive started at
midnight and continued until to-
night
Fill up the cells" was the order
given by Chief F'itzmorris. The
order of the chief was executed by
900 detectives and police. The jails
were filled. The prisoners for the
most part were gamblers, but scores
of men and boys carrying arms were
gathered in. Some had burglars
tools. The drive brought in numer-
GUS dope" sellers and boot-leggers.
Raids centered around notorious
gambling dens. How it was carried
on is well illustrated by the raid on
"Artic Quin's Smoke Shop" The
place was swarming with gamblers
and the tables groaned under the
weight of gold and silver.
Automobiles loaded with detec-
tives and police dashed to the curb.
With drawn pistols the officers
smashed thru doors and into the
heart of the dive. Gamblers who at
tempted to rush" the police and
escape were dubbed insensible.
When the place was "mopped up"
ten loads of prisoners were hauled
away Gold, silver and currency
taken from the gambling tables ex-
ceeded $4,000.
Another sensational raid was that
on the establishment of mick the
Greek" Dandolos. Scores were ar
rested, but only a small sum of
money was found. Dandolos was
searched. He had $4,000 that he
had scooped from the tables hidden
in his shirt.
There was $1,0OO,OOO being
gambled in the places we raided,"
said Chief of Detectives Hughes.
where did it come from? 1t
came from the stick ups, the jewelry
robbers and the payroll robbers. Sat-
urday night found these crooks in
the gambling dens, losing it all. It's
gambling that lures them. They rob
and kill just to have som ething with
which to shoot craps and play faro

The raids created tremendous
sensation in political quarters where
it was said gamblers got their protec-
ton.

these dicks where to get off,"

"You must give the doctor a cup

city,"
But Donald Bruce seemed in no
hurry to return.
"This," he said musingly, smells
like my grandmother's kitchen. Used
