CLAIMS PACKERS MADE
IMMENSE WAR PROFITS

American citizens will recall the
p~rofiteering scandals of 1898, when
Spanish-American war volunteers
were compelled to eat decayed corn
ed beef which had been unloaded on
the government by the packing com
bine at enormous profits. SO much
publicity was thrown on this death
dealing sale by the meat trust that
the "Big Five would not dare to re-
peat the practice.
But, according to Alfred W. Nc
Cam, the food expert, writing in the
New York Globe, this is what the
firm of Swift & Co. dished out to our
soldiers, under a label of "Corned
Beef Hash"
Water ----..-68.30 per cent
Total protein ---. 1878 per cent
Total starch --. 1880 per cent
Total fat -- 6.52 per cent
Total ash .- SO per cent
This was revealed by chemical an
alysis of the contents of the cans,
and it means that the hash was made
up of so per cen corned beef mot

then purchasing Gamers" at from
1915 to $500 per 100 pounds on the
hoof. Swift & Co. did not use the
best" meats in packing the canned
corned beef sold to the government.
The government obliged Swift &
Co. to blot the word ''best" from the
label of the can en- which it was
printed. The total cost of the meat
in the ans sold by Swift & Co. to
the government was 6 cents.
Hash potatoes were p~urchasable at
the time of this sale at $3.50 a bar
rel, containing 165 potatoes net, or
les sthan a cent a pound.

For 21 cents Uncle Sam obtained
in the form Of a can Of corned beef

We were reading in The State the
other day an article referring to Co
lumbia's growth, and giving the taxa
bic property and itemizing or rather
classifying the property. The total
taxable property in Columbia as we
gathered from the article is $l6,-
900, 900. And of this one-twentieth
is in automobiles. The polls are
about ZOO more than, the total pop
ulation of the town Of Newberry and
the population about seven times
more ana vet the taxable property is
only Eve times more, and this city
the capital of the state. Now in the
inequality as among the counties OF
she asse ssment of property is where
there is need for reform in our tex
neshods. We have heard it said that
the imaginary line which divided The
counties Of Anderson and AbbsviLe
that the land on one side Of chs llae
vas valued at about three times what
{; was on the other side When it. came
20 the assessment of the land for the
purpose Of taxation. And there is NJ
doubt that there is great inequality
among the counties IN the Valuation

lights from his speech which We print
ed. Here are two:
Efficient production is the only
guarantee Of employment and Ct
higher wages. Never in our life time
have the shelves of the world been sc
bare
CAT the moment our export trade
hangs by a slender thread"
''The whole world owes the uniteo
States money and the whole world is
hungry for the things the United
States can supply"
And he suggests that we mus;
think internationally, and he is rig llt
and we must trade internationally. Il
is no further now from America to
Europe than it was in the other days
from Newberry to New York. We nc
longer measure distance in miles bu1

should open trade relations with the
people who need what we have to
sell. And we will. There IS bright
day just ahead Of this country and
when prosperity comes as it will
soon it will be ON a sound basis ana
there will be really good times.
Look to the future. Smile. Be OF

man you owe will treat you right and
give you q chance if he be the right

When we say there is no overp.o-

mean to indicate that the cotton

ducing it and if the price of c@t..ot2
should be kept down TO the present

thing for the cotton planter to DO Is
TO reduce production and hold Oh TO
what he has until the world makes
provision to buy it, or if there Ia
really overproduction, until the sup
ply somewhere near reaches the cost
Of production. No use to keep on
growing cotton il there is really no
demand for it.
And yet that does not change our
opinion that there is no overproduc-
ticn, but that there is something radi-
caily wrong with the manner OF dis
tribution so that those who really
need the clothes might have them.

The teacher suggested that the gil
take the form Of something psefu!
and asked the children to bring &
small sack Of sweet potatoes, which
they did, and when enptied into one
sack for the tree they measured cne
bushel and peek. Now that was
nice and every child in the school
had part in the useful gift.
This is simply confirmation in
tangible way of the. gospel that !
have been preaching in all the COM
munities that I have visited, that By
cooperation we could accomplish
great things, and that the only way
to do anything worth while for the
school or the community was for all
the forces in the community to work
together and cooperate for the gen
eral good. The sack Of potatoes ct
one child would not have amounted
to much, but when twenty or more
sacks were put into one, you see i
measured over a bushel, and nacc
something worth while and useful.
Now if all the children and the teach
ers and the patrons of the school
would cooperate and work together
in the right spirit there is no telling
what we could accomplish in a very
short time, and the burden, if burden
it be, would be very light on each
shoulder and the result would be
worth 50 n,uch to the school and the
community. I am going out to TINS

one on the west side, each extending
for several blocks, and it does ones
heart good to walk through these
markets to see the bountiful provis-
ions of everything conceivable that
can be produced on the farm as ex-
hibited by these farmer market peo-
pie. But. everything is still high in

we have today. The weather here IS

about which we "do not understand .
Why it is, when we have new press
and new machinery installed, we do
not get a readable paper. Last
