he ran. But the anger in the heart

him on at a greater pace.
Gradually he closed the distance
between him and the object of his

PACKER FIRMS

Chicago, Nov. 18-(By the Asso-
ciated Press.)-The two packing
firms, permission for whose merger
IL being considered by government
officials, Armour Z Co. and Morris
Z Co, cover the world with their
distributing systems.
From . ring Of packing houses
in Chicago trade routes ending in
branch houses and foreign agen-
cies Of both companies shoot out to
Nome and Capetown, Calcutta and
London, Buenos Aires and Auck-
land. Thousands Of refrigerator
cars with the right Of way over
everything but = fast passenger
train, and fleets of specially equip
ped ships. take chilled and frozen
meats to the remote quarters Of the
| globe.
The denizen of Cairo who longs
for . porterhouse from q corn fed
Iowa Hereford can get 1t through
the distributing system of either
of these packers.
EVERYBODY Buys Something.
Surgeons in Vienna get supplies
from the stock yards, South Sea
islanders send there for their soap.
Japan buys bovine gallstones, and
the use to which they are put is
not generally known among the
packers themselves; Germany, al
bumen, and Poland. fertilizers, at
the same sources.
ALI the big packers are every
where, not one in each center, but
in many cases. two, three and even
five in every locality. Frequently
/ their branch houses are next door
| to each other. The packing house
and fertilizer factories are within
a stones throw. Their iced re-
frigerator cars. thousand miles
away from their point Of depar-
ture, come in on the same siding.
The fact that there were so many
Implications in their manufactur-
ing and distributing systems a,
first caused livestock and packing
house men to doubt the merger
rumors which originated six
months ago. These Implications in
equipment now cause the men in
the business to wonder what will
be done with equipment valued at
scores of millions which is almost
an exact duplication.
! Layouts Identical
It is stated that in upwards OF Z;
cities, including foreign coun
tries. Armour & Co. and Morris
Co. have practically identical lay
outs. There are refrigerator stores
within a few blocks OF each othel
which would be affected by a con
solidation.

The radio station is located in a
little building on the roof. In order
to be able to hear the signals in the

Schweltzer uses a magnavoix, which

heard moro than block from the

in the upper Verde and also at Cave
Creek. SO that any appreciable rise
can be noted and broadcasted from
the station to the managers office IN
Phoenix and to all ranch owners Who
listen in.
Another Useful Phase.
There is also another phase Of use
fulness to the new radio station:
When the Verde, which flows into the
Salt river near Phoenix. is supplying
plenty of water only a little is used
from the reservoir back of the big
Roosevelt dam, and in the future the
inlet from the reservoir will be con-
t1-olied by telephone from Phoenix
based on reports from the radio sta
tion as to the state Of the water IN
the Verde. When the storage water
is not needed or the radio station ad-
vises the operator at Phoenix tnae
rain Ia falling in the Verde basin
the inlet to the system from the
Roosevelt Dam will be closed and ma
ture will take care of the irrigation,
but when the Verde is low che inlet
At the dam will be opened by tele-
phone orders from Phoenix. This con-
troll will conserve considerable Of the
valuable storage supply for emer-
gencies.
Some estimate of the project and its
value may be gained when 1t is known
that in this territory. practically
built up since 1899, 196.3s0 acres are
cropped annually cut of total acre
age OF POS. $50. and that the crops in
1920 were valued at S1S,55l,S00. The
land included in the Salt river project
comprises 1900 farms, with a popula-
tion of 81 500; includes IA towns with
81 schools, 81 churches and 20 banks.
During the past two decades the sec
tion has been transformed from an
arid territory into a high state OF cul-
tfvation. Its banks have gained $22,-
921.767 in deposits since 1920.
In the past there have been some
| bad years, when the water was short.
| but with the new radio control and
; communication it is believed that the
water can be SO conserved as to in
sure a steady and lasting supply.

Another branch of the Interior De-

riously considering the problem of
equipping mines with radio apparatus
for use in the event OF q cave-in or
other accident. The stringing of

Recently the five-watt tubes have
been replaced by a homemade set that
employs two fifty-watt tubes to gener-
ate the continuous waves. The plate

The real problem. they say. is to find
a simple and portable transmitting
set by which the miners could COM
municate with the mouth OF the mine
or the outs side world in the event Of
being injured in or imprisoned after
an accident. There is no room for a
large transmitting set, they point out,
and the danger of a transmitting
spark fgniting gases or coal dust
complicates the problem, although a
tube set might be used If the neces-
sary power could be supplied for it's
operation without lengthy power
wires, which would be in danger of
being cut constantly, Just as tele-
phone lines would be cut or broken
by the mining operations. Mining
engineers are studying the problem
and IL is very likely that a means of
efficient operation will be found be-
fore long.
Another scheme which is appealing
to the safety branch of the bureau Is
the installation Of broadcasting set
at each mine to advise the safety
squads and first-aid man of an acci-
dent SO that they could start for the
