MOST PEOPLE WHO HAVE
NOTHING TO 90 MAKE The
MISTAKE OF DOING IT!

703,400 and Swift, Wilson and Cudahy
combination has capital of $204,12S,-
GOO, the assets of the former are Civ
en- as s571 ,941 ,513, whereas the assets
Of poor Swift, Wilson and Cudahy are
only S525, 765, 944, scarcely enough to
struggle along with.
1t must be a great hardship to
be in the packing industry. Poor
Swift, it will be recalled in 1919,
told the world there was a loss of
10 cents on every head of cattle he
handled. If the farmers had pro-
duced more animals, no one knows
what would have happened.
In 1921, however. live cattle cost
$67.53, proceeds from beef were $75.-
80, the returns from by products were
1851, but even then there was only a
profit Of S1.13 on each animal. Just
by what system of hocus pocus meat
profits continuously decline, meat con
sumption continuously increases and
meat supply invariably is adequate,
and yet meat prices are perpetually
tilted skyward does not appear.
Evidently if all the figures are
true, another merger will mean the
public will have nothing to eat but
cows horns at IS a pound, and the
unfortunate packers will be starving
to death in the streets Of Chicago.
The farmer, of course, will be de-
lighted with the proposed merger. 1t
will mean hat the closer combine
will voluntarily offer him more for
beef on the hoof-mebbe.

RED CROSS HEALS
WOUNDS Of WAR
Is, 1000 Disabled Ex-Ser-
vice Men in Hospitals
After Four Years.
Every Veteran Needing
Help Gets Individual
Attention.

When on November II the world
halted to observe the fourth anniver-
sary of Armistice Day, and hte Ameri-
IA Red Cross inaugurated its Annual
Roll Call for the enrolment of the
1928 membership, the people of the
United States could well pause to
think of the unparalleled contribution
to the cause Of peace made by our
Army and Navy in the war. The glory
of it is a common tradition; but the
wounds of war remain. They are not
healed in a day, in a year, nor in four
years. And on Armistice Day there
were under treatment in Govern
ment hospitals over $4,000 ex-service
men, broken physically by wounds,
exposure, ervou strain and exhaus-
ton incident to their service in the
war.
The Government without stint is
undertaking to furnish these disabled
men with the compensation and med
ical care to which they are entitled
yet their especial care is a duty of the
Red Cross. Why? Because the Gov
eminent cannot handle the cases of
ex-service men individually; it must
handle these men in bulk under a
standardized policy. The Govern
ment has neither the authority, the
funds or the equipment for working
out the problem of the individual man.
There is where the American Red
Cross finds its greatest field for SER

Are Morris and Armour
F%orerunnmg a Great
Packing Merge9
By EDWARD PERCY HOWARD

Washington, D. C. Nov. 20 Per-
o n who have listened to the woes of
the poor meat packers nearly broke
their jaws laughing when j. Odgen
Armour swooped down on the capt.
tai accompanied by counsel and ex-
perts, loaded with books and papers,
to lay seige to the Department of
Justice with a view to getting a rul-
ing in favor Of a great meat merger
representing assets valued at more
than $500, 000, 900.
Just how the meat barons propose
to square the application with the
persistent insistenee that the more
business they do the less profit they
make, has not been disclosed. 1t is
known, however, that the first stage
of the battle for supremacy is a pro-
posed merger of Armour Co. and
Morris & Co. Indeed, report has it
that even a closer combine is pro-
jected with Attorney General Daugh-
erty.
Daugherty passed upon the Lack
awanna and Midvale steel eonsolida-
tions, declaring they would not vio-
late the antitrust laws, but unfortu-
nately for the steel group, the Fed
eral Trade Commission kicked over
the basket and spilled the beans.
Seemingly so far as the Armour
outfit is concerned, the closer con-
troll of meat and prices is none of
the public's business. Indeed, the only
persons in Washington who "knew
nothing at all about the deal" were
Mr.. Armour and his Vice-President,
Arthur Meeker, who came to the ma
tional capital ito see his daughter"
Counsel and experts evidently were
brought along by Mr.. Armour to see
that the great food purveyor is serv-
ed nothing but chuck steak so persis-
tently urged for consumption as the
most desirable of cuts when the pub
lie dares to protest against rising
meat prices.
A line up Of Armour and Morris
would give them a dominant posi-
ton over Swift, Wilson and Cudahy.
While the capitalization Of Armour
and Morris foots up to only $780,

Oregon Eleven Pinned
For Fight With W. u.

University of Oregon Eugene Nov.
Is -oregon will be primed for the
hardest fight of the season when the
Webfooters go into battle array a.
gainst the University of Washington
eleven in Seattle, Thanksgiving Day,
according to Coach Shy Huntington
who during the past week put the
Oregon men through long, hard
nights of practice in preparation for
the contest.
The players are rounding into late
season form, according to the coach,
and by virtue of their past two VIC
tories have the winning psychology.
Furthermore, they are in condition
for the first time this season and
have developed the machine-like pre-
cision which comes only when the
fundamentals of gridiron tactics
have been thoroughly mastered.
Several star members of the eleven
which trounced the Oregon Aggies
have been on the hospital list since
that game but Trainer Bill Hayward
expects to have them in shape within
the next few days. "Cogs" Campbell,
2lO pound tackle, has been i'll in bed
for the past week and Coach Hunt
ington expresses some apprehension
as to his condition. George King,
star ~halfback, is suffering with n
sprained hip and Quarterback Chap
mans back is badly skinned and lime
burned. However, with the possible
exception Of Campbell all men are
expected to be in fighting trim when
the team leaves for Seattle Tuesday.
Line Coach Spellman has Reid, who
has made his letter this year, and
Gooding, a new man this season, who
has been showing unusual develop

2,67s Chapters Aiding Veterans
In this work, upon whose accom-
plishment the American Red Cross is
urging a record breaking enrolment
in the Roll Call which opened Ar
mistiee Day and closes with Thanks
giving Day 2.6T9 Chapters in all
parts of the country are engaged.
This is $50 more than were working
for ex-service men last year when
approximately $lo,000,0 900 was ex-
pended by the National Organization
and the Chapters working together
in harmonious unity.
For the current fiscal year National
Headquarters Appropriated $780,
692.90 an increase of $685., 560,S4 over
the amount spent for the work among
ex-service men in the year ended
June 80 last. Since it is estimated
that the Chapters will expend close
to S7,000,0 900 from their W funds,
the grand total of Red Cross expendi-
lures for this single work is expect
ed again to reach the Sl0,000,O 900 mark
by June 80, 1928.
Hospital and District Office Work
During the fiscal year a total of
owe 1000 persons. paid and volun-
teer, has been engaged in Red Cross
duty in hospitals or district Offices of
the U. S.. Veterans Bureau. An aver
age of 5000 new cases requires de-
finite and particular attention each
month. The demand for Chapter
made articles for hospital patients is
constant.
During last year Service Claims
ard Information Service at National
Headquarters handled $4,000 compen-
sation and insurance claims, 24,560
allotment and allowance cases, ard o.
700 miscellaneous claims. Since Feb
ruary, 1919, it has disposed of Ca
TIA allotment checks payable to vet
Grams which the Post Office Depart
ment reported unbelievable.
The Chapter is the unit Of the Red
Cross organization which is access
ible to every disabled veteran or his
family. Between July l, 1921, and
June 80, 1922, the Chapters had re-
ported 1,665, 079 instances of service
to ex-service men and their depen-
dents, at a cost estimated from re-
ports now at hand of more than S5,-
$40, 900.
The basis Of this far-reaching work
of the Red Cross is the individual
needs of the disabled veteran to the
end that he may obtain his rights un-
der the law, that his especial wants
may be Immediately supplied, that
his own family's situation may be
rendered happy and cheerful, and
that their outlook for the future
may visualize incentives for indie
pendent and fruitful effort.

Turkey Red Production
Greater Than Last Year

Oregon Agricultural College. Cor
wallis. Nov. 28-An increase of 10 per
cent In Morrow county's production
OF turkey red wheat, above last years
production. is expected this year, &C.
cording to F. L. Ballard, assistant
state county agent leader.
In 1919 five per cent of the wheat
shipped from Morrow county was
turkey red, Forty-fold being the pre-
dominating variety. Two years later
the percentage was raised to 55.
This incrtase resulted from de-
monstration work carried on by G. C.
Calkins, county agent. The advant-
ages of the variety are a larger yield,
particularly in the northern part of
Morrow county's wheat area, and
superior quality.

Question of Prisoners.

MUDANIA. October THE question
of the evacuation Of eastern Thrace
was not discussed at the morning
conference between the allied gen.
erals and Ismet Pasha, but was placed
on the program for the evening ses-
sion, pending receipt by the allies of
further advices from London and
Paris.
Ismed Pasha, acting in behalf of the
Angora government asked that a
clause be included in the Mudania
convention to the effect that since
Turkey had released all Greek civil
ian prisoners, all Turkish civilian
prisoners in Greek hands should be
released. He demanded also the re-
lease Of all Turkish prisoners of war
but was not willing to reciprocate.
The allied generals replied that re-
garding the release of civilian pris-
oners, this matter would be referred
Immediately to their governments, as
it was not a point on which they were
competent to decide. The release of
prisoners of war. they declared, was
a matter to be settled between the

"They are under no illusion Of the

The deputies protest against such
a decision and denounce 1t as "a re-
