The supper was given in a base

Schmidt with others was skating

INCREASES AND DECREASES IN FREIGHT.

article in the current issue OF the Railway Age
IN shows that the changes in the freight handled by the
railways in 1921 compared with 1920 varied from

grain products

that shipments Of all commodities declined This how
far from true The total freight business declined
in 1921 than in any other year history but this
extraordinary decline in total business accompanied
by remarkable increases in the movement OF com
modities.
The greatest decline was in ore shipments which de-
creased from 9h3se3 carloads 1920 to 9Oi53 in 1921

which the earnings OF some roads handling large

The number OF carloads OF forest products shipped de-
cned from so5923 in 1920 to 2s3O79 1921 1877 per

The decline in shipments Of livestock small being

Polly and Paul-and Paris
By ZOE BECKLEY
CHAPTER XII-The Arrival at Paris

Polly lay, hot and sobbing, upon
her bed for a minute or two after
she heard the door close.
Paul-dear, kind and tender. what
had--she done to him? Sent him away
in a fit OF hysterical weeping over
Violet Rand's catfish attack!
The cry had done her good. She
was able to reason now. After all,
had Violet been more catty than she
herself2 How silly to be jealous. >
She, Polly, had probably seemed
prudish and bride-ish and small
town. 1t had been a temptation on
Vio's part to pique her Perhaps she
had meant no harm. =.
Polly heard someone at the door
and quickly hid her tear-dishgured
face in the pillow. She heard Paur"s

all smiles, and held out her hands
for the wee thing.
Il knew that'd 'ud fetch youl
Ever see such cute kit? Vic Rand
borrowed it from the purser's cat
and sent it with her apologies and
friendly greetings"
A rev days later they landed at
Cherbourg. or rather were put off
the giant liner onto a tender which
ran alongside and took them to the
dock of the first foreign city Polly
had ever seen.
She was thrilled at the strange
ness and novelty of the old world

shining copper milk cans - fishing
boats with russet sails, dog-drawn
wagons heaped with gay-colored
vegetables - peasant women with
kerchiefs, caps and voluminous
skirts, sweeping TIE streets and
tending fish-stals.
Polly was supremely happy. All
her doubts and fears had been re-
solved. She was more than ever in
love with her husband She was
friendly enough with Violet Rand.

Huge Losses of the Packers
(From the New York Herald)

fewer meat animals were marketed
in 1921 than in 1920 by the grow
ers, the falling Off in the shipments
was not considerable. the decline
being from 100000 head to &c.
100000, or only about per cent.
This explains neither the plight OF
the live stock raisers nor the losses
suffered by the packers
II is necessary TO look elsewhere
for an explanation. In this Mr.
Armour gives the clew. The by
product industries were hard hit.
But the greatest loss was suffered in
products remaining unsold in Eu-
rope. In America the demand was
good. As an instance OF this the
metropolitan markets OF New York.
Philadelphia and Boston may be
cited According to Government
figures, total of 100000 900
pounds Of fresh meats was disposed
Of in these centers in 1921, an in
crease of 1O6 900, 900, or about 7 per
cent. more than in 1920. But ex-
ports OF meats. excluding by-prod-
ucts. declined from 500 O0O.OO
pounds in 1920 to 10000. 600
pounds in 1921. or about 25 per cent.
Causes OF defation in the packing
industry were much the same as in
other industries. That the packers
losses were not larger is a fresh
illustration that the good wide
home markets are a safe retreat
when the winds of depression howl.
but home markets must be supple
mented by foreign outlets to insure
a fullmeasure of prosperity.
There is proof here also OF low
baseless are the charges so fire.
quently heard that banking or legis-
lative powers might have checked
the rigors of general denation The
packers with their powerful world
wide organizations and their great
financial resources could not do this
even for their own single though
many-sided industry.
Evening journal., 1922-01-28

The story behind the losses report
ed by the packing industry in 1921
is not, as may at first appear, a
sequel to the losses suffered by agri-
culture. OF which the packing indus
try is an appanage. Crop values in
1921 were written down from $9.-
600, 600. 900 in 1920 to S5.675.00O, 600,
the total value of live stock market
ed in 1921 was written down to ST.
96S. 100000 from the 1920 value Of
$2,913, 700, according to the Gov
ernments figures. This meant a
total loss to agriculture OF s4,270.-
100000. But it does not follow that
the packing industry was debated be-
cause agriculture was debated.
In explaining the business turn
over of $500. 10000 on which Arm
our g. Co., OF Chicago, took a loss OF
S31,7O9,S17 last year. compared with
a 5000 100000 turnover and a prof
of s5,319,975 in 1920 j. ogden Arm
our, president of the company. said
that 1921 was the most disastrous
year in our business history" and
utter helplessness in the matter Ct
affecting prices better illustrated"
The tanning business and the
canned fruit and vegetables enter
prises carried on by Armour & Co.
piled up big losses, Mr. Armour ex
planned, and the inability to sell II
European markets was another greai
handicap.
Swift & Co., reported a loss Of
S2O,OO0,0O0 on a turnover of $500
100000. Louis f. Swift. president
of the company, attributed most OF
the loss to the marking down of in.
ventories early in the year. Neither
of the companies ascribed its losse:
to the defation OF agriculture. or
the contrary, the Swift sales in dol

Again and yet again;

The worlds unconquered master
