WHERE ARE ALL THE PROFITS?

Judge Gary, presiding genius of the
United States Steel Corporation in
forms us the steel business has doubled
in the past year. Have the profits of
the farmer doubled?
The railroads have greatly improved
their income in the past year. Has
the cost of living for those who work
on the railroads shown any proper
tionate decline for the workers?
Business is up approximately fifty
per cent and so is the cost of living
even compared with 1914. Where are
the profits going?
The meat packers are now consider
ing still closer combination by which
they can effect greater economies and
increase their profits. What about the
man who raises and sells the steer?
When he talks combination an alarum
is sounded that echoes among the mon
ey changers from coast to coast. When
are we to find that financial Moses who
will lead the people to some sort Of
combination that works for the pub

the cow until the meat of the animal
is only a small portion of the profit
accruing from her predestinated
slaughter We turn the beast into ev-
erything from hair combs to floor var
nish and pay hundred profits in ev-
cry hair of her hide. We have made
the by-product more valuable than the
product itself, and yet by some strange
hocus pocus the people are hungering,
and paying extortionate prices for the
bit of meat they can afford to buy.
Our meat is sold abroad at figures
Americans despair of seeing in this
country When the public voice is
raised, however, it is soon quieted by
our old friend, Statistics, who proves to
us beyond a doubt that the margin of
profit on cow is so small that it can
not be cut without disappearing alto

NEW DEVELOPMENT WILL BE
GREAT ASSET TO LAKELAND

The Kaufmann-Ii aldeman Company
has taken over the sale of over 1000
acres of tine land lying just west
and northwest OF Lakeland known as
the Webster and Omohundro tract,
and is cutting it up into ten acre
units, laying out ROADS 50 that each
tract will front a public highway, and
selling it to investors and settlers
at reasonable prices. This develop
ment will open up a section of Polk
county heretofore held as Il wholesale
tract, and never before offered to the
public in small, tracts. This will mean
that a strawberry section equal TO
the famous Plant City section will
be developed light at our door A
great number of these farms, which
have been appropriately named Ideal
Farms, have already been sold to 10
cal pesple, no advertising up to this
time having been done elsewhere. One
man, well known in Lakeland, bought
three of these farms and has an option
on three more for his friends in the
North.
This is only an example Of what
well posted men think of the PROPOSE
ton, with the result that the survey
ing party is finding it difficult to
keep stakes set ahead OF the sales.
This development should mean the
addition of from 200 to 400 families
in Polk county, directly tributary to
Lakeland, and will benefit every
business man in the city. The pro
position has the endorsement of the
/ Chamber of Commerce and the banks
of the city, and the people generally
are beginning to realize the import
ance of the undertaking. 1t has been
some time since development of such
magnitude has been undertaken II
this vicinity, but from present indica
ltions the land will all be sold mucl
4 sooner than was anticipated, II is q
/ proposition which should have the co
operation of every loyal cltizeh o

/ equipped with radio phones to PICK
up daily radio concerts in the bay
region.
W. E. Travis, president of the
California Transit Company, sent
the first radio equipped bus out on
its regular run to Sacramento and
in spite of the obstacles which con-
fronted the test enough information
was obtained to warrant further
experiments and to assure Mr..
Travis that radio concerts would
soon be reality for his patrons.
With only two step radio short
wave receiving outfit and handi-
capped by the necessity of operating
with a low antenna, the bus was
able to pick up San Francisco and
Oakland concerts as far as Mar
tinez.
At Sacramento a test was made
by special arrangement with the
Holbrecht broadcasting station. It
was found that by a sacrifice of
speed the concert was as audible
when the bus was in motion as
when it was standing at the curb.
According to officials of the bus
company and radio men interested
in the tests from a scientific angle,
some refinements will be made, and
experiments continued until desir-
ed results at varying speeds are
obtained.

And treat his neighbor on the square,

But push and pull and boost and boom
And use up all the standing room
