given a thorough cleaning, something
they've needed for years. Phooey,
how one used to hate to enter them!
But that is all changed now and Boil
says he is just getting started and
to watch our smoke" Another big
change, and one that is sure to meet
with popular approval and apprecia-
ton, is the order that the stations
will be open to the public evenings
hereafter until IL o'clock. 1t was al
ways considered a joke that the com
fort stations were closed for the day
at 6 o'clock, and not such joke
either, all things considered, but a
serious matter at times, and the sys-
tenn has been much condemned and
unfavorably commented upon.
And another thing. 1t is no longer
necessary for one entering the build
ing to carry fiashlight or lantern
to see their way about. The new boss
has installed lights, bright lights
everywhere, until our county building
inside no longer resembles a morgue
but has taken on a real honey and
inviting look. And to top it all off,
faithful old George Einsfeld is back
on the job as operator of the elevator.
Queer what changes death may
make, the car superintendent goes
out and George comes back.
But all in all, it is to hoped that
the changes around the court house
aren't case of just "a new broom
sweeps good" but that the good work
will keep up and even be improved
upon. The Press, however, knowing
Tom Boil as it does, has no fear of
a let down in the good work started,
and bespeaks a good return to the
taxpayers for the investment made
by him by the commissioners.

DECISION PERMITS
PACKERS TO SELL
VARIETY OF FOODS
Consent Decree of 1920 Mod
flied But Ban on Han
ding Meats land Other
Products at Retail Still
Stands.

Washington, D. c. (ILNS)-In a
decision by Justice Jennings Bailey
of the District of Columbia supreme
court, the packers consent decree OF
1920 was modified to permit the big
packers to handle vegetables, fruits
milk, coffee, tea, cereals, nuts and a
number of other unrelated lines" at
wholesale. They may not engage in
retail trade, however, the court re-
fusing them the right to sell meats
and other articles at retail on the
ground that it "would probably re-
suit in the almost complete annihil-
alton of the independent retail gro
GER, already a minority in volume of
business"

America, Patrick E. German, pres.
ident, has opposed modification of the
consent decree to permit the packers

as strongly opposed to any action by
the government which would have the
effect of legally permitting the pack
ers to operate retail meat markets ir
competition with retail dealers who
must purchase their supplies from the
packers.
Can Sell at Wholesale
Justice Bailey's decision gives the
packers the right to manufacture ano
sell at wholesale, but that portion OF
the decree which prohibits them from
owning stock in public stockyards
terminals and stockyard newspapers
was left intact.
In discussing the question of allow.
ing the packers to engage in the re-
tail trade, Justice Bailey said
The petitioners admit that if they
go into the retail business they must
buy out many now in business. They
will necessarily compete with other
retailers, now customers, and can by
elimination of statesmen and in other
ways, reduce the cost of their prod
ucts to their own retail stores. Even
if they should not go into the business
Of retailing, if they had the power to
do so, there is real danger of misuse
of that power"
Congress Favors Competition
He added: whether such complete
integration in merchandising from the
producer to the consumer would pro-
duce better conditions as whole is
an economic question which is not for
the court to decide.
''The policy of congress as shown
by the statutes enacted by it and as
interpreted by the supreme coutr is
to preserve and stimulate competi-
ton, and to permit the defendants to
engage lin the retailing of their own
products would, in my opinion, have
thf pposite result"

HYPOCRISY AND THE REDS

Once upon time the late Victor
Berger, who was a congressman, a
socialist and newspaper editor, sent
another socialist editor telegram
advising and urging support of p OIL
icy of war with Mexico. That was
back in 1914, with a World War on
the horizon. The socialist party stood
officially opposed to war, but this,
somehow, was different.
The soviets sent a delegation to
Geneva to make grand speeches about
disarmament, knowing the result in
advance. The soviets and their friends
constantly talk peace and disarma-
ment for the rest of the world.
Meanwhile the soviets have the
biggest army in the world, fully
equipped, always read, continually
hoped up with propaganda. Mean
while, also, the soviets, bossing the
red internationale like the errand boy
it is, propagandise the rest of the
world, foment rebellions, sow discord
and wait for "The Day."
Probably the world has had its hy-
pocrisy, certainly it has, since his
tory was written, had those who
thirsting for power, were willing to
take it over the dead bodies of their
fellowmen. Some hypocrites have got
into history undetected, some have
been only tardily detected and some
have been merely suspected.
Few have fooled so many as have
been fooled by the red butchers of
Russia, or for so long time.
The greatest mystery about all this
is why any American who believes in
the principles of his country should
ever be fooled by the red tyrants, OF
give them the aid and comfort that
is given them by so many apologists
in America, the while processing pro-
gressiveness. But then, look what
Houdini used to do!

S-HOUR SHIFT URGED
BY VIRGINIA OFFICIAL.

Richmond, va.--Three eight-hour
shifts in Virginia factories, instead
of the present 10-hour plan, is favor
ed by John Hopkins Hall, state COM
missioner of labor. The state official
estimates that approximately 10000
workers would be given jobs if all
full-time plants changed to eight
hours.
Most textile and knitting mills in
this state operate on 10 or 12-hour
basis, and many operate nights. Hall
said that the 1880 value of output of
each Virginia wage Garner employed
in plants and factories averaged
$5,033.

THE COURT HOUSE CLEANUP

These are cleanup" days in the
Butler county court house with ven-
geance. The new clerk of the board
of county commissioners and court
house superintendent, Tom Boil, i'm
mediately upon appointment to office,
jumped into the job with both feet,
renamed some of the former capable
janitors as his assistants, and the
way the dust, dirt and filth (accumu-
lated during the past six years. has
been flying is a caution. AS start
off Boil and his gang, with himself
leading, work Is hours on Sunday
and the result was quickly noted by
officials and other attaches in the
court house when entering the build
ing Monday morning. All were
agreeably surprised at the change to
cleanliness apparent everywhere
throughout the building. One of the
office assistants has since remarked:
THANK heavens we no longer need
to put on gloves to keep clean hands
every time we take a book from one
of the shelves" The Butler county
court house has long been noted for
its uncleanliness and untidiness.
Some time back member of the state
auditing department, while on a visit
here, was heard to remark that he
visits most all counties and that he
believed, with a possible one excep-
ton, Butler county had the dirtiest
court house in the state. And every
one who has had occasion to enter
our court house during the past four
or five years, and especially those
connected and whose duties took
them there every day, heartily agree
with the state official.

AVERAGE WAGE, INTEREST
ARE DIVIDENDS

The average wage per industrial
worker in 1929 was $1,318. The aver
age per industrial worker paid for
interest and dividends in the same
year was $825.
In 1880 there was relative cut in
wages. But the reports indicate that
interests and dividends as a whole
were in most cases equally good or
better than for 1929. The probabili-
ties are that the average paid for
interest and dividends per employed
worker in 1880 was we'll over 81 900.
This high rate of interest and divi-
dend payments would be especially
true in manufactured food, tobacco
and public utilities.
If there were need of a rapid ac-
cumulation of capital for industrial or
national use, as there is in Soviet
Russia, there might be some sense in
maintaining this ration. But the need
in this country is for an increase in
the purchasing power of the national
market-of the consumers. And since
the consumers constitute the bulk of
the workers, there is one logical meth
cd of increasing that purchasing
power. 1t is by increasing the wages.
But some New York bankers are
even now bowling for lower wages.

Fairbanks Miner Writes About Conditions in So-
 viet Gold Fields

Living and climatic conditions in the Siberian gold fields are describ- ed by John Hosler, formerly of Fairbanks, who is employed by the Soviet Government to instruct Rus sians in American mining methods. In a letter written last summer to friend and printed in the Fair banks News-MlneI, MT. Hosler says:
 T eat at the camps when my stomach doesn't say no but l sleep in the open unless it's too wet. In winter when we went on sledges it was easy to take small bed roll and a little grub along, but that isn't convenient on horse back, the mode of travel in sum- mer.
 Weather Like in Fairbanks
 The weather here is somewhat like that of Fairbanks, except that it gets hotter and violent thunder storms are more frequent We are in about the same latitude as Sow ard. Some of the electrical displays are startling.
 This country is simply crawling with bedbugs and I haven't estab- lished a resistance against them yet. The Russians seem to be im- mune, but they poison me. In win ter the cockroaches and bedougs and houseflies are ten times worse.
 Great Variety of Berries
 "The berries are getting ripe now and we are having our first fresh fruit in eight months. There is a great variety of wild berries but I don't think that the nicer kinds are as plentiful as in Alaska. So far, I have seen cranberries, hue kleberries, dewberries, red entrants
