CHICAGO, Jan. 10.-Wilson & Co.,
Inc, Chicago, one of the major pack
ing companies, reports net earnings,
after all charges, including provision
for Federal income taxes, of $2,507,-
528 for its fiscal year ended October
80, according to the annual report
to stockholders today by Edward Foss
Wilson, president.
Sales for the year showed an in
crease Of II per cent, amounting to
$2S2.746,155, as against 253,226. .103,
which reflects an increase in tonnage
as well as in prices.
"The results for the year." Mr..
Wilson declared. reflect the unusual
operating conditions encountered in
the packing business during the year" :"
He added that in the fiscal year just
closed, the basic hourly wage rate
received by employees was raised to
the highest it has ever been.
Holds Strong Position.
llC UdldISc SllCCV d<S Vi oCbOUCl
80 shows total assets of $90,0l1 ,035
and reflects the strong financial posi-
ton of the company at the end of
its fiscal year. Total current assets
amounts to s43,55s,2ol, of which
1888 ,989 was in cash.
Commenting upon operations for
the last year, Mr.. Wilson declared
that extreme changes in supply and
demand had occurred. Live stock
supplies were faily large during the
first half of the year and the demand
for meat and by-products trended
upward.
He added: During the summer
months, however, receipts of live
stock, especially hogs and finished
cattle. decreased materially, result
ing in a sharp advance In the cost
of better grades of live stock and
the price of meat Much misleading
publicity was given to these advances,
leaving the impression with con-
sumers that all meat prices were
extremely high.
Expenses up Sharply.
ALTHOUGH 1t is true that cost of
we'll finished live stock and the prices
of meats of best quality reached a
relatively high level. the bulk of
supplies continued to sell at prices
not greatly different from those pre-
vailing during the preceding two
years. Despite the efforts of the
live stock industry to get these facts
before the consuming public. wave
of consumer assistance developed
which had a pronounced effect on
the demand for all meats. The price
trend was reversed in late summer
and early fall and during the month
of October severe price declines Gre
ated heavy losses, even though the
inventories of pork and lard were
the lowest in the company's history"
Wilson pointed out that operating
costs, including taxes and labor. had
increased during the year and that it
was naturally difficult to quickly ad-
just operatings to these changed con-
ditions. During the year the company
embarked upon an expanded promo
tional campaign calling for increased
schedules of advertising in news
papers, magazines and billboards.

By HARLEY L. LUTZ.

PRINCETON, N. j., Jan. 10
N.AN.A.)-The core Of Government
finance is the budget, which is the
program of governmental activities,
represented by the vArious appropria-
tions, and the plan OF financing their
cost, represented by the taxation and
other revenue measures The budget
is balanced when the expenditures to
be made under 1t are covered by the
receipts from taxation and other cur
rent sources. It is not balanced, in
the strict sense. whenever the total
on one side differs from that on the
other side. BY custom and conven-
ton. however. the expression "unbal-
anced budget" is always associated
with an excess OF expenditures rather
than with an excess of receipts. The
reason for this conventional usage has
never been better expressed than it
was by Mr.. Micawber in his WE'LL
known piece of advice to David Cop
perfield:
Annual income twenty pounds, an
nual expenditures nineteen nineteen
six, result happiness. Annual income
twenty pounds, annual expenditure
twenty pounds ought and six, result
misery"
Two schools Of thought are encoun-
tered on the subject Of proper bud
getary policy. One prefers Mr..
Micawber's precept. while the other
apparently prefers the example which
he set in his own private affairs. As
all readers Of David Copperf1eld will
recall. Mr.. Micawber's own budget was
always sadly out of balance, despite
his clear grasp Of basic principles.
If We were to attach labels to these
groups which differ so greatly over
correct budget policy, We might call
the first one the conservative school
and the other the new thought"
school.
Facts Must Be Faced.
The members Of the conservative
budgetary group believe that budgetary
balance. in the sense that receipts
must at least equal expenditures, is
fundamental. This is the pay-as-you-
60 or cash-and- carry attitude toward
the Government finances. It does not
always signify a mean and stingy
public policy. but it does require that
the facts of finance must be faced and
understood.
The new thought" doctrine is not
new, lin the sense that deficit financing

MRS. JOHN Al. WRIGHT DIES
FROM BREATHING GAS

An unusual amount of sympathy
and interest was manifested last
week in the case of the two unfor-
tunate ladies who lay unconscious
50 long from breathing gas, one
finally dying at the end of four
days, at noon on Saturday. Mrs.
Matte Wright, wife Of John A.
Wright of Clayton, and her moth
er Mrs. F. j. Smith of Harrington,
formerly residing near Moortown,
stopped at the residence of a rela-
tive in Wilmington Tuesday to
spend the night. On retiring one
of them turned the gas down low
and blew it out. The family on
rising in the morning smelt the
odor of gas and on knocking on
the door could get no response.
The door was burst open to find
them both unconscious and in an
extremely critical condition. All
that medical skill could do for
them was done; at the end of the
second day Mrs. Smith showed
signs of recovery and continued to
improve in her physical condition,
but Mrs. Wright grew worse and
died as before stated, on Saturday.
The remains were brought to the
church in Clayton, the funeral ser
vices occurring yesterday after
noon attended to the Odd Fellows
Cemetery, Smyrna, by a large
procession In addition to those
of her own family the citizens of
Clayton feel they have sustained
a loss in the death of Mrs. Wright.

BLACKBIRD APPOQUINIMINK
PASTOR SURPRISED

The pastor and family at Black
bird, Appoqinimink charge, were
surprised on last Friday evening
by the Union congregation, who
poured into the parsonage in such
great numbers that we hardly
knew how many of them were and
whence they came. All the rooms
of the parsonage were filed. Cake
and lemonade were had in great
profusion. There were several
good organists and a large num-
ber of vocalists who rendered de-
lightful music, while others enjoy
ed the occasion in chatting and in
dulging in merry laughter. AS
the hour pleasantly passed away
the company diminished until all
were gone, leaving pastor and fam
lily in the blissful consciousness
that they were in the midst of
friends, and to appreciate the good
supply of provisions brought.
Among other members of the fam
lily, Lizzie" (the horse) was re
membered by bags of corn. While
this was a special occasion of the
kind, yet it is justice to say that
these people all along for the past
two years have shown their ap-
probation Of their pastor and fam
lily by sharing with them in the
good things with which they have
been blessed. With some excep-
tions they have kept the loft re
plentished with hay all the while,
and at present there is on hald a
good store for the time to come.
May God bless old Union and the
good people all over Appoquini-
