Just at the time when Secretary McAdoo is raising express rates over their present high figures, because the government cannot make ends meet at any sum which has sufficed in the past, Postmaster General Burleson cuts the charges on certain telegraphic messages. But this is not all. He is consolidating the Western Union and the Postal systems; he is taking over the cables, long after any conceivable war need of doing so has obviously passed; and why? The more the eggs are scrambled the harder it will be-to restore the product to its constituent elements. Burleson pre- fers the socialistic state to that of private enterprise and self- help, which have accompanied every great civilization in the world. And he is bound that we shall yot get back to the regime of reason if he can by any chance prevent it. On this account, if for no other, we elected a republican congress none too soon. water with unpleasant. water every keep it up! e (e SANTA CLAUS BRINGS PEACE. As far as we can tell, the peace conference will be getting lined up about Christmas. You and I might have been born in any epoch. We might have been living in A. D. 1, and have seen the first Christmas. But we didn’t. We have at any rate the privilege of living in 1918, and geeing the greatest of all Christmases except one. We must celebrate it as such, And Christmas giving this year must be more than a perfunctory exercise, even though we combine discretion with liberality. Store clerks in Bemidji have as good a right as any to share in the rejoicings, and it is worse than churlish to spoil the season for any of them by making it unduly laborious. Let us get our shopping done at once, so that they may be free to celebrate. act on the and ‘bowels, ——0 PATIENTLY AWAITING THAT COAL. We noticed in a dispatch where Garfield, the national fuel director, said there is plenty of coaliand would be if properly used. Bemidji has practically no coal and now a dispatch from Crookston states the fuel situation there is'wretched, that many families have no coal at all. Just why such announcements are continually handed out by the fuel and other administra- tions is a mystery. It doesn’t add any to the “pleasant” feelings of the great American public. When it is known there is NOT sufficient coal to meet needs. 0 Cheer up! Might not be so worse after all. Just because the breweries have been closed is no sign one need have a parched throat. There are millions of barrels on tap, enough to last a long time. Then there is no restriction on the promis- cuous sale of booze, even in government banned territory. PR Speaking about lack of proper water facilities for the city, the insurance has_ been cancelled on a new brick garage in the Fifth ward, owing to utter lack of fire fighting facilities, no water being available for such purpose. The owner is sponsor for this statement. L e R We truly regret, along with “The young people of Be- midji,” the toboggan is not available. We lent our best efforts in that direction and it was certainly discouraging to be “gtepped on” when things got to going in good shape. i e i So the United States senate members are amazed at being ignored by the president in not being represented at the peace discussions. Well, who’s running the show? ¥y SR g We suggest that the presidential peace delegation remem- ber the warning of “Pledge Week,” this week, and “conserve food” while aboard that transport. SRRy RN According to newspaper comments the kings of allied nations won’t be the only autocrats interested in the peace proceedings.

As_soap -and_hot water Low Meat Prices Y, HighCattlePrices s SR get enough for his live stock; he raises less, and the packer gets less raw material. If the consumer has to pay too much for his meat, he eats’ less of it, and the packer finds his market decreased. The packer wants the producer to get enough to make live-stock raising profitable, and he wants the price of meat so low that everyone will eat it. Baut all he can do, and what he would have to do in any case to stay in busi- ness, is to keep down the cost ‘of pro- cessing the farmer’s stock into meat so that the consumer pays for the meat and by-products: only a little more than.the farmer gets for his-animals. Forexample,last year Swift & Company paid for its'cattle about ‘90 per cent of what it got for meat and by-products (such as hides, tallow, oils, etc.) If cattle from the farm were turned miraculously into meat in‘the hands of retailérs ‘(without going. through the ex- pense of dressing, shipping and market- ing), the farmer would get only’ about 11/ cents per pound more for his cattle, or consumers would pay only about 214 cents per pound less for their beef! Out of this cent or two per pound, Swift & Company pays for the operation of extensive plants, pays freight on-meats, operates refrigerator cars, maintains branch houses, and in most cases, de- livers to retailers all over the United States. The profit amounts to only a fraction of a cent,and a part of this profit goes to build more plants, to give better service, and to increase the com- pany’s usefulness to the country. % Swift & Company, U.
