(Official City, State and County Newspaper) Foreign Representatives SMALL, SPENCER, BREWER (Incorporated) CHICAGO NEWYORK BOSTON Livestock Prices In comments on the efficiency of the modern packing plant, one often hears the remark that they sell everything but the squeal, meaning thereby that the by-products form a considerable source of revenue for the packer. Based on this theory, the livestock producer should hope piously that the market for squeals goes up, for the packers claim that lack of market for livestock by-products has considerable to do with the prevailing low prices for animals on the hoof. ‘The history of the packing industry shows that in 1835 a Cincinnati firm offered to pay a small sum for the privilege of slaughtering hogs. Its profit came from the by-products theretofore considered unusable. In 1850 it was something of a sen- sation when Chicago packers an- nounced they were utilizing every part of the animal except its blood. Later uses were found for this and, in ac- tual fact, there was no part of the animal carcass or any product of the slaughterhouse which was unused. Only the squeal lacked commercial value. As refrigeration and scientific meth- ods came into the packing industry, most of the profits began to come from the by-products and finally packers wholesaled fresh meats at less than the prices paid for the live animals because the by-products were worth more than the cost of slaugh- tering and dressing. The current drop in commodity prices, however, has been particularly noticeable in the by-products of the packing industry and the result has been a further decrease in the prices paid for livestock. Like all other industries, the pack- ing plants have been given a thor- ough overhauling as to management and some economies have been made. ‘These, however, have not been suffi- cient to take up the slack and the cost of processing now represents a much larger percentage of the live- stock dollar than ever before, for the simple reason that livestock dollars are fewer. Commenting on the manner in which this situation affects the con- sumer, @ recent statement by Armour and Company said: “In the case of cattle, the by-prod- uct value, during 24 months, has fall- en from $17.20 per head to $5.80; the by-product value per head of sheep has fallen from $3.83 to $1.02; while the by-product value per head of hogs has fallen from 66 cents to 15 cents. Even with this steady downward trend, various by-products, such as glands for pharmaceutical purposes and some edible products like liver, have held their prices fairly well, while others have tumbled downward to where they have little or no value before processing; for example, such Products as beef casings, blood, and tankage. “With all classes of livestock the edible by-product prices have been mueh better sustained than the in- edible by-product prices. Of the many by-products from cattle, hides and oleo make up approximately 10% per cent of the live weight, while they of the ships flies the English flag, and not one flies the American. ‘This incidental bit of news is hardly surprising, considering the decline that the square-rigger has undergone in the last decade and a half; yet it does seem to mark, pretty clearly, the end of an epoch. For the Australian grain trade is the last real cruising ground of the full-rigged ship, and if ships of English and American regis- try are not to be found there they are not—with a handful of unimportant exceptions—to be found anywhere. And that fact sets one thinking on the vast store of specialized knowledge and specialized ability that has be- come obsolete in the last few years. The lore of the sailing ship, handed down from the days of the Phoeni- cians, has grown useless and out of date. Yachtsmen still cherish some of it, and these Finnish and Scandinavian sailors who have stuck to the Austra- lian grain trade have their share; but for the most part the old, painfully- acquired and once invaluable knowl- edge by which men were able to make vagrant winds carry the commerce of the world has become of no account— and, in a very few years, will have vanished utterly from the earth. It took many centuries to compile that knowledge, and it was done by the trial and error method, by men who paid with their lives if they failed to learn fast enough. If, at any time prior to a generation ago, it had sud- denly been lost, the world’s trade and communications would have been par- alyzed. It was one of the race’s most Priceless possessions. But now it is going fast, and the world will not miss it. For human progress does things in a strange way, sometimes. It can spend long ages Perfecting some tool and then, over- night, discard it entirely. Nothing endures except change. Loosening Credit Recent announcement that the fed- eral reserve banks would attempt to loosen the credit of the country by heavy purchases of government se- curities puzzled a good many of us. It was a little difficult for the average man to see how such activity on the Part of the big banking system would make it easier for the farmer or the business man to go to the bank and get a loan. Here is how the National City Bank of New York, one of the largest finan- cial institutions in the country, ex- Plains the matter: “A manifestation of strength in the bond market will be helpful not only to government but cor- Porate financing, thus providing the means for expenditures which will increase employment. In short, by placing funds in the money market, where business goes to finance its needs, it sup- plies funds in the manner most helpful to sound business revival, supplies it by an orderly process, assuring wide distribution, and avoids the dangers that attach to large issues of paper money. It is a careful and calculated meth- od, under more experienced con- trol, of overcoming the excessive deflation of credit and of encour- aging business confidence and en- terprise.” This seems to put the finger on one of the sorest spots in the present sit- uation. Credit is based on confidence and when the federal reserve banks restore confidence to the men who control credit the situation will im- Prove. It seems to bear out the answer made by the man in the street to the anti-hoarding campaign launched some time back by President Hoover. This was the simple statement that it was not the people who were hoard- ing money, it was those who had money to hoard.

Disappointing (The Hazen Star) Frank H. Hyland opened his cam- paign for nomination for governor in Hazen Tuesday night in the Hoodoo Theatre. Striving mightily to pre- serve an even tenor of neutrality, after declaring himself not ready to give a “keynote speech”; speaking “with malice and ill-will toward none,” Hy- land nevertheless left a definite feel- ing of disappointment with his ef- forts. Knowing him to be a man of reputation for candor, sincerity, per- sonality, and wit, his hearers expected much, and got little. Which may or may not have been the wish of Mr. Hyland. In this, his first appearance of the campaign, Hyland gave his history, some jokes, some of his creed of life, a vigorous praising of all other I. V. A. candidates, and then slipped a little by giving, in his verbal enthusiasm, what is bound to be one of his salient points: namely, the size of the state debt with the blame being placed on state-owned businesses. From all these things nothing else concrete was gleaned.

For a moment she thought she was going to faint and put a hand out to steady herself. Ernest Heath re peated what he had said. “Do you understand, Miss Car- ey?” he asked. “My wife is going to bring a suit naming you.” “But she can’t do that!” Susan protested wildly. “I don’t know just what it means but it’s all wrong.” “I thought I should tell you,” the man said doggedly. “This is all most disagreeable. It’s horrible but there seems nothing’I can do.” Susan drew her hand over her eyes, “But what have I to do with it?” she inquired bewildered. “I’ve done her no harm and I—I scarce _ ly know you.” m The man shrugged hopelessly. “All that doesn’t seem to matter,” he said. “What you and I must fe is what we're to do about “Do? But there's nothing I can do,” Susan told him, “except to go away.” “Even that,” Heath reminded her, “would not solve matters.

MORRIS FISHBEIN Editor, Journal of the American Medical Association At this season of the year measles is usually epidemic in several paris of the United States.

Seventy-five per cent of all deaths from measles occur in children under three years of age, and 90 per cent in children under five years of age. In fact, if a child contracts measles be- fore it is one year old, the chance of dying is 50 times greater than an at- tack of measles in a child between 5 and 15 years of age. ‘This rate of fatality gradually di- minishes from one year onwards, 50 that at two years the chance is 30 times greater, and between two and three years of age nine times greater than the chance of dying if measles is contracted at 10 years of age. ‘When measles appears in a com- munity, parents should be warned of the danger and told to be exceedingly careful about having their children come in contact with those with the disease.

She would be “that girl who was mixed up in an alienation suit.” It was all hideous! Her whole be ing revolted at the thought. Sud- denly Susan realized her employer was still speaking. She had almost forgotten him, so absorbed was she in this new, terrific problem. He wore the quiet, dogged air of a man who had gone over the ground many tinies before. “What she especially trades on 1s the night I drove you to the Ack- royds,” he told her. “She was angry then and I knew it, but I thought it of no importance.” “Surely she can’t think,” began Susan fiercely, “surely she must know you were only doing me a kindness such as you might have to any neighbor!” eee Tr spite of himself Ernest Heath smiled. She was so earnest in her simplicity. He must make her see. ’ “That's just it,” he said. “You weren't ‘just any neighbor.’ You're my secretary. That's the rub.” Susan flushed. “I see,” she mur- mured, She stared through the big window. “What do you want me to do?” she asked. “Nothing, at present," the man told her. “My lawyer is meeting Mrs, Heath this morning and I hope they may come to some sort of an agreement. I only wanted you to know in case the trouble broke soon.” Susan was very white. “I see,” she whispered again. Oh, it was all wild and absurd but knowing that did no particular good. The cloud hung over her just as it had. She felt branded. “Perhaps if I went to her myself, if I explained just how it hap- pened,” she said, grasping at a straw, Heath shook his head. “I'm sorry. It would only make matters worse. This,” be con- tinued, “this is very painful to me as it is to you. I appreciate your position but I seem to be powerless, There's only one thing I had thought of. If you don’t mind I should like to ask Mr. Waring’s ad- vice. He's had a great deal of ex- perience, He might be able to sug- Sest some way out of this.” Susan agreed hopelessly, Jack Waring might as well know. He would know anyhow later, Waring received the news with admirable calm. “You don’t seem surprised,” Heath commented dryly. ‘The younger man shrugged his shoulders with an oblique glance LLIOTT at Susan. “I know jealous wom- en,” he said gravely, “and Mise Carey is too pretty to go unno- ticed.” Susan refused to meet his eyes. “Perhaps if I talked to Mrs. Heath,” Waring suggested, drum- ming on the desk with his care- fully manicured fingers, Heath said, “My dear fellow! She likes you, of course, but I’m afraid you'll not get anywhere!*- “It isn’t a divorce she wants, then?” Waring asked. A caller presented himself in the outer office and Susan, scarcely knowing what she was doing, with- drew. Heath answered the other’s ques- tion. “No, that’s not it,” he said slowly. “I think what's happened is that she’s got herself into a blind rage at this girl and wants to shame her publicly.” His distaste at this open discus- sion of affairs so intimate was plain, “Not that we haven't spoken of divorce before this,” he sald. “Ruth finds my way of living exceedingly dull, In fact,” and here he sighed Wearily, “I've come myself to the decision that a divorce would be best for both of us.

It is only through the con: stant and accurate reporting of dis- ease that prevention is possible, It is important that every child with measles be kept in a separate room and isolated from contact with all other children until the disease has - passed and there is no longer any danger of infecting another child, All parents must be warned prompt- ly to guard their children against con- tracting measles by keeping them from contact with children who have the disease or from the brothers or sisters of the child who has the dis- ease. If a child five years of age or un- der develops fever, vomiting, running of the nose, and the typical measles eruption, it should be put to bed im- mediately, a physician should be called at once, and the child should be kept strictly isolated until the diagnosis is certain, or until the diagnosis is made certain that the condition is not measles, or until the child has recov- ered fully from its illness. 12 Heavenly bod; ly 14 Blow on the head. 15 Cover. 21Crack of a whip. 23 Tie. 26 Publicity. 27 One who eats sparingly. 29 Fillet. 30 Natural power 31 States of being renewed. 33 Blemish. 34 To incite. 35 Felt regret. .37 Not actual.
