WOOING WITH HAM AND— PETROGRAD, Aug. 21.—Instead of flowers and chocolate drops, young men in Petrograd, in these days of near famine, carry presents of butter and eggs to the young women whom they are “courting.” While the shop windows are full of candies and flowers, butter and eggs can be obtained only with great dif- ficulty. More than 125 Chinese women are attending American colleges. ‘Packers’ Profits Are Regulated The public should understand that the profits of the packers have Been limited by the Food Administration since November 1, 1917. For this pur- pose, the business of Swift & Company is now divided into three classes: Class 1 includes such products as beef, pork, mutton, oleomargarine and others that are essentially animal products. Profits are limited to 9 per cent of the capital employed in these departments, (including sur- plus and. borrowed money), er not to exceed two and a ha’i cents on each dollar of sales. Class 2 includes the soap, glue, fertilizer, and other departments more or less associated with the meat business. Many of these de- partments are in competition with outside businesses whose profits are not limited. Profits in this class are restricted to 15 per cent of the capital employed. Class 3 includes outside investments, such as those in stock yards, and the speration of packing plants in foreign countries. Profits in this class are not limited. Total profits for all departments together in 1918 will probably be between three and four per cent on an increased volume of sales. The restrictions absolutely guar- antee a reasonable relation between live stock prices and wholesale meat prices, because the packer’s profit can- not possibly average more than a fraction of a cent per pound of product. Since the profits on meat (Class 1) are running only about 2 cents on each dollar of sales, we have to depend on the profits from soap, glue, fertilizer (Class 2, also limited) and other depart- ments, (Class 3) to obtain reasonable earnings on capital. Swift & Company is conducting its business so as to come within these limitations. Swift & Company, U.S A.
