You should have heard Mr. Sleicher, | friend of “wise conservatism,” tell about these horrors two nights ago while good Republicans listened, and Louis Wiley of the New York Times was heard to ask, “Can such things be? Whither are we drifting ?” as he pounded his fist on the tablé and al- most upset the champagne. nesota.

Mr. Sleicher told his awe-struck hearers that the North Dakota farm- ers had actually appropriated $19,000,- 000 to control the elevators in which the grain is stored. It does seem very dreadful when you realize how little the farmer has to do with the grain. He only takes care of the horses through the winter, ploughs the ground, harrows it, ferti- lizes the land, sows the seed, harvests the crop, threshes it, and delivers it at the railroad station. The whole country may ask with Mr, Wiley: “Whither are we drift- | ing?” when these North Dakota farm- | ers presume to take themselves so seriously and snatch the bread from the mouths of gentlemen accustomed to get profits after the farmers have done the work. “Oh! bolshevism, is thy sting ? “Oh! socialism, where is thy vic- tory ?” Secret and Neck Chain, imitation Wrist Watch ¥ with adjustable leather strap and buckle = 7 \’ b % 3 A Iy 5 7 and these Four lovely Rings.

Their motto is: “The other fellow has always beaten us and taken our money because his men worked united. .Now we will stick to- gether and change it.” EDITOR’S NOTE: The North Da- kota legislature did not appropriate $19,000,000 to control elevators, as the scared Mr. Sleicher is quoted as say- ing. A bond issue of only $5,000,000 was authorized to buy or erect eleva- tors and mills and to carry out the farmers’ desires in regard to packing plants and cold storage plants. But * the figure quoted is much nearer the truth (only multiplied by about 4) * than the anti-gang generally succeeds in getting. The bonds actually issued later, being expended for income-pro- ducing property, will not: constitute an addition to the net state debt. PACKERS. ARE PROSPEROUS The publication of the annual report of Wilson & Co., the last of the “Big Five” meat packers to announce its figures for 1918, gives the total sales of the five Chicago packers as running upward of $3,000,000,000 for the past half year. ! This is half a Liberty loan. Meas- ured against the steel trust, for the year 1917, the total volume of business done by all the United States steel companies for that year amounted to $1,683,962,652. g Gross sales of the five packers are reported by them as'follows: 'Armour, $861,000,000; Cudahy, $286,000,000; - Morris, $470,000,000; Swift, $1,200.- 000,000; Wilson, $400,000,000; total, $3,217,000,000. : 3 Total net profits of the five packers for the year, according to their an- nual reports, run something over $50,- 000,000 for the year 1918, as follows: Armour, $15,247,837.563; Cudahy, $3,- 376,808; Morris, $4,217,858.84; Swift (13 months), $21,167,277.44; Wilson, $7,631,635.21; total, $51,631,317.60.
