Hie Flow of Meat
Two-thirds of the live stock in the
United States has to be raised in
the West
One-half of the consumers of meat
live in the East
In other words, most of the live
stock is one or two thousand miles
distant from most of the people who
need it in the form of food.
Fifty years ago, when live stock was
raised close to every consuming cen
ter, the country butcher could handle
the job after a fashion.
But the job got too big.
Now millions of animals have to be
moved hundreds of miles to millions of
people. Somewhere on the way they
have to be turned into meat.
The packers solved the problem.
They set up plants where the "live
haul" and the "meat haul" were in
the right balance. They built up
distributing systemsrefrigerator cars,
refrigerating plants, branch houses.
They saved time, money and meat
everywhere. The stockraiser bene
fited in better markets and higher
prices; the consumer, in better meat
and lower prices.
As the country grew, the packers
had to grow, or break down. Because
of its .present size and efficiency,

Paring every executive estimate to

A Sad Home Coming.
Riley Juday, one of the Morrow

seventeen or eighteen months at the

Saturday morning, in answer to a tel

announcing the serious illness Of his

another message came, stating that
.Mrs. Allyn had passed away at about
8:00 a. m., and when Mr. Joday
reached his destination about 4:00
o'clock in the afternoon, mother wns

and was rejoicing that in a day or
so, he and his wife could go on to
Walla Walla and see the good old

a sad home-coming for the soldier

Walla Wralla during the past winter
and suffered an attack' of influenza,
from the effects of which she never
fully recovered, and this was no

death. She was a very excellent
woman and had man$ friends at

years and was well known.
Regular Council Meeting.
Aside from allowing a few bills
against the city, no business of any
particular importance was transacted
at the regular council meeting on
Monday evening. After some wait

finance committee got busy with the
bills and the mayor called for reports
from committees which were not

street improvements and other minor
matters was engaged in and it was

WHY PAY EXCESS PRICES FOR REPAIR WORK?
"We have adopted the system of the Ford Motor Co.
in doing all repair, work on Ford cars at a contract price.
The advantage is: yon know at once the cost of the
work. These prices were compiled by the Ford Motor
Co. and are considerably cheaper than if the work was
done at $1.00 per hour labor charge.
Bring your car in, we tell you beforehand what the
cost will be.
All of our work absolutely guaranteed to be first caa,
