Are Morris and Armour
Forerunning a Great
Packing Merge?
By EDWARD PERCY HOWARD
Washington, D. C. Nov. 26. Per
sona who have listened to the woes of
the poor meat packers nearly broke
their jaws laughing when J. Odgen
Armour swooped down on the capi
tal accompained by counsel and ex
perts, loaded with books and papers,
to lay seige to the Department of
Justice with a view to getting a rul
ing in favor of a great meat merger
representing assets valued at more
than $500,000,000.
Just how the meat barons propose
to square the application with the
persistent insistence that the more
business they do the less profit they
make, has not been disclosed. It is
known, however, that the first stage
of the battle for supremacy is a pro
posed merger of Armour Co. and
Morris & Co. Indeed, report has it
that even a closer combine Is pro
jected with Attorney General Daugh
erty. Daugherty passed upon the Lack-
awanna and Midvale steel consolida
tions, declaring they would not vio
late the anti-trust laws, but unfortu
nately for the steel group, the Fed
eral Trade Commission kicked over
the basket and spilled the beans.
Seemingly so far as the Armour
outfit la concerned, the closer con
trol of meat and prices is none of
the public's business. Indeed, the only
persons in Washington who "knew
nothing at all about the deal" were
Mr. Armour and his Vice-President,
Arthur Meeker, who came to the na
tional capital "to see his daughter."
Counsel and experts evidently were
brought along by Mr. Armour to see
that the great food purveyor is serv
ed nothing but chuck steak so persis
tently urged for consumption as the
most desirable of cnts when the pub
lie dares to protest against rising
meat prices.
A line up of Armour and Morris
would give them a dominant posi
tion over Swift, Wilson and Cudahy.
While the capitalization of Armour
and Morris foots up to only $190,-

And after everything was said and
done it happened just as it always
does in the story book, and Dellora
is going to marry Lester in the spring
and be happy ever after. When Mrs.
John G. Gates died she left the en
ormous Gates fortune of $38,000,000
to Dellora Angell, who was just a
sweet little girl in St. Charles, 111.
Delorra's father, R. F. Angell, was
made administrator, '
While Dellora was in school at St.
Charles she had a sweetheart whose
name was Lester Norris. Money or no
money, Lester was wild about her,
but papa Angell said Dellora must
have her chance. So he took her away
and she saw people, and she saw
many people, and several times it
was said she had become engaged to
some notable or other.
But Lester knew the girl behind
the gold and Dellora knew and when
she had met everybody and learned
a lot about men she was certain she
was right in the first place and there
never could be any body hut Lester
whose father is the village under
taker. Now Dellora is 20 and her en
gagement to Lester announced. Photo
shows Miss Dellora and her fiancee,
Lester Morris, 21, budding artist.

703,400 and Swift, Wilson and Cudahy
combination has cr.pital of $204,128,
600, the assets of the former are giv
en as $57141,513, whereas the assets
of poor Swift, Wilson and Cudahy are
only $525,765,944, scarcely enough to
struggle along with.
It must be a great hardship to
be in the packing industry. Poor
Swift, it will be recalled in 1919,
told the world there was a loss of
70 cents on every head of cattle he
handled. If the farmers had pro
duced more animals, no one knows
what would have happened.
In 1921, however, live cattle iost
$67.63, proceeds from beef were $75.
32, the returns from by products were
$8.51, but even then there was only a
profit of $1.13 on each animal. Just
by what system of hocus pocus meat
profits continuously decline, meat con
sumption continously increases and
meat supply invariably is adequate,
and yet meat prices are perpetually
tilted skyward does not appear.
Evidently if all the figures -are
true, another merger will mean the
public will have nothing to eat but
cow's horns at $5 a pound, and the
unfortunate packers will be starving
to death in the streets of Chicago.
The farmer, of course, will be de
lighted with the proposed merger. It
will mean that the closer combine
will voluntarily offer him more for
beef on the hoof mebbe.

OF
25,000 Disabled Ex-Ser-vice
Men in Hospitals
After Four Years.
Every Veteran Needing
Help
Gets Individual
Attention.
When on November 11 the world
halted to observe the fourth anniver
sary of Armistice Day, and hte Ameri
can Red Cross inaugurated its Annual
Roll Call for the enrollment of the
1923 membership, the people of the
United States could well pause to
think of the unparalleled contribution
to the cause of peace made by our
Army and Navy in the war. The glory
of it is a common tradition; but the
wounds of war remain. They are not
healed in a day, in year, nor in four
years. And on Armistice Day there
were under treatment in Govern
ment hospitals over 25,000 ex-service
men, broken physically by wounds,
exposure, nervous strain and exhaus
tion incident to their service in the
war.
The Government without stint is
undertaking to furnish these disabled
men with the compensation and med
ical care to which they are entitled
yet their especial care is a duty of the
Red Cross. Why? Because the Gov
ernment cannot handle the cases of
ex-service men individually; it must
.handle' these men in bulk under a
standardized policy. The Govern
ment has neither the authority, the
funds or the equipment for working
out the problem of the individual man.
There is where the American Red
Cross finds its greatest field for ser

vice, aiding through its very active
Chapters in reaching the disabled man
with immediate practical help, assis
ting his family while his claim is
emerging from the process of adjust
ment, furnishing articles of comfort,
cash to tide over the difficult periods,
the friendly touch of personal en
couragement, helpful recreation and
worry-dispelling amusement. It is the
warm hand of sympathy and under
standing which the American Red
Cross extends to the majority of these
disabled ex-service men, some of them
friendless in the whirl of life, thou
sands of them with wives and child
ren dependent upon them, and hund
reds of them frequently helpless in
the face of grim necessity.
J.S7J Chapters Aiding Veterans
In this work, upon whose accom
plishment the American Red Cross is
urging a record-breaking enrollment
in the Roll Call which opened Ar
mistice Day and closes with Thanks-
giving Day 2,079 Chaptera in all
parts of the country are engaged,
this ia 350 more than were working
for ex-service men last year when
approximately $10,000,000 was ex
pended by the National Organisation
and the Chaptera working together
In harmonious unity.
For the current fiscal year National
Headquarters approximated $3,030,
692.90, an increase of $365,560.84 over
the amount spent for the work among
ex-service men in the year ended
June 30 last. Since it is estimated
that the Chaptera will expend close
to $7,000,000 from their own funds.
the grand total of Red Cross expendi
tures for this single work is expect
ed again to reach the $10,000,000 mark
by June 30. 1923.
Hospital and District Office Work
During the fiscal year a total of
over 1,000 persons, paid and volun
teer, has been engaged in Red Cross
duty in hospitals or district "offices of
the U. S. Veterans Bureau. An aver
age of 8,000 new cases requires de
finite and particular attention each
month. The demand for Chapter
made articles for hospital patients is
constant.
During last year Service Claims
and Information Service at National
Headquarters handled 37.200 compen
sation and insurance claims, 24,560
allotment and allowance cases, and 9,
700 miscellaneous claims. Since Feb
ruary, 1919, it haa disposed of 64,,
174 allotment checks payable to vet,
crans which the Post Office Depart
ment reported undeliverable.
The Chapter is the unit of the Red
Cross organization which is access
ible to every disabled veteran or his
family. Between July 1, 1921, and
June 30, 1922, the Chapters had re
ported 1,665,079 instances of service
to ex-service men and their depen
dents, at a cost estimated from re
ports now at hand of more than $5,
340,000.
The basis of this far-reaching work
of the Red Cross is the individual
needs of the disabled veteran to the
end that he may obtain his rights un
der the law, that his especial wants
may be immediately supplied, that
his own family's situation may be
rendered happy and cheerful, and
that their outlook for the future
may viaualize incentives for inde
pendent and fruitful effort.

University of Oregon Eugene Nov.
28-Oregon will be primed for the
hardest fight of the season when the
Webfooters go into battle array a
gainst the University of Washington
eleven in Seattle, Thanksgiving Day,
according to Coach Shy Huntington
who during the past week put the
Oregon men through lone, hard
nights of practice in preparation for
tne contest
The players are rounding into late
season form, according to the coach,
and by virtue of their past two vic
tories have the winning psychology.
Furthermore, they are in condition
for the first time this Season and
have developed the machine-like pre
cision which comes only when the
fundamentala of gridiron tactics
have been thoroughly mastered.
Several star members of the eleven
which trounced the Oregon Aggies
have been on the hospital list since
that game but Tfrainer Bill Hayward
expects to have them in shape within
the next few days. "Cogs" Campbell,
210 pound tackle, has been ill in bed
for the past week and Coach Hunt
ington expresses some apprehension
as to his condition. George King,
star halfback, is suffering with a
sprained hip and Quarterback Chap
man's back is badly skinned and lime
bi'.rned. However, with the possible
exception of Campbell all men are
expected to be in fighting trim when
the team leaves for Seattle Tuesday.
Line Coach Spellman has Reid, who
has made his letter this year, and
Gooding, a new man this season, who
has been shownig unusual develop

position if Campbell is unable to

a damaging one. Vic Bracher, a pro

taken to Seattle as a substitute end.

halfbacks, who have been erratic so
far this fall because of injuries are
rounding into shape in splendid style.
These big fellows will probably alter

their playing is expected to be a fea

up the season against Multnomah
and played a game which was a re
velation to followers of coast foot
ball. The Webfooters beat the club
men decisively although they were
sadly outdnped before the contest
started. The team on that day was
in much the same condition and spirit
as Huntington expects it to be a

with the winning spirit, composed of
strong men, in good condition and
out to win.
The Oregon coaching stnff is not
underrating the Washington team.

Turkey Red Production

cent in Morrow county's production

In 1919 five per cent of the wheat

dominating variety. Two years later
the percentage was raised to 55.
This increase resulted from de
