The date and place of- meeting of the conference has not been communicated" to Amer ican officials, who regard the whole matter to be still in the form of a proposal. One method of preventing the fluctuations understood to be under discussion would be a proposal to avoid the payment of tho indemnity In the money of any ono country.

A LONG about this time of the year the JL. tire-dcalcr is a much called upon. man. Probably a dozen different "Agencies" for a dozen different tires arc hopefully epread before him. But when he Rets off by himself and starts to think he finds out that most so-called Agency Franchises arc hardly more than permission to invest his money ia this brand or that brand at his own risk. Consider now not what is said in be half of the U. S. Tire Sales anil Service Agreement but what it docs. Consider general conditions for the past year. And note everywhere that U.S. Tire dealers have been the least affected of all. Observe how generally the U. S. Tire dealer is respected. Not alone by Prices on all U. S. Tires and Tubes Reduced Nov. 10th. Ask your dealer. the public but by his local competitors, The U. S. Tire dealer always knows where he is at. Right now or in making his plans for 1922. He caxi always put his hands on the U. S. consistent merchandising policy. Where the U. S. Sales Frunehtse separates from the rest and asserts its prerogatives are in these things brings to the dealer's store the greatest and must loyal tire-audience anywhere. It sultforts the dealer with the most constructive and courageous publicly expressed policies today. It carries the prestige of the U. S. Royal Cord Tire and the "USCO" Tread. It is the most sought after Fran chise in the whole tiro trade. U. S. dealers will be the rank ing tirc-merchants ot" 1922.

He wanted to see a re tailer buy a short loin of beef and then watch the retailer sell the porter house and sirloin steaks from it over his counter. He thought this would make a good story. The head of the market tpek the reporter into the "cooler" where ho showed him a high c'.as side of beef. With "a wooden skewer he mat lend off the short' loin and said, "That is only 8 per cent of the weight of the whole side and it is sailing for four times as much as this piece (and ho marked oft the "'chuck,' which is about one-fourth of the side of beei). The wide variation in the wholesale price of various cuts from the same side of beef is csused largely by demand for the so-called choicer cuts. The others are, of course, just as wholesome. . It seems as though more people than ever are demanding choicer cuts, and their demand sets (he price If few people ask for tho forequarter cuts, the price of forequarters will automatically drop to a figure low enough to induce peoplj to buy because of cheapness. Even though certain cuts sell for relatively high prices, other cuts, due to lack of demand, sell so low that our profit from all sources over a period of five years averaged only a fraction of a cent a pound. It is competition butween consumers for the choice cuts that keeps prices for those cuts relatively high; an equalizing demand for all parts of the carcass would benefit producer, packer, retailer and consumer. Our average wholesale selling price of all products has fallen about 40 per cent since September 1920. Swift & Company, U. S. A. HERE IS THE LIST TO SELECT YOTTJR CHRISTMAS CAR from.
