of the Arras sector, which lies north of Albert, also has been intense.

Airmen Are Active.

There has been.great aerial activity on the American sector northwest of Toul and captain Jas. Normal Hall, well known as a flyer in the French and American armies, is reported missing after a battle in which he and two other Americans engaged four Germans. Two of the enemy a^- planes are believed to have been brought down, other Americans also have been meeting the enemy in the air along the line east of Si. Mihel and it is believed the Germans have gathered large forces in an attempt to wipe out the American fliers. There has been no infantry fighting ca any of the American sectors.

Except for fruitless patrol raids by the Austrians a:id limited artillery fire, there has/been no activity on the Italian front. Th« Austrians still withhold their attack and neither Vienna nor Berlin has uaid anything of it for the past several days.

Political Crisis Near.

A political crisis involving the security of the Lloyd George government has arisen in Great Britain over the letter written by General Maurice, formerly chief director of military operations, in which he questioned the \eracity of the premier and the chancellor of the exchequer. In the house of commons, a parliamentary tilt between Andrew Bonar Law, for the government, and former Premier Asquith resulted in the government's acceptance of a motion by Mr. Asquith that the house discuss the form of inquiry to be made into the statements of General Maurice.

The motion will be debated in the house Thursday and the government has decided to stand or fall on the vote tcken after the discussion. Tire government looks ui'op the motion as a vote of censure and has called its supporters to be in the house for a vote tomorrow.

Producer and Consumer

Against

The Middle

(.The Packer)

The consumer wants to pay a low price for meat. The farmer wants to get a high price for cattle.. The packer stands between these conflicting demands, and finds it impossible to completely s a i s y o

The packer has no control over the prices of live stock or meat, and the most that can be expected of him is that he keep the difference between the two as low as possible!. He does this successfully by converting animals into meat and distributing the meat at a minimum of expense, and at a profit too small to be noticeable in the farmer's returns for live stock or in the meat bill of the consumer.

Swift & Company's 1917 transactions in Cattle were as follows: Average Per Head

Sold meat to Retailer for .' $68.97 Sold By-products for 24.09

Total Receipts ..... $93.06 Paid to Cattle Raiser 84.45 Balance (not paid to Cattle Raiser) $8.61 Paid for labor and expenses at Packing House, Freight on Meat, and Cost of operating Branch distributing houses 7.33 Remaining in Packers' hands as returns on investment $ 1.29 The net profit was $1.29 per head, or about one-fourth of a cent per pound of beef.

By what other method can the difference between cattle prices and beef prices be made smaller,v and how can the conflicting demands of producer and consumer be better satisfied?
