THE RICHMOND PALLADIUM AND SUN-TELEGRAM FRIDAY, FEB. 7, 1919.

PACKERS GAVE TO CAMPAIGN FUNDS, EVIDENCESIIOWS Vecdcr Testifies That Swift and Company Gave to Two Congressmen. "WASHINGTON, Feb. 7. Swift and company contributed to the campaign fun (1b of Representative Rodenberg, of Illinois. In 1912, and of Representative Taggart, of Kansas, In 1915. Henry Veeder, counsel for Swift and company, testified during cross examination by Francis J. Ueney befort tbe Senate Agriculture committee.' Mr.

Veeder said these were the only cases ho knew of In which such contri

butions were made. Mr. Veeder said he understood Congressman Tagart voted for the Borland resolution, requiring an Investigation of the packing industry. Afraid of Constituents. "Mr. Taggart, like many other Congressmen, will vote that way because they are afraid of their constituents," responded Mr. Heney. Taggart later became an Investigator of the trade commission, but is no longer so employed, Mr. Heney said. Mr. Veeder charged that by Inserting a comma In the phrase, "general legislative and litigation . expenses, to which the Ave big packers contributed the Federal Trade Commission had tried to "prove the existence of a

beef trust. The witness said the tomma was not in the original papers, and that joint payments were not made for "general expenses" unless they were of a legal nature. FATHER AND SON PLANS COMPLETED All arrangements are completed for the mass meeting of fathers and sons in the Coliseum Sunday afternoon at

3 o'clock. Bertram C. Day, of Indl-j

anapolls, will speak. Over 300 tickets have been sold for the banquet Tuesday evening at the Y. M. C. A. John Graham, Clarence Kerlln and Oliver Nusbaum will sing. Will Romey is to act as toastmaster. "There will be a better understanding of the duties of citizenship when father and son cooperate in working out governmental problems," quotes the editor of the" Association Men" magazine. "The son will benefit by the ripe experience of the father, and the father will catch the progressive spirit of enthusiasm from the son. The country needs their team work." For this purpose and to draw closer together in business and Bocial relationship fathers and sons of America, every state, Hawaii and Canada are planning to join in making this a really significant week. Governors, mayors, ministers, churches, boy scouts and the Red Triangle organ

izations are all joining in making this week a national event to be long reaching in its purpose and results. A Red Triangle magazine says: "No national goal has been set. Each state is working out its own .plans," and the editor of this periodical writes: "Tenfold Is the need now as the world with sober realization faces the problems of readjustment. Not only will the soldiers of today be our leaders of tomorrow, but the father of another generation of ideals. So the fathers and sons may share in the exultations of newer crusades of peace" Whale Favorite Food in

Comedian Most Popular Actor With if Movie" Fans; War Stuff Vetoed

Comedy and no "war stuff'' is the present demand of "movie" patrons, according to Richmond motion picture managers. "People want something to make them laugh," declared one. "That Is easily proved by ' the popularity of Doug Fairbanks, Charlie Chaplin and Fatty Arbuckle." The next best thing in movies that are not strictly comedies is something that is "true to life," i the ; managers say. People want something that has plenty of heart Interest Most people want a picture that will make them "feel." Of course they like the "boiled shirt society ' stuff" and pretty - stars and handsome clothes but as a rule they like the good old western atmosphere where there Is more heart interest. An audience likes a mixture. ' A picture with a western hero who comes east and falls in love with the society girl and shows her"- what - a real man Is, - makes a hit. The girl furnishes the good looks and the pretty clothes and the western hero who is not up "on society ways" and "eastern duds" furnishes all the heart interest and true-to-life stuff that one could want. There is always - something to make the audience cry and something else to make it laugh. But as a rule the managers say people like the western atmosphere perhaps that is because in that atmosphere one Is more apt to find the simple, plain, honest folk, who do not think of etiquette,, and money marriages, and stock markets and the matters that usually bring the western hero to the front to rescue the poor

girl after her father has been ruined on the market. The "vamp" has a part because there must be trouble someplace, but five or six reels of flashing eyes and scornful laugh do not "take" very well. The "veto" has been handed to war pictures. People are sick and tired of war. They have had the real thing and it isn't pleasant ' They ' want something that Is far away from war, something, that will make them forget there ever was one. - - After all we have to hand It to the comedian. -

State Chairman Fullington was instrumental In securing the two speakers for the banquet here ,lt is said.

NO MORE TICKETS FOR GAME

WINNEPEG, Can., Feb 7. Wartime food conservation campaigns in the Canadian Northwest have changed the appetites of the people. Hundreds of tons of fish and game, once deemed unfit for food, are being consumed each month throughout the Dominion. Whale and flat-aish seem to lead as sea foods, while beaver and other furbearing animals, hitherto unthought of as table delicacies, likewise are Riven prominent places in the food lists. Whale meat, which failed to win recognition in Canada until last summer, is being sold by the ton from Vancouver to Halifax. The Dominion Food Board's success in the campaign to market Pacific flatfish is Indicated by the official estimate that 3,500,000 pounds have ben consumed in six months. Fishermen formerly threw away this fish. Until 1918 trappers retained only the pelts of beavers. The Minnesota campaign in behalf of beaver flesh as a food attracted attention in Manitoba and hotels in this privince added beaver meat ti their menus. Later someone discovered that chickens "went wild over beaveT" and resulting experiments indicated that a diet of beaver meat improved the egg-laying qualities of hens in cold weather. Wild rlco that grows in abundance In the Northern Lake districts also was ignored until American and Canadian commission men in Easter cities began making steady demands for it.

Canadian people started eating it aft

er it had gained popularity in hotels.

Odd outfits resembling sail boats have been constructed to thresh the

fields. '

EPISCOPAL CHURCH

TO RAISE FUND FOR WAR WORK

Funds to complete the work of the Church War Commission in connection with the demobilization of the

army and navy will be received Sun

day at the St Paul's Episcopal church. Literature was received three weeks

ago and envelopes have been distribut

ed and will be turned in Sunday.

Each parish was apportioned according to its membership and the apportionment for the St Paul's parish is $25. The parish will contribute more than that, It was announced. The following announcement was made by Bishop William Lawrence, chairman of the War Commission of the Episcopal church: "Money for chaplain service and for the War Commission's women's work is required in the largest amounts. To maintain the chaplains' discretionary allowances, and to supply the necessary equipment for the 269 Episcopal chaplains still in the service, the Commission needs $40,000. The women's work, which has been carried on so effectively through the Girls' Friendly Society, that the War Camp Community Service left the field entirely to the Commission's agencies, requires $60,000. "The Army and Navy Council of the Brotherhood of St. Andrew, which has maintained personal contact with 60,000 men of the church in the service through civilian personnel and groups of personal workers in the rank?, needs $30,000 to continue its work. Other agencies of the Commission requiring-funds in varying amounts are the Church Periodical Club, which has kept the men in the service in touch with the church through tbe dissemin

ation of literature, the Holy Trinity Church, Paris, where a war-time assistant has been kept by the Commission; the Seamen's Church Institute, andn the war work of the Diocesan Commissions." . . Canadian Trading Post Just Hears War Is Over

EDMONTON Alberta, Feb. 7.

There will be no premature peace celebration at Fort McPherson, Canada, seventy miles south of the Arctic Ocean, for Fort McPherson will not

know that the war is over until January 26 or there abouts. The news will reach this trading post in the semi-annual arctic mail which left Fort McMurray, proposed terminal of the Alberta Great Wat

erways railway, by dog team on De

cember 1. The news is included in 250 pounds of mail carried . by two sledges, pulled by ten dogs each and driven by veteran "mishers." The distance is 1,500 miles as the crow flies, but considerably longer over the frozen Athabasca and Mackenzie rivers. The hardened drivers will rest a Weew at Fort McPherson, then begin the long trek back to civilization. The territory traversed includes' the great barrens deep under snow that begins falling In September. The barrens are known for blizzards which sweep from the forzen sea across unobstructed leauges of snow-covered and uninhabited wildnerness.
