LARGE PACKING PLANT HERE IS FARMERS' NEED

Industry Would Meet Demand for Broadening Scope of Live Stock Market. By WILLIAM R. SANBORN. There seems to be an insistent demand that the Richmond livestock market be broadened out, and the Bphere of its Influence widened. And this Is no reflection on its present usefulness, In fact to the contrary. Richmond should be looked upon as a livestock center, with a wide local radius of action and effect, because of the great number of cattle, veals and hogs that are being continually produced In this prosperous agricultural district. This much ' is generally conceded. It is also the experience of those who are regular patrons of the Glen Miller yards that they average out better, year in and year out, than their neighbors who follow the will-o'-the-wisp of "shopping round" and takine

the shrink, freight and brokerage

marges upon their own shoulders. Then there is always the "culling out," the division of the shipment into grades and the further fact that the man on the farm is a long ways from the stock yards scales. In Richmond he gets a flat price, sees the stock weighed, gets every odd cent the purchase is .worth, gets his check at the moment and has shed responsibility, as a duck sheds rain. That is the real condition and those are the facts as to the home market the Richmond market, gentlemen, if you please. The Loss on 92 Calves. In Monday's Palladium we told in detail the prices paid for ninety-two calves, a solid car load bought in Rich- . mond on Saturday last, and headed out for Pittsburg that night. We saw a statement of sale of these same veals Thursday morning and what do you suppose happened? On top of the labor of buying, loading, the straw for bedding, etc., the Richmond yards received $107 less in cash than they paid for that shipment. This was partly owing to a low market on Tuesday at Pittsburg, and because the grading did not admit paying the same price for the whole load as it ran. This is the combination the individual shipper has always to meet, including the shrink, according to distance and time in transit, which is often extended unnaturally by delays because of heavy travel or through accident. Some men who have tried out the Dayton market are vigorously com- ; batant over the fact that hogs brought into tho Dayton yards by truck haulage are penalized six pounds right off the bat. That isn't the case at Richmond and this Is among several reasons why many Ohio stock raisers wish Richmond yard quotations sent out regularly. We ourselves have had more than fifty inquiries why this isn't done within the last few days. A Good Packing Plant Needed. The fact is, and this point cannot be controverted, Richmond should have at least one large, broadguage, modern packing plant, operating every day in the year. It would be worth thousands to the local farmers, and be of benefit to those at greater distance. Such a plant would be of

great benefit, as a whole, to a very '

large constituency. Let us take another concrete example of a .shipment of livestock within a norrow distance. Dayton, so far as distance for shipment is concerned, is "just across the street' for Richmond, but all the same it is an expensive street to cross to get action in the Dayton yards. Two cars of steers totalling forty-three head were shipped from Richmond to Dayton within a week with the following results, Mr. Farmer: The freight, insurance, feedand brokerage costs on these two cars was exactly $135.23. Of that amount $15 per car was an arbitrary charge for insurance by the Dayton yards. This mom y is placed in an insurance fund, so that should a large fire ruin the yards and burn up the live stock at any time the stock owners who were damaged could get prompt pay for tho livestock burned in the pons. Now when you figure a shrink of thirty-eight pounds per head on fortythree steers, and put it at the low price o( 11 cents per pound, you find that $16 34 must be added to the $13523 previously noted, and that to get forty-three head of average steers from Richmond to Dayton and over the scales has cost you $151.57. And what about it, do you ask? Well, there is a moral here, pointing to the need for development of our home market. Richmond "is no mean city;" it is a good placo to live and in which to do business. It is a going and growing concern, good people, and it is our duty to help in every line of mutual benefit and progress. Suppose you livestock growers and shippers think things over a little and see what you can do to help in the lino of our suggestions.

(By Associated Press PARIS, March 28. Cooks at the hotel where the hundreds of Americans connected with the peace conference are amazed at the appetites of the Americans. The American breakfast upset all calculations in the French hotel accustomed to supplying guests with rolls and coffee as an early morning meal. Wild calls for ham and eggs, beefsteaks, chops, oatmeal and hot cakes surprised the French cooks who, after weeks of catering to the hungry Americans, have not become reconciled to the American breakfast menu. The American fondness for hors d'oeuvres also caused consternation. Great dishes of beet pickle, potato salad, sardines, cold slaw and other relishes served as a preliminary to the conventional French dinner, disappear so rapidly that it has been necessary to employ many additional cooks' to prepare delicacies of this sort. The Americans help themselves so freely to this initial course that they frequently have little appetite for the foup, fish and other dishes which follow. As the hotel kitchen can draw on army supplies for its food, the Americans have many delicacies not available generally in Paris cafes. Ices, ice cream and pastry made with real sugar are offered to the peace delegation. In most Paris hotels and cafes saccharine is used for such purposes, and even for sweetening coffee. The hotel where the Americans stay also has an abundance of white flour and genuine white bread. Elsewhere in Paris the bread is dark, and even the pastry, when available, is made from brown flour.

PLOWING DEMONSTRATION

Greensfork, Ind.

Recruiter Gives Two Reasons for Enlisting Sergeant Wright, of the local recruiting station, gives two reasons why men should enlist in the army. First, he says enlistment in the army gives a man plenty of healthy physical exercise; second, it will fit a man for a vocation. The army gives a man splendid opportunities to make some paying office, besides learning any trade he

may desire to take up, says Mr. i Wright. All this can be done while ; he is being paid by the government ' to train himself. Every branch is op-1 en for men from 18 to 40 years old. j Men who have been discharged can

enlist for one year, while men who have not yet been in the service can enlist for three years.

A plowing demonstration by a J. I. Case tractor, sold in this territory by William H. Dynes of Centerville, will be given on April 1 and 2 on the Clarence Brumfield farm, about one mile west of Centerville on the National road. The demonstration will be conducted by Mr. Dynes personally.

The making of stainless steel cutlery, which originated in England, was suspended during the war. The result is achieved by adding about 13 per cent of chromium.
