The public Is being warned by the
War Loan and Savings Organisation
umiwst dishonest brokers who offer
to purchsse LIBerty Honda and un
paid coupons in exchange for worth
less nnd untried stocks. Some bro
kers nre willing to buy these bonds
Miid pug cash, but in man Instances
ihe discount is so great (hat the sale,
If made, would be at a great sacri
fice. Offers to lend money on Lib
city Honds are frequently made, but
In many Instances the rate of Inter
est, though made to look reasonable
at a casual glance, would eat up the
prlix in the course or time ana
Imvp nothing for the patriotic In
ventor In 'Government securities, and
all for the "shark" who preys on the
ncccHtity of the patriotic citizen for
ready cash.
The oGvernment recognizee the
need fr a market for Liberty Honds.
It si ho recognizes the fact that In
Home inntances misfortune has over
taken the one who had made ah ln
Mitrutut in good faith and that he
if nit convert his holdings Into cash
for his tin mediate needs. For these
perrons the Government desires the
bondholder to know that Liberty
Bonds hare a" well defined market
Milne nnd that prices are quoted
daily In financial centers. In most
cm unu titles there are reputable
dtitlers who will pay the market
puce Ufs a small commission. The
'batiks know the ruling prices and
tlif y will gladly give the public the
E.arket quotation.
Headers are askfd, to get the
n.uiies and addresses of all persons
aii1 ri :iipanles offering speculative
or doubtful stocks and securities,
raitlcu'arly If in exchange for Lib
erty Honda or War Savings Stamps,
with roplcB of 'their "literature."

IT fs generally known that the livestock 6upply varies
from day to day, and that prices, fluctuate in conse
quence. It is not so generally understood that the retail
demand for fresh meat vanes tremendously also, and
that, in consequence, the price obtained by Armour and
Company fluctuates, too.
When fresh meat is finished
at the plants It Is shipped to
Armour branch houses located
In more than 400 centers of
consumption. And. this meat
Is shipped unsold. The branch
house manager receives with It
a memorandum of what it cost
to produco the meat. It is a
simple matter then for him to
.determine what he must seek
to get for it If he Is to show a
profit. And, he must sell It In
the open market, In direct com
petition' with other vpackers'
branch houses, local abattoirs,
and so forth. Also, he must
. face the uncertainties of
weather, heavy receipts of fish
and fowl aad, often, unexpected
and unusual circumstances.
- Under the heading of 'Un
usual circumstances" for in
stance, would come the recent
epidemic of Spanish Influenza.
Statistics gathered by Armour
and Company show th: n hlle
the epidemic was at Its height
fresh meat purchases the coun
try over fell off no less than
25 per cent. -
' A sudden wave of intense
heat; a severe blizzard which
blocks roads and makes trans
portation difficult; heavy re
ceipts of tlsh or game; local
killed meats coming on the
Markets in small communities
all or any of these factors
have a marked effect on the de
mand for fresh meats.
Branch house managers
must because storage facili
ties demand it dispose of
their stock eaqh week so far as
possible. This often necessi
tates selling below cost.
Thus, If statistics be con
sulted. It will be found that the
selling: price of Armour and
Company's fresh meats paral
lels the price of livestock and
Is constantly further affected
by the conditions mentioned.
With these facts in view, fair
minded readers must compre
hend that it Is not possible for
Armour and Company to fix tha
price ot meats.

REVENUES ARE REQUIRED
NIGH COSTS HAVE INCREASED OPERATING EXPENSES
Since the European war began there has been a steady increase in the price
of nearly everything we use. There has not been a corresponding increase in tel.
ephone rates.
In order to meet the high cost of telephone operation, a revenue in just pro
portion to the expense must be obtained.
The necessity for more telephone revenue is easily understood.
The cost of telephone operation has steadily advanced both because of the
increased cost of material to the telephone company and the increased living ex
penses of employees.
The consumer has realized the necessity of paying more for rent; for food,
for clothing and for transportation. The telephone industry has been affected by
the same conditions which have produced higher prices in all of the necessities of
life.
If this Company Is to continue to furnish telephone service to the
pubUc It must obtain such rates as will produce a revenue sufficient to cover
the cost of providing the service
