Complete returns from the Coun
ty on the Salvation Army War Fund
Campaign just ended are not in but
it is apparent from the reports al
ready in the hands of the Treasurer
that Pierce County has again arisen
to the occasion and considerably
over subscribed its allotment.
River Falls has again demon
strated that it is willing to do its
share in all war measures by over
subscribing its allotment t o the
Salvation War Fund. It is not alone
in financial matters that River Falls
has demonstrated that it is willing
to do its part in winning the war. It
has furnished more than its quota
of young men for the army, navy
and marines, it has sent a clsss of
young men to the front of which it
will always be proud; it has been
been active in Red Cross work and
has been among the favorably
mentioned cities of its class i n

Packers’ Profits
—Large or Small
Packers’ profits look big—
when the Federal Trade
Commission reports that four
of them earned $140,000,000
during the three war years.

this profit was earned on
total sales of over four and

This is the relation between profits
and sales:

Wisconsin. Under the direction of
Judge Knowles the citizens are car
ing for seven acres of sugar beets
on the outskirts of the city, the pro
ceeds of which are to be the prop
erty of the Red Cross. It may be
thought that the citizens might not
properly care for their crops but an
inspection of the sugar beet field
will demonstrate that they are in
excellent shape and that they have
been properly cared for and the
yield is estimated at from ten to
twelve tons to the acre. The beets
are contracted for sale at SIO.OO per
ton and a substantial sum should
be realized from their sale and the
sugar situation will be relieved to
the extent of seven acres of sugar
beets. During the past two weeks
the business men have responded
willing to every call made upon
thejn for workers in the harvest
fields and have undoubtedly been
the means of saving considerable

We do not say these things to

of our activities, as an exchange of

suggest to the brethren of the press
that they give publicity to any act
