Who Benefits By High Prices? You feel that retail meat prices are too high. Your retailer says he has to pay higher prices to the packers. Swift & Company prove that out of every dollar the retailer pays to the packers for meat, 2 cents is for packers’ profit, 13 cents is for operating expenses, and 85 cents goes to the stock raiser; and that the prices of live stock and meat move up and down together. The live-stock raiser points to rising costs of raising live stock. Labor reminds us that higher wages must go hand in hand with the new cost of living. No one, apparently, is responsible. No one, apparently, is benefited by higher prices and higher income. We are all living on a high priced scale. One trouble is, that the number of dollars has multiplied faster than the quan tity of goods, so that each dollar buys less than formerly. Swift & Company, U. S. A.

THE WAUWATOSA NEWS IN MTOVOP TRENT wgfch Old Consigtio Castle in Trent. By L.-OYD ALLEN, Special Staff Correspondent. (Copyright, 1919, by Western Newspaper Union.) TRENT, In the upper valley of the Adige, has just been re stored to Italy, and at the peace conference the final pact between the nations that fought Germany will undoubtedly give Trent to the Italian nation for all time. Leaving Padua early in the morn ing in one of the powerful automobiles of the Italian supreme command, in the first party of newspaper men to visit these lands reclaimed from Aus tria, I arrived ia Trent by way of Verona after a five-hour ride, during which we passed through the wrecked villages tha. mark the old mountain battle fronts of the Austrian aud Ital ian armies. Along the fine rock roadways that run along the Adige river, a swift flowing moutain stream, a small line of refugees was plodding along, on foot for the most part, returning to home steads deserted during more than two years of war. Just a few miles north of Verona the first sight, of war’s destruction was the little wrecked village of Mar eo, for two years under shell fire. As we passed through the place the evi dences of battle were still ample. Aus trian trench helmets, clips of car tridges and discarded trench spades were to be seen scattered among the piles of stone and timber of wrecked homes. The beautifully frescoed vil lage church was nothing but a shell of walls. On the roadv ay leading up to Marco hundreds of Austro-Hungarian prison ers were busy repairing the roadbeds. Some wore their very ornamental dress overcoats lavish in the display of knotted braid and fur. Towns of the Trentino. Trent in itself is a rather inconsid erable town. It had a war-time pop ulation of some 25,000 persons, a large majority of whom were Italians, we were told. In peace times the popula tion is around 40,000. But in tho whole province of Trentino there are more than half a million people, aud it is the province, as well as the town, that Italy fought for at the cost of 460,000 men killed aud nearly a million wounded. Back of the Italian demand for the Trentino is a sentimental reason, and a practical commercial reason. For the sentimental and national side first, Italy points out, through her biggest statesmen, generals and propagandists, that 420,000 of the 600,000 persons liv ing in the Trentino are Italians speak ing the Italian language. Trent as well as the smaller towns in the Trentino, such as Rovereto, Ala, Arco, Levico and Perglne, are filled with buildings of Italian design, decorated with Italian art and using the Italian language in the schools and offices. We passed through several of these towns. The people on the streets were a3 Italian as the street crowds of Padua, Verona and Vincenza, cities of the Venetian plain through which we passed in the earlier stages of our trip. Signs, decades old, on the buildings '■f the Trentino were in Italian, adver tising the wares certain Italian mer chants were trying to sell. The practical reasons that Italy has for keeping her tricolor flying from the mountain cities of the TTenGnu are numerous and vital. Every Available Inch Tilled First of all the Trentino is a very productive region where vineyards and grain fields flourish on both sides of the Adige, producing large quantities o? foods. It cun be said truthfully that every available inch of -land in this section is in a state of cultivation. To an American farmer the intense method of soil tilling would prove a revelation. Only through centuries of careful work with hoe and plow has it been possible to create the garden that ex tends from Verona, where the Adige river strikes the Venetian plain, to the impassable mountain valleys many miles away where the absolute absence of soil forbids any attempt at farm ing. The fields on cither side of the riv er are broken into small lots, thou sands being as small as a city block; many are much smaller in order to completely fill a segment of rock-lock ed earth. On these plots, that have been leveled with infinite care, the farmer of the Trentino grows grain, garden truck, grapes, and often other trult. The grapevines are kept pruned to about four and a half feet high for the main stem, which grows to the thickness of a man’s wrist, while the tendrils are trained onto sticks, or in many cases to trees that are kept pruned down to a thick stump six or seven feet high with small branches half an inch in thickness protruding in a sheaf from the stump. Ancient Consiglio Castle. During the middle ages Trent was a typical fortified city crowned with an old feudal castle. Built in 1490, this stronghold, Castle Consiglio, has come down to the present generation In a beautiful state of preservation. While the Austrians held Trent the place was used as a kind of town jail. Ceasare Battisti, native of Trent, an ardent pro-Italian wt \J Uuu the nerve to enlist in the Italian army against Austria, was shot in the courtyard of the castle, and Is today the town and the Italian nation’s martyr. Stored in the wonderful old castle were 80,000 captured Austrian rifles. Piles of gas masks, trench tools, mur derous trench knives and other odds and ends of fighting man’s equipment were stacked in several of the large rooms. In one of th“ main corridors was a typical Austrian torture machine. It consisted of two rings, the first about nine inches from tiie floor and the second about four feet above ground. The practice was to fasten a prison er’s ankles to the lower ring by means of a piece of rope, while the unfortu nate n.an’s hands were tied behind him through the upper ring. This threw all the prisoners’ weight on the wrists and ankles. Usually a man fainted after several hours. Inspection of the old Consiglio cas tle revealed how the war machine of the sixteenth century—for the castle itself was a fort —had been made to serve the purposes of the twentieth century war lords. In the highest room of the place, a circular chamber of the tallest tower, was all th ‘t remained of a German wireless < ‘fit. The operators bad made thei selves comfortable In the damp old place by putting storm win dows in the loopholes that were orig inally cut for the convenience of cross bow men. To get to the tower one has to pac* through a frescoed courtyard whe.e men were hanged centuries ago. About five or six feet from the old gallows, a double affair, runs a sheltered gal lery from which the dukes and their courtiers, sheltered from the weather, could witness the execution. Some of the public squares In the city of Trent have fine old buildings in Italian architecture, decorated from ground to roof with gorgeous frescoes, the coloring of which is still vivid.
