The farmer wants to get a high price for cattle. The packer stands between these conflicting demands, and finds it im possible to completely satisfy both. The packer has no control over the prices of live stock or meat, and the most that can be expected of him is that he keep the difference between the two as low as possible. He does this successfully by converting animals into meat and distributing the meat at a minimum of expense, and at a profit too small to be noticeable in the farmer's returns for live stock or in the meat bill of the consumer.

GAMP ZONE "DT SECRETARY OF WAR BAKER SAYS ENACTMENT WILL HELP PROTECT SOLDIERS. 1 j j I TWENTY-FIVE MILE ZONE Gov. Pleasant Announces He Will Back Bill With Every Possible As sistance as a War Measure and Hope6 Legislature Will Pass It. Baton Rouge.— Secretary of War Baker has written Governor Pleasant saying he has learned that a bill will be introduced at the approaching session of the Louisiana General Assembly, the ob ject of which is to prohibit through out the war the sale of intoxicants or eipirituous, malt or vinous liquors, or medicated bitters capable of produc ing intoxication within twenty-five miles of Camp Beauregard. Secretary Baker says the enactment of such a bill into law now would be very help ful to the War Department in further ing its program to protect the sol diers from the ill effects of liquors. Governor Pleasant announces he will back this bill with every possible assistance as a war measure, and that he hopes the Legislature will pass it unanimously. Secretary Baker's letter reads: "It has been brought to my atten tion that a bill will be introduced at the coming session of the General As sembly of Louisiana, the object of which is to prevent and prohibit, throughout the period in which the United States may be engaged in war, the sale, barter, exchange or other traffic of, or in spirituous, malt or vin ous liquors, or medicated bitters capa ble of producing intoxication, within twenty-five miles of Camp Beaure gard. "An examination of the provisions of the proposed law leads me to the conclusion that it would be very help ful to the War Department in further ing its program to protect the mem bers of the military forces from the deleterious consequences of the use of intoxicating liquor. "You will appreciate the difficulties confronting the President in the mat ter of making regulations having a nation-wide score, which will at the same time adequately protect our sol diers in this regard, and yet not un duly interfere with the operation of the state or local law upon the ques tion of the sale and gift of liquor. When a state or community of its own accord passes legislation upon this subject it may well afford a more adequate protection than the general regulations applicable throughout the country; and when it does so, It great ly lightens the burden upon the fed eral authorities, civil and military, of the maintenance of the efficiency of the army." j ' The Roseiand Auxiliary, American Red Cross, has shipped the following articles to New Orleans: Abdominal bandages, 168; 24 bed shirts, 170 sur gical dressings, 65 T. bandages, 13 pair socks, 6 sweaters and one pair wristlets.
