The Price of Pork Chops and Bacon Here are reasons why the fine; fresh pork tenderloins and pork chops, or savory ham, or crinkly bacon, which you enjoy for break fast, cost much more per pound than the market quotation on live hogs which you read in the newspaper: An average hog weighs 220 pounds. Of this, only 70 per cent (154 pounds) is meat and lard. So, when we pay 15 / a pound for live hogs, we are really paying more than 21/ a pound for the meat which we will get from these animals, even after taking into account the value of the by-products. But people show a preference for only one-third of the whole—the pork chops, fancy bacon, and choice cuts from juicy hams. v This means that when we are sell ing Premium bacon at 4316/ per pound wholesale and Premium hams at 30/, there are other parts for which we get as low as 6/ or 8/ per pound. The net result is an average profit to us of less than 1/ a pound. The choice cuts are higner because of a demand for them. Another thing: Only 35 pounds of the entire hog—or about 1/6 th—is usually marketed at once. The rest must be pickled, cured, or smoked. This takes months, and adds to the costs which must be met.

Church Has Novel Safety Valve for Disciples of Unrest Most radicals, especially of the I. W. W., Anarchist and Bolshevik variety are noted for their con tempt of churches. On the edge of New York’s Latin Quarter — Greenwich Village— is an Epis copal church, however, that is a Mecca each Sunday night for the radicals who make their home in the Village along with embryo sculptors and literati. This des pite the fact that the Episcopal church, thru its nation-wide cam paign, to arouse its communi cants to a realizing sense of the great world tasks confronting them as a result of the world war. is raising a sum in excess of $42,- 000,000, a goodly portion of which will be spent in combatting Bol shevism, I. W. W.ism and all other elements of social disorder. Oddly enough, the Church of the Ascension which is a Sunday evening favorite of the disciples of unrest, is a church associated in the popular mind with wealth, society, and ultra-conservatism. It’s pastor is the Rev. Percy Stick ney Grant. It is not the usual Sunday evening Episcopal service, however, which packs the Church of the Assumption to its capacity. It is the Public Forum. Speakers of every class and shade of opinion spoke there dur ing the current year, including ex-President Taft, Col. Raymond Robbins, Catherine Breshkhovsky. Jerome Davis, Norman Angell and Gov. Alfred E. Smith, of New York. When speakers finish the cosmopolitan audience sends up its written questions, and when these have been answered, anyone in the audience is invited to step to the platform and speak four minutes on the subject of the ev ening. As long as the government of the United States is not attacked and there is no profanity, these orators, many of long “soap box” experience, are allowed to say practically what they please. Us ually some more conservative and better educated speakers follow extreme radicals and shoot holes in their defective reasoning and conclusions. He’d Paid a Fine.

But whoever makes a remark of this kind fails to understand some basic economic principles and particularly the principle which governs financial panics. A panic is not possible when there is an under-production, when the demand is far in excess of the supply. A panic is only possible when there is an over-production, when goods are piling up in the ware houses and constantly depreciat ing with no apparent possibility in sight of disposing of them for even a fraction of their real value. Factories, mills, contractors, ev erywhere thruout these United States are fighting to make pro duction meet deijiand. There is hardly a factory or mill or con tractor in the whole land that is not swamped with work and also making a profit despite the high wages- and high prices of raw material. What chance is there of making producers frightened and pessi mistic about future demand under conditions like these? No, there’s no chance right now for a reduction of prices by means of a panic. The high cost of liv ing, if it is to be reduced, will have to be brought down by some other method. Treasurer’s Notice on Request for Tax Deed.
