TO THE YOUTH OF THE
WORLD
But I hope. I hope because
of the young. And to them I
now turn. To you, young men,
it has been given by a tragic
fate to see with your eyes and
hear with your ears what war
really is. Old men made it, but
you must wage it—with what
courage, with what generosity,
with what sacrifice, I well
know. If you return from this
ordeal, remember what it has
been. Do not listen to the
shouts of victory; do not snuff
the incense of applause. But
keep your inner vision fixed on
the facts you have faced. You
have seen battleships, bayonets
and guns, and you know them
for what they are, forms of
evil thought. Think other
thoughts, love other loves,
youth of England and of the
world! You have been through
hell and purgatory. Climb
now the rocky stair that leads
to the sacred mount. The guide
of traditien leaves you here.
Guide now yourselves and us!
Believe in the future, for none
but you can. Believe in what
is called the impossible, for it
waits the help of your hands
to show itself to be the inevit-
able. Of it and of all our
hopes, the old, the disillusion-
ed, the gross, the practitioners
of the world are the foes. Be
you the friends! Take up the
thought and give it shape in
act! You can and you alone.
It is for that you have suffer-
ed. It is for that you have
gained vision.—From “War
and the Way Out,” By G.
Lowes Dickinson.

Against
The Middle
(The Packer)
The consumer wants to pay a low
price for meat.
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
i that he keep the difference between
| the two as low as possible. He does
{ this successfully by converting animals
i 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.

i tions in Cattle were as follows:

The net profit was $1.29 per head, or
il about one-fourth of a cent per pound
filln of beef.
By what other method can the dif-
ference between cattle prices and beef
prices be made smaller, and how can
the conflicting demands of producer
and consumer be better satisfied ?
