Soldiers who have taken out gov ernment insurance will not be de prived of the advantage of this pro tection when -they return to private life. Tey will be able to convert their war time insurance into ordinary old line insurance on terms that are ex tremely advantageous to the Insured The conversion may be made by de grees at the convenience of the in dividual. The point to be kept in mind in this connection is that the soldier must elect at once Just what he wishes to do with his insurance The privilege of making the transfer will expire In four months. The best thing to do is to decide immediately what4ie wishes to do, and make bis election without delay.

' , Meetings of town boards are at the best, often farcical, but the best that wo have heard of in a long, lonn while In the way of an uttempt to Inveigle the city fathers to do the absurd was staged over at Scottsbluff last week when the barbers of the town, or a part of them drafted a proposed ordinance making it man datory for the shops to be closed during specified hours and regulat ing the hours that the tradesmen could work, and introduced the same for the approval and passage of the city council. Evidently there has been a squabble among the tonsorial artists of that place in regards to the hours of opening and closing and failing to gain their point a part of them decided to enlist the aid of the council and force the dissenting ones to be good. After reading and due consideration the council suggested that it might accommodate the in stigators if it was allowed the mak ing it a misdemeanor for the barbers to charge more than 15 cents per shave and two bits for hair cut. We'll wager the barbers abandon their pet measure. F. A.

Swift & Company in the regulated departments earned 7.57 per cent on capital"" employed and 2-04 cents per dollar of sales, out of which had to be paid interest on borrowed money and taxes. Here is, how these earnings affect you. . Live-Stock Rawer Swift & Company killed 14,948,000 head of livestock,, which weighed alive, 4,971,500,000 pounds. Swift & Company made a profit ot only a fraction of a cent per pound liveweight. Consumer ' The sales of our meat departments were 4,012,579,000 pounds on which our earnings were less than H cent per pound. The per capita consumption of meat in the United States is given as 170 pounds. If a consumer purchased only' Swift & Company's products he would contribute only about 78 cents a year, or VA cents a week as profit to the company. Swift & Company, U.S.A. m li ;J: r Ate m mm mi i
