13 Dollars
13 Cents
When Swift & Company
paid, say, 13 dollars per hun
dredweight for live beef cattle
last year, the profit was only
13 cents! In other words, if we
had paid $13.13, we would have
made no profit.
Or, if we had received a
quarter of a cent per pound less
for dressed beef we would have
made no profit
It is doubtful whether any
other business is run on so close
a margin of profit.
This is bringing the producer
and the consumer pretty close
together which should be the
object of any industry turning
raw material into a useful form.
This remarkable showing is due to
enormous volume, perfected facilities
(packing plants strategically located,
branch houses, refrigerator cars, etc.),
and an army of men and women
chosen and trained to do their special
work.
This, and many other points of
interest, are found in the Swift &
Company Year Book for 1919, just
published which is brought out for the
public as well as for the 25,000 Swift
& Company shareholders.
The Year Book also represents the
packer's side of the Federal Trade
Commission investigation, upon which
Congress is asked1 to base action
against the industry.
Many who have never heard the
packer's side are sending for the Year
Book.

Hard at Flrtt to Realize That the
Carnage of Four Dreadful Years
Had Ended Huns Defeated
but Unrepentant.
With a silence like that which fol
lows the mighty crash of a great or
gan, tho grent war enme suddenly to
an end. No longer do the weary sol
diers nt listening posts strain their
cars through long night watches; star
shells have ceased to burst and flatno
over No Man's land; cannons have
cooled; machine guns utter no sound;
the exchange of all mnuncr of deadly
missiles has stopped. At last peace,
which for four slow, dreadful years
has seemed afar off like a mirage, has
come. The thousand and one activi
ties of battle, intense to tho last ounce
of possible human effort, are relaxed.
Ships now cross the ocean In safety;
smoke from thousands of ammunition
plants no longer darkens the sky;
tired workers return once more to
their homes; armies are demobilizing;
reconstruction of devastated homes
and farms and factories Is contem
plated; tho dreadful military debauch
has consumed Itself; the world draws
u great sigh of exhaustion and relief;
the conflict Is ended.
In all history no message ever sped
so gladly nor so fast us the few words
flashed through the air, and under
occaiu, and over lnnd wires, until
around the whole world and to Its ut
termost accessible parts the news was
cnrrled. What wonder thnt all civiliza
tion gave vent to a frenzy of joy al
most barbaric, that men shouted nnd
women wept; nnd little children wit
nessed an event which threescore
years and ten hence they will relate to
other wide-eyed children. In our Joy
let us not forget those millions of fa
thers whoso voices refused to cheer,
and those mothers and wives and
sweethearts whose eyes were dry, be
cause their hearts were bowed down
with a sorrow no victory can ever com
pensate. The Huns censed only when physi
cally exhausted; when their ammuni
tion was spent; when tho war had
reached their own borders; when they
no longer possessed the ability to mur
der the defenseless, to gas the brave.
Their regret Is that they fulled, but
not one slnglo word of penitence for
tho harm they have done, the sorrow
they have caused. Instead they think
only of their bellies nnd demand, not
supplicnte, the food they Have so wan
tonly destroyed for years; they whine
lest the very cars they stole from
France nnd Belgium be returned to
their rightful owners. They have been
beaten In what wns for nearly four
years an unequal struggle, but for any
word which has yet to come out of
Germany they are the same unregen
orate Huns who, casting aside nil the
obligations of n civilized nation,
marched Into Belgium In August, 1014.

Believe It or Notl
Friends of S. P. Lockbrldee. former
state senator, nnd James I. Nelson,
both of Greencastlc, arc telling a story
resardlnK the strnnce notions of linirs
on their farms last summer. Mr. Lock-
bridge went to his farm west of Green
castle and on arriving nt a field In
which were some fnt hogs he saw
the animals Jumping Into the nlr. Ho
Investigated and found them after big,
yellow-striped grasshoppers.
The same story Is told of Mr. Nelson,
except thnt his hogs were so wild over
the grasshoppers that he had to re
move them to nnother field where the
provender wns not so plentiful, tln or
der to prevent the hogs from running
off the fat faster than ho could put It
on by heavy feeding.
The grasshoppers were as largo as'
a man's thumb nnd were In such quan
tities that the hogs by exerting them
selves could catch enough to miiko
their efforts "worth while." Indian

Fine Pearl Necklaces,
Of 80 necklaces which have been
made from the magnificent collection
of pearls contributed to the Ited Cross
from nil parts of the British empire,
two are of considerable Interest.
One of them Is composed almost en
tirely of the line collection of pearls
sent from Egypt ns a result of tho
Ited Cross appeals, and tho other Is a
specially beautiful necklace of pearls
of the strnw-eoldred tone which Is ho
much sought after by buyers. The
necklnces are not of uniform size;
they vnry In length, In color and, of
course, In value. Hut nil of them nro
of grent beauty, for they consist of tho
best pearls from many famous neck
lnces, as well as from less well-known
ones, matched by the chief experts In

The World Does Move.
Tho wnr has made many changes In
world conditions. None perhaps Is
more p!ctures(uo than whnt bus hap

which Nebuchadnezzar once ruled.
This year's harvest tells the story.
While not busy fighting the Turk
and his Teutonic associates, the Brit
ish found time to dig out a hundred
ancient Irrigation ditches and to bring
Into cultivation 320,000 ucres. They
have also given to Bagdad electric
