Delicate Mechanism
Despite its scope Swift &
Company is a business of in
finite details, requiring infinite
attention.
Experienced men must know
livestock buying with a knowl
edge of weight, price, the amount
and quality of meat the live
animals will yield.
Each manufacturing operation must
be done with expert skill and scientific
precision. A highly perishable product
must be handled with speed and care,
to avoid loss.
Chemists, engineers, accountants,
and other specialists are required to
take care of our intricate problems.
Alert wisdom and judgment must
be used in getting stocks of goods into
the open channels of demand through
our four 'hundred branch houses.
Branch house .organizations must
show activity and energy to sell at the
market in the face of acute competi
tion from other large packers, and
h'undreds of small ones.
All these requirements of intelligence,
loyalty, devotion to the task, are met
in the personnel of Swift & Company.
Yet the profit is only a fraction of a cent
per pound with costs at minimum.
How can the workings of this deli
cate human mechanism be improved
upon?
Do you believe that Government
direction would add to our efficiency
or improve the service rendered the
producer and consumer?
Let us send you a Swift "Dollar".
It will interest you.

Americans In Paris, Released From tho
Horrors of Trenches, Somewhat
Astonish thd French. I
Not the Iwist of our prlUo In-tho
pcdltlonnry forco wns Its good behav
ior. For general morals wo were the
prize winners. But, of course, soldiers
In u nonprohtbltlon country will get
drunk now and then. One renson for
our prohibition vi;e Is the fnct thnt
ninny Amerlciuis linvo no moderation
lu their use of ulcohol, and that they
sometimes tend, wheu drunk, to tear
up the sidewalks, writes Will Irwin, In
the Saturday Evcilng Post.
l"our French pollu, who, lu lilseac
tlou from tho trenches took to liquor,
got a blissful and genial Jag, which ex
pressed Itself lu talkutlveness and lu
lllrtutlon. The American whooped It
up.
As two coyotes on a moonlight night
can give the Impression of a whole
wolf puck, so two drunken Americans
could give tho appearance of a drunk
en army, They might be surrounded
by fifty pollus, all half seas over fit
was the Americans whom one noticed.
This tendency brought Its most de
plorable effects In Paris. The cupltnl
of the world was not a leave center.
Nevertheless all sorts of commissions
and activities centered there; soldiers
wore constantly coming and going ou
military errands; moreover, though
Paris was olllclally barred, men never
theless got Paris leave by pull or ca
jolery. In spite of the provost mnrshal
and the military police, we uhvays had
the American drunk with us; aud
when present he always announced
himself. Tho French, who, as I have
said, grow merely genially expansive
with liquor, did not like this.
LEARNED MUCH IN FRANCE
Doughboys, Back In America,' Are Not
Quite the Same as When
They Left.
"The boy Just back from France Is
a mighty different chap from the lad
who went over there," says William
Howard Tuft, adding, with n laugh:
"He's learned a lot he didn't know be
fore. Take two Instances that came
to my uotlcei recently.
"Onu was the case of a doughboy
who before the war had been a hotel
clerk. On his return to .merlcn he
applied In New York for a place.
"'What references have you?' de
manded the manager.
" 'Been over in France a year, and
before that '
"Never mind tho 'before that,"'
said tho manager. 'If you've been In
France a year you know all about do
mestic work. I'll make you head
chambermuld.'
"The other one," continued Mr. Tuft,
"was quite different. He, too, .(had
come, back fr,om France, and he, too,
had learned n lot.
" 'Do you think you could ever learn
to love me?' he nsked tho girl of his
choice, and she answered:
" 'I don't know. Anyhow, you might
continue yrnir course of Instruction.
Gee! It's so different 1'"
Cause of the Querry.
As soon ns women have the. vote
and the league of nations becomes a
reality, says Dr. Anna Howard Shaw,
tslie Is going to be a "gay young girl."
As It Is, no one would suspect her of
being past seventy. And she likes to
tell stories on herself. This Is one
she told In Indlannpolls to a group
of friends:
"When I was In California recently,
folks kept coming up to me and' say
ing. 'How young you look, In most
surprised tones. Well, it began to
wear on inc. Why shouldn't I look
young? So when a young girl "came
up and said It for the 'ateenth time,
I said, 'So do you look young.'
"And then I learned the reason for
all tho surprise. The newspapers had
been told that I was In California In
'00 with Miss Anthony. It had some
how got twisted to read: 'Dr. Shaw
was ninety-six when she was hero
with Miss Anthony. That would have
iiinde me about 120 years old."
Caught at Last.
A father suld to his pretty daugh
ter one morning:
"What time did you send that young
Simpson home last night?"
"Oh," replied the girl, "I don't think
It was very late."
"It must linvo been close to mid
night !"
"Why, father?"
"Didn't you send Iilin out the back
door and hurry off Ui bed when you
heard me coming ln2J'
"Why, father, I had been In bed for
hours."
'"You heard me, then?"
"Yes, you woke me up."
"And you had been In bed for
hours?"
"Ur huh!"
"That certainly Is funny!"
"Why?"
"BccauFC when I went to light the
lump I nearly burned my hands off ou
the hot chimney." Youngstown Telegram.
No More Insects or Plant Diseases.
Now that plant quarantine No. 37 of
'the Agricultural depaitment Is In ef
fect, piohlhltlng the Importation of
plants without a permit, there will be
no more garden Insects or plant djs
enM'H. If theie arc It will the fault
of the federal horticultural hoard, for
lio Insects or diseases can enter now
except with the permission of the
bounl. Do not discard the sprayers
and Insecticides, however, ns they will
still bo useful to combat the old and
new troubles that are bound to appear,
Possibility That the Fair Sex Will
Carry Off Honors In Field of
Naval Architecture.
"The women who hnve stormed- tho
fortress of naval architecture huvo won
n place In what Is perhaps tho most
Interesting professions In the world,"
says Manchester Guardian. "Mr.
Chesterton tins commented on the odd
fact thut, while men have been
building houses from the beginning of,
time, they have not nchleved anything
like a perfect house, but the position
ns regtuds ships is 'still more curious.
Your house may not be a perfect house,
but, with proper precautions, y6u can
be sure of getting vOiat you planned
and of getting a house that will stand.
Kven now It Is far otherwise with
ships. Take the case of racing yachts.
Two yachts may be built on similar
plans by the same firm ; one will be a
tilumphnnt success, the other n rank
failure; no one seems to know why.
Big liners nre built nowadays In pairs
or triplets; yet nny senfnrlng'mun will
maintain that they are entirely distinct
lu every essential particular, and even
In the matter of speed there will al
most certainly be n difference. Stranger
than all Is the case of warships, which
seem to delight in puzzling their archi
tects. In the case of .one class of
splendid cruisers In our own navy rad
ical changes had to be made after trial
trips, and It Is pretty well known that
some designs hnve been far from, com
ing up to what was expected of them ;
yet nt this date It would have been
supposed, that experts could not be de
ceived. However, It may perhaps be
said that woman will find a natural
affinity for these little peculiarities."
REGULAR CYCLES OPTHOUGHT
Might Be Described as Periodical
Waves 'Passing Through and Agi
tating the Human Mind.
-
Just as wc find n mathematical rule
at many of the bodily movements, Just
so thought may be supposed to have
Its regular cycles. Such or such a
thought comes round periodically. In
Its turn. Accidental suggestions, how
ever, so far Interfere with the regular
cycles, that we may find them prac
tically beyond our power of recogni
tion. Take all this for what It Is
worth, but at any rate you will agree
that there arc certain particular
thoughts that do not como up onco n
day, nor.once a week', but that a year
would hardly go round without your
having them pass through your mind.
Here Is one which comes up at Inter
vals In this -way. Some one speaks of
It, and there Is an instant and eager
smile of assent in the listener or listen
ers. Yes, Indeed; they have often
been struck by it.
All at once a conviction flashes
through us that we have been in Clio
same precise circumstances as at the
present instant, once or many times be
fore. Oliver Wendell Holmes.
Origin of Japanese Language.
"The closest relation of tho Jap
uneso tongue Is with ancient Hebrew,
although, in some cases, words show
a great resemblance to Arable, which
conserves the more archaic features
of tho parent speech."
This conclusion has been reached by
Dr. Robert Armlstead Stewart of
Johns Hopkins university after an in
vestigation of the origin of tho Jap
anese language, according to tho Ja
pan society, for which he has prepared
a statement. Continuing, he says:
"In the course of the investigations
thero were established the mutations
that go far to proving tho original
unity for the Aryan and of tho Se
mitic speech and that explain the
points of correspondence noted be
tween Japanese and Indo-European.
Hence, It develops that primarily
through the Semitic, and secondarily
through tho Indo-European, Japanese
Is related to our English tongue a
fact that should conduce to quickened
Interest of the two peoples In one nil
other and lead to a better understanding."
Romance of Business.
Platinum worth ?ii,41.r,000 and
weighing 23,000 ounces was recently
brought Into this country. It traveled
from Russia as the personal baggage
of a Massachusetts business mnn,
who had undertaken on his own re
sponsibility to sccuro it for tho gov
ernment. To this task he gave over
a year of his time without enumera
tion, advanced his own funds, over
came an uncounted number of dan
gers, obstacles and hardships, and
sacrificed his health. A tragic ending
to tho story of commercial romnnco
is supplied by his death, four houra
nftcr his return, from exhaustion.
