Only About Half
the Steer is Beef
Lire Weight 1200 pound
100
Dressed Weight 672 pounds of Beef
56
When Swift & Company buys
a steer weighing 1200 pounds,
only about 672 pounds goes to
market as beef; the other 528
pounds consists of hide, fats,
other by-products, and waste.
When the packer pays 15 cents a
pound for a steer, he sells the meat to
the retailer for about 24 cents. But
the packer gets only about 6 cents a
pound for the other 528 pounds.
This means that the packer gets
about 16 cents a pound for all the
products from a steer for which he
pays 15 cents.
The difference of 1 cent per pound
covers the cost of dressing, preparation
of by-products, freight on beef to all
parts of the United States, operation of
distributing houses, and leaves a net
profit of only about of a cent per
pound on all dressed beef sold.
Large volume of business and utiliza
tion of parts that were formerly wasted,
make this achievement possible.

Omaha, who after brief talk, read
the foloWlOf message from Mr. Ken
nady
"The legislature ot its next regular
eeelOll ihotlld make an adeiiuaie ap
propriation, or authorise direct
leVJF for war purposes. In lieu of
that counties and rities throughout
the state might be authorized to
create funds for such purposes, for

In the act; the proceeds of appropri
ations or levies made by county or
Cltf authorities to be expended by
county and city officials. Several
other states have made appropriations.
"In all branches of war work the
need for money for expenses will con
stantly Increase.
"Ample provision should be made
for carrying on the work of the state
and county councils of defense, and
for conducting the Red Cross, liberty
bond, war savings, thrift and other
campaigns. Then there are many lo
cal expenses In connection with the
food and fuel administrations which
should be absorbed by the several
communities.
"Up to this time, these expenses
have been met largely by voluntary
contributions from patriotic citizens.
In that way, the same people contrib
ute over and over again, and sooner
Or later their capacity to give will be

opportunity to help along those lines. J.
All our people should contribute and
co-operate, and their interest in all
war activities would thereby be In
creased. "There are other obligations which
we should be prepared to meet
promptly and cheerfully. Young
men have gone to the front, leaving
dependent families behind them. In
most instanced provision has been
made for them. Circumstances
change, however, slcktleeH comes
earning capacity is reduced, children
are born and bring with them addi
tional exjK'nses; and by and by some
of the soldiers will come home to be
cared for. Nebraska certainly can
not afford to fall behind other states
in meeting these conditions It will
be a great relief for the men at the
front to know that their state and
their communities stand solidly be
hind them and their families in any
and every emergency. Soldiers'
families should be made to feel that
i tis a privilege for us to give, and
an honor for them to receive, such as
sistance. We who stay at home
should be glad to Bhare in the honor
and the glory which will come to our
country when the war 1b won.
"If the convention should adopt
resolutions on this subject, a commit
tee might be appointed to act with
other committees, which may here
after be named by other organiza
tions, to confer with the legislature.
This would be a direct method of
gathering and presenting to the mem
bersti much necessary information. In
the meantime, public sentiment
should be aroused to the necessity
for legislative action."

The president of the United States
has appointe.d Thursday, May 30, as
a day of prayer. At this time when

Christian Scientist should strive to
gain the deep spiritual import of Mrs.
Kddy's "Prayer for Country und
Church'" (Christian Science vs. Pen
theism, peg 14). Mrs. Eddy has
pointed out that "prayer mci.ns that
we desire to w. Ik and will walk in
the light so far as we receive It, even
though with bleeding footsteps" and
that "the highest prayer Is not one of
faith merely; It is demonstration."
