Ice Boxes on Wheels • Refrigerator cars for carrying meat are ice boxes traveling on wheels. Most people in America would have to go without fresh meat, or would have to pay more for what they could get, if it were not for these traveling ice boxes. Gustavus F. Swift, the first Swift in the packing industry, saw the need of these traveling ice boxes before others. He asked the railroads to build them. The railroads refused. They were equipped, and preferred to haul cattle rather than dressed beef. So Gustavus F. Swift had to make the cars himself. * The first one was a box car rigged up to hold ice. Now there are 7.000 Swift refrigerator cars. Each one is as fine an ice ! box as you have in your home. Day and night, fair weather and foul, through heat and cold, these 7,000 cars go rolling up and down the country, keeping meat just right, on its way to you. Thus another phase of Swift & Company’s activities has grown to meet a need no one else could or would supply, in way that matched Swift & Company ideas of being useful. When you see one of these Swift & Company cars in a train, or on a siding, you will be reminded of what is being done for you as the fruit of experience and a desire to serve. Swift & Company, U. S.

Hang It In the attic or upstairs room where there is a free cir culation of air. Profit by the lesson of 1017 and save enough seed corn each year to protect yourself if the next season’s crop fails to mature. Don’t get caught again without seed corn. Always save enough seed to last two years. Remember, the next corn crop may be a total or partial failure and you may not be able to save any good seed from it. It always pays to have good seed, corn to sell to your neighbors. 1# _ _» . . V . If your surplus Is not needed for seed It Is not wasted. It always hus a market value or nmy be fed to stock. If It Is needed as seed It will be worth ~ many times Its market value as grain. To save plenty of good seed corn Is always good business. It li patriotic. It Is our duty to ourselves, our com munity and our country. Crop reports indicate that, If con ditions between now and harvest time are favorable, tills year’s corn crop will be about normal. But, because of the serious seed corn situation last Spring, there is danger that some of tha corn may have been grown from imported seed and either will not mature before frost or will produce a yield Inferior in both quantity and quality. Because of killing frosts In Oc tober, the seed corn situation last Spring was so serious as to cause na tion-wide alarm. The 0. S. Depart ment of Agriculture, state officials, ag ricultural colleges, county agents, newspapers, bankers, business men and farmers were aroused. Campaigns were conducted to test seed corn and locate every good car of home grown seed. ' ns*. . ii i. . . __ _AI __ t..,l The result has been gratifying, but the expense must have reached Into the millions of dollars. In some locali ties it was necessary to Import seed Corn Ready to Hang up. String because the 1917 crop did not mature Contains From Twelve to Fif. »nd not sufficient seed corn of the 1810 teen Ears Each. crop has been saved. * This experience should prove n lesson to us. Never again should we be caught without, plenty of seed corn. In every normal year we should save plenty of seed. We should always save enough for our own use fdr two years and enough In addition to supply some neighbor who may not have any. We should always bear lb mind that the next corn crop may be a total or partial failure. Every ear of seed corn should be harvested before the severe fall freezes and stored where It will dry out and keep dry. The best method Is to tie It up with binding twine as shown in the cut.

The American secret service has scored another success which will tell tremen dously on the progress of the war and must leave its mark on the course of history. It has penetrated the mysterious, sometimes malodorous and always baf fling fog which has shrouded the ever shifting Russian situation since the dstys of I.voff and Milikoff, and has at last laid firm fingers on the strings which have moved the preposterous and incredi ble puppets in this tragic farce. It is an achievement In International detective work which has seldom been equaled for skill and dramatic effect; and has never been equaled for its far reaching conse-, quenres, its long armed blows at high placed crli'nlnais and the story of unparal leled audacity and shameless, heartless, pitiless treachery which it uncovers. The very audacity of the Berlin-Lenine Trotzky plot was what paralyzed for so long general credence in the proofs of ex posure that were offered. We all knew that Germany would bribe, that human beings were frail, that wolves would wear sheep’s clothing and that the devil would quote for his profit -the scriptures of an ideal istic creed. But it staggered the imagina tion of thinking men everywhere that even the German high command would dream for a moment that they could ”put over” so impossible a conspiracy. But they did it. They fooled all the people part of the time. They found tools of unbelievable baseness, treachery and in human cruelty in Lenine, Trotzky and their slimy crew. And now the American secret service has caught the lot of them, branded proofs of their perfidy on the not too thin skins of the boislievist lead ers, and saved humanity Just In the nick of time from trusting itself to the quick, sands of bolshevist •‘honor.” The documents given out by the com. mittee on public information leave not aq atom of room for doubt. Lenine an00,000 more than in 1917. The budget estimates made last year are surpassed by 340,000,000. Comparing the figures with 1914-1916, which was the year of neutrality, the last income stows an Increase of 2, 800,000,000. The special tax on the business gave to the state 662,600,000 liras, or 117,600, 000 more than last year. All the Income from recorder fees, from mortgages and from government concessions shows a big Increase, while the Income from automobile, autoboat and motorcycle fees was less than the last fiscal year. All the special taxes on moving pic tures, jewels, perfumes and restaurants failed to give a big Income owing to the fact that those taxes are only ordered. -B«w#4rer, h*re are the amounts: Th^ moving pictures paid: 7,669,000 liras; Jewelry, 4,207,000 liras; perfumes, 17.096.000 ltras, and the restaurants, 2.269.000 liras. The consumers’ taxes raised 966,000, 000, or 314.000,000 more than last year. The state monopoly paid sun income of 1,076,000,000 liras, or 830,000,000 more than last year. Salt paid 64.000,000; matches, 20,000,000, and the state lot tery 56,000,000. Oeneral taxea raised 1,864,000,000, or 437,000,000 more than last year. In come taxes paid 432.000.000 and exemp tion from military service gave 8 - 000,00O. The public service shows an Income Of 282,000.000. The general income should be in creased by 27,000,000 received from the sale of sugar.

His perfect tech nical knowledge of flying led him to expect undreamed of results. Fos-a time Baracca made prepara tions for the first essay, hut his un timely death left the attempt for oth ers. Thus, our flyers went up to fight enemy airplanes in the clear sky and beneath a brilliant full moon. A squadrllle of enemy planes of the Brandenburg type succeeded in cross ing our front and, flying at a high level over our lines of communication, be gan to drop bofhbs. The night was clear, sharp, shining and the air still, making the enemy’s aim easy. From several fields our flyers rose in their chasing planes and, getting the range, attacked the enemy. Several planes of the squadrllle escaped by rapid flight, Two, nevertheless, failed to get away, and they were attacked by one of our aviators who overtook them. He turned his roach live gun on them and brought them down. One of them fell at Saint Helena, southeast of Trevlao, aqd the other at Caposile. The. two aviators In the first plane were wounded and captured. Thogp In the second, which fell in flames In the Slle river, were fished up dead. The same night, from 11 o'clock till 2:30, an enemy bombing plane which had reached the sky above Treviso passed through the glare from our searchlights and was struck squarely by our guns. It fell damaged In an open field. The aviators were unin jured and were taken prisoners. A Different Affair. Dad—Why Is this parlor clock slopped every morning? Ma—Dottle’s beau stops It.
