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.

- Indigestion, Bloat,
Heartburn, Caused
by Acid-Stomach
What Is the cause of Indigestion, dys
poiwia. bloat, heartburn, food-repeating,
belching, gassy, sour stomach, and so
maay stmaach miseries? Just this—aeld*
stSMseh—superaeldlty as the doctors
call It. It robs millions of their full
strength, vitality and the power to enjoy
life—to i# real men and women.
it to well known that an acid mouth
destrqyg the teeth. The acid Is so power
ful.' that It eats right ‘ through the hard
enamel-aa* causes the teeth to decay.
Tlila Is fate warning of what excess acid
ity will do to the delicate organization
»>r the oiomacb; as a matter of fact, ex
cess acidity not only produces a great
many painful and disagreeable symp
toms that we generally name “Stomach
troubles.*' but It Is the creator of a long
train of very serious ailments. Acid
atomach Interferes with the digestion
and causes the food to ferment. Thin
mass of sour, fermented food passes into
the Intent lues, where it becomes the
breeding place for germs and toxic
poisons, which In turn are absorbed
into the blood aud distributed through
j the entire body.
Wherever you go you see victims of
acid atomach — people who, while not
actually down sick are always ailing—
nave no appetite, food doesn't digest,
vtdcbiof all the time, continually com
plaining ot being weak and tired and
won* out If te this excess acidity that
takes the pep and punch out of them,
leaves little or no vitality.
Strike at the very cause of all this
trouble and clean this excess scld out
of the stomach. This will give .the stom
ach a chance to digest the food properly;
nature will do the rest.
A wonderful new remedy removes ex
cess acid without the slightest discom
fort. It is called BATON IC. made la
the form of tablets—they are good to est
—Just like a bit of candy, ; BATOV IQ
literally ikiorbi the injurious excess

Save Plenty of Seed Corn
Experience op 1917 Should be a
lesson to Ait ^
Bv F. G. HOLDFN *
1
HARVEST your seed corn before it freezes.
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. Hang the strings in the attic In
rows about four inches apart.
1 The Russian Iscariots. I
From the Philadelphia Public Ledger.
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 an<J
Trotzky sold the blind, helpless and trust,
iug Russian people for so much cash In
hand. They betrayed more than a nation
—they betrayed a great cause and q
deathless Ideal. They not only invited thq
trust of a people and then brutally be.
trayed it, but they Invited the easily won
trust of a childlike and confiding people—
they took its Innooent hands with a prom,
ise to lead.it into the fair land of liberty—
and then they sold It back Into a more
degrading bondage than It had known so
bitterly and hopelessly before.
It was the most odious treason since
Judas Iscariot.
We in this country have long execrated
the name of Benedict Arnold. But Bene
dict Arnold tried to sell an intelligent,
wide awake people— a people fairly able
to take care of itself—a people which had
known liberty for years and was not at all
likely to lose it for long. I^nlne and
Trotzky found an abject and long op
pressed people—a people who hardly knew
what liberty might be—a people whose
champions had been systematically Jailed,
tortured, shot or exiled—a people who had
at last their one totally unexpected and
irrecoverable chance for freedom. And
these two conscienceless and covetous
scoundrels deliberately led this blind
people Into a trap which would mean cen
turies of worse than Siberian oppression
for ISO.QQO.OOO living, hoping, suffering
human beings who might have been free.

ITALIAN FLYERS WIN
FIRST-NIGHT COMBAT
War Zone, Italy (by mail)—In the
days of comradeship with Francesco
Baracce, that great aviator, talked of
nothing with fonder hope than the
realization of his dream to see a night
pursuit of airships. 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.
