L&A
Meat Must Be Sold
Fresh meat is perishable. It
must be sold within about two
weeks for whatever it will bring.
A certain amount of
beef is frozen for foreign
shipment, but domestic
markets demand fresh,
chilled, unfrozen beef.
Swift & Company can
not increase prices by
withholding meat, be
cause it will not keep fresh
and salable for more than
a few days after it reaches
the market.
Swift & Company cannot tell
at the time of purchasing cattle,
what price fresh meat will bring
when put on sale. If between
purchase and sale, market con
ditions change, the price of meat
must also change.
The Food Administration
limits our profit to 9 per' cent on
capital invested in the meat
departments. This is about 2
cents per dollar of sales. No
profit is guaranteed, and the
risk of loss is not eliminated
As a matter of fact, meat is
often sold at a loss because of
the need of selling it before it
spoils.

ADULT TOPIC-Why and how to pray
and tlio rostilts.
Prayer ought to be n matter of great
concern to every believer (Psalms 145:
18).
Prayer Is n mntter but little under
stood by Christians; In fact, only ns
divine aid Is given can vu really pray.
Tho range of prayer Is from tho
depths of the soul to tho very
thoughts of God. There was some
thing about the praying of Jesus that
so Impressed the dlsclplqs that they
requested him to teach them to pray
(Luke 11:1). Wo nowhere read of
them asking him to teach them how
to preach. Praying Is moro important
than preaching. No ono Is lit to teach
or preach who does not know how to
prny. May each one enroll nt onco
In the school of prayer with Christ uh
our teacher. He Is n most wining and
capable teacher. In response to tho
disciples' request he outlines tho fol
lowing principles of prayer:
I. The Right Relationship of the One
Praying (Luke 11:2).
1. Filial "Futher."
In order to prny to God, the sup
pliant must be n child of God. God
Is n father; his gifts and blessings nro
for his children. This relationship
can only be entered into through re
generation. Not nil men have n right
to say, "Our Father" when address
ing God. Only those who are children
of God by fnlth In Jesus Christ can
so nddress him. It is not only profess
ing to be children, but living like God's
children. Children have' rights and
privileges which nro denied to others.
2. Fraternal "Our Father."
God has more than ono child. Ills
children nro bound up together lrr na
ture and Interests. Even In our se
cret prayer we should address him ns
Our Father, which Is n recognition of
the interests of others, alongside of
ours.
II. The Right Attitude in Prayer
(Luke 11:2).
1. Reverent adoration.
As children we have certain priv
ileges, nnd yet holy reverence becomes
us. Wo shbuld hallow his name; wo
should ndorc him as the ctcrnnl God,
2. Loyalty.
When praying to God wo should
come with tho spirit of loynlty which
cries out "Thy kingdom come."
H. Submission "Thy will bo done."
' We should have no will of our own
regarding the rule of God. Wo should
let htm direct us In nil things.
III. The Right Spirit (Luko 11:8-8)
1. Dependent Fnlth "Glvo us our
dally bread" (v. 3).
We should realize that not only
what wo have, but life Itself is ours
to enjoy becnuso of Mm, and thnt ho
Is nblo to do for us exceedingly noun
diuitly nbovo all that wo ask or think.
2. Penltenco and Love "Forglvo US'
our debts" (v. fl).
We should como to 1dm rcnllrfng
that we havo tinned, and cry unto him
for forgiveness. Our henrts should
be so filled with love for others that
we will forglvo those who sinned
iigidnst us ns God la willing to for
glvo us.
it. Holiness nnd Caution "Lead us
not into temptation" (v. 4).
Bicauso wo nro God's children nnd
realizing the depravity of our Matures,
nnd tho consequent tendency to prac
tice that which displeases him, wo
should shrink from that which, If in
dulged In, would dishonor him.
4. Intercessory (vv. 5, 0).
The man who asked for bread did
not ask for himself, but for a friend.
Prayer which pleases God Is unselfish
in Its requests.
fi. Perseverance (vv. 7, 8).
Prayer which pleases God and got
rcsniH Is Importunate, perseveres un
ttll t'.e object Is achieved.
IV. Encouragement to Pray (Luko
Jl:iM.).
1. tJud'a promlso (vv. 0, 10).
'J tu" prnyer cannot fall of an nn-
swer, becnuso God definitely promises
that every ono that usketh rccelvcth,
' ho tiiut sccketh findcth, nnd to htm
thnt Miockcth ft shall be .opened.
2. Tho cxnmplo of nn enrthly fa
ther (vv. 11-13).
No father will glvo n stone to his
son who nBkcth for bread, or n serpent
Instead of n fish, nor n scorpion In
stead of nn egg. God Is Infinitely
more willing to answer the prayers
of his children than earthly parents
nro to glvo good gifts to their chil
dren. V. The Truo Gpal of All Prayer
(Luko 11:10).
God's gift Ik himself in the person
of his lloly Spirit. All those who
practice tho principles which Jesus
taught In this model prayer shall bo
blessed with tho gift of tho lloly Spir
it, God's best gift to man.

Efforts.
On the train from Edmonton to Win
nipeg the writer took a seat beside n
soldier who had returned from tho
front. On his breast he wore the
beautiful distinguished service medal.
Ono coat sleeve was urmless, nnd on
his left cheek ho bore a sent thnt bo
would carry to his grave. He had
served his country faithfully and well.
At the first call for Boldlers In August,
1014, ho hastened to the recruiting
ofllco, leaving his 320-ncro farm, with
Its crop ready for harvest, n full
equipment of farm implements, plenty
of horses, ami a wife. The wlfo should
not he Inst on tho lint for she proved
the mnster of the situation, and loy
ally took hold of the question of pro
duction, while her husband wns on his
wny to tight the Hun. And she suc
ceeded. In linn she succeeded, and
again In 11)1(1, and when her husband
returned In 1017 she wus ublu to show
some contemplated farm buildings
completed, the Indebtedness of the farm
paid off, a considerable addition to thu
stock, nnd the land ready for a 1017
crop. This was the story told by tho
soldier, and wasn't he a proud mnnl
He was now ready to do what ho could
to keep up the period of prosperity
nnd provide food for the allies. The
women of Canada have done nobly
during the struggle.
Among tho most successful fnrmers
of the Oak Lake district, Manitoba,
are the Misses Clnrn and Heatrlce For
ward, who, for the past fourteen years,
have fanned their own land, doing all
tho regular work on the farm, such nn
plowing, seeding, summer fallowing
nnd reaping. They havo been espe
cially successful with stock, and have
n splendid herd of shorthorns, both
purebred and grade. Ar the recent
lirnudon Pale they purchased n new
purebred stock bull for $700. Their
herd was last year Increased by 23
calves.
Miss It. M. Hlllmnn of Keeler, Sas
katchewan, Is nnother successful
woman fnrmor. She has gone In ex-
"nslvely for grain growing, nnd farms
1,120 acres. She also owns some of
tho finest Pereberon horses. In Sas
katchewan. The prairie now boasts of ninny
women who hnve had more or less suc
cess, though few are farming on the
same large scale as Miss Hlllman and
the Misses Forward. These women
have demonstrated, and aro still dem
onstrntlng, that a versatile woman
may be Just as good and successful n
farmer us her brother.
There, are other women, too, on the
Canadian prairies, who, though they
have not had thrown upon them the re
sponsibilities of "running a farm,"
have been decided factors In making
tho farm n success. They assist their
husbands by keeping the fan. ac
counts, reducing the grocer's bills by
their mnnngement of the poultry nnd
butter, taking care of the house, and,
very often, proving good ndvlsers In
the economic management of the men
nnd genernl conduct of the farm work.
