NEBRASKA NATIONAL EGG

interest in breeding better strains,

ness. Ten standard-bred pullets will
constitute an entry. Tho contest
starts November 1st. For further

METHODIST DOINGS
Echoesfrom the Centenary cele
bration at Columbus, Ohio:
Tho executive cabinet of the Inter
church Movement, with headquar
ters in New York, is visiting the
Methodist -Centenary Celebration In
Columbus, Ohio, to study the expo
sition with a view of holding simil
ar expositions, under tho direction
of tho Interchurch Movement. Var
ious large cities of stragctic impor
tance and geographically located
will be chosen for the exposition.
One result of Centenary culmin
ating indubitablo proof of tho prac
tical value of the Methodist Centen
ary celebration in Columbus, Ohio,
is found in the fact that following
tho appeals that were made on tho
first day of special meetings, GOO
persons pledged themselves to a
life of Christian service in whatever
field of activity their particular tal
ents may fit them.
The significance of these pledges
in connection with the Centenary
movement is seen from the fact that
the annual accessions to church
workers in the Methodist field aver
age 600 a year, so that one day's
solicitation after two weeks of the
celebration lias resulted in the cquiv
alent of a year's work throughout
the church . in the entire United
States. Of tho 600, approximately,
100 will be ministers.
In the near future wo expect to
give a complete report of what tho
local church has contributed to the
Centenary, both in a financial way
and young people who have conse
crated themselves for life service.
Next Sunday being Chabtauqun
Sunday there will be no meetings
held in" the church except tho Sun
day School at 10 a. m.

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 arc 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
hundreds 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.
