The packing industry is intri cate, complex far more so than the railroads or the telegraph. Every day multiplying needs ( of society increase its problems and multiplying responsibilities demand more of it Highly trained experts, spec ialists of years' experience, thinkers and creative men, de vote their lives, their energies, their activities, to solving the problems of the packing industry and meeting its widening duties. Swift & Company is not a few dozen packing plants, a few hundred branch houses, a few thousand refrigerator cars, and a few million dollars of capi tal, but an organization of such men. It is the experience, in telligence, initiative and activity which operates this physical equipment. Can this intelligence, this ex perience, this initiative and cre ative effort which handles this business at a profit of only a fraction of a cent per pound from all sources, be fostered through the intervention of political theorists, however .pure their purposes? Or be replaced by legislation? Does Congress really think that it can? Let ua send you a Swift "Dollar", It will interest you. Address Swift & Company, Union Stock Yards, Chicago, HI.

My dear Mr. McArthur: In view of the large number of in quiries that I have received from re turned soldiers, sailors and marines residing in your locality, relative to the provisions made by the govern ment for rural homes or other home stead privileges for thorn, I am send ing you a summary of the proposed schemes intended to accomplish that result. The Mondell Bill (II. It. 487) is a bill intended to provide employment and rural homes for those who took part in the military or naval ser vice during the recent war, by an ap propriation of $500,000,000 to be used by the Secretary of the Interior in the acquisition and development of tracts of land in each of tho sev eral states, to be sold on contract to approved applicants, for fivo per cent of the purchase price down and the balance to be carried back for a period of time not exceeding forty years, at four per cent interest, pay able annually. The bill also author izes a loan, not to exceed $1,500 for improvements and $1200 for the pur chase of live stock and equipment. The loans are payable in five years and bear four per cent interest, pay able annually. . This bill was referred to the House Committee on Public Lands and( re ported back for passage. The report of the committee contains the fol lowing summary of substitute plans that have been proposed: "1. A bonus for all soldiers'. This has been proposed in three dif ferent forms: (a) Three hundred dollars for each enlisted man, which would require a total appropriation of $1, 200,000,000; (b) A bonus of $25 per month for each month in tho service which would amount to about the same total if the average length of service was one year; (c) A bonus of $5,000 for each soldier, which would call for $20,000,000,000. 2. Individual farm loans. Thcso have been proposed for various amounts and purposes, but all on the basis of the "infiltration plan," a term now commonly used to describe the method of individual settlement on scattered farms, as distinguished from tho plan of community settle ment. It has been proposed: (a) That a flat sum of $1,000 be offered to each soldier for the purchase of an approved farm wherever he may se lect it, such advance to be made up on the basis of 100 per cent of the value, at 4 per cent interest, pay able in 40 years. If all soldiers ac cepted the offer, it would call for an appropriation of $10,000,000,000; (b) the same proposition with a maxi mum loan of $10,000, which would call for $10,000,000,000 if accepted by all; (c) tho same proposition ex tended to cover advances for neces sary improvements, live stock and equipment; (tl) the same proposition except that tho loan shall bo elastic in amount, ranging down to 50 per cent of value. "3. Loans for city or country homes. That every, man returned from the colors be offered a loan of $2,500 at a low rate of interest (4 per cent suggested), payable over 40 years' time, provided ho invest the money either in a farm or in acquir ing a home in city or town. Assuming the unanimous acceptance of this proposition, it would call for $10, 000,000,000. "4. Loans for all lines of busi ness. That soldiers desiring to en gage in any line of business be pro vided with loans of various amounts, ranging up to 100 per cent of the necessary capital. It is impossible to estimate the appropriation that would bo required, but the idea is for tho Nation to supply the finan cial backing for every soldier who desires to engage in trade, industry, or profession, of whatever nature. "5. Advancing money to the states. That $500,000,000 bo appor tioned among the several states on the basis of the number of men sup plied to the colors, and that the states be permitted to use the money in any way they consider best for the soldier's welfare. The same sugges tion was made on the basis of a larger but indefinite appropriation. "6. Leave it to private capital. That the matter be left entirely to private capital to finance, with help ful co-operation on the part of the Government in safeguarding a any propositions fat investors and set tlers' I regret that a sufficient number of the reports are not available to , 'aluc to you as an item of informa tion. I will be very grateful to you if you will kindly. extendthis informa tion to others who may bo interested in the various propositions, and ' who?c names and addresses I do not have. The members of Congress are studying tho various propositions in I the hope that some general plan will be ultimately adopted which will i harmonize with tho best interests of i the soldiers and also the financial condition of tho National Treasury. With compliments and best wiMics, 1 am, Yours very truly, W. E. ANDREWS. Farm Bureau Notes . STATE FAIR The fore part of the week was spent at the State Fair. Tin's was Ne braska's greatest fair. All buildings were filled with exhibits and com petition for prize money and ribbons were hard fought for. In the cattle and horse exhibits the number of an imals was about the same as last year, but of a much better quality. The swino exhibit had 3000 hogs as compared to 2100 last year. The new barn built last year was not large enough and a tent was used to hold the surplus. In the new poultry building was 3000 birds as compared with 1800, the previous high mark, and in tho new sheep barn was 500 sheep compared to 250 head last 'year.
