Experts or Theorists--Which?
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.

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.

. 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.
