As Mark looked tils heart swelled with the consclous seaa and pride of leadership. And. at lis glance, n roar went up that was caugnt np from man to man and sent echoing Into the distance. And Mark was swept away with un conquerable enthusiasm. It was his day, the day of which every soldier dreams. "Come along, boys! Break them up I" he shouted, and ran forward. With one resounding cheer tho lines swept after hltn. A ripple of innehlne gun fire caught them, but could not hold them. Over .the fallen they pressed on, cries of triumph upon (heir lips, the faces, set above the gleaming bayonets, animated by a single pur pose. And now they were upon them, Mark fought In the bloody swirl. Itlades thrust at him, bullets tore his tattered uniform. Once he was down, and he saw a giant rush at him with clubbed rifle. He raised his arm, he tried to drive with els sword, lunged and missed. Then the uplifted rifle fell harmlessly beside hllu, and the glnnt fell forward, dead, over hltn, pin ning him to the ground, and covering him with his blood. A bsyonet thrust had passed clean through his body. And, looking up bewildered, Mark thought he saw Hartley's face look Into his own. Next moment Mark was on his feet again, and Hartley had vanished. But already the last tussle was over. The (SeniiBiis broke and fled. Murk stood still, gasping.

In other words, if we had paid $13.13, we would have made no profit Or, if we had received a quarter of a cent per pound less for dressed beef we would have made no profit It is doubtful whether any other business is run on so close a margin of profit. This is bringing the producer and the consumer pretty close togethc. which should be the object of any industry turning raw material into a useful form. This remarkable showing is due to enormous volume, perfected facilities (packing plants strategically located, branch houses, refrigerator cars, etc.), and an army of men and women chosen and trained to do their special work. This, and many other points of interest, are found in the Swift & Company Year Book for 1919, just published which is brought out for the public as well as for the 25,000 Swift & Company shareholders. The Year Book also represents the packer's side of the Federal Trade Commission investigation, upon which Congress is asked to base action against the industry. Many who have never heard the packer's side are sending for the Year Book. Would you like one ? Merely mail your name and address to the Chicago office and the book will come to you.
