Packers' Profits
A r e R egu lated
FOR
: sb
T h e public should understand that
the profits of the packers have been
limited by the Food Administration
since N ovem ber 1, 1917. F o r this pur­
pose, the business o f Swift & Company
is n ow divided into three classes:
Vick Brothers ¿ire receiving FORDSON TRAC­
TORS in Regular Shipments. Demonstra­
tions every Saturdiiy. Come and sec
the Tractor Work. Orders taken
in Rotation
Clara 1 includes such products S3 beef,
pork, mutton, oleomargarine and
others that are essentially animal
products. Profits are limited to 9
per cent of the capital employed in
these departments, (including sur­
plus and borrowed money), it not
to exceed two and a half cents on
each dollar of sales.
2 includes the soap, glue,
fertiliser, and other departments
ptore or less associated with the
meat business. Many of these de­
partments are in competition with
outside businesses whose profits
are not limited. Profits in this class
are restricted to 15 per cent of the
capital employed.
Class
We have “Disk Harrows”

Valley
C lass 3 includes outside investments,
such as those in stock yards, and
the operation of packing plants in
foreign countries. Profits in this
class are not limited.

The restrictions absolutely gu ar­
antee a reasonable relation between
live stock prices and wholesale meat
prices, because the packer’s profit can­
not possibly average more than a
fraction o f a cent per pound o f product
Since the profits on m eat ( Class 1)
are running only about 2 cents on each
dollar of sales, w e have to depend on
the profits from soap, glue, fertilizer
( Class 2, also limited) and other depart­
ments, (Class 3) to obtain reasonable
earnings on capital.
Sw ift & Com pany is conducting
its business so as to come within these
limitations.

Th<* members of the English claw
had filed out o f the recitctioa room,
with the exception of Gridley. who,
t y special request, was now standing
et the teacher's de»k.
To the casual observer, Orldley wai
a boy of aboat fifteen, with a wiry
frame, a well-shaped head thatched
with straw colored hair, a large mouth
hod irray-bioe eyes.
“ I am snrprlaed that you should of-
f s r this ns an exercise In English com­
position, ” Miss Stanhope said with a
note of sarcasm In her voice, point­
ing to several sheets o f paper that
lay on her desk.
“ You told me to take any subject
that I was Interested In. If It was
worth while, and then put plenty of
time Into it, and I did. It took me
rrore than two hour«." protested Grid-
ley.
"I should hardly call the subject
worth while,” began Miss Stanhope.
” 1» was the best game there’s been
thi- «s o n ,” said Gridley.
“ \.e will let that pass,” the teacher
continued. “ What I object to Is the
language that you have used. What
am I to make o f such expressions as
these: "llie south paw artist,’ ‘a frea
tick t to the Initial bag,’ ‘Duffy w as
nailed at the plate,’ *two of the vis­
itors crossed the pan’ ? Really, Grid-
ley. do you call that English?"
Grldley’s mouth widened in a grin.
" I don’t know about English, Miss
Stanhope, but I guess It’s United
St itea,” he said.
Miss Stanhope smiled herself, al­
though «he would have preferred not
to. She took her specialty, which was
English, very seriously, and It pained
her when her pupils did not.
“ It might be Choctaw, os far as I
am concerned,” she said. “ It conveys
uii« Mutely no meaning.”
“ Why, didn’t you ever see a base-
br II game?” exclaimed Gridley.
"No, I believe not,” she admitted,
ard she perceived at once that her
ernfes-ion of ignorance was far more
Interesting to Gridley than any dls-
pi iy of her knowledge had ever been.
T--» bapi>y thought occurred to her to
take odvnn .ige r * tv.» fact. “ No.” she
repented, “ I know nothing about base-
t ill, h it I rhon'd like to learn. Sup-
P' re you t.. bein^ the teacher and see
If you can make this all clear to me.
You will have to begin at the begin­
ning and be very patient with roe.”
“ Do you mean it?” said Gridley, with
th « Joy o f the enthusiast In his eyes.
Then for mote than an hour be ex­
pounded* baseball, while the English
teacher faithfully groped her way to
an understanding.
“Ton must think me very stupid.”
she said more than once, and Gridley,
nlthnueb he did not dispute her, re­
doubled his efforts to express his mean­
ing in words fitted to his pupil s capac­
ity. At the end o f the hour Miss
Stanhope was pretty well versed In
the rudiments of the game, and. Inci­
dentally, Gridley had gained a little In
English and a good deal In Ms liking
for the teacher.
“ 1*11 hand In a better composition
next time.” he assured her as he finally
w ent his way.
The promised composition was dnly
received, although after the lapse of
some four years, and It came from
“ somewhere in France.”
“ Perhaps you have forgotten me,”
Gridley wrote, “ but I haven’t forgot­
ten you. or the hour that we spent
one Friday afternoon, going over my
baseball *piece.’ I little thought that
I should not see yon again, bu t we
moved from the city quite unexpect­
edly the next week. N ow I am fa r­
ther aw ay than ever from the old
school. But here Is the composition
that I promised to pass In. not about
baseball this time, but about the big
w ar over here. I ’m In a harder school
than Rnyport H igh and there’s ne
chance to play hookg. But I'm glad to
be here and It’s up to me to mako
good.”
Miss Stanhope accepted the state­
ment. not for Its elegance but as evi­
dence o f the serious purpose of Grid-
ley— nttle Gridley o f the straw-colored
hair and the contagious grin.
“There will be something doing when
we fellow s get Into the game.” wrote
Gridley, “and. take It from ms, wo
w 1” _.nd the kaiser bis all right.”
The thought w as badly expressed
but Miss Stanhope thrilled at the spirit
behind the words.
“ It w on’t be long now before It la
all over and I am back In little old
Am erica again,” the letter went on.
The tears came to Miss Stanhope’s
eyes. “ Ah. soldier b o y s h e thought,
“ It Is w ell that you over there have
faith, while so many o f us back here
have only hope. Perhaps your faith
will help to make your prophecy come
tru .”
“ I gnese.” said Gridley. at the end,
“that this won t take a very high mark
as English, but.” and the teacher, a l­
though her own eyes were a little dim,
could almost see the twinkle In his
gray-blue ones as he wrote the words,
"perhaps it w ill get by as 'Unite I'
States.’
