Had Quite An Experience Ino 5V Columbia I3 1 C IIOI It Cost the Average Family Less Than 10c Per Week for Packer's Profit in 1917. The Meat Bill is one of the large items in the family budget but less than 10 cents per week of it goes to the packer in profits. In converting live stock into meat and getting it into the hands of the retail dealer, the packer performs a complox and essential service with the maximum of efficiency. The above statement is based on Swift & Company's 1917 figures and Fcdcrul Census data: Swift & Company's total output (Meitniby .foducti) - 5,570,000,000 Pounds Swift & Compuny's total Profit $34,050,000.00 Profit per pound $.0002 U.

Harris, the well known local ice manufacturer, recent ly received a letter from his son. Claud, of which the following is a part: "When we stood off of Sandy Hook yesterday afternoon and came up the old North river in the dark and saw the Statute of Liberty all lit up at the en trance of the harbor, I believe it was one of the happiest mo ments of my life. I left here the 29th of last January in a submarine chaser. We crossed over under our own power, sometimes in convoy and some times not. We crossed along the Irish coast in search of sub marines and experienced a lot of hardships. Later we went south and was in the Mediter ranean sea when the Jacob Jones was sunk. We rescued three of the crew and took them aboard. A week after that we were run down in the night and stink. All of the crew escaped except the chief machinist mate, lie was sleeping at the time. I was on watch with another machinist. Both of us escaped with only bruises, and we were sure lucky. We were the Inst to Icavo except the officer, who stepped into the life boat right behind me. We were in that open boat all night and was picked up by a mine layer, and that was what we finally came into New York on. I have been pretty sick from exposure, but will get over that in a short time." An Interesting Program Mister exercises were held in the morning at the Evangelical church and the program arrang ed by the Superintendent of the Sunday School and kindergar ten and primary superintendent was excellent. The little ones seemed at their very hunt, ami why tiot, for such is the king dom of heaven. In the evening, the Suns Dion Rein class had charge of the program under the direction of the president of the class, Miss Itulh Kdmond son, and she deserves credit for the manner in which she con ducted the exercises. Then was music by the orchestra, patriotic songs by the choir in which the audience joined, a duet by Mrs. Daisy lloskins and Mr. KmiKom Young, a read ing by Mrs. Hall and also one by Miss Wagner, a talk by the 1 pastor in which he commended the class for what they had done and what they meant to the church, also in reward to the young men who had left the class at their country's call and wore now at the front, nroaentn tion of a Service Hag in memory of the boys who belonged to the duns, reading ot a poem by Mrs. Hall, composed by Miss Etta I'attorson, a class member, which will appear next week. The decorations wore beautiful and much credit is due the chair man of the committee, Mrs. W. b. Montgomery, ami Mr. I Coy Turrell and Lawrence Layton. who helped and also brought a heautiful palm ami presented it to church.
