WEARING ON SAILORS' NERVES
Effect of Fob Bank While on Convoy!
Duty Is Almost Beyond Lands,
man's Imafllnatlon.
More comfortable than howling
galea, tho fogs that drop u thick gray
blanket over the seas are far more
wearing on the nerves, writes Her
man Whitakcr in the New York In
dependent. Imagine half n dozen de
stroyers guarding n 30-vomoI con
voy. At night a fog bank close,
around them beforo they ran scat
ter, and from an exact fcionco navi
gation dogonoratos into the blind
groping of a blind navigator over
blind Boas.
Not a commander in our licet but
has collected an assortment of night
marcs in fliirh weather to last him
tho rost of his life. Not a sailor
that cannot relato hair-raising oxpe
riencos as this:
"Out of tho thick peu-miup fog a
huge black freighter suddenly row
on our bows. Ah wo swung on our
'heel with one scrow revoked a de
stroyer (sunn shooting at us from the
oppnilo quarter. Avoiding her, wc
almost ran down another steamer,
i loll you for a while gray hell wii
loose thoro on a black sea."
They have not always escaped,
either. Kogs have caused cnsualties.
but so far, thank Clod I no fatalities!

Men May Remain In Water Indefinitely
When Incased In New
"Safety" Suit.
Members of the University of
Pennsylvania base hospital unit,
known officially m United Stat03
Uase Hospital No. 20, will give the
U-boats and tho kaiser the merry
"ha ! ha I" when the unit gets started
for France, if a campaign which was
launched recently is successful.
Maj. J. B. Carnett, commander
of the unit, has received a "safety"
suit which it is desired to purchase
for every one of tho 250 members.
To do so will require $3,000, and the
alllccrs, nurses and enlisted person
nel started lo raise tho amount nec
essary to provide the suits.
Jly wearing tho suit it will bo pos
sible for a person to remain in tho
water indefinitely. Tho suit, about
tho upper part of tho body, is lined
with fiber, which makes it buoyant.
The soles of the shoes aro lined with
lead, which keep tho feet down and
maintain tho bodv in an miriuht po
sition, even though from exposure
the wearer of tho suit should become
unconscious.
Tho suit is easily donned, and,

IN LIBERTY'S NAME
Memorial Day Finds the Nation
Battling for Freedom of tho
Whole World.
MEMORIAL DAY wns born of n
war fotiglit that this nation, tin
dor God, should have a now
birth of fruedom, mid that government
of tho tiooplo, for tho people and by
the people shall not perish from the
earth."
A hnlf a century and more lias
passed slnco that Itntnortnl utterance.
Now the nation Is again In arms, to
IlKht tlmf "the world may be made
safp for democracy."
Then, the yotinir republic, strtiititllne
upward toward Its vision of freedom,
learned through the hitter travull of
Civil war that tho nation could not
exist half slave ntid half free. The
vision hns broadened with the wld
enlng year. Then It was for the free
dom of a race tho nation fought. Now
the sword Is drown for tho Imperiled
liberty of tho world.
The natal day of our Independence
wo havo been wont to celebrate with
loud acclaim and vaunting pride. Me
morial day ever has been our time for
solemn contemplation. Another Me
morial day Is at hund.nnd us America
lays Its (lowers on tho graves of Its
soldier dead, It hears again that re
vered voice from tho slopes of Oct
tysburg bidding us to tin not unmlmb
fill that "It Is rolher for us to bo hero
dedicated to Urn great task reinaliilnu
beforo us, that from these honored
dead we take Increased devotion to
that cause for which they gave tho
last full measure of devotion : that we
hero highly resolvo that theso dead
shall not have died In vain."
A beautiful, a pootlc symbollMii
Memorial day had come to bo to us:
The people who wolk with slow steps
In the unlet cemeteries, tho children
In their white dresses who with loving
hands place wreaths "alike for the
friend nnd tho fo," the venerable men
who are tho links that hind us to an
age long gone, and, as we believed, for
ever gone, when nation warred with
nation nnd blood lust grew In hearts
that had thrilled at the sight of the
same Hug.
And now with what n now and sud
den slgnlllcnnre has Memorial day been
w-qird. With what different thought
will ihey go "lovingly laden with How
er." How ii.ueh more reverently
llmti lit those conventional days that
nlnniily em so far away will the lit
tie llaus be planted tut each patriot
mound. And who Is there, when tups,
clear and soft as a benediction, Is
sounded for I hose who "dream of bat
tlellelds no more," will not remember
that on a neighboring hill on the mor
row from that same silvery bugle will
leap thu reveille for another genera
lien of freedom's soldiers?
If solemn memories of tho past and
earnest thought for the future bring
that new birth of freedom, who shall
say that those, have died In vnln for
whom (lowers will bo spread In far
Memorial days to come?
TRIBUTE TO PHIL KEARNY
Comts De Pari Kntw and Loved F
moui Soldier Who Gave Hli Life
for HI Country.
It was after tho review that I made
the pcrMiuol iiciuiilatiince of the olll
cers with whom I was to have the good
fortune to light for a cause which was
already dear to me. All made mo cor
illHlly welcome, but It was with Kearn
that I found in) self nutst nt home. He
It was who could speak to me of the
French sruiy In Algeria In is 10 and of
the memories left by my family In that
country, lie did so In terms which
deeply touched tho heart of the exile,
the son of the Hue d'Orleeus. Kearny
hud imrtleliwted In one of those cam
iwilgiis on African ground which
brought out Mrongly thu merits of the
I'rench soldier. He laid also iiwtoelutcd
himself with the triumphs of Franco
In tho Italian campaign of l&W.
Ills abrupt speech and Imperious
in turner denoted a proud disposition,
nnd a character Incapable of (lattery
or of dissimulation. Hut though at llrt
his manner was not always lilted to
uttract, one soon learned to appreciate
the uoble qualities of his heart, the
ririuuoss of his will, the accuracy of
his Judgiauut, the truthfulness ami
grandeur of his soul.
If he did not spare his soldiers at
tho decisive moment, he spared himself
still los. and by his example obtained
from his followers truly heroic efforts.

The Farmer's
Share
Live stock is marketed from
farmer to consumer at a lower
cost than almost any other farm
product.
The United States Department of
ogriculture reported in 1916 that the
farmer gets for his cnttlo "approxi
mately two-thirda lo three-fourths" of
the finul retail price pnid by the con
sumer for the resulting beef.
Under normal conditions, the farmer's
ehnre of retail prices of various farm
products Is approximately as follows:
Rutlnr 71 vifii cent
CATTLE 66
Eggs 65
Potatoes 55
Poultry
45
rruus
35
Tho difference between farmer's price
and retail price represents the necessary
expenses of packing, freight and whole
sale and retail distribution.
Swift & Company not only performs
the manufacturing operations of pre
paring cattle for market in its well
equipped packing plants, but it pays the
freight on meat to all parts of the
United States, operates 500 branch
distributing houses, and in most cases
even delivers to the retail butcher. All
this is done at an expense of less than 2
rents per pound, nnd at n profit of only
about l4 of a cent per pound of beef.
Large volume of business and expert
management, make possible this indis
pensable service to the live-stock raiser
and to the consumer, and make possible
the larger proportion of retail prices
received by farmers.
