ThanKsgiving Thought I FIRST THANKSGIVING Over Seas for Freedom. T ET us be glad together that the I passionate lovo of freedom that made the Pllarlm Fathers set sail In fraollo ships to brave tho un known terrors of the Inhospitable Now England coast Is driving us back over the seas In dreadnaughts to face the known horrors of modern warfare. When that spirit dies there can bo no more thanksgiving In America. A long as this spirit lives It is alwayi Thanksgiving day, whatever happens or whatever we may have or may not have for dinner. Let us give thanks that years of prosperity and fatness, years of pence nd security, havo not served to make us entirely forgot that unless wo love freedom more than life, we are al ready as one dead; unless we know tho difference between real peace and Irish security, wo aro already a con qusred people. Let us give thanks for our strength, our wealth and our opportunities gar nered under the protection of even dswnlng democracy, and for the chance to pour them out without stint for tho spread of democracy to every corner of our world.

Why Compare Beef and Coal Profits ? Swiff & Company has frequently stated that its profit on beef averages only one fourth of a cent a pound, and hence has practically no effect on the price. Comparison has been made by the Federal Trade Commission of this profit with the profit on coal, and it has pointed out that anthracite coal operators are content with a profit of 25 cents a ton, whereas the beef profit of one-fourth of a cent a pound means n profit of $5.00 a ton. The comparison does not point out that anthracite coal at the seaboard is worth at wholesale about $7.00 a ton, whereas a ton of beef of fair quality is worth about $400.00 wholesale. To carry the comparison further, the 25 cent profit on coal is 3yfe per cent of the $7,00 value. The $5.00 profit on beef is only iy4 per cent of the $00.00 value. The profit has little effect on price in either case, but has less effect on the price of beef than on the price of coal Coal may be stored in the open air indefinitely; beef must be kept in expensive coolers because it is highly perishable and must be refrigerated. Coalis handled by the carload or ton; beef is deliv ered to retailers by the pound or hundred weight. Methods of handling are vastly different. Coal is handled in open cars; beef mu$t be shipped in refrigerator cars at an even temperature. Fairness to the public, fairness to Swift & Company, fairness to the packing industry, demands that these indisputable facts be considered. It is impossible to disprove Swift & Company's state ment, that its profits on beef are so small as to have practically no effect on prices. Swift & Company, U. S. A. BOIMHAM L. E.
