Out of tho $2,600,000 and such othor

Tho final draft consists of 2C arti

Bovcral delegates urged that this
would open such a large question that
great delay might ensue, and tho mat

President Wilson was not present
at this session, having to attend tho
supremo war council. Lord Robert
Cecil acted as chairman during his
absoncc.
O recce has been authorized by tho
pcaco council to send additional troops
Into Thrace, tho Smyrna district and
the adjacent territory along tho coast.
It Is understood that theso troops and
thoso which Italy Is about to send to

Konlcn will bo considered as allied
troops subject to withdrawal by the
council.
This movo is construed by observers
hero as tho first stop toward making

In a written reply to a declaration
of tho French association on tho soci
ety of nations which recently called
upon him, President Wilson makes
known formally for tho first tlmo his
intention to return to Franco after
going to Washington for tho closing
session of tho American congress.
In this reply tho president says that

Why Swift & Company Handle
Poultry, Eggs, Butter and Cheese
Swift & Companywent into the pro
duce business because they saw a
crying need for the kind of service they
were equipped to perform.
The produce business was in chaos.
Collecting, transportation, preparation
and distribution was hit or miss,
with delay, deterioration and loss on
every hand.
The farmer was at the mercy of an
uncertain, localized market. He had
no way of reaching through to the
people who needed what he was
raising for them. There was no prem
ium upon improving his stocks, for
grading was lax or lacking.
The consumer had to accept produce
that, as a rule, had no known respon
sible name behind it. He had no way
of knowing how long the eggs or the
butter he was buying had been lying
around in miscellaneous lots in the back
room of a country store. Much of the
poultry was not properly refrigerated
before shipment or properly protected
by refrigeration in transit.
Swift & Company's initiative brought
system to this chaos. Their organiza
tion, equipment, and experience in
handling perishable food products were
already adjusted to the task. Their
refrigerator cars, branch houses, cen
tral points, far-reaching connections,
trained sales force, supplied just what
was demanded.
Now the farmer has a daily cash
market in touch with the nation's
needs with better prices. Standardi
zation makes better produce more
profitable. More consumers are served
with better, fresher, finer foodstuffs.
Nothing suffers from this save
inefficiency, which has no claim upon
public support.
