If Swift & Company
Made No Profit
The cattle raiser would receive only
Vs cent a pound more for his cattle
So small is Swift & Company's
profit on any single transaction
that if it were turned over to the

would receive only V& cent a
pound more for cattle than they
receive now.
Swift & Company pays for live cattle
about 90 of the amount received for
dressed meat and by-products. The
remaining 10 pays for packing-house
expense, freight to market, operation

Service Flag Receives Blessing
An interesting service was
held at St: Patrick's cliurcli last
Sunday afternoon when the serv
ice flag of the parish, bearing
seven stars to represent the sev
en young medwho are now in
the national army bearing arms
in the cause of freedom and de
mocracy, received the solemn
blessing of the Church.
Muss was celebrated and a
number of beautiful musical se
lections were rendered by the
choir.
Rev. Father 0"Rourke, who is
one of Eastern Oregon's most
popular pulpit orators, delivered
a splendid address in keeping
with the occasion in which he
paid tribute to the young men in
whose honor the service was
held.
During his address Father
O'Rourke also took occasion to
refer to statements made by crit
ics of the Cathulic church and of
the Irish people to the effect that
they aie not loyal to this govern
ment and that when the testing
time came they would be found
wanting in their espousal of the
principles of ('emocracy. In re
ply to these critics the speaker
quoted Secretary of War Bakei
who recently made the state
ment that almost 35 per cent of
the United States army and near
ly 50 per cent of the navy, is
Catholic.
A large congregation was pres
ent to enjoy the service and the
address.
