13 Dollars -
13 Cents
When Swift & Company
paid, say, 13 dollars per hun
dredweight for live beef cattle
last year, the profit was only
13 cents J In other words, if we
had paid $13.13, we would have
made no profit.
Or, if we had received a
quarter of a cent per pound less
for dressed beef we would have
made no profit
It is doubtful whether any
other business is run on so close
a margin of profit.
This is bringing the producer
and the consumer pretty close
togetherwhich should be the
object of. any industry turning
, raw material into a useful form.
This remarkable showing is due to
enormous volume, perfected facilities
(packing plants strategically located,
branch houses, refrigerator cars, etc.),
and an 'army of men and women
chosen and trained to do their special
work.
This, and many other points of
interest, are found in the Swift &
Company Year Book for 1919, just
published which is brought out for the
public as well as for the 25,000 Swift
& Company shareholders.
The Year Book also represents the
packer's side of the Federal Trade
Commission investigation, upon which
Congress is asked to base action
against the industry.
Many who have never heard the
packer's side are sending for the Year
Book.
Would you like one ? Merely mail
your name and address to the Chicago
office and the book will come to you.

To the relatives of America's Sol
diers and Sailors:
Your relatives serving with ih-?
celois will soon be back in civil life.
Thev niav be at home now. For
your protestion, and for their oh,
they undoubtedly have taken out in
surance with the United States Gov
ernment. You should impress upon your rel
atives in the service the vital Im
portance of keeping their insurance
with the United States Government.
Write to them without delay or tell
hem personally, If you ,can that
they may retain insurance with the
United States Government even alter
they leave the military service.
The privilege of continuing their
Government insurance Is a valuabble
right given to soldiers and sailors as
part of the compensation for their
heroic and loyal services. If the
soldier- or sailor permits his insur-
ance to lapse, he loses that right, and
be will never be able to regain it
P.ut if he keeps up his present in
surance by the regular payment of
the monthly premiums he will bs
able to change it later into a stan
dard Government policy, without
medical examination. Meantime, he
can keep up his present insurance at
substantially the same low rate. The
Government will write ordinary in
surance, 20-payment life, endowment
niatuiing at age 62, and other usual
fomis of insurance. ' This will be
(iovernineiit . insurance, at Govern
ment rales.
Many men will come out of tin'
war physically impaired and will,
therefore, be unable to obtain any
life insurance protection whatsoever
for themselves and their families,
unless they keep up their present in
surance with the United States Gov
ernment. Uncle Sam's insurance
may be continued and converted into
standard Government policies, re
gardless of the man's physical condi
tion. Impress these things upon your
relatives in the service. Tell them
there is, nothing safer or stronger
than Government Insurance, Tell
them to talk about this to their com
manding officers and o the insurance
officer at their place of duty, before
they leave the service. Tell them to
carry back with them to civil life, as
an aid and an asset, the continued in
surance protection of the United
States Government. Tell them, for
your sake and for their sake to Hold
on to Uncle Sam's Insurance.. ,

TO AID LOAfl
By MR3, A. S. BALDWIN,
Chairman Woman's Liberty Loan Corn
mlttj? of Twelfth Fedara'
Reserve District.
This last call !s truly a Victory Lean.
What greater pride can men and wo
men experience tliau in contributing
to It? A Victory. Bond will be worth
more than its price expressed lu dol
lars. Every one will be a badge testi
fying that the holder has helped hhi
pledging our credit, perhaps with some
little personal inconvenience, sacrifice
or small discomfort?
The credit and good faith of our
country is at stalte. We have won the
war, and the cost is small compared
with what has been won. The men of
the West with red blood in their veins
'ill not r.ei'd to be appealed to, because
hey will subscribe to this last call of
the- Government as ungrudgingly as
they did in tho past. There are others,
however, who may not be so keenly and
conscientiously alive to the duty of re
sponding to the Nation's call, and it is
to those that the women must direct
their most untiring efforts.

THE SUPREME TEST
Regardless of what territories may
be lost or won by the belligerents In
the world war, Germany, above all the
nations, has gained most, and next to
Germany the United Btates has bene
fited to a greater measure than any
of the other powers Involved. . Ger
many has thrown off th'yoke of-medieval
katoerlsm. The United States
Is a' natlon. .
The Liberty Loans were' one Of the j
greatest nationalizing factors. The j
Fourth Loan welded 20,000,000 bond
buyers into investing patriots the ;
kind of patriots who are willing to
sacrifice, for thdir country. , .
The Victory Liberty Loan the last J
of the Liberty Loans comes In April.,
It will be for billions ot dollars to fin- j
Ish paying for the job of freeing the
world. JJut It will be something great
er than that. It Is going to be the
supreme test ot that nationalization
which has sprung out ' the loins of
war.
There are carpers who say that the
patriotism has cooled; that the loan
can't be "put over" on putrlotlc
Ktonn,ds. Thoso harpers are dollar
Americans. To them Carter Glass, our
new Secretary of the Treasury, said
In New York, "We are going to Invoke
tho pat riot lir1 of the American people,
and I am going to do It confidently,
and there Is colng to tie such re- j
sponae as was never witnessed b'.fore ! 1

Two reasons for buying Victory Lib
erty Bonds:
1. To keep the bonds out of the
hands o rich men.
2. To assure good times by letting
the money the banks have go Into in
dustry. If the banks take the loan, In
terest rates go up and enterprise lan
guishes. Then hard times.
Cable the Peace Conference this mes
sage: "America over-suoscriDea ner
fifth and last Liberty Loan by 1,000,
000,000." That's the kind of a message
that means something.
"So you lost your leg In Flanders,"
said a man to one of the boys back
from France.
"No, I gave it," the soldier answered.
Lend your money to your country In
the Victory Liberty Loan.

country to fulfill Its pledge to those
who have been spared as well as those
who have made the supreme sacrifice.
We" have at the present time about
two million men In Europe who must
be provided with all that Is necessary
to keep them In good spirits and con
dition: and when their work shall have
been, finished, they must be brought
home and demobilized. The Govern
ment must make good the contracts It
has entered Into for tne construction of
all war munitions, and for food sup
plies already bought.
Having responded to the Govern
ment's calls In the past, and having
loaned our money ungrudgingly to
hurry forward the men and supplies,
and victory having come to us because
ot this, shall we hesltali for a moment

A copy of the Oregonlan of 1896
tells of 400,000 pounds of wool
shipped from Heppner to Boston and
says: "This wool was all purchased
at prices ranging from 4 to 6
cents a pound by Charles Green for
J. Koshland & Co."
This recalls to Win, Rettle's mind
the time he hauled his wool to Ar
lington and held It In the warehouse
there until the following Chrlsttuuii.
He then went to Portland, sold his
wool for eight cents per pound, paid
the freight on It to Portland and
took a note for three months without
Interest for payment.
There is considerable difference In
these prices and the last price paid
for wool in Condon whlc'h wa 6u
cents per pound. Condon Glb.

"There, now '." said Uliude S., it's
finished, and I'm glad, fur it certainly
has been a hard job, but it looks good,
I'm proud of It, and I'm goiiiH to spend
all my spare time knitting for the sol
diers. They have hard jobs, too, at
times. And when 1 stop to think of
what they are doing for us, It makes
me ashamed of myself for calling this
a hard job. But it's the first knitting
I ever did. And mother says, after I
have tlnished two or three I'll be an
expert. 1 wonder if I ever will; for
when I look closely at this sweater I
can see two drop stitches.
"Oh, dear me! I guess I'll have to
rip this all out again, and pick them
up, and they are fully four inches
back.
"Say, Mabel, what would you do?"
"If it were mine," said her sister, look
ing up for the first time during the
conversation, from the sock she was
about to finish, "I'd simply darn that
place, ami let it go at that. The sol
dier who is lucky enough to get It
won't mind a little thing like that.
And if he does noilce it be will won
der who took the pains to mend It so
neatly, and possibly try to learn who
she is, and what she looks U'.ce."
"Well, to save him the trouble I m
going to write my name and address
on a slip of paper and tuck It inside
Somewhere."
"Better still, put one of your little
pictures in it, just, for fun."
"No, I wouldn't like to do that. Some
fellow from around here might get
It, find think me a fine little goose."
"Oh, go on." teased Mabel, "It might
prove tomantlc, and I'm sure none of
the boys who know us will ever get
It. But wouldn't it be fun If .brother
Bill were to get It himself? He cer
tainly would think you had got to
be 'some knlttr' since he went to
camp."
After much argument the photo
grsph was chosen and tucked away In
a little corner provided for the pur
pose, and the sweater, together with
Mabel's socks, returned to the local
branch of the American Bed Cross,
where It was packed In a box, with
many .other comforts for the boys who
were to remain In a Western camp for
the winter.
In due time the consignment reached
camp, and each soldier received a com
fort kit, in which were many nsefnl
and necessary articles.
One evening a few weeks later as
Bill S. sat writing letters, he was sur
prised to sea his old college chum, Jim
W., reading a newspaper at the other
end of the room, as he had heard Jim
was In France months ago.
"Hello, there Jim, old man, how are
you? Thought you were chasing the
Huns back to Berlin long ago."
"No, I had hoped to be doing that,
but our company has not gone across
yet. We have been transferred here,
and I can't say I like the change, for
It la cold. I think I would have frosen
stiff, only for this sweater I got from
the Hed Cross fits like a glove; and
see what I found tucked In the corner!
Itcnlly, you'll think I've gone crazy
when I tell you I'm In love with her.
I dream of her, take this little picture
out ten times a day nud look at it and
wonder If I'll ever have the good luck
to meet her. Why, what's up, Hill T
Vnu look as though you recognized
her."
But Bill only answered : "She's
pretty, nnd I'm glad you like her.
Hope she approves of you when you
meet. I must get ready and finish my
I letters. I'm going homo on furlough
for eight days, sturtlng tomorrow. I
wish you could arrange it and come
along with me. I've a little surprise
planned for you." "
"What's the surprise? No, you won't
(ell me? All right; I giiens It's some
thing like the pranks you uxed to put
over on the old professor. Ha, lis!"
