No Mystery
in Meat
Some things are so simple
that they have to be explained
again and again. When things
are obvious, people keep looking
for mysteries behind them.
So it is with the packing bus
iness. .'The mere size of Swift
& Company confuses many.
Because their imaginations are
not geared up to scale, they be
lieve there must be magic in it
somewhere some weird power.
Swift & Company is just like any
other manufacturing business run by
human beings like yourself; it takes in
raw material on the one hand and turns
out a finished product on the other.
Swift & Company keeps down the
"spread," or the expense absorbed be
tween raw and finished material, to as
low a figure as possible. (If it didn't
it would be put out of business by
others who do.)
How much Swift & Company pays
for the raw material, and how much
it gets for the finished product, depends
upon conditions which Swift &
Company does not control.
It depends entirely upon how much
people want the finished product, and
how much raw material there is avail
able to make it from.
The profits of Swift & Company '
amount to less than one cent per pound
on all meats and by-products less than
one-fourth of a cent on beef.

The following letter was received
recently by W. E. Hiatt, of Kelso
Wash., from bis son, Emery, who en
listed from here and is now iu
Battery A, 147th Artillery:'
Dear folks: Will write you a few
lihrs to lot you know that I am well
and feeling fine again. I was rather
under the weather for a while, I got
too careless (but never again) and
was caught in a ges attack without
my sp.? mask, but I am all right now.
I didn't go to the hospital as most
of them do for gas but managed to
stay right on the guns and fire and
am still with them now, but ,lt was
all that I could do to get about.
The aircraft guns are just going
after an airplane. We see all kind
of sights, sights that I will remember
as long as I llye and before long I
will be telling them to you. A person
can't Imagine what war really is until
they experience it.
Old Fritz plays pretty rough with
us every once in a while but we sure
make him "hunt his hole" to and
sometimes we keep him there for a
long tlma too.
I have been thinking of sending
home a German helmet. . I can get
all kinds of them and if I get where
I can send it I will do so, but I do
not want a souvenir too large.
We just moved our positions which
is a great deal better than the one
we just left. We had five men
wounded there but not very badly.
Oh yes, our Captain saw the gun 1
shoot kill some Huns today. It hit
right in a bunch of them. The more
the better.
Will close with love.
EMERY HIATT.
Under date of Sept. 1st, Emery
also writes his folks at Kelso,
stating thflt lie is as well as ever.
It will soon be a year since he went
over to France from Old Oregon, and
lie has had some real experience in
:hat time. Emery says:
It is raining and I suppose It will
now keep it up. We have had swell
weather up to now. for our victorious
drive. We arc on another front now
and are having great success, taking
a great sumber of prisoners. We are
here as Gen. Pershing's choice or
picked troops. He says our Div
ision is one of his best. We are not
in the same Division as formerly,
but at any rate when there is some
great objective this is the Division
that bears the brunt of most of the
attacks. We were to have gone
back for a rest but were needed on
the offensive and here we are and I
have not even wii time to write uaui
today. We came here overland aud
believe me it was sure some l.ise.
It seems when they have a icug and
hard trip I am always put to u.e
dii.ihg and 1 was in the saddle i6
hours without a r;st. Imagine iuai.
and since we got here I have bieu so

whenever tlu-y get a chance, iuey
say they didn't think there were
"-aily so many Americans over here,
aud a whoie lot iwe that I cau l

FROM A'.Y
Mr. and Mrs. J
city are in receipt cf a
ic!.::-s recently iV-;;,
Alvah, who has been iu trance i'uriJ
nearly a year past. The first ieuc-r P
was dated Sept.. 2 2, 'and at thin time
Alvah was laid up in a hospital,
3u!'ering vviui a boil on his uui,
which pet mad'j it airaost iuuioicD.o
for him to write. When he wioLe it
ivas raining a.-?I.i. or rather was con
tinuing to rain as it seemed to Uj
aiiiing most of the time and the
weather was cool, with nice moon
light nights who.i the clouds hatf
moved away. Continuing, Alvah
says:
Utceived your letters of August 4
and 18 and there are two or three
mat l naven t got yet. We move
abi.;iit so much that It ' makes our
mail very irregular in reaching us.
We just got back from the front.
Was in the fight Sept. 12. I suppose
you read all about, it. That makes
about three for me so far. I came
out OK and am feeling pretty well
with the exception of a slight cold
and my boil. I just had this fixed
up and it will be aii right In a few'
days. They have a pretty fair Y. M.
C. A. here In this town a nice place '
to rest and write letters. Am sorry j
there isn't much fruit there this year
and I was in hopes you would have a ;
lot on hand when I got home. Have
done without for a year and guess I
can do without for a while longer if
necessary. It will soon be a year
since I joined the army, and may be
another before I get out, but I hope
not.
ALVAH.
Under date of Oct. 4, Alvah writes
further:
If I can get my pen to working, I
will write a few lines to let you
know that I am alright. The boil ou
my arm is just about well now. They
sent me to the hospital with It over
a week ago, but I was marked "duty"
today,. so suppose will soon be back,
with my company. This Is a very
nice place, nothing to do but stay in
bed and have our meals brought in to
us. We stay in bed most of the time,
too, as we have no clothes only
pajamas, so we stick around pretty
close. It seems pretty nice to have
a good bed to sleep in once more and
I have certainly been making use of
it the past ten days. The only thing
I don't like Is, they seem to think if
a person doesn't work he should not
eat. We get enough for laying
around In bed all the time but I
know I could eat more if I could get
It. I ara not kicking, though, for I
have had a good rest and am feeling
fine.
Would like to be home and help
with putting in the crops this fall.
From the way things are looking now
I will likely be home by next fall
anyway, if not sooner.' I see by the
papers that the Liberty Loan has
been over subscribed already and it
only has. just started. The people
seem to be anxious to subscribe.

Clenn Mcl'errin Gets Shell Shock
iind Gas.
Writing on Oct. 2, from a Easi
Hospital Somewhere in France, Glenn
McFerriu gives an account of him
self. The letter is addressed to his
mother and he says:
I am in the hospital. I got shell
shocked and a little gas and my
nerves are all unstrung. My lungs
and heart bother me, but mother
don't worry for I think I will be all
riflit. I have boon up to the front
and over the top twice and it is not
so exciting as one would think and I
(rfvc thanks to the Savior that he
guided me through that battle.
I will sure be glad when tho war
is over and when we can come home
it will be one of the happiest days of
my life. I shall be glad when I hear
from brother Guy and know how he
pulled through.
We are treated well In the hos
pital. The Red Cross gave us a
lot of good things. I saw my old
friend Albert Crewdson the other
day, the first time since I left the
States. I would be glad if some of
the boys around there would write
mo some letters for a letter over hero
is like a $5 treat at home.
