The roads are horrible, espec- lly on the Paaschennelo Ridge. "Roulers, a town of 25,000 inh&u- ants, has now but 1,100 civilians ft.

( "We had with us a school mas er," wrote thw Red Cross commis sioner. "When the war begun he uried all his little fortune, an nc tumulatlon of the savings of a lifo- iime in the garden of his house in ttoulers. He returned with our driv er, wondering whether he was a poor nun in his old age or whether he had inough to live on comfortably for ;he rest of his life. He found his kouse burned, his garden ploughed jyith shells nn dno trace whatever of Its money. " 'I will start again he said. It (as a tough thing to find that he had ist everything. While some of the Inhabitants ave been taken away to work," re orted Major van Schaick, "they are the minority. Many thousands, )f course, have been sent back be Mng the German lines. There are jhousands who remain. They need !he holp of the American people." CAMP I.KWIS. Tneoma, Wash.. Nov. J2.

Somj ctcck men still think that Swift & Company and other bi packers can pay as little for live-stock as they with. 6 Soiyjo coi-iGunvsrc aro still led to believe that the packers can charge as much for dressed meat as they wish. This is not true. These prices are fixed by a law of human nature as old as human nature itself the law of supply and demand. When mere penpb want meat than there is rncnt to be had, the Rcrnmblu ft'.Dnj the line to get it for them sends prices up. When these n inoio ncat than Ihtrc are people who want it, the scramble all tilon the lir.e t get rid of it within a few da3's, while it is still fresh, Lcnd3 p; ic 5 ten. When prices of meat coup, Swift & Company not only can pay the produ,:':r more, but I:cs to pay him more, or some other packer will. Similarly, when prices recede all down the line Swift & Company cannot continue l xmy the f reducer the same prices as before, and still remain in tho juidan;; business. Ail the pachar c:tn do is to keep the expense of turning stock into meat t-t : minimum, so that tho con3umoi can get as much as possible fV.T hi3 inoi-cy, end tho producer n3 much as possible for his livestock. Thanks to its : : k.r,:',jj plants, modern methods, branch hous.es, cj?r routes, f)s-;-t of 'icfricrator cars, experience and organization, Swift & Comp.'-ny i ) .'' ! !"'
