Congress Is getting hack Into the ruts from which thn stress or war lima legislation had pulled It. Time wus In 1817 when a bill could actual ly bo rut-lied 'thru In two or three days. The scmito has been known to let an appropriation bill puss In those days upon a mere reading. Appro priations Uicn-wero counted in bil lions.

POOLE FURNITURE (Successors to Scutt Woolt.) n WJj.fc.j ix-u-j ujmiu'L Swift & Company's 1918 Earnings How They Affected You During the twelve months ended Nov. 2, 1918 (its fiscal year), Swift & Company transacted the largest volume of business on the smallest margin of profit in its history. Profits of the meat business under regulations of tho United States Food Administration were limited to a maximum of 9 per cent on capital employed but not to exceed 24 cents, per dollar of sales. Swift & Company in the regulated departments earned 7.57 per cent on capital employed and 2.04 cents per dollar of sales, out of which had to be paid interest on borrowed money and taxes. Here is how these earnings affect you. Live-Stock Raiser .. Swift & Company killed 14,948,000 head of livestock, which weighed alive, 4,971,500,000 pounds. Swift & Company made a profit of only a fraction of a cent per pound liveweight. Consumer The sales of our meat departments were , 4,012,579,000 pounds on which our earn ings were less than i cent per pound. The per capita consumption of meat in the United States is given as 170 pounds. If a consumer purchased only Swift. & Company's products, he would contribute only about 78 cents a year, or Yz cents a week as profit to the company. Swift & Company, U. & A.
