Why Compare Beef and
Coal Profits ?
Swift & Company has frequently stated
that its profit on beef averages only one
fourth of a cent a pound, and hence has
practically no effect on the price.
Comparison has been made by the Federal
Trade Commission of this profit with the
profit on coal, and it has pointed out that
anthracite coal operators are content with
a profit of 25 cents a ton, whereas the beef
profit of one-fourth of a cent a pound means
a profit of $5.00 a ton.
The comparison does not point out that
anthracite coal at the seaboard is worth at
wholesale about $7.00 a ton, whereas a ton
of beef of fair quality is worth about
$400.00 wholesale.
To carry the comparison further, the 25
cent profit on coal is 3 ! / 2 per cent of the
$7.00 value.
The $5.00 profit on beef is only IV4 per
cent of the $400.00 value.
The profit has little effect on price in either case,
but has less effect on the price of beef than on the
price of coal.
Coal may be stored in the open air indefinitely;
beef must be kept in expensive coolers because it is
highly perishable and must be refrigerated.
Coal is handled by the carload or ton; beef is deliv
ered to retailers by the pound or hundred weight
Methods of handling are vastly different. Coal is
handled in open cars; beef must be shipped in
refrigerator cars at an even temperature.
Fairness to the public, fairness to Swift A
Company, fairness to the packing industry, demands
that these indisputable facts be considered. It is
Impossible to disprove Swift & Company’s state
ment, that its profits on beef are so small as tohavs
practically no effect on prices.

HAW CREEK.
Well, the peace treaty has
been signed, whereof we are
glad and thankful of. We
should be more thankful now
if any difference than before
the war did end because we
know that the good Lord has
heard His children’s prayers
and has seen heir tears and has
granted their request, so we
ought to be humble before him
who has done so much for us.
So if we want peace to contin
ue we will have t keep hum
ble and He has promised to be
with His children to the end.
But if we become exalted the
Lord has told us that we shall
be abased. So you see what
has happened to Germany be
cause she had become exalted
and the Lord has abased them
and exalted His people. Let us
treat them right tho’ they have
done so bad, yet the bible tells
uo if thine enemy hunger feed
him. So they are asking for
bread and we ought to help
them if we can by so doing.
We might heap coals of fire
their heads. Germany may be
come our best friend. Hope so. j
There was no service at this '
place Saturday nor Sunday be- 1
cause of the rain and no Sun
d£.y school. Let us try again as j
the poet'said, keep working &
never say fail.
Mrs Mullinax is real sick at
this writing. Hope for her a j
speedy recovery. The rest of
the sick are betteer.
The littlee 3 year old child
of Mr Anglin of near Buford ?
was buried at Haw Creek last
Sunday, Rev. Vaughan conduc
ted the funeral service. We ex-|
tend sympathy to the bereaved
family for the Lord only’ can
comfort a broken heart.
I think our young men ought
to take more interest in church
service than they have for their
parents have been so bad both
might not to have to go to Ger
many, and it seems the Lord
has heard their prayers and
has made a way for their es
cape. But there are some boys
who don’t seem to care how
much trouble they cause their
father and mother, but time
will come when they will be
punished for it all. Be sure yur
sins will find you out. So let us
all both old and young try to
do better in the future than in
the past. - A Subscriber.

A SAFE TEST
...For those who are in need of
a remedy for kidney troubles
and backache, it is a good plan
to try Doan’s Kidney Pills,
They are strongly recommend
ed by many people in this vicin
ity.
D. S. Sheppard, prop, of saw
mill 8 Weeks St., Decatur, Ga.,
says: “I have used Doan’s Kid
ney Pills off and on for many
years and have found them in
valuable for kidney trouble. I
had to get up often at night to
pass the kidney secretions and
they were scanty and painful
in passage. I felt drowsy and
worn out, too. I took Doan s
Kidney Pills and thy cured me
of that tired feeling and put my
kidneys in good working order.
When I feel the least return of
the trouble now, I take a few
doses of Doan’s and they never
fail to fix me right.
Price 60 cents at all dealers.
Don’t simply ask for a kidney
remedy—get Doan’s Kidney
Pills —the same that Mr. Shep
pard had. Foster-Milburn Cos.,
