National and Local
Meat Business
The meat business of the
country is conducted by various
agencies—
By small slaughter-houses
in villages—
By local Abattoirs or small
Packing Houses in towns —
both
Using only a part of the
local live stock supply
and
Furnishing only a part of
the local demand for meat.
These slaughtering and distributing
agencies fill a well defined but neces
sarily restricted place in the distribu
tion of the products of live stock.
But only packers like Swift &
Company, organized on a national
scale, are able to undertake the ser
vice that is more vitally important,
involving
An Obligation to the Producer
To purchase for spot cash all the
live stock the producer may send
to market for slaughter.
An Obligation to the Consumer
To make available to every con
sumer, everywhere, in season and
out, the full supply and variety of
meat products, of the highest
standard that the market affords.

GIRLS! LEMON JUICE
ISJKIN WHIIENER
How to Make a Creamy
Beauty Lotion For a _Few
Cents
The juice of two fresh lemons
strained into a bottle containing
three ounces of orchard white makes
a whole quarter pint of the most re
markable lemon skin beautifier at
about the cost one must pay for a
small jar of the ordinary cold creams
Care should be taken to strain the
lemon juice through a fine cloth so
no lemon pulp gets in, then this lo
tion will keep fresh for months. Ev
ery woman knows that lemon juice is
used to bleach and remove such
blemishes as freckles, sallowness and
tan and is the ideal skin softener,
whitener and beautifier.
Just try it! Get three ounces of
orchard white at any drug store and
two lemons from the grocer and
make up a quarter pint of this sweet
ly fragrant lemon lotion and mas
sage it daily into the face, neck,
arms and hands, advt.
Never in the history of the country
were the people called on to pay such
huge taxes, buy so any bonds, stamps
and answer other demands. But
when we entered the war we did not
expect to come out with our feathers
unruffled. A scar is a badge of honor.
Have you been scarred?

save for victory, to buy War Savings Stamps,

MR. 0. E. SMITH SAYS LET
THE COMMISSIONER ALONE
Mr. Editor: Will you give me space
that I might put a few thoughts be
fore the people of the county for
their consideration before the legis
lature meets.
Now, Dr. Mays has given notice of
a bill creating a board of three com
missioners. The doctor should with
draw that bill. The people, by an
overwhelming vote, last fall showed
that they were satisfied with the pres
commissioner, and in the recent pri
mary, when one of the cleanest and
most upright Christian gentlemen in
the county was defeated, it gave
strength to the fact that Mr. Gaston
is a choice of a majority of the voters
of the county.
Now, why should we not submit to
the wishes of the people, and let one
legislature meet and adjourn without
having to arbitrate a question for
Butts county that has twee been set
tled?
I, as one who voted for Dr. Mays
when he was elected, respectfully
ask him to vj’hdraw this bill. This is
no defense for Mr. Gaston, as he has
proved in the past that he is amply
able to take care of himself. Nor
have Ia political axe to grind, as you
will see from the vote he received in
my home town, that a supporter of
his takes his political life in his own
hands and walks through the valley
of death alone.
Respectfully,
EVAN SMITH.

Congress proposes to tax profiteer
ing out of big business. Possibly the
plan will work all right, but there is
a chance that big business will pass
the tax on down to the ultimate con
