Packers’ Costs and Profits 9 How much do you think it costs — 1. To dress beef, cure hides, and prepare all the numerous by products ? 2. To cool the meat for twrp or three days before shipment? 3. To freight it to all parts of the country in special refrige rator cars, iced daily ? 4. To carry it in hundreds of branch houses, each with its refrigerating plant? 5. And to deliver it to the retailer sweet and fresh —in less than two weeks after dressing? Swift & Company did all this for you in 1917 at an expense of less than 2V2 cents per pound of beef sold, including an average profit of Vi of a cent a pound.

HENRY COUNTY WEEKLY, McDONOUGH, GEORGIA SOLDIERS’ SWORD ARM OF NATION If We Fail in Our Duty Boys in France Cannot Achieve Victory. LOAN MONEY TO UNCLE SAM Buying Liberty Bonds an Investment in Lives of Americans “Over There” and an Insurance for Safety of Our Country. By CORRA HARRIS, (Author of “A Circuit Rider's Wife,” “Eve's Second Husband,” Etc.) During the Thrift Stamp campaign in July, 1918, a prominent citizen was sent into a backwoods farming com munity to arouse the people, and if possible sell Thrift Stamps. He was not expected to have much success with the sale of stamps because the people were very poor and illiterate. The effort was to be chiefly educa tional. The speaker found a dingy company of farmers and their wives waiting for him in an old field schoolhouse. He began Ills address with argu ments for the support of the govern ment reduced to the simplest forms. No one seemed to listen. The men stared straight ahead as if they liad something else on their minds. The women fanned themselves and looked out of the windows. He changed his manner of speech to an impassioned appeal; no one was moved. He paused perspiring before nftking a last despairing effort. But before he could go on a tall, gaunt farmer stood up in the buck of tlie house and waved his Jiiind beseechingly: “Mister,” he said, “if you are done talking, give us a chance at them Thrift Stamps so we kin sign up and get back to the field.” He gave them the “chance.” They bought nineteen hundred and fifty dollars’ worth of stamps, although there was not a man among them who owned property to tlie amount of two thousand dollars. “We own this land,” the farmer said, addressing the prominent citizen grim ly as he passed up the last pledge card, “we own all this country. The govern ment at Washington belongs to us; we made it and it is ours. The army in France is ours, too; they are our sons. We sent sixty-two hoys there from this district, and I reckon we know it is our duty to work for them and take care of them while they are busy whipping them Germans.” This is the best, most serviceable and intelligent definition of patriotism I have heard since this war began. Victory at Any Cost. This is the most expensive war ever known, still beyond our imagination to conceive of. The enormous destruc tion wrought by the submarines, the terrific sums spent for war materials, the loans to our allies, none of these things account for the incredible ex pense. The real explanation is that civilization demands that it shall cost everything. Never before has any na tion spent so much to insure the health of its soldiers, never before have such provisions been made to safeguard a great army morally. More is being spent to equip hospitals, provide am bulances, nurses and doctors to care for the wounded than whole campaigns cost in former wars. Never in tlie his tory of man lias such provision been made to insure widows and orphans and soldiers from the after effects of wounds and poverty. Formerly wlien a man entered the army to fight for his country, his country took his life, and that was the end of it if he ivas killed. Now the government pays, and pays enormously, for every man who lives or dies in this struggle. Alt this is so because as a nation we have developed a sense of justice and honor that re gards any and every expense as sec ondary to the one tremendous obliga tion to its citizens. Our allies were compelled to fight Germany to preserve their very exis tence, but we chose to fight lifr when we might have made a shameful treaty with her that would have insured a shameful peace, because wt are not a craven grasping nation, but a nation built upon ideals, and it cofts more to preserve an ideal than it eier costs to preserve peace, because iou cannot buy them —you must achieve them. Nothing stands between the world and this catastrophe but tie American people, their honor, their ttiergy, their fidelity and their wealth. Our troops in France are only tlie arm of tlie nation. \Ye. the peo] le at home, are tlie body and life of that army. If we fail at all, they mist fail en tirely. We are about to make mother loa i of six billion dollars for v ar expenses It is not a gift, but an Investment we make in the lives of Ame ican soldiers and an insurance we takl out for the safety of our country.

The new-formed signal company had just assembled <>n parade, and the O. C. was classifying his men for their various duties. “Fall out any opera tors,” he shouted. A number of teleg raphists promptly stepped to tlie rear, but the (>. C. was surprised to notice Sapper Black among the party. “Are you a competent operator?” in quired the O. C. “Yes, sir,” was the immediate re s-ponse. “And your speed of working?” “Five thousand feet per hour.” “Five thousand what?” roared the O. C. “Telegraph operators don't send messages by tlie yard!” “Perhaps not, sir,” replied Black; “but, you see, I’m not a telegraph op erator; I’m a einematog-<ph operator.” —London Answers.

Tlie girl—well, the girl was there, too. They had just completed the fifth (lance —three couples and some thirty odd girls—and they had strolled out on to the balcony to rest. He, just out of high school, and she, out of high school also, but a little farther out, occupied the end of the rail, and a long line of fluffy pink and white with scarcely a touch of relieving black stretched on out the length of the portico toward tlie lake. “So,” iie said, beginning tlie conver sation, “you are from Indiana?" “You’re mighty right,” she answered. “Hoosier girl.” He stuttered and stammered. “Why —er —really—” he said, “that is, I don’t know —I mean I haven't decided yet who.” —Indianapolis News.
