' " ** ~ "" "" \jUSyb/ 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.

If you suffer from backache; head aches or dizzy spells; if you rest poo - ly and are languid in the morning; if the kidney secretions are irregular, and unnatural, do not delay. In such cases the kidneys qften need help. Doan's Kidney Pills are especially prepared for kidney troubles. are recommended by thousands.

D. Pittard, of Cassville. Somewhere in France, Sunday, May 12, 1918. Dear Mother: Today every American .soldier in France lias the opportunity that pos sibly he will never have again, writ ing to mother from France and hav ing special right of way over all oth er letters, so they will go across the deejNdue sea in record time. The V. M. c. A.'s all iiave said they would have plenty of paper in every ' Hut.'' on that day, so no boy will have an excuse, if one should happen to feel that way about it. 1 will try to write you a short but brief description of France, as 1 hard ly ever have time to sit down and write a letter of this kind. A description of France is not the easiest thing in the world, but still it can be done. To begin with the pea pie of the United States cannot ap predate the conditions which are brought to bear on the civilian popu lation of France who have undergone and patiently borne the burden of war’s tremendous demand. Large forests and vacant lands are not found in France. Every bit of av ailable ground is in cultivation and resemble parks. They are neat aref pretty, and always you see not wire or rail fences, but little stone walls about three or four feet high separat ing the farms, although in America they are entirely too small to be called farms, instead they would be called gardens or smart 1 truck farms. Farm lands are pretty, but- in mv opinion they have to take a back seat in comparison., to the vineyard country, for this is a most pleasing sigh. Along rivers and on hill sides you will find the vineyards. From the distance they resemble steps cut irto rhe slopes, but a closer view shows the vines planted in rows and climb ing wires from three to four feet. One of the best ways of seeing this is traveling the river roads, which I have had an oportunity of doing for good many miles, the roads as a rule follow very close to the waters edge with a curb stone of cement, and a row of shade trees between you and ihe ri' which is very pretty. Here ! you see the prettiest vineyards in the world. Coming out of the country into the cities the streets begin to narrow and cafes begin to appear. Little chairs and tables very much like those you use in ice ceram parlors, placed ar- Qund in small parks near the cafes and under the front awning openly in vite the passerby to take a seat aid indulge in a moderate beverage. The Frenchmen like their wines, and there is always a good supply to be found, but you will never see a Frenchman dodge behind closed doors and com? out drying his lips with his handker chief. No, every thing is open and this demands moderation for the cafes are open to women as welt as men. When you board the train the doors open front the side of the car and are marked Ist, 2nd. and ?>ri class, and you buy your ticket ac cordingly. The doors open opi>osite each seat that runs the full length of the car except a passage for the eon- The country is beautiful to say the least of it, and to the American who is accustomed to observing the arrange ment of the American parks will cer tainly And it altogether different over here. The French parks are beauti fully planned and set off in keeping with the other odities of the cities here. The first thing that one hisses is the absence of large front yards, poarches, terraces, and hedges. It is not because they do not exist., for they do, and that in: prersion soon fades away, once y-.-u have visited a family. In going down the narrow streets one wonders how the French can live without a bit of green, to break the monotony cf man's construction of -stone and cent ent, but when you come to a long stretch of masonry, you know that be hind those walls beautiful little frag rant gardens flourish. Really Fra ce is a country which cannot be seen by merely traveling through the conn try, it is to be seen from the inside. Some of their most beautiful parks are closed in by cement walls. Going out into the rurtl districts one travels pn the finest roads in the world. They are not only good as in regard t.c their surface, but they are beautiful. Trees are planted in each side, at an even distance apart, and you neve: seen anything as unsightly as a bill board. You never see signs reading sc many miles to “So and So/’ Drug Store, the Best in Town.'' Instead you see pretty it tie stones marker), so many kilometers to various place*. dustor, whom you seldom see. The flagman and brakeman carry small whistles and blow r ior signals, which is quite amusing to the American sol dier who is used to other signals. The box cars are very small and remind me of the ones used in mines, bm. they deliver the goods just the same. On account of the scarcity and the price of leather many people are foie ed to wear wooden shoes, which is very amusing when you hear them walking on the pavements, but when you think about the cause of them wearing them and the hardships they have undergone in the past four years, you are the best sympathizer they have. lam geting along fine and have been ever since I came over and an: glad I am over here doing my bit. All the hoys that you know, that are with us, are well and alright. Write me often for all soldiers are always anxious to get mail and especially from mother. Your son, SAM. SAM M.

H. FIELD. T HE CONQUEST OF THE TRAC TOR While American guns are raking T.e Boche, American tractors are win •.:ing a closely delated and truly de cisive battle here at home. At least one hundred thousand of them, thf Waycross Journal-Herald informs us "are chugging away on American farms, doing the work of not less than two hundred thousand farm hands and eight hundred thousand horses.” What an invaluable econ omy of labor and time! The dearth of farm help is distressing enough as it is, but conditions would be incom parably worse were it not for these efficient labor-saving machines. Last summer, government reports indicate there were hardly more than fortv thousand tractors in use in this coun try. By the end of the pesent year, it is expected, upwards of two hun dred thousand will be in use. We are doing what the British did earlier in the war when the future duoked particularly threatening to their food supply. Thousands of factors were imported from the Unit ed States; they were equipped with giant head lights so that they could work by night as well as day; they were set going across great expanses of land which had remained unfilled for lack of labor; and by the next bar vestide English fields -were fat with plenty. Similarly gratifying results were obtained in the same way in France. The tractor was a mighty hefp in beating the U-boat scheme in a season of peculiar stress. Its part in the future of American agricultu.e. that of the South, is incalculably im portant. As it is helping to win the war, so will it extend and enrich our empire of the soil in the peaceful years to come.—Atanta Journal.
