In Flanders fields the popples blow
Detween the crfosses row on row,
That mar kour place; and In the sky
The larks, still bravely singing, fly
scarce hoard amid the guns beow.

We lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow,

Take up our quarrel wt1h the foe;
To you from failing hands we throw
The torch; he yours to hold It high.
K yp break faith with us who die
We shall not sleep, though popples

B. WILSON, Mgr.
Washington.—America’s success In
the world war has been made "possible
as much by workmen at homo as by
soldiers in France.
America was confronted hy a tre
mendous task when the conflict with
Germany became Inevitable. The sup
plies the allies had required In the
years since 1014 had necessitated con
siderable readjustment of labor nnd
commerce in the United States, hut
with actual participation' in the con
flict much greater changes had to be
made. The work of American laborers
in producing food, munitions nnd cloth
ing enough for their own countrymen
and the allies as well is one of the
greatest performances of the war, or,
indeed, in history of all time. It has
been made possible largely hy careful
organization of the nation’s man power
In order that every ounce of strength
could he employed to best advantage.
The United States employment serv
ice last June was Intrusted with the
great task of mobilizing and distribut
ing labor. Something of the kind was
absolutely necessary, for without uni
fied arrangements for obtaining the
help needed tor war production indus
trial life In America would have been
chaotic..
Europe Sets Example.,
The experience of European coun
tries had illustrated how essential Is
perfect organization nnd co-ordination
of labor power toward successful pros
ecution of a war which places practi
cally whole nations In arms. In the vnrs
of the past, industrial life at home
went on without nny considerable In
terruption ; the armies In the field were
ordinarily not so lnrge that they could
not live on the country If they were
forced to do so.
With the summoning of millions of
men to the colors by all the belligerent
nations, however, the world war of
1914 quickly took on a quite different
aspect The withdrawal of all these
men from Industry proved a tremen
dous shock to the economic life of ev
ery ngtlon.
Germany probably was the best pre
pared ?or the great change, for the
possibility of summoning most of the
man power of the nntlon into warfare
tied been considered more thoroughly
than elsewhere.
France and England, it soon became
apparent, had made serious mistakes.
In France large numbers of skilled mu
nition workers wer$ called Into the
army, and they suffered tremendous
losses when the Germans overran Bel
gium and northern France. Munttloos
output slowed up, and only by the
most heroic exertions were the French
finally able to turn back the enemy at
the Marne. Eventunlly the skilled ma
chinists were called back Into the fac
tories, where they could be of much
better service than even In the first-
line trenches.
England had similar experiences. In
m the patriotic zeal of thousands to en-
m i|gt, tor the voluntary system was re-
m talned In England for about three
m years, Uttle attention was paid to the
retention on essential Jobs of men
whose places hardly could be filled,
The consequence was that railway
workers, miners and machlnlats went
Into the army by thouaanda and that
England’s productive capacity
crippled seriously. Only this year Eng
land waa forced to withdraw 10,000
miners from the army In France. In
order that they might maintain the
fuel supply of the British Isles.
United State* Profits by Errors.
America was able to profit by these
mistakes of the allies, and from the
start organized a war program on the
basts of highest efficiency. The col-
lapse of Russia shortly after America
entered the war, afforded still another
object lesson.
Russia’s collapse, It appears, was
due more to a weakening of mor-
ale at the front than to trouble at
home. Breakdown of the nation’s In
dustrial life was reflected quickly In
♦he morpje of the troops, however. The
whole war lips Illustrated the fact that
It Is. the home army that breaks first.
If a quick military victory la not ob
tainable. Russia collapsed

the Russian people could do nothing
more to carry on the war. Italy was

of Industrial difficulties. Bulgaria and

htmdred and one years old. celebrated
his Inst hlrthdny by chopping wood.
“Just to show that he could still do a
man’s work.” Taylor was born in
Franklin county, Mass., In 1817. In
1843 lie settled In Delta on a little
farm; which hus for the last 75 years
been his home. He has a son, four
daughters, eight grandchildren and 12

The Fanner Receives More Than Five
Swift & Company
This amount is paid to the fannsr for Hve
Block, by Swift & Company alone, during the
trading hours of every business day.
All this money is paid to the former through
the open market in competition with large and
small packers, shippers, specula torn and dealers.
The former, feeder, or shipper receives
every cent of this money ($300,000 an hour,
nearly $2,000,000 a day, $11,500,000 a week) in
cash, on the spot, as soon as the stock he has
just sold is weighed up. (
Some of the money paid to the farmer dur
ing a single day comes back to the company in
a month from sale of products; much does not
come back for sixty or ninety days or more.
But the next day Swift & Company, to meet the
demands made by its customers, must pay out
another $2,000,000 or so, and at the present high
price levels keeps over $250,000,000 continuously
tied up in goods on the way to market and in
bills owed to the company.
This gives an idea of the volume of the
Swift ft Company business and the requirements
of financing it. Only by doing a large business
can this company turn live stock into meat and
by-products at the lowest possible cost, prevent
waste, operate refrigerator cars, distribute to
retailers in all parts of the country — and be
recompensed with" a profit of only a fraction of
a cent a pound—a profit too small to have any
noticeable effect on the price of meet or live stock.
