UNITED WAR WORK
DRIVE STAGED AT
WILSON'S REQUEST
(By L. Porter Moore.)
It is at President Wilson’s express
request that the seven great war work
agencies are consolidating their efforts
In the United War Work Campaign
of November 11-18 to raise $170,500,000
to be used in continuing the activities
of these organizations.
In a letter to Raymond D. Fosdick,
chairman of the Commission on Train
ing Camp Activities, the president in
dicated his desire that the seven or
ganizations combine their campaigns
and thus secure the greatest possible
degree of co-operation.
"It is my judgment,” said tho presi
dent, “that we shall secure the best
results in the matter of support of
these agencies, if the seven societies (
will unite their forthcoming appeals'!
for funds, in order that the spirit oi
the country in this matter may be ex
pressed without distinction of race or
religious opinion in support of what I
Ib really a common service.
“At the same time I would be oblig- j
ed if you would convey to them from j
me a very warm expression of the gov
ernment’s appreciation of the splen
did service they have rendered in min
istering to the troops at home and
overseas in their leisure time.”
The $170,600,00 budgets realized;
from the coming campaign will be ap-1
portioned as follows:
Y. M. C. A., $100,000,000; Y. W.:
C. A., $15,000,000; Knights of Colum
bus, $30,000,000; Jewish Welfare
Board, $3,600,000; American Library
Association, $3,500,000; War Commun
ity Service, $15,000,000; Salvation
Army, 43,500,000.

No Mystery
in Meat
Some things are so simple
that they have to be explained
again and again. When things
dre obvious, people keep looking
for mysteries behind them.
So it is with the packing bus
iness. The mere size of Swift
& Company confuses many.
Because their imaginations are
not geared up to scale, they be
lieve there must be magic in it
somewhere—some weird power.
Swift & Company is just like any
other manufacturing business run by
human beings like yourself; it takes in
raw material on the one hand and turns
out a finished product on the other.
Swift & Company keeps down the
"spread,” or the expense absorbed be
tween ra\y and finished material, to as
Iowa figure as possible. (If it didn’t
it would be put out of business by
others who do.)
How much Swift & Company pays
for the raw material, and how tmlch
it gets for the finished product, depends,
upon conditions which Swift &
Company does not control.
It depends entirely upon how much >
people want the finished product, and!
how much raw material there is avail
able to make it from.
The profits of Swift ft Company
amount .to less than one cent per pound
, on all meats and by-products—less than 4
*1; onerfourth of a cent on beef.

Birmingham, Ala., Oct. —.—“in my
opinion there is nothing that the Y.
At. C. A. can ask of the people of Ala
bama which they would not give if
they only knew half of the excellent
work being done by yoor organiza
tion,” writes Col. Williami P. Screws,
Commander 167th Infantry (Old 4tli
Alabama), in a letter to Bonfen Burr,
who recently returned from- Prance,
where he was engaged in War Work
for the Young; Men’s Christian Associ
ation. Leaving out expressions of
personal praise, at the request of Mr.
Burr, Colonel Screws* letter is
lows:
“On behalf ot the officers andienlist-
ed men of the 167th Infantry (former
ly the Fourth Alabama Infantry), I
wish to thank you for the excellent
and'valuable work that you have done
with us, and with other American
troops, since your arrival in France.
“In my opinion too much praise can
not be given the* Y. M. C. A. for tho
excellent work they have done and
are now doing for our men over here.
As you know, from personal observa
tion since you have been with us, the
“Y” workers are present in time of
need and get some of the luxuries of
life to the men that they would not
otherwise get.
“As the commanding officer of the
regiment, I wish to thank you per*
sonally for your excellent efforts and
your many deeds of valor and kind
ness shown all through our hard cam
paigns, in which you were present
with us from first to last.”
Alabama residents are to be given
an opportunity to give during the week
of November 11, when $170,500,000
will be raised to continue another year
the work of the Y. M. C. A. and other
welfare work agencies.

Since Its Establishment Twenty-Tliree Years Ago
At a recent meeting of representative Retail Merchants of this
section, resolutions were passed looking to the shortening of all credit
terms at an early date.
This move is a convincing argument in favor of our business
creed-SELL FOR CASH-CREDIT OR DISCOUNT TO NOBODY-
ONE PRICE TO EVERYBODY.
The Cost of Credit—
Who Pays That Cost?- - AH the Store’s Customers
The merchant must add the cost of credit transactions to the.
price of the goods he sells, if he hopes to remain in business. There
fore, it is plain that not only the credit customer, but the cash custo
mers as 'tvell, must pay an equal part of the cost of doing a credit.

People who trade in this store are saved all credit cost. A com
parison of our values with those offered on a credit basis will convince
you that your saving here is one-third to one-half.
