Oh Cattle Prices
Accompany
High Beef Prices

IF consumers are to pay less for
beef, livestock raiserS naturally will
receive less for cattle.
If farmers are paid more for live
stock, consumers will necessarily pay
more for meat.
Swift & Company pays for cattle
approximately go per cent of the price
received for beef and by-products.
The remaining 10 per cent pays for
dressing, freight to market, operation
of distributing houses, and in most
cases, delivery to the retailer. Net
profits also have to come out of this
10 per cent.
This margin cannot be squeezed
arbitrarily without danger of Gripping
the only effective means of performing
the complex service of converting
cattle into meat and distributing this
meat to the fighting forces and to
consumers.
Swift & Company's net profit on
beef during 1917 was only II of a
cent per pound. On all products, it
was a little less than four cents on
each dollar of sales. Complete elimi-
nation of these profits would not affect
appreciably retail prices of meat, or
farm prices of live stock.
Swift & Company will be glad to
cooperate in deviSing methods that
will improve conditions in the meat
and live stock industry.

OUR BOYS
: Write from :
OVER THERE

Many letters are being received at
kcnts Hill from the boys enrolled in
various branches of the National serv-
ice. over 100 names have been added
to the honor roll at the school and
practically every one of these boys
have received some word from the
school. II is the plan of the school
authorizes to send printed lists with
addresses to each soldier and sailor so
that the wherea bouts of all the kent's
Hill men will be known to each Of
them. 4 copy of the school paper has
been sent to each boy also and will
continue to be sent until the end OF
the war
1t is noticeable that letters from
France are Very brief. probably due
TO consideration for the company off
GERS who are obliged to censor and
sign each letter as examined and
passed. One Of the latest letters to
be received at the Hill comes from
Clifford Ferguson, who is a member
Of band on active service in Franco.
He tells Of the receipt of a Christmas
box from the school for which he Is
very grateful He tells of the work Of
the band in furnishing daily concerts
and music for services on Sunday. He
acknowledges receipt of copy of the
New Testament printed in French
from one OF the Seminary teachers.
An extremely interesting letter was
received from Charles Bogart, 1916
baseball captain at the Seminary. He
dwells at length on the wonderful
work being done by the Y. NC. A.
everywhere. He says that the very
best fellows are in the Association and
that the soldiers appreciate the gen
ineness of the cause represented. Many
times the y. NJ. c. A. hut is the only
warm place in the camp, and here, he
says, may always be found plenty Of
chairs and other conveniences. He
emphasizes the fine spirit of cooper
alton that prevails among the men.

Tho Food Problem"

Mr.. Clifford Pinchot puts his finger
on the vital contingency in this
worlds struggle, the food supply. 1t
is not the heaviest batteries nor the
largest armies that will determine the
result Of this war so much as the
crops. Give our soldiers and our peo-
pie enough to eat and the other neces-
saries for triumphant warfare can be
supplied indefinitely.
The reports of the shortage of food
in Austria and Germany, if they are
true, more than offset the military
operations that have brought seeming
advantage TO the Central Powers III
Ital, and in Russia. Mr.. Pinchot fore
sees the possibility that this years
crop in this country will he less thar,

il spells disaster. We must produce
food and u large surplus Of 1t and
must have the ships to convey this
surplus 10 our soldiers and our allies

The British have at least million
men on their part of the line. with
large reserves to fill vacancies behind.
The French have close to another mil
lion with at least one class, 100000
men. to replace wastage. In other
words, the Germans. so far as their
East and West fronts are concerned
have not enough men available to give
item any zeal numerical advantage.
iiave they the troops behind. This is
exceedingly unlikely, given what we
know Of their promptness in calling up
and using the younger classes. They
are always at least one year ahead OF
the French in this respect
Therefore, if the United States could
have 500,pGG men ready to fight next
May. these would give the Allies a de-
Cisive advantage III the West. They
will not have such a force ready and
therefore the numbers will be APP
proXimately equal. Accordingly, Ger
many can attack, since her foes will
not attack, pending the arrival of the
Americans on the line. Thanks to
Austria, thanks to her great captures
Of Russian artillery in the summer and
italian in the fall with huge stocks Of
munitions, Germany may have an ad-
vantage N guns. The possession Of
superior artillery did not get her Yer
dun nor win for her at First Ypres.
The Allies will certainly be able to
make great counter concentrations, II
the first Gelman flood be checked.
On the foregoing statement of the
situation 1t seems to me that all belief
that Germany is to have overwhelm-
ing advantage in numbers, is idle. On
the contrary. but for the transfer Of
French and British troops to Italy, she
would probably be slightly outnum-
bered, as she surely will be when any
large American force gets up. Her
chance, her advantage. it would ap-
pear, lies rather in artillery. She prob
ably will have more guns, possibly
more munitions. These are Il great
factor, Of course. They might prove
decisive, bh. they didn't at Nerdun. SO
much for numbers and the transfer of
troops from East to West. All told.
Germany has now at most 100000
men on all fronts. In the West she
can hardly have more than 100000
present and eventually available. while
her foes certainly have 100000 men
now on the line.
