The State Council of Defense is
being pressed to call attention to all
the people of the need for reading
matter for the soldiers in camps and
at the front. 1t costs so little to
send magazines-just one-cent
stamp for each. No wrapping, no
addressing is necessary. The thing
is to remember to do it yourself and
to remind your friends as well. And
send the magazines while they are
still fresh and clean.
If you want to do something that
VIII help a lot, tell everyone you
know and everyone you don't know
to put stamp on their magazines
and put them in the mail box. If
you could see how these men stand
around the mail room waiting for the
magazines you would realize how
many dollars worth Of pleasure a
stamp can give.

High Cattle Prices
Accompany
High Beef Prices

1t consumers are to pay less for
beef, livestock raisers naturally will
receive less for cattle.
1t farmers are paid more for live
stock, consumers will necessarily pay
more for meat.
Swift & Company pays for cattle
approximately 90 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 Ia of a
cent per pound. On ali products, Il
was 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.

Nominate These Men

Both the Republicans and Democrats have contests in the pri.
mary for freeholders. Three men are in the race on each ticket,
whereas only two can be nominated
There is a Perth Amboy man running on each of the tickets 1t
is highly important that both are nominated, and elected, toe.
Up until a few months ago Perth Amboy was entirely without
representation OF the county board. Yet Perth Amboy pays one
third of the county tax. 1t has been a case of Perth Amboy put up
the money and have New Brunswick and the rest of the county spend
it, Needless to say, mighty little of it ever came here, although the
countyhas paved practically all the main streets in every other place
from Roosevelt to Cranbury.
When the courts upset the freeholder election last year and
ruled that the board must consist of seven members instead of five,
two additional ~freeholders were appointed, both from Perth Amboy,
one a Democrat and the other a Republican.
1t was tardy recognition but it was only just.
These two Perth Amboy men, who have been members Of the
board but a few months, are up for denomination. Taxpayers who
want to see a square deal for Perth Amboy and the northern end of
the county will see to it that both these men are nominated. They
are Chris Jorgensen on the Democratic ticket and William F. Hnker
ON the Republican ticket.
In whatever primary you vote be sure you put your mark OPP
poite the name of one II the other of these names.
