Meat Must Be Sold
Fresh meat is perishable. It
must be sold within about two 4
81 weeks for whatever it will bring
...~ A certain amount Of beef is
frozen for foreign shipment but
I domestic markets demand fresh,
chilled, unfrozen beef
Swift & Company cannot in
crease prices by Withholding meat
because it will not keep fresh and
salable for more than a few days
after it reaches the market
Swift & Company cannot tell
at the time of purchasing cattle,
what price fresh meat will bring
when put on sale. IF between
purchase and sale, market condi-
tons change, the price Of meat
must also change.
The Food Administration limits our
profit to g per cent on capital invested
in the meat departments. This is about
2 cents per dollar of sales. No profit
is guaranteed, and the risk of loss is not
eliminated.
AS matter of fact, meat is often sold
at loss because of the need of selling it
before it spoils

She was arraigned in general ses-
sion court yesterday. Her two sons,
both OF whom are in Government

It was said to be probable that the
eases would not come up for hearing

That the activities Of the society
we're investigated after a request
from Washington was stated today
by f P Kilroe, assistant district at
torney. He said:
Mrs. Story's counsel, Mr.. Mooney,
is quoted as saying that Mrs. Story's
Indictment Is the result OF a fight in
the Daughters OF the American Revo-
luton at the time she was president
Of that organization. and that il is
due to the attempt of a number Of
people In Connecticut TO get revenge
for some action that occurred in that
organization.
washington requested the district
attorney of New York county to in
vestigate Mrs. Story's activities. That
Was last December. We Immediately
aseertained that the society was not
being conducted along lines required
by law.
1--WE got into communication with
Mrs. Story's counsel. George Gordon
Battle. who was also counsel for the
spciety, and notifed him Of our dis
cpveries. There were several confer
ehces between Mr. Battle and Myself,
and Mrs. Story was requested by Mr..
Battle, so I am Informed. to desist in
her activities. but she refused. Her
conduct was such that II became i'm
perative for the grand jury to take |
sction."

TREES AND SHRUBS FOR PARK
Those That Produce Colored Fruits
Should Always Be Given Prefer
ence, for Many Reasons.

The guiding principle in park plan
ming should be beauty, but it should
not be temporary or one-seasonal
beauty. Hence it follows that shrubs
and trees which produce colored fruits,
and retain them for long periods, are
preferable to plants whose chief deco
ratNe contribution is short burst
Of bloom. Such shrubs are hand
sOmer at all times after Towering and
are particularly valuable in winter
when every bit of color in the land
scape is precious. They are valua-
BILE moreover in supplying bird food.
A few suggestions as to the use of
fruit-producing plants are not out Of
place. The ideal American park is
natural woodland, modified and embel-
lished, or planting that follows nat
ural lines. Informal treatment is al
most universally preferred to formal.
From the standpoint of bird attraction
this is fortunate, since clipping shrubs
either prevents or reduces the pro-
duction of fruit and causes the plants
to form such solid and dense sur
faces that they are uninviting to
birds.

We find a grand selection, but it is
difficult matter to secure the provision

II only we could press upon the people
the necessity to secure for themselves
