Swift & Company cannot In

because it will not keep fresh and

after it reaches the market
Swift & Company cannot tell
at the time of purchasing cattle,

purchase and sale, market condi-

must also change.
The Food Administration limits our
profit to 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

Bless the Seas with your myriad ships,

Call them forth to the longing seas,
| Flaunt their sails to the urging breze
And bring the Hun to his begging knee:
In his cursed Danger Zone!
Set the sails of your Outward Bound
America, my own!
For sure as We send DER the outward
track,
Ye shall bring your strong sons HON

To the hearths and homes that shall
know no sack
OF the Hun and his Danger Zone.
Put out. put out, good sesmen all!
Good builders, ply your trade,
Never for us the sable pail,
And Liberty dead IN the Council Hall.
By Iron and Blood shall the debt be
paid,
That we owe for the lie and the das-
tard raid
The tortured child, and the ravished
maid,
And the Hun trail over all.
Caress the Seas with your myriad ships,
America, my ownl
Nor sleep nor rest shall the builders
know:
Till out of their hearts of oak shall
grow,
Like Galeons bold of the long ago,
The Fleets Of the Danger Zone
Oh. leal and true are your Children

And Hope is the rainbow arch that
springs
OF Iron and Steel and the Fires wingsl
Oh, Brothers Of Men, how the strong

UNITED FORCES
SEEKING FARM LABOR
Liberty Loan and Red Cross Campaign
ers Now Join in Hunt for
Wheat Harvesters.

Organizations that so successfully con.
Quoted the third Liberty loan and second
Red Cross campaigns are now working
in cooperation with farm help special
lists of the United States, department
of agriculture, in many cities to find
workers with farm experience to help
farmers harvest the wheat crop. Other
organizations in cities, towns and viii
lagos are also uniting their efforts TO
aid in this work. If the wheat is to be
saved, and other needed farm work
done, there must be closer cooperation
between the town and country, accord
! ing TO the department of agriculture
| Non-esseBtial industries must permit
their employees, who have had farm ex-
perience. 10 go to the country and help
during the harvest season.
Commercial organizations should Sc.
cure pledges from men who are willing
to devote few days or weeks Of their
vacation in the harvest fields, and should
see that these men are placed when and
where they are most needed, suggest Off
cials of the department o. agriculture.
City Y. M. c. As athletic clubs and
country clubs should open their doors to
these men and give them an opportunity
to take physical exercise that will pre-
pare them for labor in the fields And
woman's organizations should volunteer
to go to the country and help prepare
meals for the army harvest laborers, and
in other ways tighten the tasks of their
rural cousins for the organization of the
various forces in the state, 80 that the |
needs of the farmers may be met an an |
adequate way.
1t is recognized that many men now |
would in their present condition be un-
able TO 60 into the fields and withstand |
severe labor. 1t was therefore proposed
and arrangements were made at the
KANSAS City conference for all such men
who register for farm work to take
special course in training under the di
rection Of the Kansas Oty Athletic club.
Here is an opportunity for similar clubs,
Y. M. c. AS and county clubs of other
cities TO render definite service In con-
nection with the farm-labor problem, say
department. officials.
When this army of harvest laborers
IS taken from the cities to the harvest
fields a large additional force will be
needed in the farm homes to prepare
meals for them. Ii is estimated that in
Kansas alone $4,000 men win be taken
o the harvest fields. With this in mind
( was recommended at the Kansas City
conference that campaign be waged
o enlist women Of the villages, towns
nd cities to go to the country and as
list the farm women in their work as
nen are assisting the farmers 1t was
cit by all that 1t would be possible to .
ecure the service of many thousands I
f women to assist in this big work. In
many instances there are school boys 7
nable to pitch wheat, who could be v
sed to peel potatoes, carry water, wash Q
ishes and help in other ways, and it was Y
tanned to enlist large number of such I
oys to assist in this work.
