AMBER,
(Star TwIrIsr Of Chicago Cubs, Who
Has Been Draftsd.I
In the great game for the democrati-
zation Of the world we must do our ut
most during the full route Of nine inn
ings. We made good in the first two,
so let's exceed our speed In the the
Third Liberty loan inning.
We at home. who are denied a place
In the trenches, can strike out Prus-
sian tyranny with binding curve Of
money. Pitch the dollars In for Amer
lea for the freedom Of the seas, the
protection Of the weak and the tri-
umph Of right over might.
Every ballplayer and every fan
should open his purse and lend his saw
ings to Uncle Sam, who will pay you
good interest and guarantee payment
with the length and breadth. Of the
greatest country on earth.
We must not rest one minute until
America and Its allies have put the
Hun In last place. Nothing can bring
this result quicker than good American
dollars, each Of which is q nail In the
coffin of Kaiserism.
Get together, boys. Let's win the
Liberty pennant with the Liberty loan
In the Third Liberty loan inning.

Where Liberty
Bond Money Goes

approximately 100000 more men
will be added to Americas fighting
forces within the next few months.
Each man must immediately have
clothing and equipment that costs
tbout $3.50. Therefore, II will take
$225. 100000 to provide the initial
equipment of arms and clothing.
There are about 27.000 men and Of
icers In an army division. To supply
them with shelter tents costs $40, $50.
To buy their steel helmets takes $751;
600. To give them gas masks requires
$S24.000. This means $26,925. 900 for
such equipment for the 100000 men
who will soon be added to the fight
Ing forces.
Everybody knows that army shoes
are the most comfortable and the
cheapest that can be bought, but when
they are bought by the millions they
mean lot Of money. General Perish
Ing says that each man needs about
nine pairs year. One pair costs S.
10. One $50 Liberty bond will buy
one mans shoes for q year. To buy
shoes for 5000. 1000 men takes $751;
100000.
Food.
The addition Of 1,500,0O0 men will
mean that America must provide food
for approximately 100000. II costs
$3.50 a year to feed one soldier, so the
nation must provide fund of $780,
100000 to feed our army during the
coming year.
AIrplanea
Airplanes are one Of the most i'm
portant and expensive items Of our
fighting equipment. One aviator used
from five to eight planes a year, and
for every flyer there must be 40 men
on the ground after the machine Is In
commission. Every thousand feet of
lumber used costs sos, and 10000. 900
feet a month are needed, which totals
sum of $1,050,OOO. The planes
needed cost from $1,000 to $4,000
each, and the service needs at least
10000 of them. Appropriations thus
far made for them have been $64O, OOO,-
600 and $450OO0.O 600 more is needed.
Rifles.
Rifles make a large item In army
expense. The average life of a rife on
the fighting front Is nine days. One
Enfield costs $1,000. We are shipping
100000 rifles to France every month";
at cost Of $4,S75,OO0. For a year
that means a total Of S5S,50O,000.
One hundred rounds Of rife ammu.
milton costs SIS. To provide 100000
men with 100 rounds each would cost
$15.OO0,0OO. A seven-day's barrage fire
along a front of 1000 yards costs
$63, 791 ,235. This represents the cost
of nearly 100000 shells Of all sizes
and descriptions.
The average cost Of drafting one
man-changing a civilian into a sol.
dier-is $4.93. To add 100000 more
men to the service will cost $685., 900
This represents the cost Of the work
Of the 1857 draft boards.

A Business Should be
as Big as Its Job
If bigness is of benefit to the
public it should be commended.
The size OF a business depends upon the
needs which that business is called upon to
serve A business should be as big a. its
job. You do not drive tacks with pile
driver-or piles with tack hammer.
Swift & Company's growth has been
the natural and inevitable result OF ma
tional and international needs.
Large-scale production and distribution
are necessary to convert the live stock OF
the West into meat and by-products, and
to distribute them over long distances to
the consuming csnters of the East and
abroad.
Only an organization like that of Swift &
Company, with its many packing plants, hun
dreds of distributing houses, and thousands
of refrigerator cars would have been able to
handle the varying seasonal supplies OF live
stock and meet the present war emergency
by supplying, without interruption:
First-The u. S. soldiers and the Allies
in Europe by shipping as much as 800 car.
loads Of meat products in a single week!
Second-The environments in the United
States.
Third-The retailers upon whom the
American public depends for its daily
supply Of meat.
But many people ask-Do producers and
consumers pay too much for the complex
service rendered.
Everyone, we believe, comedies the eff
cheney Of the Swift & Company organization
lin performing big job in big way at 4
minimum Of expense.
Swift & Companys total profit in 1917 was
less than cents on each dollar of sales of
meat and by-products Elimination of this
profit would have had practically no effect on
live stock and meat prices
Do you believe that this service can be
rendered for less by any other conceivable
method of organization or operation?

Mrs r. R Moss is chairman of this

ticles or money at her home in Co.
