Army Makes Hecord Meat Purchase.

Army Makes Record Meat Purchase.
Chicago.-The largest single order
for bacon and canned meats in the
history of the world-99, $50, 600
pounds of bacon and 134, 100000 pounds
Of canned meat-has just been placed
by the Quartermaster's Department,
U. S. A., for the American Army over
seas.
Louis f. Swift, in commenting on
this today, said the order will take
the bacon from approximately 1900
600 hogs, and if other work were
dropped to produce it, would be equiv
alent to the total bacon production of
the five largest Chicago packers for
nearly five weeks. However, six months
will elapse before delivery is to be COM
pleted. Mr.. Swift said:
"At the current prices on the day,
last week, when the purchase was
made, the packers would pay the live
stock producers about $S0,000,000 for
the necessary hogs and over $50,O00000
for about 100000 cattle required. The
cattle will cost us twice as much. and
the hogs two and one-half times as
much as In the pre-war period.
The whole order will be made up be-
fore the first of the year, despite the
fact that, even before this purchase.
one-fourth of the packers facilities
have been devoted to filling military
demands. In order to get out the
canned goods the packers will find it
necessary to employ night and day
shifts of Gamers. Notwithstanding
the fact that the products are being
rushed forward thus hurriedly, not a
single complaint has been received on
meats delivered to the armies abroad.
The five packers are now killing
about 100000 hogs weekly to keep
abreast Of martial and domestic needs"

 No bills will be rendered, however, at a less amount than that which is calculated for the maximum amount at the rate of the preceding block.
 In making this increase, your Com missioners have given the matter careful consideration and find that because of the excessive increase of the cost of labor and all material entering into the manufacturing of gas, it is impossible to sell the prfd- uct at the present price. It is hoped that this increase will be but temporary, for, as soon as conditions warrant. the price will be reduced.
