Army Makes Record Meat Purchase

Army Makes Record Meat Purchase.
Chicago.-The largest single order
for bacon and canned meats in the
history Of the world-99, sec, 900
pounds of bacon and 134,000000 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 1,900,-
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,OO0000 for
the necessary hogs and over $4,000, 0OO
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 II
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. y

OLD CUSTOM REVIVED.

One incident of the harvest re-
vival in Britain is a picturesque re-
newal of an ancient custom of the
wheat fields that never has won a
foothold on our American Grain
lands where nature has been too
free-handed to allow the need Of
cleaning. Our own vast acres, har-
vested with mechanical perfection
and piling their wheat sacks IN
mountains beside our huge thresh-
ers, would smile with disdain upon
The women and children bending
and bobbing over the cut fields, gath
ering and sorting the few left stalks.
Throughout the centuries, however
since Ruth's time and long even be-
fore that distant period, the CLEANER
and the cleaning have evidenced OF
of the pretty charities of the harvest
season. Sometimes it was a charity
by right of law and at others mere
ly by permission of the land owner
and always it was a test of the farm
er's heart. He who wished to re-
main blind to plentiful supply Of
gleanings in his field was the one fol
whom thanks of the poor went up tt
heaven.-New Orleans Times-Pica

PORTABLE eELGGAN TOWN.

On the slope of hill near Havre,
France, a typical Belgian village is
being built by the American Red
Cross. The houses are all to be port
able. In course of time the en-
tire village will be moved to Bel
GUM. Every house is being built
so that it may be readily taken down,
shipped and reassembled.
There are to be two schools with
Belgian teachers, a Belgian priest,
Belgian civic officials and large CO..
operative store. The inhabitants,
who will move into the village as
soon as the buildings are complete,
will be 100 families Of refugees from
Belgium, who are destitute and who
have each at least four children. The
cottages will have electric light, run
ming water, gardens and will rent
for Sc month. Those who cannot
pay rent will be provided for.
This important reconstruction
work is one of the first large tasks to
be undertaken in the rebuilding Of
devastated Belgium

JAFFA AWAKES TO NEW LIFE
Results of British Occupation and
Modern Administration Already
Being Felt in Ancient City.

.Jaffa, since its Liberation by the
British army, has begun to take on
new life The populace is trickling
back into the city. Over year ago,
the Turks, in a mood of spitefulness,
drove out the civil population. Those
who were fortunate enough to take
refuge in the south of Palestine have
had time, since the British occupa-
ton, to return to their homes, which
have been damaged but little.
Jafa is still largely collection
of mean and dirty houses. But it
has escaped the horrors of war and,
to some extent, has been even EN-
bcIlished during the past three years
The British authorities have intro
duced measures Of. cleanliness and
order They nave cleared a road
through to the port and have re-
stored, in part, the commercial ac-
tivity of the people. One Of the new
avenues which runs through the
town is the work of Jewish con-
tractor and engineer, and was appar-
emily prompted by desire to emu
late the boulevards of the Jewish
suburb, Tel Aviv. Tel Aviv has suf-
fered less than Jaffa, though it is
not yet restored to the whole of its
eager lie.

Merchants Association Meets

Good roads and newspaper
advertising were the principal
topics of discussion at Monday
evenings meeting of the Lam

and while all did not agree that
newspaper advertising was the
only means that need be en-
ployed, it was generally admit
ted that it was by far the best.
Several members, who do adver-
tlse told of securing direct re-
suits from their publicity.
The good roads, as applied to
the surrounding countryside,
was considered such a vital
matter that it was decided
efforts should be made to CO.
operate with the various town
ship committees with a view to
securing home improvement of
highways without state or
county aid. By resolution the
acting president named George

and Theodore G. Kitchin as the
committee to take the matter up.

League of Nations.

There is an organization in
/ this country which Is headed by
ex-president William H. Taft,
favoring a League of Nations to
secure peace. ldent Wilson
has declared League of Ma
tons to be one of MS fourteen
onditions on which peace may
be founded. The Allied Powers
have declared for a League of
Nations in the existing arm
istice with Germany. So that it
would seem that out of horrible
conflict of the war that is now
over, when peace is established,
that a league of Nations is rea-
sonably certain to secure and
maintain the same.
1t is possibly too early, it is
certainly not the best time to Sc
cure a lasting peace while the
demonstrations of triumph and
rejoicing are yet so prominent
in the minds of the people. 1t is
a problem to be approached with
caution, but at the same time
our minds should be prepared
for its accomplishment. And we
are not ready to settle the ques-
ton as to who should participate
in that League and how the
same is. to be maintained until
we take at least sober second
thought, but would it not be we'll
to give this thought consider
alton, that no nation may be so
weak and insignificant as not to
need the support of the League
and possibly no nation so
thoroughly bad that it should
not be subject to its control.
And let us all bend our thoughts
and our hopes not as to how the
League of Nations shall be con-
trolled or who may be President
of the world, but for just and
true fulfillment of the poets
vision:
''F'or | dipt into the future, far
as human eye could see,
Saw the vision of the world and
all the wonder that would be;
Saw the heavens fill with COM
merce, agosies of magic sails,
Pilots of the purple twilight,
dropping down with costly bales;
Heard the heavens fill with
shouting, and there rain'd a
CHASTITY dew
From the nations airy navies

Far along the worldwide whis-
per of the south-wind rushing

With the standards of the peo-
