rREco COUNTY MAKES GOOD

Trego County went over the top
this week having safely reached it
quota of $7,950.O0 in the United War
Workers campaign. This money was
raised by the assessment plan and
seemed to work fine many voluntary
county has not at any time failed in
her Liberty Loan or Red Cross work
and can feel justly proud that she has
SO far gone over the top every time
with more than the amount assigned
her. It shows true and loyal spirit
the very spirit which enabled the
allied nations to win the war.

laughter and amusement. An auto

most interesting as well as amusing
as also did an auto race on a per-
fectly smooth road with numerous
expert but decidedly reckless drivers.
Before the guests departed Mrs A.

spoke of the happiness that the peace
proclamation had brought and how
the clubs and club women rejoiced
for they all have so willingly cooper

A woman living IN this town has
devised what she thinks would be
adequate punishment for the crimes
Of Bill HohenzoIlern. She would con-
fine him in a dark dungeon and COM
pei him to look at the movies every
waking hour of his life but the only
picture she would permit him to see
would be an endless film whereon
should march constant procession
of crippled soldiers, starving children,
strangIed babies, sinking ships and
drowning women No one should
speak to him and no living thing,
plant or animal, should he be allowed
to see, but always ceath-open graves
and fostering bodiers or bleaching
bones upon the floor of the sea.
Of course we are all glad to know
that the war is over but many of us
have feeling of regret that it is like
ly to end without greater material
punishment of the rulers who brought
on the war and the peoples who more
or less blindly followed them and
furnished the men and money in fur
therance of their selfish ambitions.
And there are thousands who will
have a feeling of disappointment that
they will not be permitted to have a
part in the great world war and
chance to "even up" on the crimes of
autocracy. Perhaps it is just as well
or better that the war shall end with
out further bloodshed. Vengeance is
sweet but it will not make crutches
for cripples nor bring back the dead.
Some time ago request was made
in this column that some one would
kindly explain what a tracer bullet"
is, and here comes the explanation
from Toronto, Canada, by Geo. F.
Pearson, who gave US the princess
Pat" lecture last summer. He says a
tracer bullet is fused by airmen in
machine guns. About one in every
ten bullets leaves a trail of smoke be-
hind it to indicate how close the fire
is going to the enemy plane
Sister Smile says she got a wire
other day. He wants her to send him
helmick but she can hardly think of
knitting any more because she feels
so elevated over the close OF the war.
What is so perfect as a day in
June2 Well. an Indian summer day
out here in Western Kansas beats the
June variety away beyond the regis
tration power of any climatic meter
devised by mortal man; witness the
super-perfect days and the naoonlit
nights we had recently. Here it is
beyond the middle of November. The
gold fish only today have been taken
from the fountain pool in the court
house park and housed for the win
ter IN parlor aquarium So far only
light frosts and mild freezing wealth
er has come and under the half-clad
trees these short November DAYS the
grass is growing greener and more
luNuriant than anything the longest
and most perfect day in June could
boast. Bright, mild, calm and peace
1ul-who can imagine more perfect
days! 10 be sure, "the robin and the
wren have flown and from the shrub
the jay" but we still see an occasion
al flicker and the seed pods from the
honey locust call the fox squirrels
from their winter homes, and so we
walk through the park on its velvety
carpet of leaves and grass and recall
the environments of childhood with
fond ina p-inirors

Unlike Topsy-
Swift & Company
Has Not Jest Growed"

Swift & Company, m fifty years of well
ordered growth, has become one of the
great national services because it has
learned to do something for the American
people which they needed to have done
for them. IN the way In which they
preferred to have it done.
1t has met each successive demand, In
the changing conditions of national life,
by getting good meat to increasing mill
lions effectively. efficiently, economically.
and expeditiously.
The Swift & Company packing plants,
refrigerator cars, car routes, branch
houses, organization. and personnel of
today are the practical solutions, born of
practical experience, to the food problems
of half a century.
Because of all these elements working in
correlation and unison, Swift & Company
is able to supply more and better meat to
more people than would have been pos
sible otherwise, at net profit per pound of
meat so low Ga fraction of cent? that the
consumer price is practically unaffected.
Strip away any portion of this vast.
smoOth-running human machine, and you
make a large part of the meat supply
uncertain, lose the benefit ofhalf a century
of fruitful experience, and scatter the
intelligent energies of men who have
devoted a life work toward meeting the
needs of a nation in one vital field.

AND NOW THE SWISS.

Report that the Swiss Federal
Council, in company with the Swiss
commander in chfef and his staff have
been in session considering q remark
able demand just made by the Swiss
Federation Of Labor for the immedi-
ate demoblization Of the Swiss army
may be another significant straw. Al
though in the midst OF the war; yet
out Of it, Switzerland has had to bear
a staggering burden in the cost Of
maintaining a state Of defense and
IN the withdrawal Of her man power
from industries In fact, Switzerland
has suffered nearly everything in the
war except actual bloodshed and de-
struction. In the maintenance Of its
strict neutrality, despite its dual Ian
guages and races the Swiss govern
ment has been assisted by the general
fear OF being drawn into the conflict
which until now has been deemed
justification for the mobilization of the
army and all that means.
It is difficult to conjecture wha
may have led the federation OF Labor
to this demand. II may be that aftel
the Teulonic invasion of Italy and The
fact that Swiss territory has beer
respected thus far they no longe'
