Swift&Company
Made No Profit
The consumer would
pay only IA cent a
pound less for his
dressed beef.
If Swift & Company
waived all profit on
cattle, and gave it to
consumers in the form of
lower beef prices, this
would reduce the cost
to the average consumer
less than25 cents per year
for all the beef he eats.
In fact, the packers pro-
fit is so insignificant that
if surrendered to the con-
sumner the effect upon
retail meat prices would
be practically nothing.
It is because of the
volume Of meat hand
led that the investor
in Swift & Company's
business receives a satis-
factory return upon his
money.
These figures for 1917
are convincing:
The profit of $1.2o
per head averages
IA cent per pound
on dressed beef
Average Receipts:
Per animal for beef S6S.e7
Per animal for by-products 2409

Average Disbursements:

WAR MATTER AND OTHER
PROPAGANDA AND THE PRESS

The administration, the Council Of
Defense and the various conserva-
ton departments are sending out cir
culars. communications. letters Of In.
structlon and other related matter
every week to the newspapers to give
Information to no public and to A.
rouse the people to greater patriotic
effort.
The He'd Cross department re-
oulres volumes OF publicity and all
these things bring to the newspaper
offices vastly more matter than an
ordinary paper can possibly use.
Then comes three or four separate
agencies connected with the educa-
tional. agricultural and Industrial in
terests OF the state all wanting space
for publicity.
II these agencies would conaoli-
date and send fewer documents and
not overlap In their activities. It
might be possible to give them some
consideration, but rs II now comes,
the publisher doesn't like to dlscrim
mate and the result is that most OF
the stuff goes to tho waste basket
and some OF II Is hardly nj for that
Along with these hundreds OF let
tiers 10 crowd the mails and in re-
qulring printing, stamping and mail
Ing out. we get letters from the pack
cries trying to explain themselves
out Of the hot water into which
Food Commissioner Heney has
plunged them. This Is for the special
benefit Of the packers. then comes
circular telling about the change

ance company together with a story
Of It's solidarity, all matter Of public
information and marked "Immedl-
ate Release" Plain simple adyertls-
Ing, but no check with It, consc-
quently It is Immediately released
and goes to the junk pile.
American publishers arc devotins
columns Of space every week to war
propaganda. Glad to do It, and will
continue to do It TIL the war is won
and democracy saved, but no paper
can use all the stuff that comes and
have anytime or room left for news
matter and the line has to be drawn.
He will use what he can and II has
been suggested that fdwer clerks
could easily send out all the govern
ment matter that can be used thus
saving clerk hire, printing expense
and mail facilities. Then when II
comes to the department agencies
now rushing extension work. wei,
we can only promise to use some Of
duplicated matter after the war Is
over. and the special interests would
como nearer getting their stuff print
ed in the country papers II some
bona flde arrangement Is made to
pay for It at regular advertising
rates.

privilege of entering Germany anc l Austria
 Let no false sense of pity, let nc neurotic sympathy for the criminals be created in this country by false leaders, who, under pro-German in- fluence, would seek to save Germany from due punishment
 Justice to the men who have died on the battlefield; justice to the millions and the tens of millions of broken hearts, broken because of Germany's accursed war; justice to the womanhood dishonored as never before in human history; justice to the mangled children; justice to all the civilization of the future if civili- zation is to be reality, demano> that the unceasing cry should go throughout this land that until the armies of America and the Allies march millions strong down the streets of Berlin and Vienna and Constantinople there should be no word of peace. To do less than this would be a reflection upon all that we term justice and would be crimin- al weakness instead of justice.
 President Wilson understands the feelings of the American soldiers, of the French soldiers who have wit paccad their homac 1vivoc dauUh tars and children fall before the ravages of the Huns. He intends that the Ger mans must pay and will pay. His note of inquiry to Prince Max was merely to ascertain if the German govern ment intended to pay now or if the Allied armies must secure payment by force.
 ON TO BERLIN AND COMPLETE SURRENDER is the slogan of the Americans, of President Wilson and every soldier in the fight. The assass ins, murderers, the looters, the free hooters, the outragers, the manglers of children, the cringing towards who have found that their power is gone have sought to save themselves from utter destruction.
 The not to Prince Max was care fully worded, it conveyed a sinister meaning. It promised no indemnities.
 Prince Macmillan represents the German government. He also repres- ents the German people. It is all the one and same thing. Once we thought the German people were not to blame for the conditions existing. This delu- sion has vanquished. The people of Germany are as barbarious and treach- erous as their Kaiser and Von Hin denburg.
 Whatever the answer of Prince Maximilian to President Wilson one thing is sure and certain. Allied troops will enter German territory and the city of Berlin. This is their right by conquest and can not be denied.
