Swift & Company
Made No Profit
The consumer would
pay only u 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 $68.o7
Per animal for by-products 24.oo
$o3o6
Average Disbursements:
Per animal for cattle on ~
hoof $84.45
Per animal for dressing,
selling and freight 7.32
Net profit per animal 1.2o

counties have used High school boys
on their farms with such satisfac-
tory results that the demand this
year has more than doubled. Per-
sonally we feel that what is true of
boys of other counties will be true
of the boys of this county who are
no less imbued with lofty ideals, cul-
ture and patriotism. We would,
therefore, urge those farmers in
need of labor to give our young
men a trial. In most cases it takes
but few days and often only a few
hours training to develop a boy
into a useful farmland.
I'm case farmer secures labor
through the farm labor manager,
and perchance any one so supplied
should prove useless after a fair
trial, the farmer is in no way COM
PEELED to keep such labor.
Where a number of farmers live
in close proximity and their COM
bined labor needs will total from
eighteen to twenty-four persons, a
farm labor camp, better known as
a Liberty camp. will be established,
where the young men will reside,
and from which they will be sup
piled to the farmers through the di-

INCREASE OF 25
: PER CENT. in R.R.
RATES IS URGED
Raise Proposed Biggest in
History and TO Apply TO
Entire Country

Washington, May 14.-Estimates
made by Railroad Administration
officials indicate that an increase of
at least 25. per cent. in freight and
| passenger rates will be necessary
this year to meet the higher cost
of fuel. wages, equipment, and other
operating expenses, now set at be-
tween $500, 100000 and $3.50. 100000
more than last year.
Recommendation that rates be
raised by approximately this per-
centage has been made to Director
General McAdoo by his advisers. He
is expected to act within the next
six weeks, and to put increases into
effect Immediately. ShippSrs will be
permitted to appeal to the InSerstate
Commerce Commission under the
Railroad Act, and f1nal decision will
be with President Wilson.
Such an increase as is proposed
would be the biggest in the history
of Americ1n railways, as the per-
centage is larger than any ever
sought by the railways under private
management, and would apply alike
to the entire country. Both class and
commodity schedules would be af-
fected.
Work Out New Schedules
Rate experts of the Interstate
Commerce Commission and Railroad
Administration now are at work on
new schedules. Any increases to be
ordered will be arranged in a man
ner to preserve rate relationships
between communities and regions.
officials said to-day, so that in
dustries and commercial interests
will be subject to the same degree
of rate competition as at present.
Passenger fares would be raised
under the plan suggested to about
three cents mile, from the existing
general rate of little less than 21h
cents.
The proposed increase, it is esti-
mated, would yield about 100000
O0O-S700, 100000 in freight, and
$2OO, 100000 in passenger revenues.
Ihls would leave a margin above the
estimated increase in operating ex-
penses eventually, but since the new
rates WOULD not go into effect until
the year is half over, their Weld
would fall several hundred million
dollars short of meeting the antici-
pated deficit this year.
1t is roughly estimated by Rail-
road Administration officials that
the roads this year will lspend be-
tween $500, 100000 and $3.50, 600, 900
more for wages than last year; be-
tween $120, 100000 and $15O,OOO. 600
more for coal, and between $780,
100000 and and $25O,O0O,OOO more
