Oxford Eagle,
Oxford, Miss.
Dear Editor;
| promised to write you something
of my excursion trips but the wealth
er is almost too not to do anything
now in this part of France. Let me
saw here how much l have enjoyed
the two copies of the Eagle ] receiv-
ed last week and it was like getting
two big letters from home.
l will tell you something of my
trip to the ancient city of Mines
about 40 miles from here. 1t is no
figure of speech that called Rome the
Eternal City," Although buried I'M
der the debris of centuries the bones
still protrude in various places and
ways all over this country as though
the grave is too small to hides such
monster skeleton. Nowhere is this
so evident as in the city of Mines,
which is probably richer in well-pre-
served antiquities than any other
town in France, or Northern Europe.
The city now has a population of
some 75,OOOy, It's founding goes back
further than recorded history, but was
brought under sway of Rome by the
conquests of Caesar, and one after
another of the Roman emperors
strove to make it beauty spot

Delicate Mechanism

Despite its scope Swift &
Company is a business OF in
finite details, requiring infinite
attention.
Experienced men must know
livestock buying with a knowl-
edge of weight, price, the amount
and quality Of meat the live
animals will yield.
Each manufacturing operation must
be done with expert skill and scientific
precision. A highly perishable product
must be handled with speed and care
to avoid loss.
Chemists, engineers, accountants,
and other specialists are required to
take care of our intricate problems.
Alert wisdom and judgment must
be used in getting stocks of goods into
the open channels of demand through
our four hundred branch houses.
Branch house organizations must
show activity and energy to sell at the
market in the face of acute COMPETE
ton from other large packers. and
hundreds of small ones.
All these requirements ofintelligence,
loyalty, devotion to the task, are met
in the personnel of Swift & Company.
Yet the profit is only a fraction of a cent
per pound with costs at minimum.
How can the workings of this deli.
cate human mechanism be improved
upon2
Do you believe that Government
direction would add to our efficiency
or improve the service rendered tho
producer and consumer?

IOWA USING LESS COAL.
Strike and Decreased Consumption
Cuts Output 100000 Tons.

Des Moines, Dec. 26.-Approxi
mately 100000 less tons of coal
will be consumed in Iowa in 1919
than were consumed in 1917. Ed
ward Sweeney. state mine inspector,
bases this prediction on a report just
received from the United States de-
partment OF the interior. in which c.
Il. Lesher tabulates Iowa coal con-
sumption in 1917. The report was
off the press ten days ago. The 19l
report will not be ready until the fall
of 1920. SO the figures in the 1917
report are considered latest avail
able governmental mine data.
Mr.. Sweeney says that the report
shows that in 1917 Iowa imported
5,99S,OO0 tons Of bituminous coal
from other states. OF the S,965,S3
tons Of bitumincus coal mined in
Iowa mines 3,8S7,501 tons were
shipped to and used by Iowa in
dustries and domestic consumers in
cities. There were $4,000 tons of
Iowa coal shipped to other states.
Railroads in Iowa consumed 4,633,-
329 tons of Iowa mined coal.
The total tonnage Of Iowa coal
used in Iowa by consumers other
than railroads added to the ton
mage received from other states,
gives a total Of 9,SS5,501 tons. OF
this amount. 9.446,061 tons was
consumed by industries and for do
nestle purposes.

Curbing Twenty-Year Fire.

Jerome, Ariz., Dec. 26.--The fire
which for more than twenty years has
burned in the upper levels Of the
United Verde copper mine, here, is
about to be eliminated by a drastic
process of lowering the entire sur
face of the property to a 400-foot
level. All attempts to extinguish it
have failed.
It is the general opinion that the
fire was started by slip in the rock
producing sufficient friction heat to
ignite the ores rich in sulphur. 1t
has burned its way thru VEINS of cop
per, gold and sulphur.
The process ofsuppressing the fire
involves the removal of 100000
yards Of material. The area to be
excavated is roughly estimated at 400
by 800 feet. Monster steam shovels
are to be employed in the work. ;.
1t is expected that the task Of re-
moving the entire top of the mine and
extinguishing the fire will occupy sew
eral years.
