Packers Helped Feed Armies.

The part played by America III
feeding the allied forces in Europe Is
given in the 1919 Year Book of
Swift & Company, which has just
been issued.
In 1913 these products shipped
abroad totaled 590,359,769 pounds
more than three times the amount
shipped in 1914, the first year of the
war The pork product shipments
totaled 1851, 454,529 pounds a.
against 921 ,913,029 in 1914-an in
crease Of SO per cent.
During the year ending November
1, 1918, Swift & Company alone
shipped 760,000,000 pounds Of meat
and meat products to the American
army and navy at home and abroad
and to the allied nations for their
armies and civilian populations
The Year Book says: This amounts
to about $4,000 carloads of meat
which would make a single train
200 miles long"
"The packing industry was able to
adapt itself to wartime demands
perhaps more quickly than any
other industry. War demands have
of course, caused many changes in
methods and have made it necessary
for us to increase our facilities in
many respects.
''For example, when the United
States entered the war, there de-
veloped a demand for canned bacon
for shipment to our soldiers over
seas. Swift & Company Immediate
ly took over semi-completed soap
factory and within thirty days had
installed the necessary machinery
and was filling Government con-
tracts. More than million pounds
of bacon week have often been
canned in this factory. This means
that our soldiers have been getting
fine, cured, smoked bacon, whereas
the Allies have been demanding only
salt, unsmoked bacon, which does
not have to be canned.
Wnen the government round II
necessary to have large quantities OF
butter, which it had bought for over
seas shipment, put into cans. Swift
& Company, alone among the big
butter handlers of the country, was
willing to install the necessary
equipment, and in the course OF
three weeks, under the most un-
favorable circumstances, began can
ming butter for the Government. Up
TO the time this Year Book goes to
press, we have put up some three
million pounds of butter owned by
the Government and also two mill
lion pounds which we have gathered
for the Government, making total
of five million pounds of butter that
have been put up in tins"

Mr.. Taft Strong For League or
Nations.

"All who have pressed for a
league of nations to maintain peace
and prevent war must thank God as
they read the provisions, of the con-
stitution of the league upon which
the nations in conference at Paris
have agreed" says former President
Taft, in copyrighted editorial in
the Philadelphia Ledger.
President Wilson is to be warmly
congratulated that the league of ma
tons which he promised to the
harassed allied peoples in his mes
sages and has urged before the con-
ference, has taken such form. :
1T is real league 1t has clinch-
ing and cinching provisions" Mr..
Taft maintains in an able and COM
prehensive analysis of the covenant
which combats the criticism and
should dispel the doubts of oppo-
nents of the league.
The statement made in some
quarters that the constitution of the
league as agreed upon nullifies the
Monroe Doctrine. is sharply cnal-
lenged by Mr.. Taft.
Nov that President Wilson
brings back to us real league, and
has fully made good his announced
purpose, it would greatly please this
country if the Senators could give
him unanimous support" Mr.. Taft
concludes. "The fourteen nations
have done SO, why not the Senate?
Such action would be heard around
the world with acclaim"

Politicians tongues are wagging
following the admission of Speaker
Champ Clark, at a banquet Saturday
evening, that his hat is in the ring
for the Democratic Presidential
nomination. When the POSTMASTER,
in a rhetorical outburst, referred to
him as "the next President OF the
United States the Missourian
promptly responded: 'tBarkis is
willin'"
A formal announcement of the
Missourian is looked for before long,
and this is causing other prospective
candidates to begin to show signs of
activity, but all of them probably
will await clearing UP of the inter-
national situation.

Chairman Sherley of the House
Committee on Appropriations has
the earnest support of President
Wilson in his effort to induce Con-
gress to adopt the budget system OF
handling the Governments money.
Since his election the President has
advocated a budget in lieu of the
present system of making appropri-
atoms. Mr.. Taft before him favored
a similar plan. There is a strong
sentiment for budget in Congress,
but it has never been brought to the
point of capitalization, although
the national platforms of both the
Democratic and Republican parties
have declared for it.

On July /, 1918, there were in
the field 6,216 extension workers,
including 5000 county agents, q
O34 home demonstrations agents,
and 1,1S1 boys and girls club
workers. More than 100000
farmers were in organizations form
ed to assist county agents in their
work, and an equal number OF
women belonged to community clubs
or centers organized by home dem
onstration agents. These represent
atives of the Government and the
several States teach the farmer te
select seed, fertilize land, cultivate
his crops, manage his livestock and
reduce his costs. Women on the
farm are taught the art of prepar-
ing, drying and preserving fruits
and vegetables and are grounded in
general home economics.
The results of this constant CO
operation of the Government with
the agricultural workers are mani.
fest in a larger production per acre
and in a promise of still bigger in
crease in the average yield. In the
midst of the war, with labor scarce
high costs for seeds and implements
and unfavorable weather, American
farmers were able to produce
enough to feed not only their owr
countrymen, but also the peoples o.
Europe.

To onlookers in Washington the

To onlookers in Washington the
striking fact of the contests between
Republican leaders in Congress for
the leadership is that it is not a
question as to whether or not the
Old Guard or Progressiyes will DOM
mate. It is conceded that the Old
Guard shall boss the House and the
Senate.
The cunning leaders of the Old
Guard claim the credit for the vic
tory at the polls in November, and
are going to take the fruits of It,
They concede nothing to the Pro-
gressives.
No matter who is elected Speaker
of the House, he will be of the Old
Guard. or the Aldrich-C Cannon type
of Republican of fifteen years ago
All Of the first rank committees
in the House will be headed by men
whose sympathies were with Speak
er Cannon and his little coterie OF
reactionaries.
Penrose, in the Senate, has prac-
tically announced that he will have
the Craftsmanship of the Finance
Committee OF kick UP such a rumpus
that no other Republican will gel
anything.
The Democrats go out and the
Republicans go in. The Progress.
sive leaders will be eliminated, and
the same old crowd that was in the
Republican temple before Uncle Joe
Cannon was endorsed will ride
again.
