Of that body In the person Of Will
liam H. ("Billy") Adams.
Quiet and unassuming BY nature,
Senator Adams followed the policy
OF watchful waiting in his career In
the state Legislature Of Colorado, Of
which he was . member for - con-
secutive years. Verbose and spec
tacular orators came and disappear
ed from public life. like soap bub-
bles expanding to their own undoing.
mock reformers with visions OF un-
earned opulence have strutted the
stage In tho senate with "Billy" a.
an amused spectator. and always the
enacting clause has failed to connect
with the subject matter Of freak
bills which have simply been added
to the cataloE OF litter" stored in
the capitol.
As parliamentarian. no super

ample OF the general knowledge Of
this fact may be recalled an event

Labrador Coast Is
Swept by Death

the mission did what was possible I'M
der the circumstances, but they, too,
were stricken, and when the epidemic
had passed its course only eight chill
dren, five women and one man OF the
native population Of 100 were living.
Mad Dogs Eat Human Flesh.
At the outbreak the dead were
buried almost as soon as they passed
away. but when the entire settlement
became Ill, the victims were left where
they died, those who bad recovered In
the meantime being too weak to lay
them under the ground. Households
who had succumbed one by one were
left unburied, and the dogs, who were
unable to procure food because the
hunters had been all Ill, became mad
and entered the cabins, consuming the
flesh from the bodies OF the dead.
When 1t became known that the cpl
demic was raging, some outside assist
ance arrived, and an effort was made
to give the dead Christian burial. The
dogs, however, after consuming the
human flesh, became wild, and 1t was
impossible to undertake putting the
corpses in the frozen ground. The
next best thing was to bury the corpses
at sea. Before even this could be at
tempted the few remaining at Hebron
were compelled to shoot the dogs. as
even the living were not safe from
them.
Iy1,;,o tbio horror of death end srf-
fering was going on at Hebron, like
epidemic was raging at Okak. The
Eskimos, as in Hebron, huddled to-
gether in their small huts, quickly be-
came affected, until the whole pOpula-
ton was either stricken or dead. The
daily death rate was appalling, whole
families dying within few hours. The
mission all the while was unceasing in
ITS work for the afflicted, but they also
fell victims to the disease, which
meant that the Eskimos were left help
less. When the new year dawned only
q few emaciated ESkimos were found
to be alive.
Mode Of Living Is Fatal.
MFR. Perrett said that when the Eski-
mos were stricken, their mode of liv-
ing and environment was against their
surviving AS soon as the Illness fell
upon them they were obliged to take
shelter in the small. stuffy huts. where
| there was neither fresh air nor sun
! shine, and here they remained until
they died.

policy lapses, you may get 1t back
through provisions for reinstatement.
Cash and Loan Values.
After one year the new government
policies will have guaranteed cash and
loan values, also paid-up insurance ana
extended term insurance values. Inc
leash value" of a new government pol
icy Is the amount the government gives
you if you choose to give up your IN
surance. The "loan value" means that
you can borrow money on your pohcy
up to "a per cent of the cash value.
"Paid-up insurance and extended
term insurance values" mean that VI
the new policies, if you stop paying
premiums after one year, the govern
ment allows one of the following OPP
tons: % To remain insured tor
certain time without cost to you. "
To receive a policy for a smaller
amount, which will be paid. no matter
when you die, and on which you VIII
not have to pay any more premiums.
One of the most valuable features Oh
government insurance policy IS that
il provides for the disability or the
holder. as well as for his death. When
for any reason you become totally ana
permanently disabled, you not only 90
not have to pay any more premiums
but the government pays you the fuli
monthly sum called for by your policy
every month, no matter how long you
live.

Delicate Mechanism

Despite it's 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 competl-
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 cent
per pound with costs at minimum.
How can the workings of this deli
cate human mechanism be improved
upon?
Do you believe that Government
direction would add to our efficiency
or improve the service rendered the
producer and consumer?
