BETTER PRICES FOR
CATTLE EXPECTED

tlanta, Aug 11.-Better prices for
Georgia raised cattle and hogs are
expected to follow a government In
vestigation being made at this time
according to Senator VIM. j. Harris
who is here for a couple of days. 1t
was Senator Harris who started the
investigation.
Complaints have been made by
stock growers in Georgia that the
packers paid them from 3 to cents
less per pound than was paid in the
West" said Senator Harris. The
reason assigned was that peanutted
meat was not as firm as cOnfed and
did not command as high price.
Il cred resolution in the Sen
ate, which was adopted, directing the
Federal Trade Commission to make
an investigation and ascertain wheth-
er or not this Southern meat was be-
ing sold by the packers at a lower
price than Western meat, and wheth-
er there is any good reason for dis
elimination. Several investigators
are now in Georgia looking into the
matter.

SWIFT SAYS PACKERS
WOULD WELCOME SUIT

Chicago, ILL.,, Louis F. Swift, pre-
sident of Swift & Co., referring to the
announcement of Attorney General
Palmer regarding the packers, said:
81 would Welcome the opportunity to
plead our case before any impartial
body of men which has so far been de-
MED US. The public has been fed up
we have time of economic conditio
on a lot baseless accusations and we
have made the innocent victims of
economic conditions beyond anybody
control. The increase in the cost of
meats has been no greater than in
most other lines and our profits have
been reasonable.
Il know that this suit will prove
what we have commended all along;
namely that these is absolutely no
combination or monopoly and that the
profit of the packer is only fraction
of a cent pound and therefore has
practically no effect on prices paid
for live stock or received from the
sale of meats"

BUY A VICTORY BOND

and l know my mental condition has
improved for l am learning some
thing which will benefit me in years
to come.
There is no discipline to it except
what you will find at any school. The
teachers are more than willing to
help you and the other students will
show you every courtesy.
If you get sick, Uncle Sam s
doctors will fix you up so you can
carry on and if you get discouraged,
men like Fuller and Mcleod of the
vocational board will try to cheer
you up.
And the last IT, Buddy; if I at
thirty-five years of, age, with aches
and pains all over me, without any
previous education-if can do it
and win out, you can do it also, if
land here's the last if) you really
want to better yourself. So, stick it
out, show you have nerve, take ad-
vantage of Uncle Sans generosity,
enroll, and then plug and win out,
old scout.
Here's hoping this will help you,
whoever you may be.-Carry On.

at that game, believe men.
Then copy of Carry On came to
my hands and I saw what Uncle Sam
promised to do for his disabled SOL
diers and tho / was skeptical, |
thought I'd look into the PROPOSE
ton.

vocational reconstruction man, and
he explained the proposition to me
Well, l enrolled in a school here
in Boston, to take up secretarial
course.
Just think Of it! /, who had al
ways longed for an education was at
last going to get one! And all free
too!
Now do not think that was going
to master this course in few weeks,
Buddy. for 1t just can't be done.
And il it could be done SO easily,
it really would not be worth it,
would it?
But here / am, going to school,
all expenses paid, and all have got
to do is to give Uncle Sam square
deal by studying as hard as can
and showing him that l am in earn
est. Easy, isn't 1t?
There are some who get discour-
aged when they see that there is
some hard work attached to re-
education and they quit.
Well, they are the kind of men
that would quit anyway, and are
not worthy of an education. If edu-
cation were so easy, we would all be
smart.
To gain the great benefits that
Uncle Sam is giving you and me, we
must be prepared to help him as
much as we can.
Now / know just what you are 60
ing to say, TOO darn much Red
Tape" TOO much babying for me; y
Il haven't got the time now" 81
got enough of this discipline stuff, y
etc., because l said all that and more
before ! got wise.
AS for the Red Tape, all business
to be successful must have a system
and you will be surprised to see just
how little Red Tape there is to gain
ing the wonderful benefits of voca-
tional re-education. Try it and be
nvinced.
You may also say, "It's too darn
hard for me to tackle now; am not
feeling well enough; I'll wait
awhile."
Son, If I had waited until felt
WELL, guess I'd never have started
for I guess there Is hardly day
when it Is not darn hard struggle
for me to get my clothes on and start

| l am no hero or anything like one
and SO IL ! can do it-why, SO can
you.
1t takes little bit Of nerve, I'll
admit, to go to work when 1t seems
as tho every nerve and bone in your
body were aching, but IL you just
hang around thinking Of your aches
they only get worse, son.
And which had you rather do, take
it easy, rang around with your
/ friends having good time now, and

bit now and later on take 1t easy?

Expects to Make Fortune

Ed Parrish, who has been living
at Riverside for some time, is nov
ing to Leighton, Utah, where he has
bought seventy acres of dry farm
land, which it is possible to irrigate
by the use of a pumping plant. He
says he has only to lift the water
from three to ten feet, and thinks
he can make a big block of money by
putting it under irrigation. He
bought it for nearly nothing and
thinks it will be worth three or four
hundred dollars an acre as soon as
it is put under cultivation. 1t is
only eleven miles out of Ogden and
he has already refused profit of
$4,000 ON the place, just purchased a

thinks the forty acre tract may not
be large enough for both of them,
but by going into the stock business
