GOOD SAMARITAN OF EUROPE
Switzerland Surely Has Earned Right
to That Title From War-Stricken
Nations Surrounding Her.

Since the battle of Morgarten in
1915 Switzerland has blazed the trail
toward human freedom as the "Good
Samaritan" Of war-stricken Europe,
says Frederick Dossenbach in Ameri-
can Review of Reviews.
The Helvetian republic was born
at the end Of the thirteenth century,
through desire for emancipation from
autocratic despotism, when she scrap
heaped the divine right of kings. The
very pact (known as the "Vow Of
GrutliO which the ancient federates
swore to on that quiet spot, the Grutli
on the classic lake of Lucerne, on the
first day of August, 1901, embodied the
great principle of "the right of those
who submit to authority to have a
voice In their own governments"
There the old Swiss proclaimed self
government against the autocratic rule
Of the Hapsburgs.
Since those early struggles Switz-
erland fought fiercely and unfalter-
ingly to maintain her liberty and
independence until following the Ma
poleonic wars At the congress of
Paris in 1915 the European powers
France, Great Britain, Russia. Portu-
gal, Prussia and Austria-formally
and authentIcally acknowledged that
the perpetual neutrality and inviola-
bility of Switzerland and its independ-
ence from all foreign influence are in
the best interests of the policy of the
whole of Europe"

Considerate In Death.

When Sir Ralph Abercromby was
mortally wounded in the battle of
AboulSir he was carried on litter
on board the Foudroyant. To ease his
pain soldiers blanket was placed un-
der his head. He asked what 1t was.
"It's only soldiers blanket" he
was told.
"Whose blanket is it?' he persisted,
raising himself.
"Only one of the mems"
~ want to know the name of the
man whose blanket this is." the dying
commander insisted.
at Is Duncan Roy's of the Forty
second Sir Ralph" said his attendant
at last.
"Then see that Duncan Roy gets his
blanket this night" commanded the
brave man, who did not forget even in
his last agonies the comfort and well
fare of his men.

Great Men Of Small Stature.

Aristotle, WHO for 1000 years held
sway over the world of thought, was
slender man, with small eyes and
a shrill, stammering speech. Athan-
aslus, who at the council of Nice was
the most potent spirit. was man Of
very small stature-a dwarf rather
than man, but Of almost angelic
beauty Of face and expression. Greg
ory VII, perhaps the mightlest Of
the Roman pontiffs, who dethroned
sovereigns, was dlminutive man, and
SO were Canute and the great Conde.
voItaIre, the literary autocrat Of the
eighteenth century, was one of the
thinnest and most spectral Of human
beings. Robespierre and Marat, lead
ers of the French revolution. were far
below the average stature. Robespierre
was only five feet two or three inches,
and Marat less than i've feet. Ma
poleon Bonaparts was also q man Of
mall stature.

KEEP BEST YOUNG ANIMALS
Successful Breeders Do Not Sell Pure

The most successful breeders Of
pure-bred live stock are men who do

Why Swift & Company Handle
Poultry, Eggs, Butter and Cheese
Swift & Company went into the pro-
duce business because they saw a
crying need for the kind of service they
were equipped to perform.
The produce business was in chaos.
Collecting. transportation. preparation
and distribution was hit or miss.
with delay. deterioration and loss on
every hand.
The farmer was at the mercy Of an
uncertain. localized market He had
no way of reaching through to the
people who needed what he was
raising for them. There was no prem
ium upon improving his stocks. for
grading was lax or lacking.
The consumer had to accept produce
that, as q rule. had no known respon-
sible name behind it. He had no way
Of knowing how long the eggs or the
butter he was buying had been lying
around in miscellaneous lots in the back
room of q country store. Much Of the
poultry was not properly refrigerated
before shipment or properly protected
by refrigeration in transit.
Swift & Company's initiative brought
system to this chaos Their organize

handling perishable food products were
already adjusted to the task. Their

was demanded.
Now the farmer has q daily cash
market in touch with the nations

FASHIONS FOR SOLDIERS.

It is supposed that no fashion changes are of
any public interest except the yearly pendulum
swinging back and fourth in feminine drapery,
but the announcement that the American Expe-
dictionary Force is going into long trousers is
worthy Of note, if for no other reason, because the
change has been dictated by the soldiers physi-
cal needs. experts have decided says the Stars
and Stripes, that the breeches legs shrink when
wet and impede the circulation, and it is assured
that the kind the doughboy used to wear in civ
ilian life will not cause him cold feet while he is
waiting for the boat
AS leggings Will still be worn at at present,
there will be no unpleasant shock to the eye of
those who like the knee-breeches effect. And
there need be no fear that the change will take
any of the spirit out of our fighters, for long trous-
ers were present at the actual turning of the tide
in the great world-war, the American Marines
having worn them in Belleau Wood. But as this
is not generally known, it may be just as we'll that
the army Of occupation is to continue in it's pres
ent uniform while other military organizations
are to be provided with the new-fashioned gar
ments. The reason for this difference is not stat
ed, hat it is undoubtedly good psychology to keep
before the eyes of the Huns the uniform that
chased them.

Worth seriously looking into-the statement
of Congressman Reavis, that while our ships were

were put into South American trade and have
gobbled a lot of what was our business down
