Why Swift & Company Handle
Poultry, Eggs, Butter and Cheese
Swift 4 Company went into the pro-
duce business because they saw q
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 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 N miscellaneous lots in the back
room Of a 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 organiza-
ton, equipment, and experience in
handling perishable food products were
already adjusted to the task. Their
refrigerator cars, branch houses, CEN
trail points, far-reaching connections,
trained sales force. supplied just what
was demanded.
Now the farmer has q daily cash
market in touch with the nations
needs with better prices. Standard
cation makes better produce more
profitable. More consumers are served
with better, fresher, finer foodstuffs.
Nothing suffers from this save
ineficiency, which has no claim upon
public support.
Swift & Company, U.S.A.

Jim CROW" SIGNS RETURNED

For some reason, while our coun-
try was at war with the enemies to
democracy in Europe, the obnoxious
"Jim Grow" signs which were used
in the street cars of our city TO re-
mind loyal Colored Americans that
there was a legally prescribed place
for them to ride separate and apart
from the people Of any other race,
myslcriously disappeared, much to
the pleasure Of the Colorcd patrons
Of the street cars in this city, causing
many TO believe that the dawn of true
democracy was upon us.
But with the return of peace these
signs of former days have also come
back, and now when loyal Colorcd
Americans, though they may be bat
tlc-SCarred from their contact with
the much cursed Huns for the cause
of democracy. board the street cars
they are 10 be reminded by these
damncdable signs that their enjoy
mcnl Of the democracy for which the
race has given so much. for which
many of them have fought and died,
even their rights as American citi
zcnS, is restricted by the state laws
and city ordinances under which
they live. Surely the Colored mans
part in his home land is anything
but cnviablc. In the meantime our
president is in Europe striving to
bring about justice and equality 10
all mankind.

Mr.. Ozaki recommended that at the
peace conference, Japan, acting on
behalf Of all the Asialic races, should
introduce the racial and population
questions for consideration, and if
possible secure solution.
In u country like Japan where The
population is increasing with alarm
ing rapidity, he said, IT was but nat
ural that the surplus population
try 10 obtain an outlet even by re-
sorting 10 arms. From Japan'S
standpoint, said MIR. Ozaki, the racial
or population question questions
were more important than President
Wilson's fourteen points, as laid
down for basis Of GcrmanN's sur
render These racial questions. he
said concern the future of millions
% souls in Asia.
'ir. Ozaki warned the Japanese
unl 10 develop the Germans system
ot state organization, which in the
present war had proven to be mere
machine for destroying civilization
md for trampling under foot the
rights of other nations and peoples.
On the question Of Japan'S occu-
patton of the German South Sea Is
lands, Mr.. Ozaki declared that the
Cniled STATES should diSmanlle her
forts in the Philippines and Hawaii
and that this would be more impor-
lanl for Japan than the taking over
If the South Sea Islands.

AN INSULT TO THE RACE

The Independence Reporter is run
ing "Whai Would You DO With The
Kaiser" column. In one of the con-
tribulionS to that column yesterday,
il was suggested that Hohenzollern
be brought to America and made 10
live with Negroes as a Negro.
This particular reply drew forth
vigorous protest from the Colored
population of Independence. And no
wonderl No respectable Negro
would want to associate with Hohcn-
zollern.-Ez.
Such rot is enough to disgust yell
low dog. to say nothing of the insult
il offers the Colored race, which has
sacrificed so much that the worlds
conflict might terminate as il did.
Are we to be continually humiliat-
ed by prejudiced. narrow-minded
white editors who seem TO find so
much pleasure in reflecting discredit
on the race? Surely we are entitled
to something better, and no editor of
any race worthy of the tiilewould
allow allow the columns of his paper
TO be used to belitile and humiliate
a people who have proved such true
patriots as the American Negro.
