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 cornpeti-
ton from other large packers, and
hundreds Of small ones
All these requirements sofintelligence,
loyalty, devotion to the task, are met
in the personnel Of Swift & Company.
Yet the profit is only a fraction of a cent
per pound with costs at minimum. =,
How can the workings Of this deli.
cate human mechanism be improved
upon2
Do you believe that Government
direction would add to our efficiency
or improve the service rendered the
producer and consumer?

THE CONNERSVILLE IDEA.

Connersville. Ind. IS going its housing problem
in a rather astonishing manner. But after one
covers from ones first amazement at the newness
and the daring OF the plan cannot help but
admire its simplicity and wonder that it has not
been done before.
ConnersviIle is not alone in having housing
the country is underhoused a the present time But
Connersvine became keenly conscious Of her de-
hciences when two large manufacturing plants
stated their needs for more residence space for
workers.

that it get the job at once of erecting houses
suitable TO accommodate the workers who would be
brought there by their increased need for labor.
The business men Of Connersvile got together
and formed stock comi.any. They districted the
city and are sending statesmen into every home:
Anybody in the town who has any money to invest
is eligible as a stockhoder in this company. which

A CLEAN-CUT PEACE ISSUE.

Inasmuch as the senatorial factions seem to have
got beyond the possibility of compromise on the
peace treaty it is well that the controversy is being
taken into the open by the president and the ex-
treme foes Of the treaty.
There is clean-cut issue. So far as the SEN
ate IS concerned it seems to have become a simple
choice between accepting the treaty rejecting
between saving 1t and wreclling it, This makes it
easier to present the dominant arguments for and
against the document. and easier for the general
public 10 understand. though there is a regrettabe
loss in perspective and common sense
The nation, apparently, would have been willing
enough 20 acquFesce in a rational compromise. The
nation wants to the whole postwar mess clean
ed up. and wants to get for itself and the rest Of
the world. whatever benefits possible through
international federation. There has been a very
evident feeling lately that the interests Of the United
States might be safeguarded the possible
ings OF international cooperation still retained
through a set Of reservations covering the main
points OF controversy.
SO far can be judged from the utterances of
the American press the public still thinks so But
II the United States is incapable of handling
the matter in this sober rational way and If the
battalion OF death" is determined the extreme
program undertaken so be it!
As between fiat acceptance and fat rejection Of
this peace settlement. pending which the word is
marking time and whose failure may plunge Eu-
rope into chaos. the public may be expected 10 de-
eide clearly and promptly.

The conduct Of Rumania in Hungary has been of

than helping TO put Hapsburg back in power.
There have been many references i'm recent news
dispatches to the depredatons of the Rumanan
army which invaded Hungary and occupied Buda-
pest and the refusal of the invaders to recognize
even the ordinary rules Of war. A statement from
Herber, Hoover gives q detail or two showing the
utter sbamefulness Of it. He says.
"Rumania IS still taking food from Hungary

officers representing the American relief

Thousands upon thousands of women have kidney or bladder trouble and never suspect it.
 Women's complaints often prove to be nothing else but kidney trouble. or the result of kidney or bladder disease.
 If the kidneys are not in healthy con. dition, they may cause the other organs to become diseased.
 You may suffer pain in the back, head. ache and loss of ambition.
 Poor health makes you nervous. irrita- ble and may be despoment; it makes any one so.
 But hundreds of women claim that Dr. Kilmer's SwampRoot, by restoring health to the kidneys, proved to be just the remedy needed to overcome such conditions.
 Many send for sample bottle to see what Swamp-Root, the great kidney, flyer and bladder medicine, will do for them. By enclosing ten cents to Dr. Kilmer & Co.,, Binghamton.
