SHOWS WHO GETS
BEEF STEAK MONEY
interesting Statistics Revealed !. In
Swift & company's Year Book
Now Being Distributed.

When You buy beef steak that
costs so cents a pound, the natural
thought is, "Who gets the money!"
Distribution of the dollar received
from meat and meat products and
something of the retailers causes for
the prices which he must charge in
order to realize living profit, are
shown in the 1919 Year Book issued
by Swift & Company.
The Swift dollar as illustrated in
the book gives a graphic description
Of the money which the packer re-
ceived in 1918 from sales of beef,
pork, and mutton, and their by-pro-
ducts, From the amount left for
profit it is stated that federal taxes
and interest on borrowed money are
not deducted.
1T will be seen from the dia-
gram" says the Year Book, that
during 1918 Swift & Company paid
out for live animals 85 percent Of all
money received from the sale Of
meats and by-products, that 1897
percent went for expenses Of pack

FARM IMPLEMENT
REPAIRING WEEK
March 3rd to March 9th Designated
AS Week For Repair Of Farm
ing Implements.

A national week for the repair of
farm implements has been designated
for March 3rd to 9Th inclusive by
the National Implement and Vehicle
Association. This program has the
endorsement Of the United States De-
partment Of Agriculture. During
that week farmers are asked to order
their necessary repair parts so that
when the rush season comes on farm
machinery may be in good condition.
Trade conditions are such that repair
parts cannot be assured ii they are
are ordered later.
In addition to this it is suggested
that farmers make repairs as soon
as supplies are received, for fear re-
pair parts may be lost.
It may be, too, that some things
have been overlooked, in which case,
time may then be available to receive
what is needed.
Order and repair at once all farm
machinery, is the request.

OBITUARY
Beulah Margaret Seawright

On Saturday morning Just as an
other day was beginning to dawn,
God saw fit to send into the home
of Mr.. and Mrs. John Seawright the
angel Of death and take from them
their dear little girl, Beulah Marga-
ret, aged three years, one month and
ten days. She was born on Dec. 15,
1916, and died Jan. 20, 1919. AL
though sad it was to give her up, we
know that is makes heaven brighter.
for while on earth she was the angel
Of the home, with arms always out
stretched to greet some one.
We can think Of her now around
the great white throne awaiting us
there to welcome US; where there
will be no more parting and good
byes.
However, sad as it was, God in His
all-wise wisdom sent into that home
a darling babe and then carried it
on to the beautiful beyond. We can
only say to the loved ones left be-
hind, weep not, but think of the Lord
that giyeth and taketh away, for they
are not dead, but sleep.
We miss the voice of one we loved,
A precious form has passed away
To join the angel throng
In the realm of endless days.
Her aunt,
pd. Georgia Travis.

ing ETC., s257 for freight, and 1910
for selling expenses. The profit ami
ounted to about one-third of cent
a pound Of dressed meat, or, since on
ly little over half of the animal
comes forth as meat after the dres-
sing operation, to about one-eighth
of cent per pound Of live animal.
Even out of this one-eighth of cent
there should rightfully be deducted
charge for interest on. borrowed
money.
"These figures mean that if Swift
& Company had paid IS cents more
per hundredweight for cattle there
would have been no profit at ALL
not even enough to pay interest on
the money that we had to borrow in
order to carry ON our beef opera
tions."
The Year Books says that during
twenty-one weeks of the fifty-two IN
the year, Swift & Company either
made no profit at all or suffered an
actual loss on sales of beef, hides,
and by-products. During two weeks
the loss was over one dollar per hum
! bred pounds
"The retailer is the final step in
the marketing chain" the Year Book
continues, "and his operations, as
well as the packers are frequently
misunderstood. In the first place,
he has to charge relatively high pri-
ces for porterhouse and sirloin, be-
cause he gets lower prices for stew
ing and boiling cuts.
"These figures must be used with
great caution, because they represent
only an average quality of meat
During December, 1918, Swift &
Company's average selling Of beef
carcasses was all the way from about
16 cents pound to over % cents a
pound; porterhouse steaks from car
cases at the various prices would
retail from 35 cents a pound to so
cents pound, or even more. The
methods of cutting also vary in diff
erent localities and for different
grades and weights of animals. Re-
tail prices also vary with the quality
i, and character Of service rendered to
customers in the shape Of deliveries,
charge accounts, etc."

1T will be seen from these figures
that the amount received for meat
