about the Wilson & Co.

the other evening.

Ham. | did not ask them
how they liked it. I knew it
had been cooked just right
and | think / know how to
slice ham as we'll as any
body. | waited to hear ex-
pressions of opinion from
my guests.
One-a young lady who is
a secretary to the National
Honor Guard of the Saliva
ton Army, started the ball
rolling by remarking to my
daughter: "Why, Eleanor,
where did you buy this
ham? 1t is the most deli
ciOus | ever ate."
Then another guest, who is
a Y. M. C. A. secretary,
spoke up and said: "Isn't
this ham wonderful? Why,
it melts in your mouth, and
what a delightful flavor it
has"
And so it went, all around
the table. Everybody expressed
a very favorable opinion as to
the quality and taste of the
ham. s
You know a Wilson & Co. Ger
titled Ham is big enough to
serve many people. There were
several people as guests at my
table-a couple of them being
golfers, with very keen appe-
tites-yet there was enough
ham left to serve a couple of
luncheons to several people.
When told my guests finally
that they had been served with
a Wilson & Co. Certified Ham,
they said to me: 1--WE don't
blame you for being so enthusi-
astic about the quality of the
foods prepared by that firm.
They certainly make good all of
your claims about them"
Then they asked me lot of
questions about my experience
with the workers in the Wilson
& Co. organization, which /
answered, but they were es-
pecially interested in a story l
told them about the Good Eel
lowship Clubs which have been
organized in the Wilson & Co.
plants.
A recent experience with the
Fellowship Club members in the
New York plant gave me the
cue to tell them how wonderful
the workers are and how they
pull together for their own bet
terment, as we'll as for the bet
terment of the business.
The New York Fellowship Club
was Just getting under way.
They held an election of officers
and they elected the General
Manager of the New York plant
as their President. There is no
Aristocracy of Workers in the
New York or any other plant.
Officials and the rank and file of
workers mingle together on the
same platform of brotherhood and
sisterhood.

KING OFFERS TO NATION
PART OF ROYAL PROPERTY
Beading of the italian Rulers Pro
posa1 Stirs the Chamber
Of Deputies.


BY Cable to The Star and Chicago
Daily News, Copyright, 1919.
MILAN, Italy, September 15.-The
on Saturday by Premier Nitti of the
letter in which King Victor Emman-
uel offers to give the nation part of
the royal property produced a fine
impression. The king, who has al
ways been respected for his demo-
cratic temperament and severe do
mestic virtues, became popular dur
ing the war for sharing the soldiers
struggles and emotions during three
years. Besides the 100000 lire
(s600,000) renounced by him in the
civil list, the patrimony given to the
twelve royal palaces. four villas,
fourteen farms and private houses,
hunting lodges and six large proper
ties, comprising parks and gardens.
The gift represents several million
dollars.
situated picturesquely on hill.
where King Victor Emmanuel I died.
The best known palaces are the
Palazzo Pitt, in Florence, and Capido-
dimonte, at Naples, which recently
was the residence of the Duchess of
Aosta. Among the famous villas is
that of Nome, in which the assassi-
mated King Humbert died.
The king also has given to the
state all the royal boxes in the the
aters in Milan, Genoa, Venice, Naples
and Florence, retaining only one in
Rome. This is perhaps his least pri-
walton, the king being well known
for his aversion for theaters. The
lands given are estimated at s.547
hectares (21,367 acres). The proper
ties are designed mainly as a benefit
to the national fund for the army.
