So Big
And Small!

Seen BY itself, Swift 81 Company
is one of the largest manu-
factureTs and distributors of
animal food products in the
country.
Seen in relation to the total
food business of the world,
its size diminishes to small
proportions.
We handle only about "a
per cent of the total output Of
the hundreds Of packing plants
under federal inspection, and
only about 10 per cent Of the
total meat supply Of the nation.
We handle only about per
cent Of the total quantity Of but
ter, eggs, and poultry sent to
market in the United States.
Our tanneries handle less
than Is per cent Of the hides
made into leather in the United
States.
Our soap factories make less
than 10 per cent Of the soap
output of the nation.
This is done in keen and
open competition with every
concern handling these products,
and at d profit Of 4 fraction Of
cent per pound.

ST.JOHN'S Drive
ENDS THIS week
Committees viii Scour City
To Bring Success in
$150,0O0 Campaign.

Today marks the beginning OF the
final week of the St Johns College
extension campaign for S15O.oO0.
- Workers assembled yesterday and
received their final instructions which
il is hoped will result in the raining
quota OF the sum during the next
seven days. Subcommittees were
named yesterday to take up the mat
ter of subscriptions with banks, busi-
ness houses. the trades and profess
sions and this puts the whole matter
on a better basis than at any other
time since the drive for the fund
was started.
The Rev. Brother Tobias. who
founded the college fifty-four years
ago. has written from his present sta
ton at Ammandale. Md. urging an
immediate and general response. and
the promoters feel that this will bring
fUI ther offerings from many students
who were in the founders classes
during his connection of more than
twenty years with the college.
John F. Ryan. 2215 Thirty-fifth
street, was the first to recover a
free scholarship dropped from an aero
plane by a former student of the COL
lege in a fight over the city earlier
in the week Ryan appeared at head
quarters early yesterday with the an
nouncement that he will avail himself
of course of two years in the COM
mercial section Of the college as soon
rs it opens in the fall.

The holidays last week interrupted
the regular routine in the enrolment
Of new members The board of gov
ernors usually meets on Friday to
pass on applications, but this meet
ing had to be called OF on account OF
the Fourth of July. The board
intends to meet this week and
pass not only on the pending ap-
plications but also upon those which
will be reported at the semi-weekly
luncheon Of the membership teams to-
morrow afternoon at 12-S0 o'clock at the
Commercial Club. Farragut Square.
The membership teams are continu-
ing their enrolment work at a steady
and leisurely pace. No effort is being
made to speed mp the work, as club
officials think that a thorough inves-
tigation OF the qualifications of each
applicant should be made in order to
maintain the high standing Of the
membership.
Every person of good character and
high community standing is eligible.
and these liberal qualifications make il
doubly necessary that careful con-
sideration be given each name
