lines Plan and Urges
Cooperation

A great deal Of interest is being
displayed regarding the position Of
the Express company, now that 1t
has been returned to private opera
ton. d. 81 s..
ITO the local merchants and COM
mercial bodies interested in the ex-
press service, we would say that the
American Railway Express company
will continue the handling Of the
business as single unit, for the time
being at least.
eve are gradually returning to
normal conditions and are introduce
ing many changes in methods, which
we expect will show results very sat

provement of the railroad service and
with more facilities in cars and term
inals, we believe that we can show
great progress in this direction" is
the statement made by T. E. Lloyd,
local agent.
eve have consolidated the routing
of express on a national basis, CIV
ing shippers the most direct route for
the handling of their business. We
believe that shippers appreciate the
advantages Of Capitalization of the
express business, and with the CO.
operation of shippers in being sure
their shipments are well packed be-
fore starting on their journey, there
will be fewer claims and less causes
for dissatisfaction"

SWIFT AND COMPANY
OFFER STOCK TO
\ THEIR EMPLOYEES
10 Employees Will BE Stock
ERR ners Under New
arrangement

Men aud women who go to work
for Swift & Company during the year
1920 will have the opportunity Of
becoming more than mere employees,
according to plans announced today
by Louis F. Swift, president OF the
company.
A certain portion Of the stock OF
the company. has been set aside to be
sold to new employees at par on a
time payment plan and it is hoped
that every person who begins work
with the company this year will avail
himself of the opportunity afforded.
This stock at present is selling
about 20 per cent above par, thus as
surfing the purchaser a substantial
profit.
eve believe that the man who
owns his home is q better citizen
than the man who rents" said Mr..
Swift, land on the same principle,
the man who is a part owner OF
Swift & Company will take greater
pride in the performance Of the COM
pany.
"Under this plan it is provided
that after six months service the
new employe may purchase stock on
a graduated plan based on salary.
The minimum, of course, would be
one share and the maximum, five
shares.
1.-TWO years are given the employees
to pay for the shares"
The announcement is in line with
advice to employees recently uttered
by Louis F. Swift, president Of Swift
E. Company, in his annual address
to shareholders. Mr.. Swift urged
employees to "get in debt"-not for
clothing or for luxuries, but for some
Investment worth saving for. Many
employees who were shareholders had
told him, said Mr.. Swift, that get
ting in debt" in this way had turn
ed out to be the best thing that they
ever did financially.
A report presented at the annual
meeting of stockholders Of Swift &
Company showed that the company,
at the. end of its fiscal year, had TO-
900 employees as shareholders. Over
5000 other employees have sub
scribed for shares under the 1919
Employees Stock Savings plan max
ing q, total of $4,000 employees, who
are, or soon will become, sharehold-
ers of record.

PRICE OF PIGS FEET
;. >. &. RUINED APPETITE :.
OF MILLIONAIRE
Jessie James Method Applied
When Wealthy Paper Man
Goes Shopping

Minneapolis, April Tt did not
damage the bank roll of vice-presi:
dent Haskell of the international
paper company to pay 33A cents
apiece for pigs feet In New YORK the
other day but it hurts his Feelings
and it simply ruined his appetite.
Commerce and Finance relates tna'
recently Mr.. Haskell, with the yearn-
ing for pigs feet upon him, dropped
into a shop on upper broadway and
purchased four. The Jesse James
behind the counter charged him
$1.35. ~.
The next day the four pigs feet
tramped heavily, not on Mr.. Haskelle
digestive apparatus but on his nina.
So he sent an office boy around TO
Washington Market to find out just
where his passion for pigs feet was
leading him. He gave the boy ~
bill and an order for four. The boy
brought back four and $1.75 change.
The Broadway bandit has stuck up
Mr.. Haskell for the last time.
A similar margin is to be found IN
many of the things we buy every
day. If through intelligent investiga-
ton and careful buying, saving OF
PIN cents apiece on pigs feet Is pos
siblle, it becomes evident that safe
antidote to the venom of exhorbitant
prices is in the hands OF the purchas-
ing public. .
II the savings conserved even on
small and occasional purchases are
vested in War Savings Stamps and
Treasury Saving Certificates until
the period when production and
prices have returned to normal, the
invested in War Savings Stamps and
to adopt a better scale of living than
ever before and do SO without sacri-
ficing future prospects and security.

of Commander of 26th Division to

Attention is called to the visit of
General Edwards, commander of the
goth division, to this county. He is to
be at Grafton for the celebration Satur-
day, July 3.
The 26th division took nearly all of
the personnel of the original Vermont
regiment, some of the best of the man
hood of the state. The record those boys
made will ever stand out to the glory of
our people Their deeds on the field of
battle made heroes of each one. Some
thing of the soul of the state went into
the organization commanded by General
Edwards.
The men had confidence in their COM
mander and he had confidence in them.
His ability as an organizer back of the
Ines and a leader III action placed him
as one of the ablestiof generals and his
command as one of the best in France.
1t was the regret of each man of the LIST
Vermont left behind that he too could
not go with the Yankee division.
But let us all unite in giving the be-
loved commander a welcome to our
county by being present and extending to
linn a most cordial greeting.
