WORKERS ARE SAVING WAGES
Success of the Employee Ownership
Plan of Armour & Co. Proves
They Are Thrifty.

If there be any doubt that Ameri-
can industrial workers are saving part
of their wages and are eager to invest
their savings in the enterprises from
which they derive their livelihood, the
success of the employee-ownership
plan of Armour & Co., largest Of the
meat packers, should dispel that doubt.
About 10000 employees of Armour
& Co., Of the total roster Of 100000
workers, now are stockholders. Within
one fortnight recently the employees
subscribed for more than $4,000 shares
Of preferred stock Of Armour & Co. OF
Delaware, the principal subsidiary OF
the parent corporation.
The plan whereby employees could
acquire stock on the partial payment
plan was announced on October "a and
was to close November 10. But so
prompt was the response that the
$4,000 shares that the company had
quickly, and the company was forced
to withdraw it's offer several days
ahead of the time set for closing sub
scriptions.
The individual subscriptions were
limited to maximum of fifteen
shares, and employees were given the
option of paying cash or buying on
weekly payment plan which ran as low
as ST a week. Armour & Co. has
plants in all sections of the country,
hut +ba Stock sales failed TO indicate
that anyone section is behind the
others in the matter of individual pros
perity. Various employees sought to
buy stock for other members OF their
families; others bought shares 1or
cash and ordered them assigned to
children, and even grandchildren, as
Christmas presents.

It is truly "the sale of sales" because it involves more merchandise, newer merchandise and bigger savings than any other sale on the boards. With our seasons business represented by cash in the banks instead of accounts the books, we can afford to be reckless when clearance time comes.

duty and also great pleasure 10
recommend him
The dry pages of an ancient report
hardly give the atmosphere of reality
to a situation of this nature. When
we consider gale of ninety or more
miles and the dangerous reefs Of
Apia harbor, it was no mean feat of
seamanship and daring which en-
abled young Jones to beach the Nip
sic on the only small stretch of sandy
shore in that locality. By this bril-
liant action the lives of the crew
were saved and also the ship.
In the Navy the only measure OF
fitness for command is the manner in
which an officer carries out his duties
at sea. In this respect Hilary p.
Jones has about as long, if not a
longer, amount of sea service TO his
credit than any other active officer
of this day. Not only length OF
service, but quality of service, has
contributed to the peculiar fitness he
has for command of all our ships at
sea. An expert in the intrfcacies OF
naval gunnery and master of naval
strategy and tactics as developed at
the War College, the admiral has
developed capability which is un-
questioned. With duty on the Presi-
dents yacht Mayfower, as command
er of the Florida, and during the
war in charge Of the naval overseas
transportation service at Hampton
roads, he has won admirers such as
few men have in the Navy or any
other place in life.
At the Army-Navy Club the other
night a retired officer was heard to
make a statement which truly de-
scribes the "C-in-C." United States
f1eet-"He is one of the truly great
men I have known, and with all his
accomplishments Hilary Jones to-
day is as unaffected and unassuming
as when he wore the stripes of an
ensign"

| hits mean runs" for many years in
the Navy Probably the least press
| agented commander-in- chief the fleet
has ever had. he nevertheless is not
only one of the most efficient but also
| one of the most lovable characters
| the Navy has produced.
The son of distinguished Confed-
crate army officer, he was reared dur
| ing the reconstruction days of Han
| over county. Virginia. At that early
! age the call of a seagoing profession
was manifested in his imaginary COM
mand of all the chicken coops IN
squadron formation throughout his
| fathers barnyard.
| At the immature age OF fifteen the
opportunity came for a competitive
! examination to enter Annapolis
| which he won. His entrance at the
Naval Acad DENY occurred in 1880 when
| he was barely sixteen years OF age.
BY honest endeavor and good ca
| pacity for studies he graduated with
| the class of 1884. In those days few
who graduated were retained in the
service because of the lack of ships
| in our puny Navy.
After serving as passed midshipman
| il was on his ensign's cruise that the
present admiral had the opportunity
| really to show ability in his chosen
| profession. AT this time he was sta
] toned on the L. s. S. Nipsic when
the ship was making Pacific cruise
| In the disastrous hurricane at Samoa
| thirty-four years ago this March, the
| Nipsic was lying in the anchorage at
Apia, in company with British and
| German men-of-war. What ensued
! can best be described by the COM
| manding officers official report to the
Secretary of the Navy:
| 'I beg to call your attention par
! ticularIy to the valuable services
rendered by Ensign Jones, jr., who
was officer of the deck of the morn
! ing watch and who superintended
the steering ot this ship properly
| and carefully for two hours to pre-
\ vent the German ship Olga from
cutting us down. He stood bravely
and nobly at his post by my side on
the poop through all the storm. Rain
! and volumes of smoke were so dense
! at times we could see only a few
feet ahead. The binding smoke and
| heat were terrific.

legs; the brilliant flashing of a head
and tail. 1t was the young heifer-
the golden calf, as Abe had quantity
christened it.
Margarets eye rested upon it a
little bitterly. The ownership Of the
calves had often proved a bone OF
contention. Toward this one espe-
cially Margaret felt the right of
possession. 1t had been weak and
sickly at first. She had cared for 1t
tirelessly. On cold winter nights she
had shivered beside 1t as she admin
istered warm milk from a bottle. On
busy days she had made countless
trips to the barn, trying every de-
vice she knew to save it. And at
last, after weeks of effort, it had be-
gun to thrive.
Never had there been such a calf.
Sleek and glossy and golden red:
strong and sturdy and perfectly pro-
portioned. And at that point David
had asserted his usual claim. He had
seemed even foolish about the animal.
He petted It, talked to it, fondled
the shapely ears and stroked the
wel1-flled flanks, and refused to part
with 1t. John Laird, on the next
farm, made weekly offers to buy it.
David was obstinate. The golden
calf, now well grown, remained in
the pasture field.
Margaret watched it's antics now
covetously. II it were only hers. as ii
should be, the price of it would satisfy
all her needs. For she was dreaming
viyidly, as she had not even dreamed OF
her wedding clothes. of perfect garments
in which to do honor to Abe and his
great occasion.
During the next weeks Margaret
worked as she had never done before
Her butter had never been so firm and
so golden; the eggs, washed and packed
! with exquisite care, had never looked
so tempting; the fresh baked loaves OF
| oven bread and cake, which she had
added to her marke table products, all
were as perfect as her painstaking skill
could make them. Three times week
| she made the trip to Harrisville, the
county seat, where there was always a
larger market for her wares than in
New Salem, and each time she added
a little to the bank account which grew
slowly but steadily under her eager
| hopes.
Every Sunday John Laird came over
and leaned with David on the pasture
| bars. But the next week found the
| golden calf still there. Margaret won
dered sometimes whether David was
keeping it to taunt her.
Letters from Abe grew more and
| more filed with the excitement of the
coming event. BY the middle of May

mothers coming, even to the details OF
trains.

THE English excavators of ancient
