High prices for livestock in crease the producer's income. Low prices decrease it and even result in losses. Similarly, high prices for meat increase con sumer's expenses. But Swift & Company as a middleman does not benefit by high or low prices. Our income depends not on a high level of prices or a low level, but rather on the margin between the live stock price and the meat and by-products price. The company's only concern, in whether prices should be high or low, is that they should be high enough to satisfy pro ducers and low enough to please consumers; but over the move ment of these prices Swift & Company has no control. Swift & Company is compelled by competition to pay high enough prices for livestock to secure an adequate supply. We must sell meat at a price low enough to make it- move. "We endeavor also, between the two prices, to secure a margin large enough to pay all .expenses and yield a fair profit Ourprofitfor 1919 averagedless than two cents on each dollar of sales, or 6 per cent on money invested.

In the midst of tho deadly sllonco and a frown from Jeanno which would of killed a guy which hadn't been a clean liver, I says in a calmly volco. '"Lot's nil shoot craps I" at the same time producln' a pair of bones from my pocket. Joe, for a mtnuto they is not a word and then Jeanno laughs klnda nervous and skips over and turns on tho muslo again and I catch a ddmo oyln' me through a pair of glasses with a cane on the end and I.give the wholo thing up nnd beat it to the corner, leavln' tho" party flat on Us backl ' ' tiXf".' oe' x Kl,n "tanll for a lotta klddln' from tho plnoohel hounds on uccount of comln' in wKh this evenln' dross on, but when thev seen how soro I was and noard mo offer to knock any three of em cold If they didn't lay off me, wo had peace and quiet.

I tried to Bncak In, but Jeanno Is waltin' for mo nnd nails me. Joe, If sho looked good dressed for tho party, she was a knockout now. I says "Halloo sweotheart," and sho snys "Sit down, Edouardl" in a coldly voice. sne begin. Joe, fcy gtvln mo a. tor rlble bawlln' out for leavln' her party and then she says Igotta cither give up hor or tho gang on the corner. Tho next requirement or the armlstico Is. ""V .

Well, then Joo, sho arises from up off tho chair and plajB her ace. She says ono of tho guys which wns up at her party was a big movie director nnd ho says she is a Ideal typo and won't she step down to his studio tho first chnnco she gets. She savs she's gonna go In tho movies to help pay our expends and maybe she lave to can got me in too nnd I won't v bo no roughneck bnll nlnvcr. Joe, I am on tho vcrgo of tho D.

After we have got It all settled whether Bhe loves me or not, joo sno pays mat all of this Is beln' done for my own good nnd my baby's, Bho nays she wants me to get outa bnsoball and get into somethin' big where I won't be alt through whilst I am still a young man and also sha wante mo to meet nice people nnd speak tho English language correct and cto. and she will stand by mo and help mo no matter what happens, because thoy will nover be nobody llko Ed. Harmon to her, Joe, then sho says why don't I'Jump the team right then and thers and stay with her Instead of leavln' im mediately on tho train which will make her all alono. , "How are we gonna llvo?" I says. "I gotta do somethin' and " "Ah, out I" sho butts In, klssln' me, "but Monsieur Frothtngham has prom ise mo that if you como down tomorrow to bis office he will glvo you those, port folio as a salesman for tho motor car and " "Who's this guy?" Issays. "Do you not then rcmomber?" says Jnnna. "I dnnco with him tonight Oh, very much. He " 'That's enough I" I hollers. Jumpln up, Joe, I am Immediately the victim of tho red eyed monster known as Jeal ous. "This guy wants to glmmn a Job so's ho can danco with you, hey?" I boilers. "Well, I'm through I You can do what you want. It's elthor mo or your friends and I'll give you 'til I como back to think- It over!" Joe, with that I rushed In and kissed mV without baby and dashed from the House out another word. 'Jeannn called after me as I was slamming the door. but I made out llko I didn't hear her and half way down I wns gonna como back, but I would of missed the train If I did. Anyways, I sent her two tele grams from tho station apologlzln' for everything. What it'll get me I don't know. We nre duo In New York at eleven to-night, Joo, and for Heaven's sake wish mo luck, becauso if I ever lose Jeanno they will bo another lunatlu at the large. Yours truly, m BD. HARMON.
