Miss Elizabeth Garner had charge of the devotional exercises. Much enthusiasm was displayed through out the meeting. Interesting reports of the summer conference were given by Miss Edna Forrer, Mrs. Edna- Dunbar, and Miss Elizabeth Garner.' Some interesting facts brought out were "Missions fighting for demo- 1 cracy, for bigger and better things,' "That four-fifths of the people of the nonchristian world are engaged In the present great war." Dr. Ar-j thur Brown, of Wilson College school of missions gave a most powerful and convincing argument for foreign mis-: sions, saying "Righteousness is our end, not peace merely, the only hope for the world lies in the universal acceptance of Christianity and that! is the aim of the missionary enter- 1 prise." The meeting adjourned with a hymn and prayer, followed by a I social hour. Light refreshments were served. Mrs. Stover rendered a piano! solo.

PAt l i You Can't Eat Meat j 100 Miles Away I Preparing meat is only a part of Swift & Company's usefulness. The finest meat in the world wouldn't do you any good one hundred miles away from your table. Swift & Company efficiency has made it possible to place complete lines of products in the smallest and most remote communities. To be sure the work is done well Swift & Company, through its branch houses and car routes, brings the meat I to the retail dealer for you. Swift & Company lays out car routes covering towns big, little, medium size—which are not served bv a Swift branch house. Salesmen find out in advance what is wanted by the dealers in every town. They are followed by refrigerator cars loaded with retailers' orders, which are delivered at each town—fresh, clean, and sweet—once or twice each week. Swift & Company operates a large number of car routes like this, from fourteen distributing plants. This is a necessary and natural part of the packer's usefulness. It fits into the industry in an orderly, effective way. It makes better meat cheaper from one end of the land to the other. Swift & Company, U. S. A.
