on the 24th of November noti
fying him that bis eldest son Dale

Iowa Inft. was killed in bat
tie in France on the 12th of Sep

out the length and breadth of tbe
land, there h a daily ft ishing out
of the news ot tbe death, the
wounding, or the suffering of our
boys over there, and thus cius
ing a shadow of gloom to fall up
on the homes and the filling of
the hearts of parents and other
relatives with real heart aching
sorrow.
For the first time during this
school year, ths schools of Lick

Enrollment of Members In Red Cross
Should be Nation-wide.
. Now that the war is won, many
Fulton County citizens are ask
ing why the Red Cross ia plan
ning to enroll the entire popula
tion of the county as members the
week before ChrUtmas
Chairman ol the local Exec
ulive Commute of the Red Cross
Christmas Roll Cill organization
makes the following reply :
''Starvation, sickness and sor
row did not vanish in Europe
when the fighting ceased. Oa the
contrary, tbo new condit'ous have
revealed greater, opportunities
for tbe American people, through
the Red (J tons, to extend relief
This work is just as imperative
in p:ace as in war. though not so
dramatic.
"Besides, Fulton County boys
in France or in borne camps, with
millions of otber American sol
diers, and sailors have a right to
expect that Red Cross service
will be continued for them in full
measure uotil demobil zitton is
completed. This means tbe Rod
Ciois must 'carry on for many
months, and the money raised
through membership dues will
help finance the service.
AH that is asked of any ad alt
in the Red Cross Christmas Roll
Call is that h or she shall have
"a heart and a dollar." - When
you multiply these hearts and
dollars by the millions of adults
in tbe Uaited States, it is evident
that a substantial total will be
raised if tbe response to the Roll
Call is general.
Children will not be sol'cited,
as they already are ret resented
in the school auxiliaries, or will
enroll through the auxiliaries at
twenty- five cents a year, but they
will be valuable aids in tbe Roll
Call by reminding their parents
of the opportunity to register ap
proval of the greatest relief work
in the history ot the world.

To prevent mue Iron working

should it be turned in fie ground

The Farmer Receives More Than Five
Thousand Dollars a Minute From
Swift & Company
This amount is paid to the farmer for live
stock, by Swift & Company alone, during the
trading hours of every business day.
All this money is paid to the farmer through
the open market in competition with large and
small packers, shippers, speculators and dealers.
The farmer, feeder, or shipper receives
every cent of this money ($300,000 an hour,
nearly $2,000,000 a day, $11,500,000 a week) in
cash, on the spot, as soon as the stock he has
just sold is weighed up.
Soma of the money paid to the farmer dur
ing a single day comes back to the company in
a month from sale of products; much does not
come back for sixty or ninety days or more.
But the next day Swift & Company, to meet the
demands made by its customers, must pay out
another $2,000,000 or so, and at the present high
price levels keeps over $250,000,000 continuously
tied up in goods on the way to market and in
bills owed to the company.
This gives an idea of the volume of the
Swift & Company business and the requirements
of financing it. Only by doing a large business
can this company turn live stock into meat and
by-products at the lowest possible cost, prevent
waste, operate refrigerator cars, distribute to
retailers in all parts of the country and be
recompensed with a profit of only a fraction of
a cent a pound a profit too small to have any
noticeable effect on the price of meat or live stock.

ArmiMicc Results.
At the lime of tbe signing of
tho armistice, many people Berl
ously doubted the practicability
of full compliance with its terms.
Their apprehensions, however,
seem to have been entirely
groundless, for the work inci
deut to tho taking over of tbe
German 11 jet, airplanes aDd war
material, and the forward move
inont of tho Allied army through
Belgium, eastern France and
even into tbe German territory
west of the Rhine has proceeded
steadily aud without any serious
difficulties. An interesting cir
cumstance in this connection is
tbe fact that the Allied armies
of occupation seem to be regard
ed by both the local authoritlon
and tbe people generally m t1Q
German towns now beii g takm
over, as liberators and frier d
rather than as enemies. Tins
situation is no doubt due to
the fact that, in the exercise of
general control over German ter
ritory, the Allied authorities aie
showing themselves to be much
more considerate of the righu c f
the people than were the repre
sentatives of the former Ger
man autocracy.

nice Government position in a
