Mr. Clarence Sipple and his sister, Miss Elsie, were visiting relatives in Johnstown last week. : Bertha Faidley and son Fay, who were guests of Mr. and Mrs. Maurice Hostetler, re- turned home on Friday. Miss Erma Rockes, accom- panied by her gentleman friend. passed through the vil- lage Sunday enroute to George Engle’s, where she is employed. The two youngest daugh- ters of Mr. and Mrs. John Kin- singer are seriously ill at this time and are not expected to live. We hope their condition may change for the better. Miss Minnie Bowman, of Ad- dison, who has been working for Mr. Rhodes for several weeks, left for her home last Friday, and Miss Elizabeth] Beal, of Coal Run, is now serv- ing in her place. A number of St. Paulites at- tended the funeral of Carl Winters at Jenners Saturday. Carl was well known among the younger set here, his par- ents having lived in Coal Run, near here, a number of years. Mrs. Osterling, her daugh- ter Mrs. Clark, and baby, who have been the guests of Mr. and Mrs. Earl Engle, left for their home in Butler, Pa., last Fri- day. They were accompanied to Meyersdale by Mr. and Mrs. Engle. Mr. and Mrs. William Sech- ler. and Mrs. C. J. Engle, were in Meversdale Sunday to visit Mrs. Simon Bittner, whe has been ill for a week but is slow: ly improving. Mrs. Bittner is a daughter of Mrs. Engle and a sister of Mrs. Sechler. COAL RUN. Mrs. “Dud” Hersh is visiting her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Richard Hickson. Mr. Charles Brant, who fell through the Keystone tipple last Thursday, is recovering from his injuries. - Mr. Cyrus Hoffman moved from our village a short time ago. His many friends will now find him at home in Boyn- ton. Mr. John Sumac has moved into his new home, the proper- ty formerly owned by his father-in-law, Paul Hoffman, deceased. Mr. Samuel P. Gray, better known as “Pappy Sam,” bought the Elizabeth Robertson prop- erty and expects to occupy it in the near future. Mr. John Gray, who has been confined with a serious case of blood poisoning at his father’s home here, was reméved to his home in Garrett last week. Mr. George Walker, who had been working in the mines hereabouts for some time, was called to his home in Greens- burg last Wednesday, owing to the sickness of Mrs. Walker. A number of our people went over to Jenners Saturday to attend the funeral, of Carl ‘Winters, son of George Win- ters, who resided in Coal Run for a number of years and was well known here. Walter and Charles Hersh have been making trips to Mey- ersdale quite frequently on Wednesday and Saturday even- ings, often not returning home till about 4 o’clock on Monday morning. Many people are wondering why. Mr. Milton Sheetz moved in- to his new home which was formerly the property of Wil- liam James, now . of Meyers- dale. Ed Gray, who has been occupying the property, moved into the house vacated by Mr. Sheetz, belonging to the Mey- ersdale Fuel company. rem § 1 eemcamtmn seemeenee THE MEYERSDALE COMMERCIAL, MEYERSD ALE, PA.

If farmers are paid more for live stock, consumers will necessarily pay more for meat. Swift & Company pays for cattle approximately 90 per cent of the price received for beef and by-products. The remaining 10 per cent pays for dressing, freight to market, operation of distributing houses, and in most cases, delivery to the retailer. Net profits also have to come out of this 10 per cent. This margin cannot be squeezed arbitrarily without danger of crippling the only effective means of performing the complex service of converting cattle into meat and distributing this meat to the fighting forces and to consumers. Swift & Company’s net profit on beef during 1917 was only 1; of a cent per pound. On all products, it was a little less than four cents on each dollar of sales. Complete elimi- nation of these profits would not affect appreciably retail prices of meat, or farm prices of live stock. Swift & Company will be glad to co-operate in devising methods that will improve conditions in the meat and live stock industry. 1918 Year Book of interesting and instructive facts sent on request.
