appeal for the increased production

| Why Swift & Company Handle
Ml Poultry, Eggs, Butter and Cheese
Swift & Company went into the pro-
duce business because they saw a
crying need for the kind of service they
were equipped to perform.
! The produce business was in chaos.
i Collecting, transportation, preparation
i and distribution was hit or miss,
fi with delay, deterioration and loss on
every hand.
| The farmer was at the mercy of an
uncertain, localized market He had
i no way of reaching through to the
li people who needed what he was
raising for them. There was no prem-
i ium upon improving his stocks, for
grading was lax or lacking.
i The consumer had to accept produce
| that, as a rule, had no known respon-
sible name behind it. He had no way
of knowing how long the eggs or the
if butter he was buying had been lyin
around in miscellaneous lots in the bac
il room of a country store. Much of the
| poultry was not properly refrigerated
before shipment or properly protected
by refrigeration in transit. °
Swift & Company's initiative brought
system to this chaos. Their organiza-
i tion, equipment, and experience in
handling perishable food products were
already adjusted to the task. Their
refrigerator cars, branch houses, cen-
tral points, far-reaching connections,
i trained sales force, supplied just what
| was demanded.
i Now the farmer has a daily cash
Hi market in touch with the nation’s
| needs with better prices. Standardi-
zation makes better produce mare
profitable. More consumers are served
with better, fresher, finer foodstuffs. *
Nothing suffers from this save
i inefficiency, which has no claim upon
public support. \

RTH mir | 100 of Washington and have received |
| from that source emphatic denial of
the truth
G. Harold Powell, assistant to Her-
bert Hoover, the Federal Food Ad-
| ministrator, in an interview with Mr. |
| Tyson, set forth the situation as it 1s.
Mr. Powell is in charge of the perish-
able products division of the National
Food Administration. He sald:
“Apparently there ig serious misun-
| derstanding by the pul of the atti
, tude of the Food Administration to-
wards the free consumption of perish.
able materials.
“Foods of the ‘Perishable Produets’
group are essential to nutrition, and
thelr continued production, distribu-
tlon and consumption are vital, in
vis® of National and International
necessities. The Food Administration
desires to emphasize these facts, and
to assure all producers and handlers
of milk products, poultry and eggs,
fish, frufts, potatoss and vegetables
that no restrictions have been placed
on such food materials, or are liable
to be.
“Net only are these foods of great
use and value in supplying the ordis.
ary basis of nutrition, but vary the
diet and promote palatability of the
foods used with them; most of them
are succulent or supply necessary
bulk in the nation, which aids diges-
tion; and some serve as ecient and
necessary regulators of bodily fune
tions thus warding off {ll health.
“Theres are many sections where
perishable products can be srown to
greater advantage than staple crops.
Any movement which leads to subst!-
tuting culture of one for the other,
will be liable to cause economic loss.
It would be unwise, therefore, to limit
the areas devoted to any class of
perishable crops.
“Instead of restricting the produe.
tion, it is belleved that there mever
was a time when the opportunity was
greater, from the business standpoint.
for the expansion and extension of the
perishable food industry, as a whole,
than at present.
“There is every hope that the rafl-
roads will soon be able to move all
classes of freight freely and promptly.
Even in times of congestion perish-
able food products have been placed
in the first priority group, and there
is no reason to expect any change ia
this policy.”

MR. SIMPKINS PAYS
By ROBERT McBLAIR.
HIS INCOME TAX
Mr, Simpkins gazed at the portrait |
| on the wall till his eyes filled with |
tears, It was a portrait of his father, |
Colonel Simpkins, who had four times |
been promoted for valor during the |
Civil War and had dled bravely on the
fleld of action. Mr. Simpkins’ throat
ached now for two reasons: First, hé
| reverenced and adored the memory of
his father; secondly, his age and his
eyes and his game leg wouldn't let him |
go to war himself. And as he observed |
the martial bearing and uncompromis-
Ing gaze of Colonel Simpkins he saw,
{ In imagination, the khaki-clad lads of
the new generation marching forth and
crossing three thousand miles of sea to
fight, maybe die, for liberty.
Mr. Simpkins peered around to make
| sure that neither Bess nor John (who
| were at the teasing ages of sixteen
| and seventeen) were where they could
| see him, then he straightened and
threw his right arm up for a salute.
| But his gouty shoulder twinged, and he
He couldn’t even salute,
“Damn!” sald Mr. Simpkins, and
with his other hand fiercely twirled his
white mustachios.
He turned and limped Into the Ili-
brary and sat down creakily before the
mahogany desk on which were lying
the blanks for his Income tax: state-
ment, blanks which he had rather
grumpily got from the Internal Reve-
! nue officer only that day after lunch-
eon on his way home from the club.
Mr. Simpkins’ income for 1917 had
amounted to just about $15,000, and he
' had been rather snappy on the sub-
i Ject of taxes ever since he had discov-
ered that the more Income a man has
| the greater the percentage of It he
pays In taxes. He could think of sev-
eral men who, lke himself, were mar- !
although thelr Incomes were nearly
half of his, they
small fraction of the amount he paid.
He gloomily drew the blank nearer
filllng in the information
that it asked for.
As Mr. Simpkins’ income was $15,000
able on each of the successive smaller |
| classes of incomes in order to arrive
He |
passed over the first class who must |

pay taxes, that is, single men making
over 1,000. His calculation for mar-
{ riled men then showed up as follows:
First, they pay 2 per cent. (under
the 19168 law) on all income over
$4,000, deducting $200 for each of their
children under eighteen years. In Mr,
Simpking’ case this was $212, which he
put down In the ‘payable’ column.
He saw next that,
law, married men pay an additional 2
per cent. on all over $2,000—with the
same allowance for children. This
added $252 to his “payable” column.
He then observed that for every
$2,500 jump in his income over $35,000
he had to pay a Surtax, the percentage
growing larger with each jump. This
was $250 more added to his burden,
And on top of all this came an “Ex
cess Profits” tax of 8 per cent. on all
“occupation” Income over $6,000, mak-
ing $720 more.
The total, then, he must pay was four-
teen hundred and thirty-four dollars.
“Whew I” exclaimed Mr. Simpkins
angrily. “There's young Henry Wil-
kins, who married Jake Johnson's girl,
he makes $2,000 and he doesn't pay &
cent of taxes. [ guess this Is his war
as well as mine!”
Thinking of young Henry Wilkins,
he remembered that Mrs, Wilkins went
every afternoon to make bandages for
the Red Cross and that Henry, who
was a lawyer, was aiding the Local
Draft Board with its questionnaires.
“Well,” he admitted to himself,
“that makes a difference.”
He thought next of Judge Willough-
by, whose Income was about $3,000.
“He only pays $20,” commented Mr,
Sunpking, not quite so angrily this
time; and then a thought struck him
and he sat up rigidly in his chair.
Judge Willoughby's son had been
drowned on the Tuscania when it was
submarined with the loss of two hun-
dred soldiers.
“Judge Willoughby gave his son to
America,” muttered Mr. Simpkins.
He leaned forward suddenly and put
his face in his hands.
For a long time Mr. Simpkins sat
very still in that position. There was
no sound In the library except the
ticking of the tall clock and an occa-
sional trill of laughter from the chil-
dren skylarking upstairs, The square
of light on the carpet gradually with-
drew itself through the window, and
first twilight and then darkness settled
in about the quiet, white haired, some-
times irascible old man.
Mr. Simpkins was thinking things
which he would never afterward speak
of, he was thinking things that were
too sacred ever to be put into words.
But some inkling of his thoughts may
be found In his rejoinder to Mrs.
Simpkins when that placid lady came
in and turned on the lights, and asked
him whether he was ready for dinner.
“Judge Willoughby’s only son was
' worth as much as fourteen hundred
and thirty-four dollars, wasn't he?”
Mr. Simpkins demanded of her.
As his wife, who was not unused to
his superficial irritations, vatched him
in mild astonishment, Mr. Simpkins
| Ilmped out to the hall and took his
i old felt hat
| from the hat rack.
| into the foggy evening, he tapped his
| way down to the corner, and mailed his
and silver-headed cane

“Now, God be thanked,” said Mr.
i ®|tmpkins as the lid clanked shut over
his missive, “I cn do this much for
my country, anyhow.”

Pansy Square. And, oh, ladles, do any
of you know the dreary loneliness
at night?”
We almost hugged the dear old lady,
so forlorn, yet so brave. We drew up
our chairs closer, and she told us her
story.
The little old lady owned a vine
embowered cottage in Pansy Square,
son, who worked in a downtown office.
When America took up cudgels for de-
mocracy the lad, in patriotic fervor,
was among the first to enlist.
“Ah, how 1 loved him and needed
him!” whispered the old lady broken-
ly. “But my dear country needed him
more. Bo I told him to go. ‘But
what will you do, granny?’ he asked.
I told him I had enough, and so he
went. Brave, brave heart! My hus-
band was a soldier, and I have his
pension. But it is small. After pay-
ing the taxes on my cottage there was
little left, and now it is gone. I'm old,
but I'm willing. All I ask is a chance
to earn my bread till—till he returns.”
Through the Home Service workers
of her community the little old lady
of Pansy Square has been provided
with simple tasks, such as making pre-
serves and delicious cakes and jellies,
a labor of love for her and an unfail-

boy will come back to the little old
lady of Pansy Square. and he will find
