The Owners of “Swift & Company” (Now Over 22,000) Perhaps it has not occurred to you that you can -participate in Swift & Company’s profits,—and also share its risks,—by becoming a co-partner in the business? It is not a close corporation. You can do this by buying Swift & Company shares, which are bought and sold on the Chicago and Boston stock exchanges. There are now over 22,000 shareholders of Swift & Company, 3,500 of whom are employes of the Company. These 22,000' shareholders include 7,800 women. Cash dividends have been paid regularly for thirty years. The rate at present is 8 per cent. The capital stock is all of one kind, namely,, common stock—there is no preferred stock, and this common stock represents actual values. There is no ‘‘water,” nor have good will, trade marks, or patents been capitalized. This statement is made solely for your information and not for the purpose of booming Swift & Company stock. We welcome, however, live stock producers, retailers, and consumers as co-partners. We particularly like to have for shareholders the people with whom we do business. This leads to a better mutual understanding. * Year Book of interesting and instructive facts sent on request. Address Swift & Company, Union Stock Yards, Chicago, Illinois Swift & Company efwiMj".

Are Your Hands Idle?

Patriotism has rarely had so many practical ways of manifesting itself as in the present time. Sometimes we have felt that for the most of us it was largely talk, but now the way has been made so plain that anyone who is ready to help .has the opportunity to do so. If any pair of hands is idle it is because they choose to be so. The chance to work and the chance to sacrifice are privileges open to all.

Home Town Helps

ENJOY LIFE IN SMALL TOWN Residents There Escape the Discomforts That Are Inevitable Accompaniments to Crowded City. “Americans do not yet know how to Hye,” is the constant cry of visiting Europeans. The spectacle of people of wealth and culture enduring the indignities and discomforts of existence in hired quarters in a crowded city is to them the proof of this, says a writer in New York Sun. But we are learning. The pioneers from the city to the suburbs have gradually created the things they needed to make life livable from a social as well as from a material standpoint, and now life in any up-to-date suburban locality is as full and complete as in the most favored city. Take my own locality. We have golf, tennis and squash clubs. We have literary, musical and art societies. We have churches of the leading denominations. We have assembly rooms for public and semipublic meetings. During the year there are nu-. merous public entertainments concerts, lectures, amateur theatricals, where the audiences are like one large family gathering, and for the idle evenings we have the inevitable moving picture house. We are 32 minutes from the subway station at Grand Central, the heart of the club and amusement district of New York. We get trains in or out every few minutes during the busy hours —less frequently but still sufficient at other times. The rent which we pay to ourselves as landlord (and we Insist upon paying ourselves 6 per cent net on our cash invested) is less than one-half of what we would pay for the same living space in the city, in addition to which, we have light, air, space and that freedom which money cannot purchase in the city.

DULUTH SUBURB IS A MODEL

——y— Carefully Planned and Laid Out, It Furnishes an Object Lesson for Other Communities. In Morgan Park, a suburb of Duluth, owned and operated by a subsidiary of the United States Steel corporation for the use and benefit of employees, the government has fount! food for reflection with respect to town-planning and housing. It is analyzed by Leifur Magnusson, a housing expert of the bureau of labor statistics, in the bureau’s monthly review, wherein Morgan Park is described as “an example of a modern industrial suburb intended to serve as a nucleus of a permanent industry.” “It has been developed,” it seems, “in an orderly and systematic manner, town-planning principles have been observed in its layout, educational and recreational facilities have been provided. and houses of a permanent and substantial character erected.’ 1 The latter, indeed, are of concrete, though variety has been secured and the usual monotony of company towns avoided. There is more than the average range in- the number of rooms and character of dwellings provided in the different designs in order, that both high and low paid labor may be accommodated. In addition to the variety of houses to meet all purses there are boarding houses for the unmarried employees. Also, the taking of roomers and boarders in private families is permitted to a limited extent. No land or houses have been sold, the title to ? the whole townsite remaining in a housing and maintenance company organized for the purpose. Special blocks have been set aside for business purposes, as well as for recreation and parks, and a block has been given by Duluth for a school site.

Landscape Gardener Needed.

There is agitation in many cities for public landscape gardener to co-oper-ate with the county surveyors in setting out trees and shrubbery, laying out fertile gardens, giving Information to gardeners and tree growers, fighting Insects, securing black dirt, forest mold, fertilizer and good seeds. The average yard is a jumbled-up mess. A shade tree is often stuck in the center of the back yard. This ruins all prospects for a vegetable garden. Fruit trees should be given at least the back yard in preference to the front yard. People don’t know just what they want when they do lay out the back yard; hence they ought to have the services of a public landscape gardener. The side and front yard is even worse.

Liberty Garden.

War gardens are now called Liberty gardens, a more fitting term. Liberty is freedom, and a good garden means liberation from store vegetables, the free use of fresh food right from the garden, easily worth double the price of store stuff to a particular person. Work in the garden means freedom in God’s sunlight and pure air. Plenty of fresh vegetables and exercise in the open air mean freedom from disease, and the necessary toll insures sound, refreshing Sleep. If a garden is a good garden, surely it is a Liberty garden, without consideration of the food it may save to send to those who are giving their all for liberty.

HURRY CALL FOR AUNT MARY

Btlll Tim® to Save Chicken, Though Usefulness of Bread Dough Was Thing of the Past. She was entertaining city friends at dinner in her country home. Anxious Jo have the event as nearly perfect as possible, she had served dinner to , her small son and his visiting cousin, Billy, in the kitchen first and then banished them to the back yard. But while she gave apparently undivided attention to her guests' conversation, she was nevertheless conscious of the very frequent opening and closing of the back door, of boys’ footsteps, of little chickens’ yeaplng and, finally, of Billy’s distressed face peeping in at the swinging door. But she did not remember until too late that she had carefully covered some bread dough to rise in the one place in the kitchen where the heat was just right—on the little- platform under the stove. At last Billy’s head bobbed far enough into the room for the company to see his disturbed look and one guest said: “Come here, little boy, to see me, won’t you?” “Why,” said Billy, encouraged, “I jest wanted to tell Aunt AJary that one little chicken Is about to get Into her bread, and another one can hardly get out” •

Catarrhal Deafness Cannot Be Cured by local applications as they cannot reach the diseased portion of the ear. There is only one way to cute Catarrhal Deafness, and that is by a constitutional remedy. HALL’S* CATARRH MEDICINE acts through the Blood on the Mucous Surfaces of the System. Catarrhal Deafness is caused by an Inflamed condition of the mucous lining of the Eustachian Tube. When this tube is Inflamed you have a rumbling sound or imperfect hearing, and when it is entirely closed, Deafness is the result. Unless the Inflammation can be reduced and this tube restored to its normal condition, hearing may be destroyed forever. Many cases of Deafness are caused by Catarrh, which is an Inflamed condition of the Mucous Surfaces.

Home Product.

•"this oriental prayer rug is a great baygain,” said the suave dealer. “It was formerly in the home of a wealthy Turkish banker of Constantinople.” “If what you say is true, thia is a widely traveled rug and has crossed the ocean at least twice.” “How is that?” “According to this trademark, which your assistant did not quite oblfterate, it was made in America.”—Birmingham Age-Herald.

Electric Pencil.

A new electric pencil for marking or writing on any polished steel or iron surface is operated as readily as an ordinary pencil. A stepdown transformer connects it to a lighting socket, and as the point of the pencil is drawn over the steel, the resistance to the passage of the current develops great heat, etching the surface at the point of contact. A rheostat gives control of the depth pf etching.
