To Mr. and Mrs. Public: More than 46,000 of you, to whom this is addressed, own the business of Swift & Company. The officers and directors of Swift & Company, are responsible to these owners. When Gustavus F. Swift first started in business in New England in 1868, he was alone. When he incorporated the business in 1885 as Swift & Company, sis persons comprised the list of shareholders. Today, in 1924, there are consumers, retailers, producers of live stock, employes of Swift & Company, in fact, thousands of Mr. and Mrs. Publics in the list of shareholders. No one man or family own3 as much as 50 per cent of the stock of the Company; in fact, it would take about 900 of the largest shareholders to vote 61 per cent of the shares. We are proud of the fact that about one-third of the list is made up of employes —and that these employes own over $20,000,000 worth of our stock. Swift & Company’s 1924 Year Book tells more about this on page 22, and also about many other interesting phases of the packing business. You may have a copy free for the asking. President f]

CORRECT WAY TO SPAEiE (LE |f - Likewise, it's both recreative I— " and profitable. Why not have a garden yourself this year? That idle bit of background is just the thing for one. Get out and make it pay its keep. Even if you live in an apartment house, a garden is still possible. Join in with neighbors and rent a nearby vacant lot for the purpose. You’ll find property owners generally agreeable to such a plan. The unured portion of a city loj: usually averages about one-fiftieth (■f an acre. During the war, gardens planted on plots that size were made to yield SIOO irt vegetal lo produce. Divide that sum hv twelve and you will at cnee see how a garden can cut down on the annual allowance for rent. Don't locate your garden, though, on land which the sun can't shine on at least, five hours each day. Don't plan one where the original soil has been buried under cinders, rocks and other debris. Test tlie soil for fertility first. ‘ You can do this very easily by putting a small amount hi a cup

TANARUS) AXD A GARDEN PLAN. and mixing it to the consistency of thick cream. Into this solution place a small strip of litmus paper (blue), which can be had at most any drugstore. If, after two hours, any part of the immersed litmus turns red, your garden needs lime. To provide this, scatter a coat of the hydrated or air-slaked variety over your ground after it has been turned. One application a year is sufficient. But do not mix the- lime with commercial fertilizer as the lime releases the needed nitrogen. Always apply lime to the sutface only. Never turn it under. And don't apply it to land intended for Irish potatoes, as it has a tendency to infest the tubers with scab. It is always best to plan the garden beforehand on paper. In this way you can allot different spaces to each crop. The rows should run north and south if possible. But it is more important that they run the tong way ft tlie garden. Arrange the plan so that tallgrowing plants will nut iversradow tho smaller ones. NEXT: Preparing the soil.

By United Press MUNCIE, Ind., March 25.—Delegates to the convention of the Independent Klan of America in session today were at fever pitch following charges brought against the Ku-Klux Kian.

THOUSANDS HAVE KIDNEY TROUBLE AND NEVER SUSPECT IT. Applicants for Insurance Often Rejected. Judging from reports from druggists who are constantly in direct touch with the public, there Is one preparation that has been very successful in overcoming these conditions. The mild and healing influence of Dr. Kilmer’s Swamp-Root is soon realized. It stands the highest for its remarkable record of success. An examining physician for one of the prominent Life Insurance Companies, in an interview of the subject, rhade the astonishing statement that one reason why so many applicants for insurance are rejected is be cause kidney trouble is so common to the American people, and the large majority of those whose applications are decl.ned do not even suspect that they nave the disease. Dr. Kilmer’s Swamp-Root is on sale at all drug stores in bottles of two sizes, medium anß large. However, if you wish first to test this great preparation send ten cents to Dr. Kilmer & Cos., Binghamton, N. Y., for a sample bottle. When writing be sure and mention this paper.— Advertisement.
