It is reported that Leo Zellers and Lizzie Wiseman of Virgie put one over on their friends last week when they went- to Crown Point and had the knot tied. We are still in need, of warm, sunshiny weather. We recently got a couple of days of rain but it was quite cool, although wheat, oats and rye are looking fine. E. G. JMiles, son of Elmer Miles of west of town, wrote his parents the latter part of the week from New York, stating that he was just then going to leave for France.

i High Cattle Prices 1 W I I Accompany | I High Beef Prices j If consumers are to pay less for gs beef, live-stock raisers naturally will gE receive less for cattle. If farmers are paid more for live S ' 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 S of distributing houses, and in most cases, delivery to the* retailer. Net EE profits also have to come out of this 10 per cent. w This margin cannot be squeezed EE arbitrarily without danger df 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 g . consumers. == Swift & Company’s net profit on beef during 1917 was only *4 of a cent per pound. On all products, it was a little less than four /cents on each dollar of sales. Complete elimi- gg nation of these profits would not affect appreciably retail prices of meat, or farm prices of live stock. EE Swift & Company will be glad to • = co-operate in devising methods that s will improve conditions in the meat S and live stock industry. 1918 Year Book of interesting and £/ EEs instructive facts sent on request.

SILO MEETING AT THE CAPITAL Jasper County Is- Expected to Build 116 Silos This Year. Indianapolis, April 25.—Jasper county’s quota in the coming silo campaign will be 116, it was announced at the state-wide conference of county leaders in the silo drive here today. Representatives from practically every county in the state were present and heard details of te general, plan of action outlined by Douglas ot Flat Rock, state leader. County leaders will call a meeting of their respective co-operating forces, such as better farming associations, - county agents, county councils of defense and others within a few days wlien township leaders will be named. The quotas for each county were obtained by using the number of livestock and silos already in the county. The township leaders will ascertain these figures for their respective townships and the township quotas will then be figured with the county quota as a basis. It is hoped to build 10,000 in the state this year.
Governor James P. • Goodrich spoke briefly, telling of his own use of the silo and indorsing the campaign. State Food Director G. I. Christie, serving temporarily as an assistant to the .secretary ot agriculture, pointed out the economic value of the silo and its place in the feeding of livestock. The silo is recognized as a wartime institution, as it helps produce meat cheaper than in other ways, he said. Prof. J. H. Skinner, dean of the Purdue college of agriculture and head of the animal husbandry department, showed the value of the silo. M E. Foley, chairman of the state council of defense, called on all county councils to get behind the movement, and Ralph W. Moss, chairman of the committee on food production and conservation, under Whose auspices the eafhpaign will be waged, also spoke, indorsing the campaign. The U. S. department of agriculture. Purdue university, deIpartment of agricultural extension, I county agents, better farming associations and clubs will co-operate in the campaign.
FOODS TASTE BETTER COOKED —TOBACCO TASTES BETTER TOASTED Since the day of the caveman, who liked his meat raw, civilization has learned a lot about the scientific treatment of the things we eat Naturally none of us would now prefer to have our meat raw, our potatoes as they come from the ground, our coffee tinroMfrd And naturally follows the great discovery recently made by The American Tobacco Co. —that tobacco tastes better TOASTED! This wonderful new idea—simple like all great inventions—was first used in producing the famous LUCKY STRIKE Cigarette—made of toasted Burley tobacco. Burley has a mellow flavor, entirely different from the tobacco usually used for cigarettes. It is a pipe tobacco and LUCKY STRIKE Cigarettes taste like a pipe.
