AN INVITATION

When you play the game with Take a chunrff

Be a plunger now and then, Take a chance! Don't be hedging all the time, Having courage is no crime, Don t be scared by circumstance, Take a chance! All the great are fellows who Took a chance; Dared what others feared to do, Took a chance. Piking through the game of life May avoid the sweat and strife, But the people who advance Take a chance !

Boost the limit don't you "call " Take a chance! Keep your wits, but risk your all, Take a chance! Life's a gamble; those who win, e.and PlunSe in with a grin, Blumng iate and circumstanceTake a chance! If you lost and loss you may, It's a chance. But at least you dared to play, Take a chance! Which is better far I claim, Than to fear to risk the game on'fc ymu, quail at Failure's Glace, Take a chance!

YOU KAY THINK FOOD COMES We have, been getting our food so easily all these years that we forget that it is one of the fundamentals of life. , fWe forget that a large part of the work we do every day, we do for food. We get our- pay in money, but we translate alarge Part of that money sooner or later into food. No, grocery stores and dining rooms and ;three meals a day are just a habit with most of us, and it is hard to.seehow food has any connection with irar. But, .honest, friends.

families, tribes, nations used to bundle up and moye hundreds of Miles for food. We may reflect that birds migrate for food. We have seen a great Russia go to pieces largely for want of food. We saw Italy almost going to pieces at one time for want of food. We see En Ir

land and France constantly threatened with a shortage of food. There are spots in the world where the grocery boy does not come with a full basket if you call on the phone, even if you save the money to pay. We must look out for France and England and Italy. Their hunger is

our nunger. Their health is our health. There is nothing habitual now about the way our allies get their food. Every loaf of bread takes scheming, every bite of beefsteak takes planning. And, over here, as we sit among our chicken nips

sliortcakes we must stop and philosophize about food, and, in fact, do some real tall thinking about it. We have got to do some of that scheming and planning for that loaf of bread and that bite of beefsteak

Profits and Prices Profits may be considered from two angles: 7f Their effect on prices; 2ndk a return to investors. When profits are small as compared with sales, they have little effect on prices. Swift & Company's profits are only a fraction of a cent per pound on all products sold, and if eliminated entirely would have practically no effect on prices. Swift & Company paid 10 pecent dividends to over 20,000 stockholders out of its 1917 profits. It also had to build extensions and improvements out of profits; to finance large stocks of goods made necessary I by unprecedented requirements j of the United States and Allied ' Gpvernment3; and to provide protection against the day of ;' declining njmrkets.
