Describes Patriotism As "Narrow
Minded Hatred of Other Peo-

! Washington. — Because "The Fin-
lshed Mystery," a Bible study text
book describing patriotism "as a cur-
tain delusion," and a "narrow minded
hatred of other peoples," and war as
| "a work of satan," distribution of the
book was forbidden by the department
of Justice, acting under the espionage
act.
Thousands of copies of the book
have been seized in many Btates but
It was not until now that the depart-
ment decided to prohibit its distribu-
tion. District attorneys were notified
to prosecute any dealers or other per-
sons selling or offering the book for
sale or for distribution.
The book purports to be the post-
humous work of the late Pastor
Charles T. Russell, and was pub-
lished in Brooklyn by the People's
Pulpit Association with which are af-
| filiated the International Bible Stu-
dents Association and the Watchtower
j Tract and Bible Association. It was
compiled by Clayton J. Wadaworth of
I Soranton, Pa., who has been arrested
on a charge of seditious writings. He
prepared the book since the war start-
ed and to inserted derogatory refer-
ences to America's cause in the war.
: The department of Justice ex-
plained that it would not have taken
action against the book If it had been
written before the war or If all the
material had really been that of PaB-
i tor Russell, who died in 1916.
Texas Russellltes Are Under Arrest,

Frodeman, R. H. Little and Robert
Naismith of Belton were placed un-

der Instructions from the department
of Justice at Waco. The prisoners
are charged with circulating "The
Finished Mystery" and other litera-
ture. The men arrested are well
known and prominent citizens.
Swift & Company
Publicity
At a recent hearing of the Federal Trade Commission there
was introduced correspondence taken from the private files ol
Swift & Company,which showed that the Company had been con-
sidering for some time an educational advertising campaign.
The need for this publicity has been apparent to us for sev-
eral years. The gross misrepresentation to which we have
recently been subjected has convinced us that we should no longer
delay in putting before the public the basic facts of our business,
relying on the fair-mindedness of the American people.
The feeling against the American packer is based largely on
the belief that the income and well-being of the producer and
consumer are adversely affected by the packers' operations,
resulting in unreasonably large profits.
Swift & Company's net profit is reasonable, and represents
an insignificant factor in the cost of living.
For the fiscal year 1917 the total sales and net profit of Swift
& Company were as follows:
Profits _
$34,650,000. ■
This is equivalent to a $3,465. profit on a business of $87,500.
If Swift & Company had made no profit at all, the cattle raiser
would have received only one-eighth of a cent per pound more for his
cattle, or the consumer would have saved only one-quarter of a cent per
pound on dressed beef.

CO-OPERATIVE FARMING IN MAN POWER NECESSARY
TO WIN THE BATTLE FOR LIBERTY
The Food Controllers of the United States and Canada are asking lot
greater food production. Scarcely 100,000,000 bushels of wheat are avail-
able to be sent to the allies overseas before the crop harvest. Upon th«
efforts of the United States and Canada rests the burden of supply.
Evary Available Tillable Acre Must Contribute) Every Available
Fawner and Farm Hand Musi Asslet
Western Canada has an enormous acreage to be seeded, but man powei
is short, and an appeal to the United States allies ia for more men for seed-
ing operation.
Canada's Wheat Production Last Year was 226,000,000 Bushels) tbe
Demand From Canada Alone for 1918 Is 400,000,000 Bushels
To sccure this she must have assistance. She has the land but needs
the men. The Government of the United States wants every man who can
effectively help, to do farm work this year. It wants the land in the United
States developed first of course j but it also wants to help Canada. When-
ever we find a man we can spare to Canada's fields after ours are supplied,
we want to direct him there.
Apply to our Employment Service, and we will tell you where you can
best serve the combined interests.
Western Canada's help will be required not later than April 5th. Wage
to competent help, £50.00 a month and up, board and lodging.
Those who respond to this appeal will get a warm welcome, good wages,
good board and find comfortable homes. They will get a rate of one cent
