What The Packers
Do For You
Not very many years ago in the
history of the world, the man that lived
in America had to hunt for his food,
or go without.
Now he sits down at a table and
decides what he wants to eat; or his
wife calls up the market and has it sent
home for him. And what he gets is
incomparably better.
Everyone of us has some part in
the vast human machine, called
society, that makes all this conven-
ience possible.
The packer's part is to prepare
meat and get it to every part of the
country sweet and fresh—to obtain it
from the stock raiser, to dress it, cool
it, ship it many miles in special refrig-
gerator cars, keep it cool at distrib-
uting points, and get it into the
consumer's hands — your hands —
through retailers, all within about
two weeks.
For this service—so perfect and
effective that you are scarcely aware
that anything is being done for you—
you pay the packers an average profit
of only a fraction of a cent a pound
above actual cost on every pound of
meat you eal.
Swift & Company, U. S. A.

danger of infection and the wound be-

My Dearest Cousin: Just a fev

which I received a few days ago
More than glad to hear from you an'

myself for not answering your kin'
letter before, but we just came bad
from the firing line.
We have sure been hot on th
boche trail this last while back. W<
lrove the Germans back fifteen mile
md caused them heavy losses. The
killed and wounded quite a few o
he boys In our company. It was th
first, battle I was ever in and I wil
iay those Dutchmen have a lot o
;ood artillery and good machim
iuns, but I was lucky enough to g
nit without a scratch.
We are not far behind the liner
We can hear the big guns plain. W
re up In a place where we can no
>uy anything. There are not eve
my civilian people here. The tow:
ire pretty badly smashed up. Yo
isk me to bring you back the kaiser
Vo, not me I am going to leave hir
where he is, and if he wants to makf
nore trouble he can make it in Ger
uany. We don't want anybody lik
him in the States. We are workiiv
very hard over here, almost night ant
lay, I am in my tent tonight writlni
you this letter. Hope you will ex
:use me for not writing to you b
'ore, but it was impossible. This i
he first chance I have had to writ

We are having most very warm
.veather here at the present time.
Well, Gertrude, I am getting tired
and sleepy, so I will close for tonight.
Hoping to hear from you soon, so
bye-bye. With love and best regards
to everyone, from your cousin,

CONFESSIONS OF AN
EX-ANTI SUFFRAGIST
Mrs. M. P. Earley of Muskogee nev-
er until recently saw the NEED of
women voting. 4l«*r mi ITrace creed
might have beeu formulated In this
wise: "Oklahoma women are well look-
ed after by their men. To ask for a
vote—doesn't that seem like criticis-
ing the men?
Now, Mrs. Earley Is a wide-awake
woman, or l>e wouldn't be sneaking
for the government all over this atate
of Oklahoma. She's progressive, or
she wouldn't be president of the Mu-
sical Arts and Parliamentary Law
Clubs of Muskogee, vice president of
the Muskogee Knitting Club of <300
members, assistant state director of
Curious and Useful Plant Family.
The nightshade family, Solmanacad,
Is a most curious and useful one, for
aside fr m the tomato, potato and to-
bacco sections, many of the plants
yield poison, yet close species are
edible as the ground cherry, chill pep-
per, eggplunt, peoino. melon pear, etc.
MRS. M. F. EARLEY.
the War Savings Stamps and corre-
sponding secretary of the Oklahoma
State Federation of Women's Clubs.
Being wide-awake and progressive,
Mrs. Earley has noted some changes
In the world, which she enumerates as
follows:
"First: The adoption of suffrage for
women In twelve states places those
states without suffrage on an inferior
economic basis, which of itself Is bad
business policy.
"Second: The constantly Increasing
outside activities for women, their
splendid response In all lines of work,
their liberal response for financial aid,
and their readiness to perform the
mnnuel labor left by our splendid boys
over there, and the constantly enlarg-
ing sphere of home, which now ex-
tends even beyond the schools to
wherever our boys and girls are em-
ployed.
"Third: When the war ends and all
is over, many of cnir boys, who are
mostly between the ages of twenty-one
and thirty, will not come back to take
the places of those voters who In time
will go over Beyond. This will ma-
terially reduce the number of male
voters who In times past have repre-
sented the women of the family and
allow a minority to rule, a condition
that Is contrary to all parliamentary
procedure. Such a situation would
put unlimited power into the hands of
the dishonest politician and give un-
limited possibilities for graft.
"Two principles—both man-made—
must be upheld; the consent of the gov-
erned and the majority rule.
"These are the reasons why I am no
longer an an ti and as a suffragist am
asking the men of the state to vote
yes on the woman suffrage amend-
ment November 5th."
