The oldest work of fiction extant
la thought to be the "Tale of Two Broth-
ers," written 3,200 years ago by the
Theban scribe Ennnna, librarian of the
palace of King Menepthah, the sup-
posed l'hnruoh of the Exodus. The
tale. It appears, was written for the.
entertainment of the crown prince,
who subsequently reigned as Seti II.
His name appears lu two pluces In the

In these simple words, Gen-

America today Is hut paylug
her debt to France.
The words of General I’ershlng were
sixtken ns he stood at the tomb of
Lafayette, French aristocrat by birth
hut democrat at heart, who gave Ids
own services and fortune to the cause
of Amerlcun Independence and was In-
strumental In bringing from France tho
aid that turned the tide In favor of tho
revolutionists.
Those of the present generation who
are not familiar with early American
history nro apt not to realize the mag-
nitude of the debt which the United
States owes to France and to the mem-
ory of! tho gallant Lafayette, Iu the
dark hours before the dawn of free-
dom for America, France poured forth
her men and money In quantities that
were in those days most Impressive.
It is not generally remembered that
France furnished more troops than
America at the battle of Yorktown,
where final victory was won for the
struggling colonists. In that battle
there were engaged 3,500 militia un-
der Gen. Thomas Nelson, 5,500 conti-
nentals under Generals Washington,
Lafayette and Alexander Hamilton and
7,000 French under Ilochnmbeau, be-
F’dcs the French licet of nineteen ships

itary, naval and transport servico
, which France sent to our aid lu the
American revolution amounted to 47,-
080 men nnd 00 vessels of war and
transports.

France, moreover, advanced to the
depleted treasury of tho revolutionists
the equivalent of $50,000,000, without
Interest, a loun or gift which she has
never claimed. Furthermore she
agreed, and ndhered absolutely to the
compact, that she would ask no share

Incident to victory. This agreement
was the more remarkable In view of
the fact that Englnnd had but a short
time before taken the richest of French
possessions—tho Dominion of Canada.
And It was almost wholly due to
Lafayette that this Invaluuble uid was
given by France to the new republic.
At the time of the declaration of In-
dependence of the United Stutes,
Lafayette was only lu his nineteenth
year. Ills life had been one of ease
and luxury. Ills family was among
the most eminent In France. He was
a nobleman with the title of marquis.

and set forth Immediately to congress,
which was then In session at Phila-
delphia.
Congress at First Lukewarm.
His name nnd fame had preceded
him, yet such was the unsettled state
of affairs that when Lafayette went to
Philadelphia congress was at first luke-
warm concerning him. Some of the
members could not sense the zeal nnd
devotion of n man who had come 3,000
miles to tight in n cause not his own.
There had been a contract signed in
Paris through which Lafayette was to
have the rank of major general in the
American army. Even the wise Frank-
lin. however, did not realize to the full
the worth of Lafayette at this time,
for in a letter of advice he speaks of
the distinguished rank and family of

the young soldier and hints that on ac-
count of the fact that he had a lovely the American standards was largely
termination iu his manner that Wash-
ington at once welcomed him to his
staff. As soon ns the opportunity of-
fered the leuder of the Continental
army put Lafayette In command of
large bodies of men and that judgment
was well justified.
The marquis was severely wounded
at Brnndywine without being aware of
it for a time, so Intense was his devo-
tion to duty. When he recovered he
renewed his activities at the right hand
of General Washington, and lost no
opportunity to serve the nation which
was then coming Into being. He was
with the great leader at Valley Forge,
where he conducted himself with such
sympathy nnd understanding that he
wns soon ns beloved by all the officers
as by the commander himself.
The portrait painters of the time put
the generals nnd colonels of the day
in fine uniforms of blue nnd buff, but
very ofteu some of the ablest had only
nondescript clothes, and some were
even ragged.
Washington once remarked to La-
fayette that to one accustomed to being
with French troops the appearance of
the soldiers of the colonies must indeed
have seemed unusual.
"I come not here to teach, but to
learn,” was the reply of Lafayette.

Lafayette in France, where he did so

enforced by the mi-
litia from the Vir-
ginia tnountnlns. With
4,000 men he gave
battle to Cornwnllls
nt Albemarle nnd sent
him in retreat to
Yorktown. The sur-
render of Yorktown
soon followed, and
Lafayette stood by the
Ride of Washington
when the British
forces laid down their
arms. He received the
thanks of congress
for his part In this
campaign, which
brought triumph at
last to the cause of
American independ-
ence. He returned to
his native land with
the love nnd respect
of a people who re-
vered him as second
only to Washington
himself.

rod, white and blue as that which glor-
ifies our own Stars nnd Stripes, under
which Major General Lafayette, U. b.
A., fought for .the existence of a na-
tion of American freemen.
In the present struggle for the wrest-
ing of the world from the grip of an
avid Attila Americans, British and
French are shoulder to shoulder at the
front. How our General Lafayette
would have enthused and gladdened nt
the thought! The quarrel of the Amer-
ican colonies, many historians show,
was not with the people of England but
with a Hnuoverinn king who acted
against the counsel of the wisest states-
men of British birth. The instinctive
love of fair play which is implanted in
the Englishman rebelled at the thought
of a colonial taxation without represen-
tation.
Lafayette’s attitude to the English
was revealed when, while visiting his
uncle, the Marquis de Noailles, then
ambassador to the Court of St. James,
he declined all invitations to visit ar-
senals and shipyards. beUevlngthatby ^ 1q ^ bflck ftU

Why
Swift & Company
Has Grown
The fact that a business organ-
ization has grown steadily for
forty years proves that it has
kept continually meeting a vital
business demand.
It must have kept “fit” or it could
not have stood the strain of ever-
shifting conditions.
Swift & Company has been trained
in the school of experience.
Every day of its forty years of
service has solved some new problem
of value to its customers.
Every year has proved its ability to
learn by experience, and to use this
knowledge for the benefit of those
with whom it deals.

A mosquito cannot communicate malaria unless
it is infected with malaria. The bite of a malaria
mosquito will transmit malarial parasites to the
blood of a person and these malarial parasites which
feed on the blood should be destroyed before ihey
have time to increase in numbers. Malarial Fever is
sometimes called Chills and Fever, Bilious Fever and
Swamp Fever.
