cent of profiteering, laying the
blame on the retailers, who buy

sav. But wholesale meat prices I !
are beginning to tumble.
The U. S. Civil Service Com-1
mission has announced an exam-
ination for Kiowa county to be,

Notice of a boost in some of the
taxable property in Kiowa county i
ranging from 20 per cent on land
value to 120 per cent on thresh-1
% ing separators was received Mon-1
day Uv the Kiowa County Excise

look good, and butterfl es arc so
nic: and cool,’ she told a friend. !

Is it Possible to Legislate
life and Brains?
Swift & Company is
primarily an organization
of men, not a collection
of brick, mortar,, and
machinery.
Packing Plants, their
equipment and - useful-
ness are only outward
symbols of the intelli-
gence, life - long experi-
ence, and right purpose
of the men who compose
the organization and of
those who direct it
Will not Government direc-
tion of the packing industry,
now contemplated by Congress,
take over the empty husk of
physical property and equipment
and sacrifice the initiative, ex-
perience and devotion of these
men, which is the life itself of
the industry?
What legislation, what politi-
cal adroitness could replace such
life and brains, once driven out?
Let ua send you a Swift "Dollar."
It will interest you.
