Yen feel that retail meat prices are too high. Your retailer says he has to pay higher prices to the packers. 7?gwift & Company prove that out of every dollar the retailer pays to the packers for meat, 2 cents is for packers' profit, 13 cents is for operating expenses, and 85 cents goes to the stock raiser; and that the prices of live stock and vnptix move up and down together. The live-stock raiser points to rising costs of raising live stock. Labor reminds us that higher wage? must go hand in hand with the new cost of living. No one, apparently, is responsible. No one, apparently, bv higher prices and higher We are all Hving on a HgR^1 pri?ed scale. One trouble is, that the number of dollars has multiplied faster than the quan tity of goods, so that each dollar biiys less than formerly. Swift & Company, U. S. A.

New York, Feb. ...?So unusual was the service rendered by DeRoy R. Fon vllle of Burlington, N. C., in hla ?. M. C. A. work overseas that Major Gen eral L. S. Upton has written him a 1 personal letter in appreciation of his I efforts. Mr. Fonvllle has returned to his home after ten months service with the Y. M. C. A. Ho was with the Fifth and Sixth Marines and Ninth and Twen ty-third infantry at Chateau Thierry, Solssons and St. Mihiel. It was while he was in a trench waiting to serve the Marines when they "pushed ofT," that a high explosive shell blew par ticles of rock into his eye, blinding it. The same shellflre killed James A. Blrchby, a Y. M. C. A. secretary from Pasadena, Cal., arfllvwounded another Rod Triangle wcwkerVThomas W. Wll but, Jr., of New Britar^, Conn. The lettor of Appreciation that was sent to Mr. Fonvllle by General Upton read as follows: "I have observed yv>ur work as Y. M. C. A. representative of the Ninth infantry for some time and wish to oonvoy to you my appreciation of the uncomplaining and soldier like manner in which you have undergone all without the glory that Is attached ^?l8astt{fft#4cAMonof arms. The work which youna^^WPBSiClta^k^jy^ftt^ ly to the contentment of theffiei^WP thus to the efficiency of the com mand." "My experience gave me an apprec iation of American men and what they can go through." ?aid Mr. Fonvllle. "Our division was a shock unit. It never went any way but forward. Our division alone captured 12,000 priflon ors. Those men appreciated the Y. M. C. A. and understood the difficul ties it had to contend with in getting supplies up to the fro&t. I have no complaint to make about losing the sigjit of one eye, that is war, but it bewilders me to have known what I do of the work of the 'Y' In France and then come home to learn of the criticisms being circulated* here. I believe that in duo time the full a p dreolation of the Y. M. C. A.'s work for victory will be general." SIFTS FROM "Y" HELPEDD0UGHBOY Corporal Irving Abrahams of Now York has Just returned from Fraace. Just because the T. M. C. A. men ! overseas had pone out of their way to treat him well, he took the trouble ! to make his way to the Headquarters [ Building of the National War Work Council, Y. M. C.' A., New York City, and found some one on the 9th floor at Headquarters to tell how much he ap preciated the service of the Red Trian gle. I This Is Just a part of what he said: "J returned from Prance an the 27th of January. Have been wounded three times. Am feeling fine, but the first time when we landed over In France in April. 1917, we took the position up on Chateau Thierry and j the Y. M. C. A. was right with us and brought up on the firing Une choco-1 late, cigarettes, and also pears, bis cuit and done the best and all he could I Just to please the boys. "And In August when we drove the ! Germans back he came up under. heavy shell fire and brought us the same chocolate, cigarettes, and If the I boys didn't have any money he would ' yl"C K tU UB JUHI IHtt HHWB. "Ana up on the Argonne Forest he went under heavy shell fire and J brought up all the candy and choco- j late, and also spoke to the boys to I send our money to our mothers and which we did, and also he told us to send our money home and he will do , all he can for us, and also the boys ol the Third uiviWuu la rery well ploai , ed of the Y. M. C. A. and also thank them ever so Afld itliu whra we got relieved from the Argonnr woods the Y. M. C. A. entertained us, gave us a grand time, and we thank the Y. M. C. A. with our full heart and I we shall never forget them. "So I don't see why the fellows are coming back from France and kicking the Y. M. C. A., and I can speak to anybody and ask them why they are knocking the Y. M. C. A." Red Triangle Man Tells Of Serving At Chateau Thierry The Y. M. C. A. has been criticised because It was said that It had no one at the fighting In the region of Cha teau Thierry. The other day, Ernest C. Bardwell, a New York man, came back from France, broken In health because of his strenuous work In thai region. Mr. Bardwell was one of a party <& Y. M. C. A. men who entered Cha teau Thierry village with supplies at 10 o'clook on the morning of July 21 and worked aH day and far Into the night serving the boys who were beat lng back the Oerman counter-attacks. The last Oerman prisoners, he said, were taken out of Chateau Thierry at Le same morning. THE Y. M. C. A. IN FAR EAST The work of the Y. M C. A.
