RED CROSS NEWS.
One of the loveliest gifis received
by ihe Weldon Red Cross recently
was a box of baby's woolens (lillle
Charlotte Ann's) the contribution
of Mrs. C. R. Kmry. Surely some
little sick, thinly clad Belgian baby
will be made more comfortable and
happy by the receipt of these
warm clothes, and the Weldon Red
Cross wishes to express its appre
ciation for this valuable contribution.
It may be that there are others
who can make a similar contribu
tion, and if so, the Red Cross will
be so glad to forward the same to
the Belgian Relief Commission.
The Red Cross workers in Bel
gium say: "In Belgium the most
touching things were the affection
and confidence of the children in
everything American. The chil
dren could not get near enough to
the American Red Cross uniform.
They reached out to us, and were
never so happy as when they could
touch us or cling to us with their
iinv hands," So. when we hnv
nice, new warm clothes for our
little ones, let s not forget those
in Belgium who will be needing
warm clothing, and who will be so
grateful 10 receive what we have
to spare.

Meat Must Be Sold
Fresh meat is perishable. It
must be told with! a about two
weeks for whatever it will bring.
A certain amount of
beef is frozen for foreign
shipment, but domestic
markets demand fresh,
chilled, unfrozen beef.
Swift & Company can
not increase prices by
withholding meat, be
cause it will not keep fresh
and salable for more than
a few days after it reaches
the market.
Swift 8c Company cannot tell
at the time of purchasing cattle,
what price fresh meat will bring
when put on sale. If between
purchase and sale, market con
ditions change, the price of meat
must also change.
The Food Administration
Kmits our profit to 9 per cent on
capital invested in the meat
departments. This is about 2
cents per dollar of sales. No
profit is guaranteed, and the
risk of loss is not eliminated.
As a matter of fact, meat is
often sold at a loss because of
the need of selling it before it
spoils.
Swift & Company, U.S. A.

Finds Pleasure in Doing Without to Support Our

"I did not think that I could eat cornbread till after the war started,
and I thought I could never do without dessert and iced tea," wrote a
woman to Slate headquarters recently. "But now I am doing without
it and am glad to be able to give up more than these things to be able
to help support our soldiers. 1 am now paying for a Liberty Bond
and have pledged 10 buy one hundred dollars of War Savings Stamps
before the year is out."
