The happi est man in the world is the com mon, every day chap, who makes makes his own living, pays his own hills and and has the respect of his neighbors. He saves a little money as he goes along, but does not try to get a corner on his local output and he is not a slave to am bition or society. He never ex pects to wear out his trousers in the senate aud when he glides out of the bed in the morning he never wastes any time trying to pick out the right tint of socks, suspender and necktie that will blend with the general effect. He only wears a high collar when he feels like it, and when his pet corn begins to jump, he jerks out his knife and cuts four-inch gash in the side of his shoe and nothing is said about it in the local paper, He never has to set up at night to poultice his conscience, He believes the doctrine of live and let live. When he encounters one of the needy he doesn't stutter with his pocket book. The plain plug of a man is happy because he is satisfied and he doesn't spend half of time yearning for something which his salary will not permit him to buy. Give us more plain men and the world will be better. How Would It Do. To liven up. To push things. To boom your town. To advertise your business. To renew your subscription.

The National Y. W. C. A. is asking for a million dol lars in the United States to carry on its peace work, which has in creased ten fold since war was de clared in 1917. North Carolina is asked to give $14,751.00, and Halifax county will gladly contrib ute its share to this most laudable work. During the war the Y. W. C. A. has gone overseas, helping not only American women, but the women of foreign countries as well. The Y. W. C. A. is no respecter of creed, race or color, At home it has established hostess houses at the camps, and has aided thousands of girls and women who have been engaged in war work. As war industries close down there will be thousands of young girls thrown out of employment. These young women will be going from one place to another seeking employment; many of them will obtain employment in strange cities and under conditions entire ly new to them. The Young Womens Christian Association has most earnestly at heart the welfare of these young women, and it is the purpose of the Association to endeavor in every way possible to assist them in adjusting themselves to the new and untried conditions arising in connection with this reconstruc tion period.

CLARK, CommiMioQer 13 Dollars -13 Cents When Swift & Company paid, say, 13 dollars per hun dredweight for live beef cattle last year, the profit was only 13 cent! In other words, if we had paid $13.13, we would have made no profit. Or, if we had received a quarter of a cent per pound less for dressed beef we would have made no profit It is doubtful whether any other business is run on so close a margin of profit This is bringing the producer and the consumer pretty close together which should be the object of any industry turning raw material into a useful form. This remarkable showing is due to enormous volume, perfected facilities (packing plants strategically located, branch houses, refrigerator cars, etc.), and an army of men and women chosen and trained to do their special work. This, and many other points of interest, are found in the Swift & Company Year Book for 1919. just published which is brought out for the public as well as for the 25,000 Swift ft Company shareholders. The Year Book also represents the packer's side of the Federal Trade Commission investigation, upon which Congress is asked to base action against the industry.
