ONE ON THE JUDOE.
I A certain judge could noi con
I irol his temper, and consequently
I could not control other people.
I One day there was unusual disor
der in court, and at last the judge
could endure it no longer.
"It is impossible to allow this
persistent contempt oi court to go
on," he exclaimed; "and I shall
bi forced to go to the extreme
length of taking the one step that
will stop it."
There was a long silence, then
one of the leading counsel rose,
and with just a trace of a smile, in
quired: "If it please your honor
from what date will your resigna
tion take effect.
WHEN SHE WAS NAUGHTY.
Helen is a linle girl, who lives
on the south side. The other day
she was very naughty and that
night she said to her nurse:
"I was naughty today, wasn't I,
Sarah?"
"Yes," answered Sarah. "You
were so naughty you almost made
your mother ill?"
"Well," sighed Helen, "I'm
going 10 be better. But would you
be good all at once, or just gradu
ally?" WAIT I
"Phwat's thot noise, Mrs. Mul

Despite its scope Swift &
Company is a business of in
finite details, requiring; infinite
attention.
Experienced men must know
livestock buying; with a knowl
edge of weight, price, the amount
and quality of meat the live
animals will yield.
Each manufacturing operation must
be done with expert skill and scientific
precision. A highly perishable product
must be handled with speed and care
to avoid loss.
Chemists, engineers, accountants,
and other specialists are required to
take care of our intricate problems.
Alert wisdom and judgment must
be used in getting stocks of goods into
the open channels of demand through
our four hundred branch houses.
Branch house organizations must
show activity and energy to sell at the
market in the face of acute competi
tion from other large packers, and
hundreds of small ones.
All these requirements of intelligence,
loyalty, devotion to the task, are met
in the personnel of Swift St Company.
Yet the profit is only a fraction of ft cent
per pound with costs at minimum.
How can the workings of this deli
cate human mechanism be improved
upon?
Do you believe that Government
direction would add to our efficiency
or improve the service rendered the
producer and consumer?
Let u send you a Swift "Dollar".
It will interest you.

President Says Welfare Work
Must be Maintained in Full
Strength for Men Overseas
URGES ALL UNITED WAR WORK CAMPAIGN ('LEDGES PAID OR ,
WELFARE WORK WILL SUFFER NECESSARY FOR
SOUTH TO "SPEED UP" ITS PAYMENTS OR 1
DROP BEHIND
Washington, D. C The need for the payment of United War Work
Campaign subscriptions has become so acute because ot the danger that
the work of the welfare organisations for our soldiers still in uniform
will be curtailed that a letter to Raymond B. Fosdick, chairman of the
Commission on Training Camp Activities, from President Wilson, lm
been made public. This letter from President Wilson, better than miy
other document, shows the great need for continuing the welfare work
until the Army ot Occupation Is withdrawn and demokllzatlon is com
pleted. It Is to back up the President's request and to till the ireat need
for cash to carry on the work that "Speed Up" Week. July 28th to
August 4th, has been Inaugura'ed so that everyone who has not paid his
pledge will do so at that time.
The President of ths United States of America.
Paris, 18 April, 1111, "
My Dear Mr. Foidlck:
All that I have seen and heard ever hers In Francs has but
added to my sense of profound appreciation of the vital Importance
of maintaining In full volume and strength the service of the ssvsn
organisations which last fall joined In a united campaign for sup.
port tht Young Msn's Christian Association, the Young Women's
Christian Association, tht National Catholic War Council (Knights
of Columbus), tht Jewish Wslfart Board, tht War Camp Com
munity Service, tht American Library Association and ths Salvt
tltn Army, on behalf tf our ttldisrs and aalltrt.
In sdditlen to tht nttdt which txlstsd at tht beginning of tht
war, there art now addtd and vtry Imperative reasons why this '
work should bt continued during tht period of demoblllsstion.
Tht American people thowsd In a rsmarkablt manner their
wholehearted support of tht cause for which their men were ftght.
Ing when thty rtspondtd st gtntroutly to ths appeal of tht United
War Work Campaign last November, and I earnestly hope that tht
wholt amount thtn subscribed may bs forthcoming, In order that
this flnsl helpful snd still absolutely nscssssry ministry on behalf
of the men who hava givtn thtmsslvts with such rare dtvotlon to
tht nttlon't came may bt In every' way worthy of thslr wonderful
spirit
Cordlaiy and slnctrtly yours,
WOODROW WILSON.
