Swift & Company is convinced that interference with its legitimate business function by* governmental agencies,* however well intentioned, would be an injury to every man, woman and child who wants meat to eat, as well as to the men who raise the meat and to those who dress and distribute it.

Fifteen Countries Issue Thirty-six Bfl- llons in Last Four Years. Alexander E. Outerbridge, Jr., in Phil adelphia Public Ledger. The enormous output of paper money by 15 responsible governments has contributed more to the high cost of living in the last four years than has the increase in production of gold in the last 40 years. This increase of paper money is, of course, only one of TTOffiSFoiis 'fcbntriVutfiig causes which seem to make it hopeless to expect any material reduction in the cost of living in the immediate future, or. In deed, for many years to come. For several years before the recent war the gradual but progressive in crease in cost of living was almost un iversally attributed by economists and by many financial writers to the great increase in production of gold—the recognized'standard of values—which had quadrupled in 20 years. 3Iany students of the subject at that time viewed with alarm the increase in the annual production of gold from one billion to four billion dollars with in 30 years. They offered the figures as a basis for the theory of “guantum dT-«oItP”-ffttvfhg" slf eailjT' r eached’-Tt "saturation point" where the cost of living increased by reason of the de- « M 1 IM yfSBfrffTTffueto increased production. But now the avalanche of paper money started by the war is causing a grave problem for the bankers, ac cording . to a recent dispatch from Paris. Since each state is manufac turing paper money based on no more sound foundation thap its future pros perity, the dispatch says, sensible peo ple are beginning to see that the amount of paper money in circulation is a tremendous evil to be. remedied promptly, if the international house is ever to be* put in order. Oscar P. Austin, statistician of the New York National City bank, says: "I wonder if we fully realize the quantity of paper money which the responsible governments of the world have put afloat since the beginning of the war—436,000,000,000? "The paper money in existence in the 15 principal countries of the world at the beginning of the war was less than $8,000,000,000, and at the end of the war was over $44,000,000,000, an increase of ^36.000,000,000 in 51 months; and this does not include any of the $80,000,000,000 worth of paper currency issued by the Bolsheviki in the 18 months, of their control in RussiA. "Thirty-six billion dollars of new paper money was added to the circula tion of the world by 15 responsible governments in a little over. four years of ime. ... Do we realize how vast a sum is this $3^,000,000,000 worth of paper currency which .has been put into circulation in such a brief time? It is more, in its face value, than all the gold and all the silver turned out by all the mines of all the world in the 427 years since the discovery of America.” entirely thrcugh the hales, but when the cotton is sold dt will bring the price that the surface condition shows in grading.

She was introduced to the of ficials of the Company, was photo graphed, held in her hand a Ford check worth two figures of millions, recount ed the experiences she had encount ered on her trip, and before leaving made arrangements for eecuting a new Ford car immediately upon her return to her home in Bakerfield, Cal- i ifornia. Mrs. Upton has already driven her present Ford more than 22,000 miles, 7,000 of which were driven since she left San Francisco May 11th, the long est day’s drive being 160 miles. At Springfield, Illinois, Mrs. Upton’s* birthplace, she plans to dispose of the car and after visiting her many friends there, will return home via rail. When commenting on her trip, she said that in making the drive from the Atlantic to the Pacific, it had not been her purpose to follow a direct line of travel, but to visit the most important cities and places of interest. She visit ed the Petrified Forest, spent several days in the National Capital, drove to Mount Vernon, visited the site of the Battle of Gettysburg, and then after touring to soide of the Atlantic Coast Cities, made her way to New York. She experienced practically no trouble with her csr. although she pointed out the fact that she under stands the Ford motor and made her own adjustments. Before leaving the Ford Company, Mrs. Upton expressed the hope that her next Ford, probably another runabout, will be equipped with a .Ford starter. is Bank Has Been Built By Its Friends The growth of this bank is due. to the loyalty of our satisfied depositors.

Me per bottle Wealthy Chinese has novel trip from this (life to next There was a pretty custom among some of the ancients when a promi nent citizen died, to send his valet along with him on the road to Para dise, and it was oftentimes necessary to resort to extreme methods to in sure this company for the departed. Put in the territory of the China- American Trading Company, Ford dealers in Tientsin, China, they have discovered a much better aid to the deceased over the rough places on the trip to the Promised Land. It is a custom of the Chinese to burn varous kinds of effigies at the funeral ceremonies of the rich, the more wealthy the departed the more elab orate the figures burned over his grave. These effigies represent every manner of thing such as human figures, horses, sedan chairs, tables loaded with money, etc. The figures usually conform to some of these sterotyped fashions, but at the funeral of a Mr. Li, who died a short time ago in Tientsin, and who was & very wealthy man, the bereaved family outdid them selves and made an imitation of the deceased gentleman’s Ford car to be burned at his grave. '' This Ford efligy was made entirely of strong Chinese paper stretched on bamboo and reed frames. The car was complete In every detail, pedals accurately placed, and all made of,pa per sod bamboo. The interior of the v car was also accurate in detail, being carefully upholstered in paper. The effigy of the driver as shown in the photograph, was a work of art! The car -was carried about thred miles through crowded streets to the grave side where a match was applied and it was consumed in a few minutes. —This is the first time a motor car has been burned at the grave of a hinese, and there is every reason to believe that the deceased went up “On High”.
