It is the plain, public duty of every
citizen to criticize proposed govern

Swift & Company is convinced that
interference with its legitimate business

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.

TOO MUCH PAPER HONEY.
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.”

Mrs. Wm. I’pfon on Cross Country
Tour Makes awn Adjustments.
On her return trip, Mrs. William
who alone drove a Ford runabout from
San Francisco to New York Ctyy vis-

office. 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.

Protect Your Cotton.
There is quite a lot of cotton being
hauled from the gins back to the
farms. Practically every bale ginned
in Oconee up to this time is perfect
cotton and will bring the highest mar
ket price if kept in Its present condi
tion.
But it won't bring that price if it
is Thrown out on the ground on the
farms and th? under sides of the
bales allowed to accumulate moisture
from the soil, and the exposed sides
permitted to take -alternate rain and
sunshine. This sort of exposure is
sure to damage the quality of the cot
ton. True, the damage will not extend

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”.
