THE CHRONICLE, TEAGUE, TEXAS. AUGUST 6, 1920.
Prices
Up or Down?
High prices for livestock in-
crease the producer’s income.
Low prices decrease it and even
result in losses. Similarly, high
prices for meat increase con-
sumer’s expenses.
But Swift & Company as a
middleman does not benefit by
high or low prices. Our income
depends not on a high level of
prices or a low level, but rather
on the margin between the live-
stock price and the meat and
by-products price.
The company’s only concern,
in whether prices should be
high or low, is that they should
be high enough to satisfy pro-
ducers and low enough to please
consumers; but over the move-
ment of these prices Swift &
Company has no control.
Swift & Company is compelled
by competition to pay high
enough prices for livestock to
secure an adequate supply. We
must sell meat at a price low
enough to make it move. We
endeavor also, between the two
prices, to secure a margin large
enough to pay all expenses and
yield a fair profit.
Ourprofitfor 1919 averaged less
than two cents on each dollar of
sales, or 63/5 per cent on money
invested.

of Prepare to Help Handle Ten
Million Bales of Cotton This
Year.
The Government estimates
this year’s cotton crop at ten
million bales. Prepare to help
handle this enormous crop, It
requires from four to six weeks
to qualify. If you act quickly
you can be ready. We have
the largest and best equipped
Sample Room in the State, with
a solid glass wall on the north
to afford light. This room was
constructed especially for
teaching the cotton work. There
being such a difference in the
grades of cotton and with the
ever increasing demand for
help along this line, young men
and women should prepare
themselves immediately. When
we say women, we say so based
on the fact that there are sev-
eral women taking our cotton
classing, realizing what an op-
portunity is open to them and
the State admits women to the
Cotton Examination the same
as men.
A special summer course is
given for $40.00, including tui-
tion, samples and material for
cotton grading.
In order to ge in in time to
prepare for the coming cotton
season, write, wire or phone for

chosen captain of the 15th Iow a

some of the most important

The end of the Civil War saw
Captain Thatcher an active or-

the Republic movement. Later

of Pensions at Washington, D.
C., serving as a Federal officer

In 1914 Captain Thatcher
retired from government ser-
vice and removed to Berkeley,
where the family home was es-
tablished. At one time he was
commander of George H. Thom-
as Post, G. A. R., at Washing-
ton, D. C., and since residing at
Berkeley had been active in the
Lookout Mountain Post.

and I couldn’t get around the
house. The action of these or-
gans was too frequent and I
had pains in the small of my
back. My head often felt light
and I became run down and
weak. I had seen Doan’s Kid-
ney Pills recommended and I
immediately got a box. I soon
felt somewhat better and aj>out
five boxes completely cured me.

Texas schools where pupils ate not

their existence, as they do not prepare
puplla to be efficient citizens,” said
Peyton Irving, Jr., State Supervisor of
High Schools of the Department of Kd
ucatlon.” State Superintendent Blan-
ton ban enthusiastically approved the
teaching of thrift In all schools and
most of the teachers are cooperating
with the Savings Division of the U. S
Treasury In this work.
"But mere preaching In not teaching
thrift,” he points out.
"When pupils have been taught to
save, the job Ib not complete; they
must be shown how to Invest. And it
Is here the moral question Intrudes.
For some safe and certain, guaran
teed not-to-lose securities, munt be
recommended, for one can no more
learn wine investment without buying
securities (ban one can master phys-
ics without a laboratory. Ix>cal In
vestments abound, there Is no dearth
of persons to take a pupil's money and
give a graven gilt certificate therefor.
Yet no teacher could afford to charac-
terize a local oil company as an un-
safe Investment.
"t'nder these circumstances patri-
otism and high ethical Ideas join
hands with common sense The thing
1o do is to recommend the purchase
of War Savings Stamps and Register-
ed Treasury Savings Certificates. They
are always worth more than lliev
cost; they can lie converted Into cash
at the postofflre any time at a profit,
and whai Is more, their ownership

The State of California has
placed her unqualified O-K on
Horse-Shoe Tires by specifying
them exclusively for all state
owned cars.
This sixty-five thousand dollar con-
tract was placed after Horse-Shoe
Tires had proven their actual superi-
ority. If a tire can make so good on
the heat shrouded deserts, the snow
clogged mountain passes and jagged
mountain trails of California, do you
wonder it is making so good right here?
