She believes He has, for she wants to die. To her life is a trial. , . On the day before she. celebrated her 108th’ birthday—April 18—Mrs. Smith said: i ’ “God has forgotten I'm here.” The woman’s history is an interest- ing one. It dates back to 1812 when she was born on the islfnd of Ma- deifia, near Portugal. Mrs. Smith is a Portuguese. Before her marriage her name was Alves. When a child the:family, through prosecution, was forced into exile. Religion was the cause. Her mother was condemned to die, but appeals were taken to Queen Victoria of England by inter- ested friends and her sentence was commuted to a fine. Queen Victoria obtained the communication through her friendship with Queen Donna Maria, the then ruling sovereign of Portugal. But Mrs. Smith’s mother GRAIN AND HAY Veal ... ...

After two years’ residence there they emigrated to America. Shortly after arriving in New York the family came by tedi- fous stages to Illinois, settling in Jacksonville, a few miles from here. The Alves family is probably the oldest living family in the United States. All its members are noted for longevity. * WOMEN IN RACE FOR CONGRESS (By United Press) Portland, Ore., May 11.—Whoever wins the republican nomination for congress in the third Oregon (Port- land) district, at the primaries May 21, will have to beat a woman at the general election next November, if he wins his way to Washington, D.

The | Northern National “At Your Service” BEMIDJI * Swift & Company Does Not Control Its Raw Material Other industries can buy their raw materials according to need or judgment, and set a selling pricee. They need manufacture only what they can sell at their price. Cotton, wool, wheat, lumber, iron, steel, and other non-perishables, can be held either by their producers or their users until needed. = - But live stock comes to market every day in fluctuating quantities from scat- tered . sources, wholly uncontrolléd and at times without regard to market needs. An immediate outlet must be found for the perishable products, at whatever price, as only a very small proportion -can be stored. No one can foresee or stipulate what they shall bring; prices must fluctuate from day to day to insure keeping the market clear. Only the most exacting care of every detail of distribution enables Swift & Company to make the smafl profit from all sources of a fraction of a cent per pound, necessary for it to con- tinue to obtain capital and maintain operations.
