enaeane GERMANS TRIED 70 WORK. UPON YANK SYMPATHY Propaganda Showered on Ameri- can Lines Before End of War Makes Interesting Reading Since Result Is Known The Germans sought to stay the final crushing drive of the American and Allied forces: is reflected in docu- ments recently brot to light concern- ing propaganda directed at the Yan- kee fighters in an effort to weaken the morale of the army. Hundreds of pounds of paper were wasted in this vain attempt and while it failed en- tirely of its purpose, some of these communications make interesting reading to the layman who did not have the opportunity to pluck them from the air as they fluttered down from the Hun aircraft. So far as known the only one re- ceived in Casper is a copy of one picked up by C. B. Gillis, a cousin of Louis F. McMahon. Gillis is an engineer with the aerial forces and the manner in which the Germans hoped to “stop the war” is contained in the following migsive which was dropped behind the Amerivan lines by the hundreds on Sunday, Octo- ber 27: “HOW TO STOP THE WAR” “Do your part to put an end to the war. .Put an end to your part of it. Stop fighting, that’s the simplest way. You can do it you soldiers, just desperation with which the, NATRONA COUNTY TRIBUNE L.A REED GIVEN "ENTIRE CHARGE ~ REFINING WORK Promotion Puts Former Casper | Manager at Head of Manu- ufacturing Department of Great Wyoming Concern % |the Midwest Refinery here, has been the Midwest company.

All this money is paid to the farmer through the open market in competition with large and ff | small packers, shippers, speculators and dealers. The farmer, feeder, or shipper receives every cent of this money ($300,000 an hour, nearly $2,000,000 a day, $11,500,000 a week) in | cash, on the spot, as soon as the stock he has Some of the money paid to the farmer dur- ing a single day comes back to the company in | a@ month from sale of products; much does not | come back for sixty or ninety days or more. | But the next day Swift & Company, to meet the demands made by its customers, must pay out another $2,000,000 or so, and at the present high | price levels keeps over $250,000,000 continuously | tied up in goods on the way to market and in bills owed to the company. 5 This gives an idea of the volume of the | Swift & Company bisiness and the requirements of financing it. Only by doing a large business can this company turn live stock into meat and by-products at the lowest possible cost, prevent waste, operate refrigerator cars, distribute to retailers in all parts of the country — and be recompensed with a profit of only a fraction of a cent a pound—a profit too small to have any’ noticeable effect on the price of meat or live stock.
