Natrona county and more highways for Wyoming. More equitable freight rates for shippers of the Rocky Mountain region and more frequent train service for Casper. THE NATIONAL CHAIRMAN John T. Adams, chairman of na- tional Republican organization has managed to let the question of the world court upset him to such an extent that he seems ready to read President Harding and Secretary Hughes right out of the party, willy-nilly. He now returns to his desk in Washington and re-issues a statement purporting to thought of the Republican National Committee charging our late allies with “crooked dealing” in the set- tlement of the U. S. Army costs on the Rhine. The original state- ment, which was withdrawn at the request of Secretary of State Hughes, was along the same lines, only slight less so The question of “crooked deal- ing” laid at t yor of England and France migh? well be taken up in_a little softer voice. The nation- al chairman seems to be guided in his utterance by a warlike spirit. He is Mars with a megaphone. There is no need for Mr. Adams to call England, France and the pres- ent administration, including the president and secretary of state, , harsh names in such an angry tone. Whether he approves of the world court or not, there seems no good reason why he should let that over- balance his judgment. His shout- ing will not redound to the credit of party solidarity; and if he con- tinues to talk he may be heard for his much speaking by creating a Republican split which will take/ time to heal.

In| any case, Mr. Adams is doing his party the least possible good by em barrassing the administration and! taking upon himself the responsi- bility of voicing the sentiments of “the peepul.” Is it entirely heretical to ask who is Mr. Adams, anyway?

THAT CENSUS THING The New York Sun is much ats-| traught over the fact that Jersey | City claims to have a larger popu- lation than is given it by the Fed-| eral census of 1920. It bemoans} the “tendency of American cities| to question census returns, and) |goes on to say that local censuses Jare ‘less painstaking and more lowing” ” The Sun surmises that it would be a triumph of urbanity jif an American City ever allowed itself to be distanced in the race for numerical supremacy without ac-} cusing the Census Bureau of inef- ficiency, partiality and other sins. | There may be a grain of truth in| | what the Sun has to say, but it is| |so obscured by the chaff that it is | difficult to uncover the kernel of| |versimilitude. The fact of the mat-} ter is that the Census Bureau, like many other governmental depart ments, is as replete with inefficiency as a pug dog is with fleas. Casper is a magnificent case in point. The census takers here found the “gumbo” going too heavy. They were poor mud-runners, in the lan- guage of the race track. They were not likely to lose their jobs— which is one of the main reasons why government in this country, | particularly among underlings is in- \efficient. Therefore they took a |casual census of those who live on | or very near the pavement, guessed | a little, walked very little, and con-| cluded that Casper had about 11,-| 000 souls. The “gumbo” season} proved too much of a handicap for) government-paid workers to over-| come. When they could still get) their money from Uncle Sam with- out lifting feet plastered with gum- bo, why wade about in sticky mud? The answer was, they didn’t. | The Chamber of Commerce has| frequently since that time proved| just how inadequate and ineffi-| cient was the 1920 census. Of| course, it is the business of Cham-| bers of Commerce to be optimistic;| but there is no debate possible on the point that Casper’s population was grossly underestimated in what passes for the “official” figures. Perhaps Jersey City fared better than Casper di New York City itself, without seri- ous competition for municipal greatness, can best afford to be charitable in overlooking census shortcomings. As a matter of fact, New York City was not so over- whelmingly charitable, if memory serves, when her population returns showed her smaller than she thought she was. The editorial bellow which went up at that time is still ringing in the ears of the census takers, provided census takers are not deaf as well as blind. epee?

Swift borrowed $20 from his father and started in the packing business. Hard work on his part and on the part of the associates whom he presently gathered about him caused the business to grow. When frst incorporated, Swift & Company had six shareholders. The nation was grow- ing and needed meat, and the young com- pany grew also. As more money was needed the business was enlarged by enlisting the co-operation of more shareholders. The first little plant at Barnstable, Mass., has given way to 23 modern packing plants Strategically located. More than 400 branch houses and 600 car routes distribute the meat carried in more than 6,000 refrigerator Today Swift & Company’s service in meat to retailers here and abroad repre- sents the effort of nearly 100,000 people co- operating with their savings or daily toil. More than 45,000 men and women have co-operated with us by investing their money in shares of Swift & Company. Nearly 50,000 men and women who work in these offices, plants and branch houses— 16,000 of whom also are shareholders— are giving us their co-operation in building the business. They take a just pride in the promptness and precision of its service and and high quality of its 8 Premium Hams and Ba- con, “Silverleaf” Brand Pure Lard, Premi- um Frankfurts and other Swift products are symbols of their hearty co-operation and of their belief in the Company. uniformity Swift & Company, U.S. A.
