Several thousand feet over the Capitol, he looped, dove and turned his machine up side down, but never disturbing the imperturbality of Empey, who as they were descending, shouted to the pilot to know when he was golng to begin with his stunts. “Empey is too tough a proposition for me,” admitted the filer, in telling of his experience, as any person will learn who tries to pull anything on him. Sergeant Empey will be seen in actual airship scenes in Vitagraph’s picturization of his famous book, “Over the Top,” based on his experi- ences in first line trenches. In one scene he captures a German flier be- hind his own lines and forces him to fly with Empey and an American girl to safety behind the French and British linea. ® into B | had savea his life by | ment, 'REVELATIONS By | What Happened When ¥ Einest and the ge Covered Young Army Officer Dashed to the Old Windmill.

He put his left hand to his belt and drew from it the mate to the weapon he had in his right hand. “I can shoot equally well with cither hand,” he observed as if casual- iv to Ernest. Then he held out the first revolver to me. “If T Don’t—" “Dan’'t hesitate to shoot at his slightest movement,” he said to me, and there was a command in his volce which I would not have dared to disobey even if T had been more tremulous than I was. ““As for you'’—his eyes had never left Ernest, but his voice now turned to him with ugly menace—"get dack against that tree, You may turn arcund, but keep yvour hands up.” “Thank you so much, shoulder straps,” piped Ernest in ludicrous falsetto imitation of a posing woman.

The United States Department of Agriculture reported in 1916 that the farmer gets for his cattle “approximately two-thirds to three-fourths” of the final retail price paid by the consumer for the resulting beef. Under normal conditions, the farmer’s share of retail prices of various farm products is approx- imately as follows: Butter 71 per cent CATTLE 6625 to 75 per cent Eggs 65 per cent Potatoes 55 per cent Poultry 45 per cent Fruits 35 per cent The difference between farmer’s price and retail price represents the necessary expenses of packing, freight and wholesale and retail distribution. Swift & Company not only performs the manufac- turing operations of preparing cattle for market in its well-equipped packing plants, but it pays. the freight on meat to all parts of the United States, operates 500 branch distributing houses, and in most cases even delivers to the retail butcher. All this is done at an expense of less than 2 cents per pound, and at a profit of only about Y4 of a cent per pound of beef. Large volume of business and expert manage- ment, make possible this indispensable service to the live-stock raiser and to the consumer, and make possible the large proportion of retail prices received by farmers.
