Mrs. Philip Rouillard of 147 Beave) street has received a letter from a Y M. C. A. secretary who knew her son who was killed in France on October 23. Praising the bravery and cour- age of her son and sympathizing with her in the loss, he writes as follaws: “Just before leaving France, Not vember 13, I had a conversation with a group of your son's comrades, who were near him when he was fatally wounded during a barrage before Beaumoat Woods in the Verdun sce: tor, Octaber 21. From them T learn- ed that he lived about two davs after being wounded, and died on October 28 at the 102d Field hospital. Both of his Jegs were badly shattered and even if he had lived he would never have been a well man. His brother, Antonlo, at the time T left, was re- ported safe and well, and T sincerely trust that he will roturn to you safe and sound. “While T sympathize with vou with all my heart in the loss of vour son, I congratulate you on being the par- ents of four brave soldiers. Of two of them was required the supreme sacrifice, and they were both willing to make it, and I pray God that in your just pride you will find conso- lation. With sincere regards, faith- fully vours, “OSCAR E. MAURER. “Y. M. C. A.

(Special to the Herald.) Washington, Dec. 24.—In the midst of a very busy official day, today, Congressman Aungustine y,nnm-g.{n took time to extend through the pre: his Christmas greetings to the re dents of Hartford county. The con- gressman has been particularly oc- cupied during the short session and finds it impossible to get in touch with his friends individually. many Cattle Buying For Swift & Company Swift & Company buys more than 9000 head of cattle on an average, every market day. Each one of them is “sized up” by experts. Both the packer’s buyer and the commission salesman must judge what amount of meat each animal will yield, and how fine it will be, the grading of the hide, and the quantity and quality of the fat. Both must know market conditions for live stock and meat throughout the country. The buyer must know where the different qualities, weights, and kinds of cattle can be best marketed as beef. If the buyer pays more than the animal is worth, the packer loses moneyon it. Ifhe offers less, another packer, or a shipperor feeder, gets it away from him. i If the seller accepts too little, the live-stock raiser gets less than he is entitled to. If he holds out for more than it is worth, he fails to make a sale. A variation of a few cents in the price per hundred pounds is a matter of vital importance to the packer, because it means the difference between profit and loss. Swift & Company, U. S. A.
