If you would have your happiness secure, the root of it must be within yourself. This is not a doctrine of selfishness, but of self-defense. , Much of our happiness is necessarily bound up with other people, it is the result of our human relationship. Companionship is that which tempers laughter, play and work, and is the essence itself of love. Very many of us never get beyond this ‘range of joy. We are incapable of any pleasure that is not communal, We shudder at solitude. of boredom. We flee ourself as the prince | ts of time and circumstance, must dis- rover themselves. They must have some ultimate resource that the world cannot touch, Some people find this in their vocation. Some in their avocation. Some discover it in the fruits of their imagination, Some find it in religion. One thing is sure. The strong soul, the hero for whom nothing is tragic, the well poised life which no untoward event can thrust into panic, is that one who has learned that the deepest supplies upon which the soul feeds, the most inexhaust- | ible and wholesome supplies, are those that lie within himself, AGo! i'm An’ No CHEATING’ Doin’ THis uMpeR) \ ErTHERs we) VROTEST YA — yee UNDER STAND He has conducted during the last five | of New York, Philadelphia, Washington and Chi-| He has shown that our dread of the North was ely our dread of the unknown.

The number of animals shipped to market varies from week to week. The demand for meat also changes frequently, and often unexpectedly. This means that live-stock prices and wholesale meat prices change from day to day. Competition de- termines prices so that the supply on hand at any one time is just taken up by the demand. Swift & Company doesn’t like these price changes. We have to use the utmost skill in buying and selling in order to get our average profit of a fraction of a cent per pound of meat.
