waa eventually recaptured by fresh
entmy attacks. After ascertaining
thstt hi three other posts were cut

enemy with one officer and six men
offhis company. Finding teventy
m of the battalion on his left re
tiring, he collected them, counter
attacked, and took up a line which
he maintained until reinforcement
arrived. Without this action the
defense of the bridge must have
ben turned. In two subsequent
operation, when in command of a
composite company, he covered the
retirement of his battalion with
skill and courage Later, with a
party of battalion headquarters, he
pressed through the enemy in the
viljage. firing at them in the streets,
thus covering the left flank of the
battalion retirement. Finally, on a
st iB later occasion, when in com
mand of a mixed force of the brig
ade, he re-ettablished, after hard

ahanotied before his arrival. He
was twice wounded within ten days,

Producing and Saving
For Fighters
THE folks who make food grow
are just about the most impor
tant element in the nation's life
nowadays. They're providing the ba
sis of the world's activities. From the
small garden in the backyard, to the
huge acreage of the wheat and corn
fields, the food producer is helping to
win the war.
Hart Schaffner & Marx
Clothes
Now good clothes are an element
in winning the war, too. They're not
a producing factor but they're a con
serving factor. You can save or waste
when you buy clothes.
If you get all-wool fabrics, you've
saved money and wool; because all
wool wears so much better than any
thing else that such clothes really cost
less, and wear out less wool, than
cheap stuff.
You ought lo buy and wear Hart Schaffnrr

Bridging the Gap From
Steer to Steak
Live stock is 'raised on the farms and
ranches of the West
Meat is eaten in the large cities of the
Eastand by pur boys in France thousands
of miles away.
The day of transporting live animals from ranch to
seaboard and overseas has passed There was too much
waste. The modern packer locates his large and special
ized plants in the producing regions. He ships the
dressed beef iri refrigerator cars, and h61ds it in his own
refrigerated branch warehouses until delivered to the
retailer. For shipment to foreign porta, he transfers the
meat to refrigerated ships.
By means of his nation-wide organization the
modern packer maintains a continuous flow of meats
to all parts of the country, so thaj each retailer gets
just the quantity and quality of meat his trade demands,
and at the time he wants it
Swift & Company recently shipped 1,000 carloads of
meat products in one week to our Armies and to the
Allies.
Bridging the gap from ranch to consumer can be
done successfully and at low unit costs and profits
only by large business organizations.
Swift & Company's profit on meat, always so small
as to have practically no effect on prices, is now limited
by the Government to about 2 cents on each dollar
of sales.
