The latter bank Is a negTO Institution.
The American Savings bank dis

Solvent hank distributed S7,000 in coin

plan for the past several years, and
have steadily grown untti their members
cumber Into the thousands Bach year
they furnish Christmas money to many
people who otherwise would not tiuve

and customers for the banka, and that
It was one of the most wholesome fea

The Farmer Receives More Than Five
Thousand Dollars a Minute From
Swift & Company
This amount is paid to the farmer for live stock; by
Swift & Company alone, during the trading hours of every
business day.
All this money is paid to the farmer through the open
market in competition with large and small packers, ship
pers, speculators and dealers.
The farmer, feeder, or shipper receives every cent of this money
($300,000 an hour, nearly $2,000,000 a day, $11,500,000 a week) in
cash, on the spot, as soon as the stock he has just sold is weighed up.
Some of the money paid to the farmer during a single day comes
back to the company in a month from sale of products; much does
not come back for sixty or ninety dys or more. But the next day
Swift & Company, to meet the demands made by its customers,
must pay out another $2,000,000 or so, and at the present high
price levels keeps over $250,000,000 continuously tied up in goods on
the way to market and in bills owed to the company.
This gives an idea of the volume of the Swift & Company busi
ness, and the requirements of financing it. Only by doing a large
business can this company turn live stock into meat and by-products
at the lowest possible cost, prevent waste, operate refrigerator cars,
distribute to retailers in all parts of the country and be recompensed
with a profit of only a fraction of a cent a pound a profit too small
to have any noticeable effect on the price of meat or live stock.

Pledgers Are Urged to Make
Good on Promise and Thus
Get Place on Standing
Honor Roll.
Io you want to become a member of
the permanent patriotic roll of Honor
oiitainina the names of all who have
purcnasxd ll.uOv. worth of war savings
sumps now being prepared by me
t'hamber of Commerce.'
It so, communicate, to that organtsa
Uon whether or not you have purchased
the stamps you agreed to buy when you
became a member of the 1.M club.
If you have already redeemed your
pledge it is necessity only to com
municate that fact to the t'hamber of
Commerce. If you have not alwady
bought the stand"-, it will be n cs-
sary for you to do so before you can
ecure such honorary enrollment.
This applies to all members oi 11,900
lubs. regardless of whether they signed
uu with the Chamber of Commerce or
any other organization in Memphis. It
is the only laxly that will make up a
permanent honor roll and it is anxious
to have, cery man or woman who has
agreixl to buy 11,00V worth of
stamps on that roll .is part oi lis per
manent patriotic records.
D, M. Armstrong, chairman of the
Shelby county war savings committee,
called Tuesday on the Chamber of Com
merce, the Cotton exchange, the Mer
chants' exchange and other organiza
tions ex . this plan and he be
lieves that U will greatly stimulate
stamp pledge redemtpion among the
larger buyers.
it is apparent that those who agreed
to buy small amounts of stamps are
redeeming thit pledges with greater
rapidity than those promising to take
larger amounts This Is one of the out
standing features of the campaign
thus far.
The first step in redeeming pledges is
to locate your pledge card. It is at one
of two places, headquarters in the base
ment of the Commercial Trust and Sav
ings bank or at the place you desig
naied when you signed It. Only a fair
Iercentage of the authorised agents
have turned over to headquarters the
pledge cards they held and If your
pledge card has not been turned in, it
Is still in the hands of the agent you
specified on registration day. If you
are not sure where your card is, go to
headquarters and ascertain whether it
Is there If It Is not among those
turned In. you have simply to call on
tin- authorized agent you designated
when you signed the card. .
There appears to be considerable con
fusion about where the cards are and
those in Charge at headquarters ask
that this explanation be made ho that
you may proceed with Intelligence and
without unnecessary delay in locating
your card preparatory to Its redemption.
(Jood progress was reported Tuesday
with the redemption movement and
much gratification is expressed at
headquarters over the manner in which
the camuaian is yielding results. There
are still thousands of cards on which
nothing has been paid, with the result
that efforts lire being redoubled to
bring about realization on the part of
every signer of a pledge the solemn
moral and patriotic obligation that rests
on him to give it his Immedlute atten
tion. Fine Cigars for Xmas.
