THE OLNEY ENTERPRISE—100 Per Cent American
Good intentions are splendid as
far as they go, but after your death
your wife cannot pay the butcher
bill with them.
Full stomachs and settled gov-
ernment evidently go together—
else why food to prevent Bolshev-
ism?
America can now gratify to the
utmost her love for parades. There
are plenty of fifes and drums and
khaki at hand.

Do You Want to Know
Both Sides ?
Swift & Company’s 1919 Year Book,
just out, tells you
What Swift Sc Company’s profits
were in 1918,
The truth about the Federal Trade
Commission’s investigation,
Why the prices of butter and eggs
are so high,
And many other vital facts.
Whether or not you agree with us after
reading this Year Book, you will at least
know both sides.
You will find it interesting; Americans like
to hear about big things done in a big way.
You will also discover that we are merely
human beings like yourself, doing in the best
possible way a necessary service.
Legislation is pending in Washington; as
a good American citizen you want to know
both sides of this question. It concerns you,
as well as one of the most important industries
in the country.
Do not hesitate to send for a copy of this
booklet. Your name and address are all we need.

According to a statement by the
Federal Reserve Board, war service
represents the greatest activity of
the Federal Reserve banks during
1918. The larger portion of the
funds collected for the government
was disbursed in New York City,
necessitating continuous transfers
of funds from the interior through
the. use of the Gold Settlement
Fund. After disbursement tlie
greater paidyof these funds found
their way back to the various sec-
tions of the country, again largely
through the credit machinery of
the Federal Reserve System, with-
out- actual shipment of currency.
Of the total increase for the year
of 1,250 millions in earnings as-
sets, 1,117 milions are represented
by the increase in the holdings of
war paper. Amounts of other dis-
counts on hand at the close of 1918
(commercial paper proper) after
the usual seasonal fluctuations vary
but little from corresponding totals
shown for the year 1917.
The total holdings of acceptances
on hand reported at the close of the
year, 304 millions, are ’ about 28
millions in excess of the total shown
on December 28, 1917. During
1918 the banks’ holding of United
States bonds show a reduction of
about 20 millions, partly through
the redemption by the government
of 3 per cent bonds due during the
.year, also through the disposal of
[ Liberty Bonds held temporarily for
[the accommodation of member and
I non-member hanks.
[ Gross deposits of the Reserve
[banks show an increase from 1,771
! to 2,312.5 millions, the largest in-
crease under this general head be-
ing shown for members’ reserve
deposits and foreign government
credits.

Young people! Will you take

War has greatly widened the hori-
zon of American Commerce. One
of the benefits growing out of the
war is the world wide view point
of American business men and wo-
men. They are engaged and must
continue on a larger scale in the
production and distribution of
commodities for the world. Our
fast growing merchant marine is
an important factor in the trade
development with the foreign eoun
tries. Markets are being opened
that have never, heretofore, been
visited by American Commerce.
The volume of American business
must increase. The countries des
troyed by the four years of war
must be reclaimed and rebuilt.
Factories, homes and cities must he
restored. American mills and
factories are being called upon to
do this work. There is work for
everybody that is trained in busi-
-ness. There will be a small place
for thd fellow with just hands and
feet to offer. “Brains” are at a
premium. Are you going to wait
and loaf on the job, while others
prepare for the desirable places
that will mean future successes?

ple are now with us, preparing for
this service. Others are entering
every day.

Nature’s Music
Sighing through the trees, whispering among the
nodding flowers, swaying the golden fields ©f wh^^
the gentle wood-wind zephyr trips across the wSBr
of summer. Caressingly it wafts the multitude
nous seeds to new and fertile soils; it is at once the
shepherd and the master of all the countryside.
Your own senses may feel the breath of the
wood wind, whether you live in country or in
city, amid Northern, snows or under tropic palms,
if you have in your home
IheWM EMSCM
“The Phonograph with a Soul”
Music has its counterpart to the wind of the woods, the
wood-wind choir of the great modern orchestra, the flute,
the clarinet, the oboe and their companions.
The dainty, charming tones of these reed instruments,
the delicacy of music they make, has no counterpart save
the wild wood wind of nature itself.
With the New Edison you may hear these RE-CREA-
TIONS of the wood-wind choir, in your own home,
whenever you desire. And to you they will bring dreams -
of a bounteous nature, in her fairest, most tranquil
mood of summer.
Hear Nature’s Music as Nature intended
it to be, at our store any time you choose

General Foch has deserved well
of the world. If he has a fancy for

ought to have it.
