LOOKS TO GEORGIA
FOR BEEF SUPPLY
From the New York Sun:
H. C. Prichard of Savannah Ga., who
is stopping at the Waldorf-Astoria, said
that thanks to “pig clubs” and “corn
clubs” the once popular razor back
hog, which weighed from 75 to 100
pounds, has gone the way of all pigs
and his place in the Georgia scheme
of things has been taken by thorough
bred hogs tipping the scales at from
350 to 500 pounds, reads an item in the
New York Sun.
Mr. Prichard declared that farmers
of Georgia and neighboring states, who
have gone in for diversified crops and
for live stock, are the fellows who
have the money to-day. It is the “one
crop man.’' he said, who is always the
borrower at the bank.
The Georgia man predict' that the
Southeast will be able before long t?
supply New Yorkers not only with
hogs, but beef at much below the pres
ent prices. Georgia land owners, he
said, are beginning to realize the possi
bilities in this field. There is an open
season for grazing twelve months in
the year in Georgia, he said, while the
Western rancher has to feed his herds
at least six months out of the twelve.
The Georgia hog raiser found that
sweet potatoes, velvet beans, peanuts
and cotton seed make ideal fattening
foods, he said, and in the coastal sec
tions of Georgia crop failures are un
known. Georgia, Mr. Prichard said,
ranks second of the hog producing
states.
Mr. Prichard said former Judge Al
ton B. Paiker, Coleman du Pont and
the late Mrs. Potter-Palmer were pion
eers in introducing pure bred stock in
his section of the country.

Fireless Cookers That Are Safe.
Recently the national board of fire
underwriters Issued a caution against
using wooden pails or tubs to make
home-made tireless cookers. To elim
inate the danger of fires from these
valuable fuel savers, the department
of agriculture advocates using ground
up asbestos in place of hay, paper or
wool for packing In them. Additional
safety may be attained by making the
cooker from a tin can.
Notes Instead of Calls.
The note of sympathy for sick per
sons has taken the place of the call.
It Is proper and kind to send a note
expressing regret for a friend’s illness
and suggesting one would like to call
when the Invalid is convalescent. All
messages written or sent to the sick
should be brief and cheerful. —Biddy

THE NEWS & FARMER, THURSDAY, MAY 1,1919
VICTORY CAMPAIGN
STARTS WITH BOOM;
NEW LOAN POPULAR
Atlanta, Ga.—The Victory Loan
campaign has got off to a flying start,
to judge from the telegrams pouring in
upon the district headquarters within
the first few days of the big drive. That
the Sixth Federal Reserve District
will go over the top with a bang is
indicated by the early results, though
it will require the co-operation of every
citizen to make success assured.
The announcement of the terms of
the Victory Loan did a great deal to
inspire subscriptions from those win.
invested from a business standpoint as
well as from patriotic motives. The
notes pay 4 3/4%, the highest interest
oi' any of the Liberty Loan series, and
are payable by the government in four
years after date. This high interest
and the short term makes them cer
tain to remain at a high figure, finan
ciers say, and there will be no dan
ger of their dropping to a discount.
Secretary Carter Glass has announc
ed positively that this will be the last
of the Liberty loans. It will pay the
bill for defeating the Hun and bring
tile boys back home.
The campaign all over the district
was opened with parades and great
celebrations. In Atlanta the central
part of the city was more elaborately
decorated than ever before in history.
In several of the larger cities the “fly
ing circus" of airplanes fought mimic
battles in the air high above the
streets. Secretary Glass is to deliver
an address in Atlanta on May 1.
Chairmen all over the Southern
states are reporting that the Victory
loan is easier to put over than they
had expected.
“Our people have not lost their pa
triotism," they report. “There was
an apparent apathy. We had begun
to believe the public thought the war
was all over and there was no use in
subscribing to mere bonds. But we
were wrong. The American—city man,
town man, farmer,—is willing to pay
his share of the war bill, and he is
proving it."
That is the patriotic side of the mat
ter. On the businsss side, the short
term bonds or notes appear to strike
the public eye favorably. The average
man is more willing to tie up his
money for four years than for a long
er period, and the fact that the gov
ernment promises to pay in four years
makes the securities more easily ne
gotiable at full price than if a period
of twenty years were involved.
The quota for the district is $144,-
000,000. Several counties reported
arly on the first day that their quotas
had been reached, and asked for Vic
tory Loan honor flags, which are to
be awarded to every community over
subscribing its share. The fair and
square individual quota system adopt
ed by many counties helped to carry
them over the top on “Volunteer
Days,” the first two days of the cam
paign. In the Third Loan campaign
every county in the district went over
and an effort is being made to repeat
this performance this time.

HOLDS HEROIC VIGIL
Signals Bring Succor to Helpless Craft
on Lake Michigan After All but
Daring Young Woman Are
Exhausted.
Chicago.—Lashing herself to the
mast of a disabled boat In the gale
that swept Lake Michigan, Miss Mar
garet Sturdy, daughter of Mr. and
Mrs. Joseph F. Sturdy of 115 East
Chicago avenue, maintained an heroic
vigil until dawn. Then the American
flag she was waving as a signal of
distress brought succor. The bout
was several times on the verge of
foundering.
This was the story brought to Chi
cago after Copt. A. F. Brown und his
crew of the South Chicago coast guard
station had responded to Miss Stur
dy’s signals and rescued both boat
and passengers. The boat, which was
eight miles out In the lake, was towed
In. Aboard It, besides Miss Margaret,
were her parents and a crew of two
men.
From Portland, Me.
They had brought the boat, a tki-foot
sailing yacht with an auxiliary gaso
line engine, from Portland, Me., where
Mr. Sturdy purchased It for Mrs.
Sturdy 6ome weeks ago. It Is named
the Mikado.
The voyage had been uneventful
save for a few minor squalls until
they encountered the storm. Even
then they would have made Chicago
safely had not the gasoline engine be
come disabled. The sails were use
less In the high wind.
They drifted all night, Miss Sturdy
told a reporter, while the crew tried
In vain to repair the engine. Toward
midnight the violent pitching of the
boat caused Mrs. Sturdy to become
111. She failed to respond to emer
gency treatment and her condition
was such that the services of a physi
cian were urgehtly needed.

ed Mr. Sturdy and his two-man crew,
and they succumbed to sleep about
three o’clock in the morning. The
duty of guarding the little vessel
thereupon devolved upon the daugh
ter.
The storm showed no signs of
abatement. Big combers were break
ing over the deck and the Mikado
was tossing about like u cork when
Miss Sturdy took the vessel’s Ameri
can flag and fought her wuy to the
mast, just abaft the bow. Using a
coil of hempen rope, she bound her
self to it and remained there until
about five o'clock, when Captain
Brown’s lookout sighted her distress
signals.
