Germany never relaxes her inten
sivc effort to keep the war fires burn
ing. Note the following:
"In the final examinations of the
Military and Naval Schools of Ger
nany, one of the test questions is:
‘Give your ideas as to the best-meth
ods of invading the United States by
sea and by land.’ The answer must
bee good one, if tbe pass mark is
made."
And thus the seeds of murder and
destruction continue to be sown and
cultivated.
folk said be was reckless with his
hard-earned money. He replied shge-
|y, "Nothing risked nothing made. The
best I can afford is none to good for
tae.”
One afternoon recently the cherish
ed sow brought forth and saved a lit
ter of nine strong pigs. At bedtime
/the wind changed to the northwest. A
few hours after midnight the young
fctockman’a father slipped out to the
(open shed where then ow was shelter
ed to see that her litter should not be
come chilled. A lantern glimmered
at the shed and there was the young
'lad proudly finishing the job of hoard
ing up the open side of thes hed and
tacking a gunnysack over the doorway
he had left.
Would a tired boy gladly roll out
bf his warm bed on a cold midnight to
fusd around his father’s old sow.
Scarcely would the sternest of orders
budge him. But his very own sow
which he had watched and admired a
(hundred times In thirty days, whose
(pigs he had counted over and oyer in
fi single evening, and had fattened
and sold over aad over again in the
'dreams of half a night, her welfare
was the most compelling consideration
THE
WAR AND AMERICAN
WOMEN
Some of the women who have un
dertaken certain classes of work done
by men before the war, ore growing
tired of their jobs already. These in
muny instances were attracted to the
work because of its novelty and now
that this has passed they are no long-
interested. All of which goes to
how that this is not a time for wom
en who are employed in the home or
ed in commercial pursuits to
the increased demand for
labor to influence them, to leave
work that is essential and .for which
they are better qualified, to take up
some form of war work for which
they are entirely unfitted.
This is no time for hfsterlcal action.
Happily the women who are doing
this sort of thing are few in number
compared to the vast number who are
sitting steadily at tho wheel they were
steering when the war commenced
and at tho same time doing a tremen
dous amount of helpful war work in
addition.
It will be absolutely necessary in
. many cases for women to fill posi
tions formerly occupied by men and
it Is. well that many of our women are
capable and have had sufficient exper
ience and training to enable them to
fill these positions creditably, howev
er, the wiser ones will not rush into
-what has hitherto been man’s province
in tho world of labor, without first
taking into serious consideration tho
significance of such a step.
Women on tho whole are doing
magnificent part in carrying out the
war program. Thoao who are meet
ing the crisis sanely and with courage
far outnumber tho contrary type.
THE BOY SWINE BREEDER
The following was taken from thtf
editorial page of a recent issue of the
Breeders' Gazette:
“By dint of saving the small
amounts received from time to time
for especially faithful performance of
work at home on the farm a fifteen,
year-old boy had a bank account last
fall of $82. lie ottended a sale of
. pedigree bred sows in February and
came home the proud possessor of an
$60 sow, carrying her own guaran
tee of producing capacity. The home
life. It was a joy to do anything
for her comfort.
The man who evolved boys’ pig clubs
applied a practical psychology'which is
making many a stockman. Many a
father understands its power and
'clinches his son’s devotion to the farm
through the youthful ownership of
live stock. Hard work for father may
bo drudgery; it is joyous to care for
one’s own thriving, growing interest
ing pigs. The more boy swine breed
ers we have today the more successful
ktockman we shall have tomorrow,
hnd the more bacon we shall have
next year.”
Last year the farm crops Of Kan
s were $142,000,000. less than
Georgia and those of Wisconsin
$176,000,000 less. In fact New York
Pennsylvania, Indiana, Michigan and
California all great agricultural states
foil short of Georgia. As an agricul
tural state Georgia ranks high, but
tiot as a livestock state. If three
million hogs can bo had by the new
Year it will help a lot. The ten thous
and members of the pig club will do
their part. Some more can get in—
jboys from 10 to 18—if they will hur-

A COMMON ERROR
The Same Mistake Is Made By Many
Vienna People.
It’s a common error
To plaster the aching back,
To rub with liniments, rheumatic
joints,
. If the trouble comes from the kid
neys.
It’s time to use Doan’s Kidney Pills
Here is convincing proof of merit.
Mrs. H. R. Peavey, 211 S. Lee St..
Fitzgerald, Ga., says: “I was in bad
shape with my back and kidneys and
almost had to go to bed. My back
was in terrible shape. I was bothered
by dizzy spells and black spots before
my eyes. Sometimes sharp pains
darted throughout my back. I had
tried all sorts of remedies and medi
cines, but nothing did me good until
used Doan’s Widney Pills. One box
cured me.”
Price 60c at all dealers. Don’t
sumply ask for a kidney remedy—
get Doan’s Kidney Pills—the samo
that Mrs. "Peavey had. Foster-Mil-
