“A Pig For Every Child” Will Help
Solve Many Farm Life Problems
Slogan Out in Missouri Would be Doubly Effective if Ap
plied in Georgia and South Carolina Give the Farm Boys
and Girls a Chance A Pig Club in Every Country Home
Will Work Wonders.
Somebody lias been calculating In
pigs and arrived at the Interesting
conclusion that a pig, given to a ccun
trv bov or girl when the child 1h as
young as the pig, will if given a rhanc*,
with good luck, pay for a college edu
cation for the child when he or she
reaches the age when the matter of
education is of first consideration.
Whether or not that much can be
done, tbe pig Is a wonderful institu
tion.
Every farmer's bov and every farm
er's girl should have a pig for their
own.
An amusing slory was once writ
ten iiv Ellis Parker Butler. It la en
titled "Pigs is Pigs." and though it
Is true that the author wrote about
guinea pigs and that swine will not
Increase in the same ratio as guinea
pigs, a pig will do wonders In that
line In the course of a period of years.
"A pig for every child" Is the slogan
out In Missouri. Secretary Mays of
the Missouri state hoard of «grind
ture declares that "a pig for ever>
child" will solve more of the farm life
problems than the man looking through
purely scientific glasses may realize.
There is good, hard, common sense
In this argument.
If every country boy and gtrl in
Georgia and South (’aroltna were
given a pig now It would not be a
long while before Georgia nml South
Carolina would he producing enough
hog meat to keep at home several mil
lions of dollars that are now went out
West each >ear.
The farm hoy Is given a pig. say.
In the first place he Is filled wllh the
sense of pride of ownership. He be
comes himself more important, a mom
Important part of the farm. Posses
sion of the pig gives him his first
step toward ultimately becoming self
supporting. in a year or in two years
he has. instead of a pig, a pen of pigs
—all his own. There is no better
source of revenue than a herd of hogs.
Bovs' Corn clubs are all right. The
bo\s have taught their fathers many
valuable lessons. But the eorn clubs
cannot beat the pig rlubs.
Perhaps the soundest advice thnt
Booker T. Washington has ever given
the country negro Is that every negro
country boy Join a pig club get a
pig. The white bo) s and girls In the
country should not let the negroes get
ahead of them In this Important mat
ter. for It Is Important.
Christmas Is coming. Every country
boy and girl should insist upon hav
ing a pig for a Christmas present.
There cannot be too many pigs In this
country. Pigs will solve problems.
Therefore they make the beat kind of
Christmas presenta.
Come to think of It, there Is no ren
snn In the world why a pig will not
furnish tho beginning of a source of
revenue thnt will, if the revenue Is
put away In a savings bank to draw
COLLINS TO MANAGE THE
“WHITE SOX,” IS REPORT
Chicago.—Heport* were published
hero today from an "authentic source"
that Eddie Collins, purchased from the
Philadelphia Americans, would suc
ceed Jutnes J. Callahan as manager
of the club,
Callahan, according to reports, Is to
tie made vice-president of the club.
President Comlskey, it in under-stood,

LEO FRANK’S ATTORNEYS
HARD AT WORK ON CASE
Atlanta, Ga.—Leo Frank's attorneys
will not admit that their client's . at
hope lies with the governor, and In
deed one of them said today that there
still remained a chance to go before
the United States Supreme Court on
another ground that Frank had not
been given a fair trial because of the
sentiment of the crowd. They believe
they can take tills direct to the high
tribunal without the stale supremo
court's ruling affecting it, and they
base considerable hope on ibis point,
because of the remark of Justice
Holmes, of the federal supreme court,
that he did not believe Frank had
been given a fair trial.
Considerable interest was aroused
today by tlv announcement of Col
lier's Weekly that it will run a serins
of articles on ihe Frank ease, to be
prepared by a noted writer, it Is ex
pected that they will be a defense of
the convicted man.

NIGHT RIDERS.

ral hundred negroes near Princeton,
Ky., today appealed to the county au
thorities for protection against threat,

interest, send a boy through an agri
cultural college or fit him for life’s
battles in another line of endeavor.
It is a broad statement, perhaps, but
a pig will make a doctor or a lawyer
or an engineer of a boy, provided, of
course, that both the pig and the boy
are given sufficient start and the
proper chance to make good. At
least the pig will furnish the money.
If you don't believe It take, a pencil
and paper und figure It out for your
self.
A pig club will moke many things
possible for the boys and girls on the
farm. The pig will feed them, buy
clothes for tlrt in, make thorn independ
ent. as it were.
Here Is what the secretary of tlie
Missouri state board of agriculture
says about It:
"The boy and girl with money In the
bank and a pen of pigs at home are
not so anxious to ride In street cars
and limousines and dawdle away their
Jives on hard streets that learl to No
Account avenue. The boy who sticks
to the hog game is headed down ProN
parity avenue faster than the speed
limit In the frog's eye."
Get a pig. There never was a morn
opportune time to begin the hog
game. This country needs more pigs.
