EIGHT “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, haa been eager for some time to be relieved of the responsibilities of con ducting the business end of the club. 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.

Louisville, Ky.—Officials of n rail road construction company and opera tor* of stone quarries employing seve ral hundred negroes near Princeton, Ky., today appealed to the county au thorities for protection against threat, enod operations of night riders No tlcea have been posted, telegrams from Princeton say, demanding the dis charge of al! negruoa In tho employ of the companies and threatening ven geannee unless the demands are com piled with. 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.
