The great steamship Lusitania with
nearly a thousand passengers on
board, battled with a huge tidal wave
on it's last trip across to New York
which would have sent the smaller
vessels of Trailer build used gen
Grafton ago to the bottom. Providen
TALLY both passengers and crew were
below decks and no one was drowned
but the wave broke over the ship with
such terrific force that it was badly
shattered, but brought it's passengers
into port safely. The great inventions
of recent years make ocean travel
far safer than that on land

We smile at the simplicity of the
lady who volunteered to furnish the

BILE because her husband is a grocer
and the articles cost her nothing. But
before We smile too broadly let us
remember that the United States gov
eminent which is supposed to be run
by business men, is doing exactly that
sort of foolish thing in the operation
of the postotiice department. Because
they are all government institutions
the postotfice department carries all
the correspondence and much of the
freight of all the other departments
free of charge, and still wonder why
the business does not pay.

People who are proud of their pedi.
gree often boast of being able to count
back eight or ten generations, but few
people realize that were one to count
back ten generations, in every branch
he would have l.024 ancestors. The
number of grandparents doubles with
every generation-two grandparents
for every parent, so If there are two
parents, there will be four grandpar
ents, eight great.grandparents, and sc
on, which multiplies ancestors in few
hundred years to dizzy height.

breeds are especially adapted to the

The principal bacon breeds are Tam

The bacon hogs are better suited to
those localities where corn is not grown
TO any extent. Skimmilk, peas and
pasture are among the principal crops
used in raising bacon hogs.
Whichever type is selected, an en-
deavor should be made to get the best
possible individuals OF that type. Not
only that. but If you wish to succeed
in the hog business you must pick out
certain breed and stick TO it, The

That Roosevelt would be doing eX

allowing the house to take care of its

that that is just exactly what Roose
welt did do during his seven years in
