Uncle Sam Encouraging
Boys to Form Pig Clubs.
To Encourage Increase ofPoIk
Supply and Good Hog Breeding.
Boys Corn Clubs and Girls Can.
ming Clubs Also Promoted.

Washington, d. c.. Oct. 25.-(Spe-
cial.)-The Department of Agriculture
has it's Boys Corn Club and it's Girls
Canning Club and now comes the
Boys Pig Club, being organized in
the South for the purpose of increas-
ing the supply of pork and encourag-
ing good breeding of hogs. Already
clubs have been organized in Alabama
and Louisiana, and a club organiza-
ton has been started in Georgia. 1t
Is the purpose of the officials of the
department to organize clubs in every
southern state.
The idea of the organization started
with the Farmers Cooperative Dem
onstration branch of the Department
and has been carried on with the CO.
operation of the Animal Husbandry
Division of the Bereau of Animal In
dustry. The organization is an OFF,
shoot of the Boys Corn Club which
has an organization in every southern
state and which has been the means
of producing record breaking yields of
corn. The Pig Club, when thoroughly
organized, will, ii is expected, work
hand in hard with the Corn Club. The
boys of the latter will produce the
corn and the boys of the newly or
ganized association will see to 1t that
the pigs are produced to eat the corn.
In connection with the organization
of the Pig Club the department makes
the following statement:
I'm organizing the Boys Pig Club it Is
the purpose of the Depart ment to estap-
ljsh clubs In every Southern state. The
Animal Husbandry Division is co-operat-
ing with the Farmers COOPERATIVE
Demonstration Office in the Bureau OF
Plant Industry and has already estab-
lished clubs in Alabama and Louisiana,
and the movement is under way in Geor-
gia The organizing is being done by the
officials of the Farmers Cooperative
Demonstration force, and the Animal
Husbandry agents are instructing ana
demonstrating how to handle the. stock
and to breed a superior type OF pigs.
ut is the purpose OF the DeparImeht TO
have every member of the Club en-
courage not only an increased produc-
ton of the swine family, but a better
breed of pigs than is being raised at
present. 1t is q serious purpose the
officiais of the 9epartment are engaged
in-.one that is aimed at the high cost OF
living.
.'The production of pork is not keep
ing space With the increased population
ize these two elements. If each member
of the club-and they will be growing
ii is expected all the time-wiil see to 1t
that one more pig and a better pig Is
produced each year, then long step
will have been taken in meeting the
ever growing chasm between pork pro-
duction and increased population.

WOMEN KICK ON BARRING OF

MRS. PANKHURST
The Human Rights Party of Cook
County at their regular meeting yes
terday passed the following resolu-
ton against the proposal to bar Mrs.
Emmeline Pankhurst from landing in
this country:
Whereas, 1t is currently reported
that the immigration officials of the
United States are proposing to detain
Emmeline Pankhurst at the port of
entry and perhaps refuse permission
to her to land in the United States;
and
Whereas, Emmeline Pankhurst,
with others, has been forced by the
government of England to- wage
justifiable and necessary war in the
endeavor to free her sex from politi-
cal slavery against those who have
presumed to usurp the law-making,
law-interpreting and law-executive
power of England; and
Whereas, She has been prompted
by the highest motives, and for
greater cause has been following in
the footsteps of the revolutionists of
this country of 1776; and
Whereas, Emmeline Pankhurst
has dedicated her life to the cause
of freedom for women; and because
of the persistent and stubborn in
justice of the British government to
women she is now a martyr to said
cause; and
Whereas, Our country boasts that
it is the haven for all oppressed; and
Whereas, Male, political offenders
from Ireland and other countries
have always been welcomed with
open arms by our people; now, there
fore be it -
