The Baltimore American says: 1.-THE
worlds population certainly has not
increased threefold since 1880, though
the people of the world seem to be
needing about three times as much
cotton to clothe them for 1914 as for
1881. Doubtless the wearing of clothes
in tropical climes is getting to be
more of fad The South Africans
and the Central Asiatics are yielding
to the influence of occidental ideals "a
the matter of clothes and so the de-
mand for cottons goes up by jumps. 1t
is a fact to be noted that the increased
demand is being met by the United
States and not by India, Egypt or

A SHORT LIST OF HUMAN BORES

In the November Woman's Home
Companion appears an article entitled
Little Courtesies of Social Life" in
the course of which the author men
tons, as follows, a few people who
make nuisances of themselves:
"Other discourtesies you meet in
private as well as in public. Do we not
all know the man or woman who takes
up book or paper and reads while
others in the circle are talking? Do
we not meet every day the person who
discuss together people and places and
things they know and we DOM? Does
any one of us escape the trial of the
Iinterrupter who breaks in upon our
best story with an irrelevant remark,
or who snaps our most telling argu-
ment in two to interject some comment,
.
lie story-teller who can hardly wait for
the conclusion of our anecdote because
of his eagerness to cap it with one he
believes better? We have all met just
such people who have done these very
things, thoughtlessly, no doubt, but not
the less unpleasant for that reason.
These and many others are always
with us, and all are guilty Of discour-
tesy and genuine bad breeding. The
only way to eliminate them and their
breaches of manners is by individual eff
fort with our families, our friends
and ourselves"

TO THE YOUNG IN HEART

DR.. Bosil Gildarsleeve, of Johns
Hopkins University, will celebrate
his eighty second birthday anniversary
today. Don't say anything about it,
except that / am still alive and busy
as ever" he said to the reporters.
Come and see me when | am 100 and
I'll talk to you about retiring-maybe.
My work is laid out for at least 50
years ahead"
Here's to you, Basil Gildersleevei
You are one of that happy band Of
men who love their work, and, there
fore, you have found the spring of per-
petual youth. Your work happens to
be the digging of Greek roots and the
tagging of outlandish words which are
tossed upon your strand by time and
tide. Dry work, tedious work? Not a
bit of it! There is greater joy to you
in tracing the shady past of an outcast
word than in the recovery of treas
ure. You cannot forbear to pursue the
elusive hint, the casual allusion, until
you have safely in your grasp the
shining fact, literally snatched from
the dust of death, And how it spark IS
when you find it! What diamond Is
truth, and how much more precious Il
is than gold!
Is it any wonder that such a man is
young in heart, although his temples
may bear white blossoms? You arc
too busy with your loved work, toe
happy at your task. too greedy of rich
hauls from the ocean of truth to think
of the mere pilling up of years. What
is a century or two? You have time
now and eternity to follow.
Here's to you Bosil Gildersleve!

HARM ROADS LESS
THAN is IMAGINED

In the current issue of Farm AMI
Fireside appears some interesting
facts showing how and why roads
wear out These facts were collected
by the Massachusetts, Highway Com
mission and following are some of
the conclusions:
Automobiles do much less harn
than is commonly supposed. Gravel
and macadam roads are ruined most
quickly by wagons which are loaded too
heavily in proportion to the width OF
the wagon tires. Near a certain ice.
house in Massachusetts an average OF
about sixty ice-wagons a day carrying
three tons of ice. on tires averaging
from one and one-half to three inches
wide broke up in a month the side oi
a macadam road on which the loaded
teams travelled, while the surface on
the other side where the teams came
back empty was in good condition.
THE commission believes that laN
which would fix some maximum
weight per inch-width of tire in con-
tact with the roadbed would greatly
lengthen the life of country roads. In
other words, you can overload road
just the same as you can overload
wagon or horse"

HIGHER MEAT PRICES
TO PREVAIL THIS WINTER

Farm and Fireside contains in its
current issue a page devoted to the
market outlook, on which John P
Ross, a we'll known expert in such ma
ters, writes in part as follows:
THE United States bureau of animal
industry has already issued words OF
warning as to the threatened exhaus-
ton of our own meat supply, and has
drawn attention to the fact that the
fiocks and herds of the countries which
we might have expected to be able to
help US out, and especially those of
Argentina, are SO generally infected
with contagious diseases that our in
spection rules, both with respect to live
animals and dressed meats, will have
to be rigidly enforced. Under these cir
cumstances those among us who have
been able to retain live stock and have
feedstuffs sufficient to fatten them for
fall and winter markets, ere likeiv
to profit by what must prove disastrous
to so many who have been compelled to
realize at a loss. All this seems to
point with certainty to higher prices
for all animal products

That God has given me to prize;

The tender beauty of the dawn,
i failed to breathe the sun-drenche1
flower,
Before the sweet, wet dew was gone,
j failed to turn my cheek to catch
The cooling breeze I needed SO;

How wondrously the new leave grow.
For all the day was full of cares,
/ only looked me down to see
The broars that beset the way
To hold and fret and hinder me,
But now tonight, o Lord, lie
And see with weary, world-tired eyes
The tranquil splendor of the night,
The wonder of Thy lighted skies,
And know some better thing is mine
Than this lost day-and will go
Nor more forgetful of Thy way
Nor walk no more with eyes cast low,
But looking-Iive and laugh and sing
Knowing Thou would have it so.

BOYS PIG CLUBS

The Department of Agriculture has
its Boys Corn Club and its Girls Can
ming Club and now comes the Boys
Pig Club, being organized in the
South for the purpose OF increasing
the supply of pork and encouraging
good breeding of hogs. Already clubs
have been organized in Alabama and
Louisiana, and club organization has
been started in Georgia. 1t is the pur-
pose of the officials of the Department
to organize clubs in every Southern
state
The idea of the organization started
with the Farmers Cooperative De-
monstration branch of the Department
and has been carried on with the CO.
operation of the Animal Husbandry
Division of the Bureau 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, it is expected, work
hand in hand with the Corn Club Tue
boys of the latter will produce the
corn and the boys of the newly organ
lied association will see to it that the
pigs are produced to eat the corn.
In connection with the organization
of the Pig Club the Department
makes the following statement:
"In organizing the Boys Pig Club
is is the purpose OF the Department to
establish clubs in every Southern
state The Animal Husbandry Divis
ion is cooperating with the, Farmers
Cooperative Demonstration Office in
the Bureau of Plant Industry and has
already established clubs in Alabama
and Louisiana, and the movement is
under way in Georgia. The oganizing
is being done by the officials of the
Farmers Cooperative Demonstration
force, and the Animal Husbandry ag-
ents are instructing and demonstrate
ing how to handle the stock and to
breed superior type of pigs.
1T is the purpose of the Department
to have every member of the Club en-
courage not only an increased produc-
ton of the swine family hut better
breed of pigs than is being raised at
present. 1t is a serious purpose the
officials of the Department ave engag-
ed in-one that is aimed at the high
cost of living.
1.-The production of pork is not
keeping pace with the increased pop
uIation and something must be dol e
to harmonic these two elements If
each member of the Club-and they
will be growing it is expected all the
time-will see to it that one more pig
and a better pig is produced each
year then a long step will have been
taken in meeting the ever growing
chasm between pork production and
increased population"
