'"There is hope that within the next six months every school child will be planning and cultivating a plot of ground either on their own premises or vacant lot. As the plans will require deligent care there will be no more idle hours which means idle minds and, "The idle brain is the devils workshop.
 With the consent of the realty dealers and property holders the vacant lots now covered with weeds and unsightly growth, the breeding place for mosquitoes, and other in- fectiols, will be converted into flower gardens or producing useful vegetables.
 Should the splendid plan materal- ize, we will indeed become a City Beautiful.

"repulse" of the German forces be- fore the Belgian city of Liege, where Belgian sources declare their attack CTS to have been badly checked with heavy losses
 Movement of the great aggregation of troops which must by this time have gathered at their spring-ofl points on the German frontiers fac ing both the French and Russian armies are kept from public know= ledge. Military authorities here however, are of the opinion that pre- parations must be almost complete for forward move which will give some indication of the plan of cam paign to be followed
 French army authorities have also raised a heavy screen to hide the de- velopments in their war moves. They sem entirely satisfied with the man. ner in which the men of tine nation respond to the call to arms. and they declare every preliminary move to have been carried out according to the plans drafted by commander in chief, General Joseph Joffre.
 From the far off portions of the world where Germany, England and France have colonies, all of which are in a state of defense. only brief dispatches trickle over their wires. These indicate that small engage ments have occurred, especially in Chinese waters, where French, Ger man, British and Russian Warships are stationed.
 The most important reports from that quarter is that the British squad ron has hemmed the German vessels at Tsing Tau, which is strongly forti- fled, and has numerous garrisOns of Germans troops.

A PIG FOR EVERY CHILD

"A Pig for Every, Child" will solve
more of the farm life problems than
the man looking through purely scien-
tific glasses may realize. Secretary
Mayes of the State Board of Agricul-
ture is guilty of coming that homely
phrase. He says, "Give every child
pig and let that pig belong to that
child in fact, not play pig" The
practical Pig Club in every farm home
will buy more ponies and books and
new clothes and benzine buggies and
send more boys to agricultural col
leges than all other clubs combined.
The lad and lassie with money in the
bank and patch Of pigs at home
is not so anxious TO run street cars
and limousines and dandle away their
lives adown hard streets that lead to
Nocount Avenue. The boy who sticks
to the hog game is headed down Pros
perity Avenue faster than the speed
limit in Pennington.
