40 Pound Hogs.

With corn above so cents hogs eat
their heads off very quickly. The hog
that takes two or three months to get
on full feed never brings you a profit.
When you are ready to put your
shoats on feed, begin with the B. A.
Thomas Hog Medicine. Use regularly
and watch your shoats round out into
fat hogs in nine months-hogs going
well over 200 pounds and as high as
240 pounds. Figure the average feed
ing and you will see why the B. A.
Thomas medicine is good investment.
Try feeding out your hogs on this plan
and if you are not more than pleased,
we will refund the cost of the medicine.

HIDING BEHIND DEAD MEN.

This paper fails Ia perceive how the
reported loss Of the subma rine which
sank the Arabic has "simplified" the
issues between this government and
Germany over t'hat crime. That is not
unless It is "a SIM pier matter TO hide
behind dead men thac it is to stand
out sn the open before living ones =
Germany either should or should
not have sunk the Arabic. II she
should have done so. then the death
OF the submarine commander who did
what Germany wanted done cannot
change the issues In the case. There
IL no more reason why she should dis
avow TIE act now than before the man
died.

A very interesting report on the
condition of the submarine arm of the
navy is printed in the current numoer
of navy magazine. This report by
an officer charged with examining into
the causes of submarine inefficieney
states that one great source of trouble
is that the officers of the boats are
usually Junior officers without large
experience, and therefore not able to
handle their boats as older officers are
able TO do. the result being that good
boats often fall into early disuse
through inexpert handling. If this
diagnosis is correct--and the report
indicates i'nat the practice has existed
for a considerable time and is by no
means a characteristic of the present
administration--som steps should be
taken to remedy the trouble.
