MAY BE SENT TO MEXICO

Washington, June 2O.-The admins
tration arranged with congressional
leaders specifically to authorize the
use Of the organized militia as an OF.
fensive force on Mexican soil.
Secretary of War Baker commun'-
Gated to Representative Hay, chairman
Of the house military affairs commit.
tee, and Senator Chamberlin, head cf
the senate committee, the desire for
action that would make clear the au
thority Of the war department to send
the militia men outside the bor1ers Of
the United States and into Mexico.
Congressional leaders, while ex.
pressing the opinion that the president
already has authority to send the state
troops into Mexico as a defensive
measure, assured Secretary Baker
that authorization would be promptly
forthcoming. BY the time the militia
had modified on the border, all legal
action necessary to make them avail
able for federal service anywhere in
Mexico will have been taken.

damp a dangerous condition exists, and
It will pay in such cases to use plank
In many instances the old fashioned
plank floor is a fertile cause of this all
ment, as wind frequently gets beneath
it and comes up between the cracks.
Under such sleeping conditions hogs
make a tremendous effort to keep
warm, and this can be accomplished
only by piling up deeply and therefore
by getting too hot. By all means board
up or bank up the space surrounding
the floor so that the wind cannot get
under and create dangerous drafts.
DR.. Lipp points out that one can go
too far in making hog quarters warm
1t will never do to nail up all windows
and to clese all openings. because good
air is an absolute essential if hogs are
to remain thrifty. The important thing
is to supply ventilation without allow
ing a direct draft on the pigs when
they are in their sleeping quarters.
Openings on both sides of the pen
make very drafty sleeping quarters un-
less the openings are several feet high
er than the hogs. In a well built hog
house it is generally entirely practica- |
bic where many hogs are penned up to |
keep the windows on one side Of the |
building open. If there are no open |
ings on the opposite side there can be |
no draft. and it is the draft, above all /
things, that is dangerous to the hog.

sELBYvILLE.

Our citizens who read the daily and
weekly newspapers, and in fact most
any papers published in this country,
see long columns filled with accounts
Of the awful war that is being waged
in Europe at this present time. These
accounts have been so long and so
numerous that we have often read
them as so much news and have felt
no thrill at the unusuallness of these
horrOs that we would have declared
as impossible a few years ago. Of
course we are thrilled through once in
a while as we read articles dealing
with personal experiences, and we lay
our papers down with much the same
feeling that we would have after read
ing a very disagreeable chapter in
some book of fiction and try to for
get it as soon as possible. But when
news came that our own militia had
been called out and that those near
and dear to us were to go, then did
we recall those accounts and have
for those who had sacrific-
ed so much more for home and coun-
try than we dreamed of having to do.
We then raelized that the horrors of
which we had learned to read of ap-
parently so unmOved, were no mystic
fairy drama too poorly written and
staged to ever interest our great Am
erican public. But it is like some of
our human diseases, infection is so
easy, and America is about to rewrite
his drama. But let us not be too
