GIRLS, BOYS. DuRocs. ETC.

4 ~ ASs DoAA0SkJg
Our boys and girls are the CHIEF
asset and product of the farm. Hogs
are our principal animal asset, or car
be made SO. The pig club article in
last weeks Star incidentally touching
on the girls canning clubs, has an es-
pecial appeal to all who are interested
in the social and economic welfare of
the community.
The same mail that brought us the
Star also brought the illustrated an
nouncement of the Armour meat pack
ing plant, now being installed in Jack
sonville, upon the construction of
which building an hundred men are
employed. This plant will be able to
handle 200 head of cattle, 200 sheep
and 500 head of hogs per day. In adj
dition to its furnishing sure and
profitable outlet for this product, it
will save the farmers the work of
butchering these animals, and doubt
less the stock will be bought and paid
for at our door, avoiding the risk of
loss from any cause after leaving.
Then the whole plant will be open
to visitors, affording a most effective
inspection of its methods regarding
cleanliness, etc. This announcement
is interesting reading for consumer
and producer.
But we started to write about the
items in the caption of this article.
The men named in the above men,
toned article, who are backing this
Marion county club, show their BUSH
ness sagacity and wisdom in boy
training in deciding to allow only one
breed of hogs to be used, and in lend
ing instead of giving the necessary
aid to the boys, it being an accepted
maxim that people appreciate what
they pay for"
But is there any one best breed of
hogs? Or one best adapted to the
South, and to Florida in particular
If there is, the character of the men
mentioned is sufficient guarantee that
they will not go wide of the mark in
finding it. For that matter, there are
several breeds that will succeed with |
proper management.
Generally speaking, the best breed
FOR any man is the one he fancies and
viii take best care of, just as wom-
ans favorite sewing machine is the
ene she has kept practically as good
as new through many years of careful
use.
However, as we all like to "speak
veil of the bridge that carries us we'll
over," we beg the privilege of a few
words in favor of the Duroc.
With no prospect of having any
more Durocs to sell this year, this
reed not be considered as an attempt
o get a little free advertising but
simply to say good word for a
friend.
Seven years of experience and OBJ
ervation have convinced us that no
'ther breed is better adapted to the
reeds of the Florida farmer. Had we
ime and space, the points we claim
or him could be abundantly substan-
lated by facts from our own exper-
ence and observation, while at the
anne time we have made a study of
everal other leading breeds.
First, the Duroc is hardy, undergo
ne unfavorable conditions of weather
nd insufficient and improper care
quail to any other thoroughbred.
Second, he is thrifty, changing as
arge proportion of his food to meat
nd bone as any other hog, and as
apidly- f
Third, no other exceIIs him as

Elsewhere we publish a letter from
Mr.. Chas. P. Haycraft on the subject
OF whether to bond or not to bond for
better roads. Mr.. Haycraft puts up
a good argument, but the Star does
not altogether agree with him. We
think it would be good policy to bond
for better roads, and believe that bet
ter roads would be worth more to the
farmers than to any other class.

ATTORNEY FOR BASEMENT TO
 AID PRESIDENT 1

i. New York, Oct 26.-Michael Francis Doyle, the Philadelphia lawyer, who defended Sir Roger Easement when he was tried for treason in London, is go- ing to take the stump in New York and New England for Wilson. MT. Doyle has already given some atten- tion VI to Pennsylvania, and yesterday at Democratic National Headquarters said:
 Wilson's strength in Pennsylvania is growing rapidly. This, together with the Republican factional troubles in the state, may lead to Wilson's car- rying Pennsylvania"
 Francis J. Heney, Bull Moose leader in California, was also visitor at Democratic Headquarters yesterday, and predicted that the President would carry California When I left that state,' he said, everything indicated a Wilson trt- umph there, and also victory for Hi- ram Johnson. President Wilson is stronger now in California than he wash a month or two ago. Any un- prejudiced Californian will tell you Hughes made one of his big blunders in our state when he vent into it at all It is no secret trAt Hiram John- son has not mentioned Hughes's name, and there will be mighty few Progress
 tive votes for him."

AN ACTRESS BY ACCIDENT.

If Miss Annie Russell hadn't be- come i'll while playing "Esmeralda" at the Madison Square Theatre in New York more years ago than it would be gallant to specify, the stage might have been deprived of the brilliant services of Miss Viola Allen, one of the most gifted of twentieth century actresses. Miss Allen made her mum dane debut in Huntsville, Ala, Al years ago, come tomorrow. Her father, c. Leslie Allen, was a charac- ter actor of considerable fame, and came of an old Boston family, while her mother was an Englishwoman of good descent. Little Viola was reared lin the staid atmosphere of Boston, and educated in the schools of that city and in Wykham Hall in Toronto. Her parents did not intend her for the stage, and her adoption of that profession was accidental
 When Miss Allen was IS, and a stu dent in New York boarding school for girls, Frances Hodgson Burnett's play, "Esmeralda," was enjoying a long run at the Madison Square Thea tre in New York. Miss Annie Russell scored her first big success in the title role of this play. and Miss Aliens father, although well known in Bos- ton and Washington, also achieved his first pronounced New York suc- cess as Old Rodgers in this produc- ton. The play was still drawing large audiences when Miss Russell became i'll and was forced to leave the cast.
 The management was in desperate straits. seeking an actress to take Miss RusselPs place, when William Seymour, the stage manager of the theatre, suggested that Miss Allen could be able to fill the role. The de- mure boarding school miss, totally without professional stage experience, was equal to the emergency, and, un- der the careful coaching of her father, scored an immediate hit. John Mccullough was so impressed with her work that he engaged her for such roles as Virginia, Desdemona and Rarthonia- Her next engagement

WEST DOES NOT
 WANT WARFARE, MARSHALL SAYS
Vice President Sees Very Distinct Movement To-
 ward Wilson by Women.

vice-President Thomas R. Mar shall, who spoke at the big Demo- cratic rally in Meriden. Monday night, in an interview given to news papermen of that city, said that he found in the Middle West very dis tinct movement of the women toward Wilson. "They do mot want war;" has yet occurred to warrant the he said, unless it is necessary, and the average woman does not believe now that anything in our relations United States in fighting. They can not understand MT. Hughes attitude in which he says everything that Will son has done is wrong as meaning any other thing than war. Of course MT. Hughes says that is very poor logic. We are at peace now by an exchange of diplomatic notes. He says that is all wrong but the ordi nary man concludes that he means force."
 "The Democrats of Wisconsin. Ne braska, Missouri, Kentucky, Indiana, and Ohio say they will carry those states'' said MT. Marshall. Of the situation in Connecticut, MT. Mar shall said he knew nothing. "Of .course," said he, "I have not seen anyone nere yet. however, through out the whole country I think the trend is distinctly toward the Demo- crats. It has been running that way for the last two weeks. MT. Hughes has offered nothing in lieu of Wilson legislation and policies save a job lot of glittering generalities to which everybody can subscribe regardless of their political affiliations.
 'The American people as I have watched them for 40 years do not put anybody out of office on mere criticism. They demand the plans, specifications, detailed drawings for the kind of building you are going to erect and if you have nothing to of- fer except that you propose to tear down what has already been erected and substitute nothing in its place they get tired of listening to you.''

PUBLIC OPINION

To the Editor of the Farmer:
 As one of the recipients of John T. Kings personal appeal to the electo- rate, would ask for little space in your paper.
 MT. King proves beyond any doubt his sincerity and Americanism in the two following statements:
 'An appeal to passion or prejudice either for or against the President is unworthy of American Citizenship" and
 ''The Democratic Party is controlled by committee appointments and all most numerically south of the Mason & Dixon line: and the South is abso- 1utely for free trade"
 Since President Wilson is the head of the Democratic Party how does MT. King reconcile the two statements?
 Another paragraph in his personal appeal: Every man in the City of Bridgeport knows that prior to August 1914, the industries of the entire Coun- try were paralyzed" also "As result of Free Trade, legislation during Cleveland's administration this Coun- try was in the throes of panic and de- pression.'
 MT. King qualities as an acrobat when he can back-somersault from 1914 to 1893, and not so much as touch 1907-'0S under the almost pro- hibitive Payne-Aldrich tariff bill
 Have the electors forgotten that pe- riod of Republican prosperity when not single large industry was work ing full time and when it was neces- sary to give sixty days notice of inten- tion to withdraw savings from a bank |? This occurred under the Payne-Aldrich Protective Bill, but MT. King can no doubt convince the voters that tariff legislation had absolutely no connec- tiorfYi it.
 Would the panic of 1907.OS have occurred had the Republican Party or ganized and. maintained a chain of Federal Reserve banks?
 MT. King has hard task to create an issue and he will be reminded on Nov. s. that the tariff question as an issue is of minor importance when compared with he fact that the voters are in the shops and factories instead of in the trenches.

English Officers Must
 Salute Superiors When
 They Meet in Highways

London, Oct. 26.-Under a new ar my order officers have begun to salute officers of higher rank in the streets of London. The more frequented parts of the city are constantly con- gested with men in khaki and saluting alfeady had become an exhausting buSiness when indulged in between of ficers and men. But now the new ukase has gone forth as follows:
 ''When not on duty or parade, but in uniform, officers under the rank of field officers will salute all officers of Ield rank upwards. Field officers and general officers will salute their su- perfors in rank"
 This means that all officers in uni form below the rank of major must salute senior majors and officers of higher rank. It always has been cus- tomary for officers to salute the fn- signia of the Victoria Cross.

DEMOCRATIC APPROPRIATIONS
 SMALL WHEN COMP AIRED TO BIG
 CONSTRUCTIVE STRIDES MADE
of Partisan Opponents Dproved by Tabulations Made By Senator Thomas S. Martin Chair of the Senate Committee on Appropriations. Progress Shown in Every Department

In order to meet misrepresenta- tions which are constantly being made, and to give to the country in convenient shape the appropriations made by Congress for the year end ing July 31, 1917, and a comparison of the same with like appropriations made for the year ended July 31, 1916. I have gone carefully over the matter and have prepared some tables which are as accurate as l have found it possible to make them.
 For each of the two years I have taken first the total of the amounts appropriated. I have then deducted for each year the amounts appro- priated for preparedness, or for the defense of the country, and extraor- dinary appropriations, so as to find for each year the true amount of appropriations made for the current expenses of the government.
 For the year 1916 I find the total appropriations made amounted to $1,114,937, ,012.02. From that total I deduct the extraordinary appropria- tions made for the defense of the country. amounting to $4,786,759.99, leaving $1,11O,150. .254.03 as the amount, appropriated to meet the current expenses of the government for the fiscal year 1916.
 For the year ending July 31, 1917, find the total of all appropriations amounts to $1.626,439, ,209.63. From this I deduct all the extraordinary appropriations made for the defense of the country, amounting to $423,- 17O.024.07, leaving a balance of $1,- 2O3 .269 .1S5.56.> From this I deduct the other extraordinary appropria- tions amounting to . s85,240,9 0,940.43, leaving a balance of 118,O2S,245.13 as the total of amounts appropriated for the current expenses of the gov ernment for the year 1917. Deduct ing the amounts appropriated for the current expenses of the government for the year ended July 31, 1916, from the aggregate amount appro- priated for the year ending July 31, 1917, for the current expenses of the government we find that the amount for 1917 exceeds that for 1916 by ST. S77 .991.10. This very moderate in- crease of current expenses for 1917 over those for 1916 does not more than represent the normal and nat ural growth and development of the country. This is a showing of which the Democratic party may well be proud. It may be distinctly under
The Bridgeport evening farmer., 1916-10-26

stood, too, that the Democratic party does not pose as a party of small ap- prOpriationS. It stands for economy in appropriations, but this country is big enough and rich enough to fur nish the necessary money for the progressive activities which must be supplied in order to prevent retard- ing the growth of the country.
 There has never been such a period of constructive legislation as has been shown during the present administra- ton. The standpat inertia of success sive Republican administrations has been supplanted by progress in al- most every department of the ma- terial life of the country. In taking care of those activities it will be not ed that we have appropriated over fifty millions of dollars for the pur- chase of ships to restore the Amer ican merchant marine on the high seas, six million dollars for the con- struction of rural post roads, over six million dollars for the Alaskan railroad, S6,100,000.00 for the Farm Loan Board, s455,00O for the pur- chase 'of legation buildings in China and Cuba, and many other lesser sums for other necessary activities Of
 
 The increased appropriations to put the Army in efficient shape amount to more than $165 .000,0 ,00O, and for the Navy more than s163,- 10000, and for Notifications about $20,000,OO0 in excess of the amounts heretofore annually appropriated.
 We have appropriated $20,0O0,000 for a nitrate plant in order that this country might not be entirely de- pendent on Chile for the nitrates ne- cessary for the manufacture of ex- plosives. The total increases over last year for the defense of the country amount to 418,383,266.0S; and the total amount of extraordin- ary appropriations for the necessary activities of the government is $S5,- 0,940.43.
 The Democratic Congress has sim ply appropriated the necessary money to make effective the progress sive constructive legislation which was absolutely necessary for the pro- lection of the country and the de- velopment of it's material interests. The prosperity which the country is now experiencing is a result of Dem ocratic constructive legislation and the appropriations made to make the same effective.
