ing. The sowS are bred to produce,
rs nearly as possible, two litters
per year. Sows are usually bred in
November so that the pigs will be
farrowed during late February, or
early March. The pigs are weaned
at 8 70 10 weeks of age and sows
bred again for a September litter.
The practice of raising two litters a
year is more or less successful but
if three filters are produced in two
years. results are about as p0Od as
can BE- expected. The pigs produc-

ALL STATES GAINED
BY FEDERAL ROAD AID

WASHINGTON, u. c. Dec. "a
All the states of the union have
availed themselves OF the opportu-
nifty of participating in the benefits
OF the Federal Aid Road Act, which
appropriated rs million dollars for
the construction of post roads and
10 million dollars for forest roads,
according to the report of the di-
rector of the office Of public RAIDS
and rural engineering United States
department of agriculture. That the
passage of the act has stimulated
road building is shown by the fact
that in 1916. there were approxi-
mately Al million dollars of state
funds expended for all highway pur-
poses. and it is estimated that in the
calendar year 1917. the aggregate
expenditures of state funds for this
purpose will be at least 50 millions,
A number of the states have made
specific appropriations to meet fed
eral aid dollar for dollar. Among
these are New York, Illinois. Michi-
gan. Rhode Island. Nevada, Iowa,
Florida and Vermont.

supplied with enough fiction to sup
ply those who care for nothing else
Turning to the older standard fiction
should prove a real pleasure to those
who have neglected it for the newer,
more ephemeral storise.
At the central library an entire
section has been set aside in the
reading room for the best material
both in book and pamphlet form, on
the substitute foods which can be
used to save wheat, fats and meat
for the soldiers.
A special shelf in each branch Ii
brary will be devoted to the same
purpose as soon as the supply ar
riVes.
The branch libraries visited were
those of Adams, Athena, Weston,
Milton and Freewater and the state
librarian expressed herself as most
pleased with the condition in which
she found them. both in books sup
piled and the spirit of the patrons.
Those accompanying Miss Marvin
on the trip were Mrs. j. F. Robinson,
Mrs. Jessie S. Vert, Mrs. Norborne

ed simultaneously in the minds
of many thousands as neces-
sary reaction of events which
they have witnessed and un-
derstood. The idea now so
prevalent, and so frequently
expressed ordinarily is clothed
in such words as these:
Peace now would simply
be a prelude to more war. A
peace arranged with the pres
ent government of Germany
would be nothing but truce.
During the truce the nations of
the earth would arm and for
tify and prepare with the ut
most energy. There would be
a steady and rapid growth of
armies and navies. Taxes
would reach staggering pro-
portions. Peace now would
serve merely to put off the
reckoning that has to be made
with the Prussian theory of
government if men henceforth
are to enjoy life, liberty and
the pursuit of happiness"
The mind that can ina CINE a
desirable peace with the kais-
er's gang-a peace that would
be anything more than a
breathing space between wars,
a dreadful pause in the ire
pressible conflict of the forces
Of liberty and progress against
the earthly powers of dark
ness, a truce maintained at
ruinous cost of labor, material
and spiritual retrogression-is

establishment of the reserve
system he performed service of
the highest value to the ma

and driving power have been

department has been conduct
