Hogs that are practically free from

Being harder they are more resistant
to other diseases common to the hog.

Report Ready to Publish.

It was added that as soon as the board
is appointed announcement will be made
of what has been accomplished. 1t was
stated. indeed, that a review has been.
prepared by the signal service and is now
in the hands Of the committee on public
information. ready for dissemination upon
announcement of the appointment of the
board. 1t was asserted that this report
Will be satisfactory to the lawmakers and
to the public as demonstrating what has
actually been done.
In the view of some members OF tho
Council Of National Defense the signal
service has been overly cautious In
Withholding information as to progress.
That is a difference In viewpoint, 1t Is
said, between the military and the
civilian: the military. 1t is alleged.
being prone to take the stand of the
former president of great railroad
that 'the public be-blessed," or words
to that effect.
This Will not be acceptable to the ap-
propriations committees. however. 1t is
said. since the public "he pays the
freight" and Congress is responsible to
the people for expenditures of the
money raised by taxes and bond issues.
If, as intimated. the signal service has
satisfactory report in hand, and II
the department is coming after more
money, the feeling in the appropria-
tions committees is expected to be that
the more publicity given what has been
done the better will be the prospect Of
Congress 'loosening up" again.

efficient in this war by protesting against

These worthy persons should realize
that they are acting against the interest

of Germany. II they doubt this they have
only to ponder the fact that in their atti-

Costly Conflict.

Every American citizen must wake
to the fact that the most important
thing in life for him today is to help
to the best Of his ability the United
states win the war;" said Senator Hoke
Smith of Georgia last night, comment
ing upon the war situation as it has
recently developed in Europe.
The success of Germany and Austria
along the Italian front and the stua-
ton in Russia, have practically wiped
out all hope of an es.rly peace. a peace
which can only come with the defeat
Of the central powers" continued Sem
ator Smith. 1.-The part that this country
must play in the bringing about the
successful conclusion OF the war is big
ger than ever. and Americans must
realize that this country is fighting for
it's existence along with the allies
against power that seeks to dominate
the world.

Mothers Should Arouse Congress-

What we mothers ought to do is to
ssimuiate Congress to give to the
United States Navy enough hospital
ana ambulance ships to meet the needs
adequately. The Solace and the surf
are the only ships of the kind we have.
We need four or five more hospital
ships and an ambulance ship for each
Of them.
Since war has been declared the

greatly augmented. not because the

our fleet.
During a naval engagement, how

accommodation are made to care for
10 per cent Of the ships men should

can be cared for by bringing down the

has been made in a medical way
After naval engagement the ship
would steam into some nearby port,

Senator Smith laid great stress upon

the German air fleets and of carrying

Delay in Naming Board.

Inquiry yesterday in authoritative

assigned for a certain amount OF delay

delay of the President in appointing the

yesterday. however. that announcement
Of its personnel may be expected at

That board was authorized by Congress
at the request of the War Department
and the initial organization of the aircraft
section OF the Council OF National Defense.
Congress passed the act as it was drawn
by the officials. without amending an un-
usual procedure in itself. The main object
Of the act was to give the signal service
Of the Army and the bureau of naviga-
ton of the Navy control over aircraft
production. with coordination Of civilian
efforts. the aid of technical knowledge of
the industry possessed by men engaged in
the commercial branch Of productivity.

for the creation of 4 joint committee

Success of the effort for this super

Many Missouri Farms Need

The use of ground limestone or

soil will soon become a regular farm
practice in many parts of Missouri
The reasons for this practice were
given by K A Kinnaird Of the Col

even limestone soils have lost SO
much OF the lime which they for

from soil acidity. The continuous
teaching to which soils in the humid
regions are subjected and which is
greatly increased by cultivation is
largely responsible for this loss of

therefore, is in those soils which
