Those words Of opprobrium, "Punic Faith"

words, German faith"-the product of a country

Peace may be restored in few years but the

AUTOBIOGRAPHY
BY DR.. Frank Crane

My dear Mabel: I thank you for your recent
letter asking for my autobiography to read be-
fore your woman's club. 1 glad to get a
chance to show you what a real autobiography
ought to be. Nobody cares when Soandso was
born, where, when he married, what
was his college. What people want to know is
some such matter as follows:
The subject of this sketch is a husky male
person about six feet tall, with visible de-
formities.
He owns two fountain pens neither of which
works very well.
patent pencil sharpener you poke the pencil In
one end and turn crank at the other; it's grand
He does not operate a typewriter, but makes
all his words by hand.
He has secretary, who writes all his articles
a machine She also answers the telephone
knits for soldiers, buys Liberty bonds, and tells
her boss she wouldn't write that IL she were he
He has never taken her out to lunch.
He cannot add subtract with any degree
of uniformity, hence his secretary keeps tally in
the check book.
He was married young, and his wife has been
on the job steady ever since
He reads everything he writes when IL is in
print. He is his favorite author
to them
His father was Methodist preacher; still,
he has never been in JAIL
He is very lazy, fond of anything habit-form-
ing, plays chess poorly, wears eight shoe and
a sixteen and a quarter collar smokes cigars that
cost two and eighttenths cents apiece, loves ex-
pensive soft shirts, likes to have his feet rubbed
an increditable amount of matches, goes to
the theater when he gets free tickets, but pays to
see the movies; is always ahead of time at break
fast, and his fayorite fruit is Casaba melon.
The authors he admires most are Maeterlinck
Anatole France, j. Briefly, Pater, Symons, and
Conan Doyle
His favorite magazine used to be The Independ-
ent, before they improved it. He buys at the
news stands every week detective stories The
Saturday Evening Post and Golfers, and reads
all the mystery stories
He loathes sex-soaked literature.
Ditto the whole bellyache school of writer's.
room in the house
believes all the chauffeur tells him about it.
when he understands, which is not often.
He does not belong to anything, but believes
movements such anarchy, socialism, single-tax
land currency birth control, woman's rights, the
Gary system and Christianity.
He answers every letter he receives, when he
can make out the senders name and address.
He does not go to banquets unless he is paid
for it, and attends meetings only the same
terms
He writes for living, and is not ashamed to
take money from the capitalistic press.
In conclusion, it may be said of him, as Bill
Nye said of himself that he is of cheerful dfspo-
sition, and pleasant to be thrown amongst; also
that in the morning he wears morning dress, in
the evening he wears evening dress, and at night
he night dress.

The Pigs War Value.

Until now one has always thought of wars be-
ing won by fighting men, guns and swords. These
things are still indispensable and victory comes
only through their direct application. But this war
has become worldwide and all the energy and ac-
tivity OF nation engaged in it must be drawn upon
The soldier for instance, must be fed else he be-
comes liability instead of a martial asset.
+ Quoting Food Administrator Hoover in this con-
nection to the effect that every hog is of greater
value in the winning of this war than a she'll" the
Macon News says:
There are signs that the State of Georgia
has turned fits attention permanently to the
raising Of hogs. Packing plants have sprung
up at various points throughout the State and
the marketing of hogs is not so unorganized
and so difficult as is the case with many other
food products. The raising of live stock is also
vital but the cattle tick has given the farmer
great deal OF trouble and the sapheads who
Obstinately oppose dipping have been a dis
turbing element. These factors should not be
allowed to stand in the way of cattle raising,
but in the case of raising hogs even these
difficulties absent
In the light of these things the production of
hogs and cattle can be to be highly patriotic
service and those who would hinder such a serv-
ice i'm any way must be considered recreant to their
duty to their country.
1t is gratifying, indeed, note that the raising
of cattle and hogs in this State has been simpifed
by the erection of local packing plants. No farmer
can diversity his products unless he can find an
easy market for them. Georgia will produce real
" wonderful amount of pork and beef this year.
Both patriotism and good business sense make plain
the fact that production next year should be in
creased to the fullest extent possible.

The Soldiers Recreation Fund.

Significant indeed is the movement, nationwide,
which was begun Monday. to raise adequate
fund for the work of the commissions on training
camp activities. Perhaps labor in behalf of the
enlisted will prove of greater benefit than this.
Its purpose is look after the welfare of the sol
ders when they off duty. 1t is generally recog
nized that this is the time especially when the SOL
der is most susceptible to good influences the
one hand and most exposed to temptation on the
other.
The training camp commissions desire to pro-
duce amusements and entertainments for the men
in their leisure hours during week-ends, while
they are away from the camps visiting nearby
cities. In addition to providing places for the SOL
diers in the nature of clubs, which will be fitted
with all conveniences and comforts, the hospitality
of individual homes will be obtained. The touch
with home and normal home life will thus be con-
tinued.
1t is easy to see what this will mean to the
man who spends five days and half each week in
the exacting requirements and atmosphere of the
army camp. He will take with him to the trenches
in France a deeper love for his own country and
his own countrymen. He will be mentally re-
freshed. He will become all the a man and all
fighting unit. The first and last craving of the
soldier is the assurance that the folks back home
are giving him unrestrained sympathy and support
1t is highly desirable that he get this assurance in
full measure before he is sent abroad and that it
be kept up there in the greatest degree possible.
