Kenosha Boys May
Have Noual I raining
Mayor to Make Plans for City to Send
Boys to Junior Reserve Naval
Camp This Summer.

Now comes the opportunity for some
kenosha boys to do their bit in be-
coming prepared to serve Uncle Sam,
as Mayor Pfennig is in receipt of
letter from the Scholarship Board of
the United States Junior Naval Reserve
informing him that Kenosha is entitled
to representatives at Camp Dewey
this summer, where a thousand boys
from all over the country viii be
trained in the art of naval warfare.
Mayor Pfennig has already taken steps
to select boys suitable, both physically
and in scholastic way to receive the
training here offered
The committee agrees to furnish the
mayor prepared printed matter and
posters to be distributed to the patrio-
tic citizens inviting them to assist in
providing scholarships for additional
cadets and gives the following infor-
nation as to the probable cost of the
training: Rations, 40 cents per day, 60
days, $26.04; uniforms, two fatigue and
one dress, $4,000; instructors and of
fcers, ffty-six, $11, 200, or $11.20 per
boy; depreciation of property ($75,000)
at twenty per cent, $500 per day; this
makes the total cost for each boy, ex-
elusive of transportation, 1924. Keno
sha may appoint as many boys as the
funds raised in this city will cover.
There will be no trouble in securing
applications for the places, if Kenosha
is as enthusiastic over this training as
other cities have been. Mayor Pfen-
mig has secured the cooperation of
school authorities in selecting the boys
that will best receive the training here
offered and will be able to make his
selections in ample time for the boys to
make preparation to attend camp
in June.

Enlistments for the navy came slow

office today and but two men were sent
to Milwaukee to pass the examination.
In the meantime it was declared that
recruiting for other arms of the serv-
ice in Kenosha was brisk. With the
cavalry troop ready for orders renewed
activity was given to enlistments for
the infantry and it is declared that a
lot of the men who failed to land in
the cavalry are taking the next best
step--a try at the infantry.
Roy K, Dorr, who is in charge of
getting enlistments for the officers
reserve camp, has had a lot of men
interview him and he feels certain that
out of this interviewing he will get at
least a dozen men who will be enlisted
when the camp opens at Ft. Sheridan
on next Tuesday morning. This call
for the officers reserve force is prov

AN IDEAL MEAT e

ere long 1t will be one OF the leading
stock industries of the state.
AN IDEAL MEAT.
He declares that the rabbit IL the
ideal meat producing animal, and az
soon as the public finds that rabbit
meat is the cheapest meat they can
buy and that 1t contains more nutrition
than that of any other animal. its use
will be more general than that Of fowls.
Further, he states that rabbits pro-
duce more meat in proportion to their
size and that it is a better quality Of
food. The cost Of keeping rabbits is
small, for the reason that they are not
heavy eaters and while they will only
eat that which is clean, trimmings and
top and leaves discarded by city folks
will feed a goodly number.
The fur Of the tame rabbit is valu-
able and the hide is used for making
fine leather. The fur is scraped off
and finds ready sale with hat manu-
facturers. The hides with the fur on
will bring from 20 to 60 cents, states
Mr.. Roberts.
THREE VARIETIES RAISED.
Idaho breeders. he states, are boost
ing three different varieties. the Flem-
ish Giants, New Zealand Reds and Bel

to breed at the age of six months and
produces young in 40 days. A doe will
average six filters in year Of from
6 to IA and the young rabbits are
ready to market in 10 weeks, when they
will weigh from one and one half to
two pounds dressed and will bring the
producer from rs to 40 cents per
pound.

HOG RAISING TO
Be IMPORTANT
WAR INDUSTRY
Stable and Fair Prices to Be
Allowed by Administra-
ton to Grower and Pack
ers Controlled.
A d m n s t r ator Bicknell
Modifies Attitude Regard
ing Feeding Of Wheat to
Hogs-Hoover Points Out
Main Purposes.

To see that the producer at all times
can count on a fair price for his hogs,
20 that 1t will be profitable to him
that the farmers increase the number
Of hogs bred--to eliminate the profit
Of the packer and the middle man and
to eliminate speculation are declared to
be the four main purposes in view with
reference to hogs held by Herbert
Hoover, as disclosed by an official
nell. food administrator for Idaho
Saturday.
Mr.. Hoover sent this reply to re-
cent telegraphic inquiries concerning
hogs:
STABLE PRICES.
IAN Of the purposes mentioned are
necessary because we must have more
hogs 30 that the ultimate consumer
shall at all times get an adequate sup
ply Of hogs at the lowest feasible price.
I'VE shall establish rigid control Of
the packer. Fair prices to the farmer
for his hogs, we believe, will be
brought about by the full control which
the food administration has over the
buying of the allies, our army and
navy, the Red Cross, the Belgian relief,
and the neutrals.
The first step is to stop the sudden
break in prices paid for hogs in the cen
trail markets. These prices must be-
come stable, SO that the farmer knows
where he stands and will feel justified
In increasing the number of hogs for
next winter. The prices so far as we
can effect them, will not go below a
minimum of about $3.50 per hundred
weight for the average of the packers
droves on the Chicago market.
I'VE have had and shall have the
advice of board composed of practi-
cal hog growers and experts That
board advises that the best yardstck
TO measure the cost of production Ct
the hog is the cost of corn.
THAT board further advises that the
ratio of corn prices to hog prices on
the average over a scores of years,
has been about IL to /, or a little less.
In the past, when the ratio has gone
lower than IL to !, the stock of hogs
IN the country has decreased.
When 1T was higher than IL the
hogs have increased. That board has
given it's judgment that to bring the
stock of hogs back to normal und ar
present conditions the ratio should be
about 10.
Therefore, as to the hogs narrowed
next spring. we will try to stabilize the
price so that the farmer can count on
getting for each 100 pounds of hog
ready for the market, 10 times the aver
age cost per bushel of corn fed to the
hogs"
MoDlFlEs ATTITUDE.
The necessity for the raising of hogs
has caused Administrator Bicknell 20
modify in q way his attitude towards
the feeding of wheat to the porkers.

tisation has shown that in most in
