been fed both raw and cooked, and the hogs have been allowed to do their own harvesting. Numerous attempts have been made to maintain hogs on sweet potatoes alone, but, like Irish potatoes alone, this ration has prov ed unprofitable. Sweet potatoes have considerable value, however, in q properly balanced ration.
 Because of the expense Of har- vesting and storing sweet potatoes, a profit realized from feeding them to hogs~1s possible only when the hogs are allowed to do their own harvest ing. If the hogs successfully harvest the sweet potatoes. they are doubtless a cheaper feed than COTE on sandy soils that yield from 10 to 15 times as many bushels of sweet potatoes as corn. although the average wield of sweet potatoes is less than 90 bush els per acre, some farms raise as many as 200 bushels.
 Sweet potatoes are considered the best root crop for pigs for fall and early winter grazing on the cut-over pine lands of the South. The roots are low in protein, however, and when pigs are allowed to harvest them some grain. always should be given in addi- tiOn.

ORPHEO THEATRE.

"Clodhopping" promises to be the new dance craze, as done by Chas Ray in the roof garden scene of the rev Triangle play, "The Clodhopper" written by Mote M. Katterphon and produced under the supervision of Thomas H. Ince which will be shown at the Orpheo theatre Monday.
 To pass from the obscurity of Bumpkinvile to bright lighted fame on Broadway in three days and three nights is the dazzling sensation that Ray undergoes as the Clodhopper. He becomes a celebrity of Lobster square largely by virtue of his eccentric dress and his ability to execute a curious dance.
 The most spectacular scene of this Ince production is the New York roof garden with it's runway over the hehds of the audience, it's cendle- lighted tables, surrounded by ultra fashionable women and their male companions, and a jazz band playing the frantic music to which Ray and his much press agented billion dol lar beauties' clodhop about the stage. After their performance the guests also try the hop" on the cleared floor space.
 The gawky country boy, who was turned from home by a penurious father, earns money enough to save this same father from financial dis aster, and to gain the controlling stock in the village bank.
 Margery Wilson appears as Rays country sweetheart.

HAPPENING HOGS
 FOR MARKET

Peanuts, velvet oaans. sweet p3ta- ] toes and chufas are gr0winS fn m portance for fatt 4rirE hi@s i1 the
 South, the animals doing their own i harvesting Peanuts are especially ! important, and it is v3Iy unlikely that l the Southern farme"s will find mora profitable neth0d of disp0sinr | of them than by feeding to hogs and 1 finishing the hogs on other feeds 10 ! harden the flesh. This latter ste7 is necessary because a diet Of peanuts alone make soft pork.
 Soft Pork Gan Be Hardened.
 Soft hogs are objected to for three
 main reasons. First, a piece of soft | pork is very undesirable piece of meat and is objected to by the con sumer: second. the lard reHdered
 from soft-bodied hogs never sets well and is undesirable from the l packers and consumers standpoint: ] third. soft pork never cures as well as hard pork.
 Meat packers question the quality of the meat from hogs fed peanuts and other similar feeds that produce soft pork. and they are not unreason
 able in doing this, as refrigeration | will not harden the carcasses of hogs 1 fed solely on feeds of this character. On the other hand, packers will not | believe that carcasses can be hard 1 ened if fed the proper ration for a certain length of time before killing. This attitude is not justified, how ever. for there are sufficient expert
 mental data at hand to prove that l soft-bodied hogs can be made firm if fn6 ha bination of feeds
 Corn alone will eventually harden scft-bGdied hogs if fed during the lat i ter part of the feeding period for i to weeks, or as a large part of the "a tion during the entire time the pigs | are on feed However, hogs will not | grow rapidly enough on corn alone 1 to put on a quick finish. and the time
 and feed involved in hardening the
 carcasses makes this practice most expensive one. This is true no matter what the price of corn may be, and
 it is especially true at the present
 time when corn is high in rrice
 A ration composed of tWo-thirda
 corn and one-third cottonseed meal l is an excellent hardening ration if the 1 hogs are not to be fed for more than | 21 days. If the finish and hardening 2 period is longer than 21 days. the pro-
 portion of cottonseed meal should be
 reduced to one-siXth of the whole ra-
 tion and the finishing period should
 not extend over five weeks. Cotton
 seed meal has a poisonous effect upon
 swine when fed in large quantities
 for a period of more than SC days. It
 should be used very carefully.

Ask Your Banker.

Everyone should strive to have a
 bank account, especially every man and boy, be it ever so small. One loses nothing in the esteem Of his employer
 and friends by being seen going into or coming out of a bank. Neither does the individual lose any self-re- spect by being seen at bank counter, which is more than can be said of some places. There are plenty of good banks; pick out one and stick to it; and when you are tempted to invest in some alluring get-rich-quick scheme, go to your banker and ask his advice. It will not cost you anything to do this, and may save you loss you cannot afford. It may safely be assumed that if this course were pursued by all of us the money sunk in swindles, fake schemes and impossible enterprises would be reduced to point where it actually would not pay to make the at tempt Before investing, ask your banker.-Popular Mechanics Magazine.

strongly into play the uprising of the scenes are laid in Porto Rico and bring natives, offering excellent opportunity for the promotion of a ptriotic appeal. Then, again it is a story of selfsacri- flee of one girl for her sister. This alone carries enough pathos to grasp the attention of the audience from the very start, which woven into plot that has it's full quota of thrills, pro- vides picture of unquestionable en- tertaining possibilities.
 The mob scenes have all been pre- sented with careful attention and the atmosphere is such to demand praise. The evenly moving story shows the hand of a master director and this release will only place another pro- duction on the list of J. Gordon Cd wards successes.

An exploration of Vimy ridge shows that the British artillery virtually blew off the top of it and the German strong hold, which had resisted all efforts of the French and British during more than two years of war, was finally forced into such position by high explosives that it could not resist infantry charges These charges, of course. were backed up by continuous gunfire and accompanied by all the terrible machines and devices of modern war.
 Walking on the top of the ridge was virtually impossible, and it is just one continuous climb from one shell crater to another. Two surmounting knobs, known only as numbered hills. had attracted the fire of the heaviest British guns and he'd been shelled into unrecognizable buttes on the landscape.
 It is little wonder that the Germans made such desperate efforts to hold the yimy ridge and to retake certain por- tions of it by counter attacks, which failed miserably. The ridge stood as natural barrier between the Germans and their opponents and was a great prote,- tive chain of hills of shielding invaluable coal, iron. and other mineral lands that Germany had wrested from France in the first onrush of the war in 1914 The city If Lens now within sight of the British lines is a great mining center

Record Is Broken in
 Market Price of Rice

New Orleans, April 13.-An high price records were broken in the local rice market today when choice grades of clean Honduras and blue rose rice sold at 6& and 61s cents per pound, respectively. This represented an ad- vance of more than 100 per cent for the last four months. Rough rice also made new high record, choice Hon. duras selling up to $6 per barrel, an advance of s2 per barrel over the price at the beginning of this week.
 Increased consumption of rice as a substitute for potatoes and beans in this country and more extensive use by European and South American countries were reasons given by traders for the steady adS ance in prica the last few months.

American officials in all depart ments will have the opportunity, it was said, to meet the foreign commis- sioners provisionally, discuss with them the immense lessons taught by the war and consider the broad princi- ples whereby the United States can marshal its forces for the great struggle with the minimum of waste and delay.
 It is realized everywhere that this country faces a stupendous task in converting itself almost overnight from peace basis to a universal military, naval, industrial and agricultural mob- ilization The problem is to fill all these separate and unexpected demands without having each cripple the other.
 The entente nations, particularly England. were faced at the beginning of the war with similar questions and learned to solve them only by bitter experience.
 Closely allied to this phase of the conference will be the information gained at first hand as to how Amer ica's resources can best be directed to- ward meeting the common enemy.
