Pigs Raised by Member of Pig Club.
versity of Florida extension division,
to have the corn club boys take up the
work. They will have feed from their
acre of corn on which to raise the pigs.
Various organizations, such as bank
ers, boards Of trade and school boards,
are fostering the pig club movement.
Mr.. Harrington advises that care be
used In selecting the membership.
County agents should see that ade.
auate provision for feeding and pas
turing the pig is made.
In those counties where the bankers
are lending money for purchasing ami
mails, extra precautions should ba
made for their care.
The debt Is to be Cancelled from the
sale of the increase of the pig and
neither will be adequate unless proper
facilities are provided.

GOOD WISHES
BY FORTUNE FREE.

OMEONE said that the richest
- person was the one who was
~ fullest of good wishes for others
and who received their good
wishes in return. Wishing others well
did him or her all the good in the
world, and the good wishes in return
were powerful for good. Don't we find
1t so ourselves? No one can do with
out them. They are our dearest pos
, sessions.
Montague Williams, the celebrated
British barrister, once related the story
Of rather unlovely old gentleman of
miserly habits and rejoicing in the
nickname amongst the urchins of the
neighborhood of "Old Pickbones." Gen
If he wished any human creatures well
he kept 1t secret to himself. He was
a man who seemed impervious to all
good wishes-a solitary old grudger
who cared nothing for the good or the
bad wishes of any human creature.
When he died, however, it turned out
that he had been by no means as thick
skinned as he seemed. He left a will
In which he bequeathed money to diff |
ferent persons, and ten thousand |
pounds to some unknown individual |
whom he directed his solicitor to dis, |
cover If possible. That person had
been accustomed to send him yearly
an anonymous post card with just,
"Best wishes at this time to you"
The writer gave no clue as to who
he was. Did the old gentleman tear
the cards up or throw them into the
fire? Not bit of it. He had carefully
preserved them-tied them up in a
nice packet. ''If the writer can be dis.
covered" he ordered in his will, 81

HIS POSITION NO SINECURE
Persian Poet Laureate Kept at Work
immortaIizlng the Speeches Of
His Royal Master.

Persia appears to be the only coun-
try besides England where a poet
'aureate has been maintained of re-
cent years. Until Muzaffar-ed-Din
abolished the post in 1896 the court
of Teheran had for centuries pos
sessed laureate, whose duties we're
far more numerous than those of his
British confrere.
According to Narcisse Persin, who
spent some years in Persia at the
beginning of the nineteenth century.
court etiquette prescribed that
whenever the shah travelled outside
the capital his suite must include
dwarf, a giant, a jester, historiog-
fapher and a poet laureate.
The last two were kept busy, for,
while the historiographer had to re-
tord for posterity all the doings and
sayings of the shah, the laureate was
called upon to celebrate large pro-
portion of these in verse. M. Persin
highly commends this custom, which
he found rigidly followed, "for the
shah, knowing that many of his ut
terances and deeds would be crystal
lied in an ode, felt bound, on these
royal progresses, to speak and behave
naiestically."

Backing Up Italy

| THE allies response 10 ltaly's appeal for
l assistance in repelling the Austro-
German hordcs Is one of the most inspiring
circumstances OF the whole war. 1t has
shown 10 the world that the entente nations
are allies in effect as we'll as in name. and
that Germany cannot crash one OF us with
out crushing all of US.
ltaly'S adversely has drawn her war as
sociates closer TO her and has frightened the
bond holding together those nations which
have united their fortunes and their resources
in II determination to rid the earth of that
militarism which Germany embodics. And
tho swiftncss with which the United States.
England and France have moved to the sup
port of the hard-pressed Italians will show
the German government that 1t cannot isolate
any one of her enemies and mark it for
destruction.
Nor would this assistance have been de-
layed until General Cadorna's line had with
drawn, if the Italians had given any intimation
of their inability to hold the positions which
they had gained. True. Rome has been ask
ing for months for coal and munitions. but
not for men. Such supplies as could be de-
livercd were given to Italy long before the
German drive began. but the need OF re-
endorsements was not expressed until it was
too late. Within twelve hours from the rails

French units were %hurrying to Cadorna's sup
poll. no lloop uioN GLlSlltp VI a WAS
limited by the transportation facilities avail
able, but by no other fact. If it had been
humanity possible, a million men no doubt
would have been rushed TO the Italian front
between sunset and sunrise.
1t has not been practicable for the United
States to contribute men. in this situation.
but this government has done all that has
been asked Of it. We have placed every
available ship in the Italian service. We
have ordered the movement Of vast tonnage
of coal and munitions, and arc prepared to
keep this up just as long as our help is
needed.
Italy has not lain down. confessing help
lcssness. On the contrary. the whole coun-
try has rallied behind its army with a
unanimity and determination unparalleled in
any other nation now at war. Political diff
ferenccs and issues have been sunk. No dis
senters are left. The whole Italian people
are welded together against the invader.
This. coupled with tho powerful forces which
the allies have loaned to Italy, means that
must pay an appalling price for
any advantage which she may hope to gain
by her sudden thrust into Italian territory.
