FOOD is GOING TO WASTE
IN PITCAIRN ISLAND

LONDON, May 9.-Food is scare in
England but it is going to waste in Pit
cairn Island, Great Britain's least
inhabited possession. In fact, life Is
very pleasant in this solitary island in
the Pacific where the several hundred
inhabitants have no one to trouble
them and where they have had no mail
since the war, although they know
something about the great conflict
from passing steamers.
A report received here from the chief
magistrate of the island, Gerard Rob-
ert Bromley Christian says: PLENTY to
eat-fruits and vegetables Of various
kinds, oranges going to waste, ban
anas just the same, potatoes, pump
kins, yams, pineapples, beans, maize
all that we need along that line. But
we only get our supplies from passing
ships, such as -four, clothing, soap, oil
and other articles for domestic use"

WOULD BUILD BATTLESHIP
ENTIRELY BY WOMEN

LONDON, May Sine mead of a
big GLASGOW shipbuilding firm, speak
ing at the opening OF the Exhibition of
Women's War Work here this week,
paid warm tribute to the excellent
results obtained in his business from
dilution" with women labor.
Given two more years of war" he
said, Il would undertake to build
battleship from keel to aerial in all its
complex detail entirely with woman
labor.
1.-THE idea is neither fantastic nor
visionary. The woman who has train
ed for a trapeze can find her vocation
at the giddy heights of Scotch crane,
and the girl who is proficient at dane
iLg is well equipped for undertaking
work involving movement of position.
There are some operations in the
smiths and press shops in which the
aptitude of women for correct appre-
citation of time intervals shows to great
advantage. In the training Of women,
the results obtained from their labor
and the shortness of time in which they
arrive at proficiency have exceeded all
expectations.

RAISE A PIG FOR UNCLE SAM
MEAT SUPPLY TO INCREASE

WASHINGTON May 9.-The United
States government is urging increased
raising OF pigs. The meat supply OF
the country must be increased, and the
quickest way to do it is by raising
hogs.
Concerning the production of pork,
the department of agriculture has the
following to say:
1.-THE meat supply of the country can
be increased more quickly by the hog
route than by any other. The coun-
try's need to argument its supply is
great, but prevailing high prices alone
should be sufficient inducement to
farmers to raise more hogs. The pros
pect of success never was brighter
The high prices ruling in all markets
show that the demand for pork is in
excess of the supply"
For easy money the hog is unequal
led, according to the bureau of animal
industry of the department. The bureau
points out that the hog, while requir-
ing less care than the average farm
animal, obligingly eats all the farms
by-products. Kitchen refuse, skim
milk, scraps from the table, may all be
turned into palatable pork in short
order.
One point brought out is that in
creased production of pork would low
er the price of beef.
That it may become the fad for each
child to raise pig, was pointed out
following the adoption of such a
scheme, with modification, in Ohio

speaker of the evening, short talks

Joseph Perkins and Mr.. Gordon

A male quartette, consisting of Mr..

Howell and Mr.. Welbur Smith, will
render several selections. A mixed
quartette, consisting of Miss Blanche
Snider, Miss Maude Conner, Mr.. Cor
don Howell and Mr.. Welbur Smith,
will also sing.
A committee of the ladies of the
church will see that the refreshments
receive their proper place on the pro-
gram. 1t is expected that the entire
of the church will be
present to enjoy the evening. This
means you, if you are a member or

tation is extended to any friend OF the

HARVARD MEN DRILLING;
INTENSIVE MILITARY TRAINING

CAMBRIDGE, Mass, May 9.-With
all exams cleared away under spec
ial arrangement, Harvard University
students and graduates began intensive
military training this week.
Students and graduates, the latter all
under the age of 80, were spanked in
to form by half dozen oficers-men
who have seen actual service but are
unfit for further service on the battle
fields. The minimum age for these re-
cruits for the reserve officers corps is
10.
From now on these men will train
10 hours day for five days a week. AT
this rate it is expected about 1000 men
will in a few months be prepared for
service with the rank of lieutenant.

LEE COURT GR|NDs
At REGULAR TERM

LEESBURG, Ca, May 9.-Lee Supe-

vened Monday morning, Judge q. A
ttlejohn presiding, and has been busy
since, grinding away on the cases that
are ready for trial. The civil docket
was very light this term.
A. w. Goodwin was elected foreman
of the grand jury, and E. S. Ferguson,
Ja., secretary.
Solicitor-General John Allen Fort is
looking after the interests of the state,
and is making an excellent prosecuting
attorney.
G. A. Wallace, the new clerk of the
Superior court, is attending to his office
with dispatch during the session. Sher-
if Phil Coxwell, with his able deuty,
w. w. Hooks, Jr., and their assistants,
are keeping up with their duties, and
nowhere can there be found more
able set of officers than in the county
of Lee.
No cases of special interest have
been disposed of at this term of court,
and there are fewer criminal cases
docketed than in a long time. The
court will probably adjourn Wednes-
day, or thursday.
Britt w. Davis, former Americas
boy, now residing in Savannah, is look
ing after Court Stenographer Glover's
work at this term of court.

And there is much work and strain

Forget the buried woes and dead de-

Here is brand new trial right at

The future is for him who does and

Old failures will not halt, old tri-
