Hogs to Be Raised.

Garbage from thirteen cantonments
will be fed to hogs The garbage from
ten to fifteen men will feed one hog a
day. Hogs will gain on the average of
one pound day on this ration for $50
days. Thirteen cantonments would pro-
duce 1S,9S0,oo0 pounds of pork a year
if the stock of hogs at each place were
kept up to the maximum number.
Heretofore it has been the custom to
incinerate all dead animals. Now their
hides will be removed and carcasses
decreased and sold for fertilizer mate
rial This will result in increasing the
supply of leather, grease and fertilizer.
1t is estimated that about five tons
of paper a day will accumulate at each
cantonment. These will be sold
Tin, cans. colder and iron will be- re-
claimed. Bottles will be sorted, ster-
ilized and used for commercial pur-
poses
Many other methods of saving and
selling waste material are being de-
vised.
Effort will be made to work out a
plan by which nearby products will be
used at camps when possible, thus con-
serving canned goods and relieving
transportation congestion.

REVENUE MEASURE
CONFERENCE HALTED
House Committee Told Of Insistence
on Senate Definition of
Capital. i

Members of the ways and means COM
mittee at a meeting with the House
conferees on the war tax bill today
We're told that the presence of big
business agents demanding retention
of Senate allowances for good will, pat
ents and other intangible assets, in
determining the capital of business for
taxation purposes was responsible for
the failure of conferees to agree on the
definition of capital, the big point in
controversy.
Early in the conferences, House con-
ferees declared. the Senate conferees
appeared willing to waive the provision
of their bill to make allowance for
these intangible assets, but they have
since changed their attitude. House
members still are holding out against
making the allowances, however, and
majority of the ways and means COM
mlttee is supporting them in their po-
sition.
After explaining the situation to the
ways and means committee. the House
conferees returned to conference 1t
was said the outlook was poor for an
early agreement on the excess profits
section.
Plans of House members who favor
increasing the war profit tax above the
senate rates to bring the matter before
the ways and means committee today
were abandoned because the rate sec
ton had not been reached in confer
ence. AS no other meeting of the ways
and means committee is expected be-
tore the conferees report is brought on
the Hoor, plans now are to make the
night for higher rates there
