HON. FRED E. WHITE is LOYAL
CORNER Congressman Speaks for His
Feeling Toward Germany at
Big Meeting.

Delta, Aug. 22.-In no uncertain
terms did Hon. Fred White, "natura
born German" ex-congressman anC
candidate for governor, speak forth
his feeling toward Germany and hei
deeds in the world war at a patriotic
meeting here Saturday night.
Addressing croud of some five hun
dred persons he said: IL am natural
born German, and remained in that
country until was thirteen and half
years old. Since that time have gone
back and studied that country twice.
Therefore, ! know what am talking
about"
Speaking upon the topic as to wheth-
er or not England brought on the war
he said further: you have heard time
and again that England brought on
this war with Germany, but want to
say that a more able bodied lie was
never perpetrated. Do you suppose
that England would have instigated a
war with country that had the great
est army in the world when she her
self had only small and contempt
ible army as Germany called it?
Again, it has been claimed that
England brought on the war by endea-
voring to crush Germany industrially
and commercially. This too, Is an able
bodied lie! Only little more than two
years ago Germany had her factories
right in the city of London turning out
her products, and labelling them Made
In Germany She was permitted to op-
crate these factories on the same term
and conditions with the Englishmen.
Does that look like England wanted
to crush Germany industrially? Does
that look like England wanted to
check Germany's industrial and COM
mercial progress? No! The real cause
of the war was the infernalism and
world power of Kaiser Bill! No other
cause can ever be assigned"
Paying his respects" more particu-
larly to the kaiser the speaker declar-
ed that "a more brutal and blasphem-
GUS old reprobate than the kaiser new
er disgraced Gods earth! Yet, he
claims that God is keeping company
with him, and that he and God are
fighting Germany's battles. This BIAS
phemous utterance is upon every let
ter he writes, and in every message
re sends forth. Imagine if you can"
the speaker continued, God keeping
company with Kaiser Bill! Do you
think for a moment that God would be
caught in company with an old repro
bate that uses bear-grease to make his
mustache stick-up?!!!"
Turning his address to "slackers"
and Germans" in this country, Mr..
White affirmed that there are slack
ers and Germans all over this country
who have made themselves ridiculous
by their treason and disloyalty. They
are impositions upon the United
States and ought to be arrested and
driven out"

Question: Because of broken
fence one Of my sows was bred early
in the fall and had some pigs which
are now about two months old, They
do not seem well, stand around bumped
up and seem to try to cough, or, rather
like something was pounding from
the inside. What is the matter and
what can do for them
Il. +. b. Great Falls.
Answer: From the symptoms you
describe there is little doubt but that
your pigs have the thumps, "a rather
common ailment of young pigs during
the winter time. 1t Is caused by too
rich feeding combined. with lack Of
exercise. The actual, thumps them
selves. as the knocking mentioned is
called. come from excessive fatty
growth in the region of the heart,
which restricts the action OF that or
gan. There is not great deal that
can be done for a pig once it contracts
the disease. Cut down on the feed
and try and force IL to take
exercise. The prevention consists OF
the same measures. DO not feed win
ter pigs too heavily and make them
exercise all that Is possible. When the
weather is mild they can. of course

Planting Barley.
What are the best kinds
of barley to plant and how much shall
! plant to the acre?
II. NJ f., Darby.
Answer:-The two most common
types sof barley to plant are the two
and six rowcd barlcys. the former being
Generally planted ON irrigated land
and the latter on dry. There are
bearded and hulless varieties of both
these-typcs. For dry land the amount
of seed will vary from 3 to s pecks I'M
der the different conditions met. A lit
tic less than a bushel will generally
suffice. For irrigated land this amount
should be largely increased and from
one and one half to two bushels should
be planted to the acre. The culture
and planting is very similar to wheat.
