Raise More Hogs.

We who 1--we inland, have been ex-
tremly slow tof get full understand
ing of the gravity of the situation
which this farRdreadful war has plac-
ed US in. To many of US the war has
thus far amounted to little more
than newspaper stories of battles in
foreign counties, but to put it mild
ly, the situation is grave and it be-
hooves US to lid our armies IN every
possible wayi to end the war as
quickly as possible. Our armies are
now threatened with shortage. of
pork which wo1ld seriously handl-
cap their cfefuveness.

year our es.eptsts OF pork were three
times as grea; as normal. This large
export was made without being bas-
ed upon any ssgeat increase in pro-
duction, henle our supply is very
low.

this: EveryAmer1can farmer is ur-

"Suffer them to come unto Me-
The Heavenly Father said,
For my glory is to see
Such around the throne of God.
His eyes with radiance did shine
AS in his crib he lay,
With sweet expression all the time
As if wishing he could here stay.
He his affection bore
With smiling patience sweet,
AS if born to endure
Until he his Lord did meet.
His little stay on sarth
Was very brief and trying:
Just five short months from birth
He entered life by dying
The parents great comfort have
To know they will him see;
And when they this world leave
They will with him united be.
He cannot to them come,
But they to him can go,
To live for ever in that home
With the babe they loved SO.
