The razorback is fast becom-
ing extinct in New Mexico, and
' il there are still people in the
state who want hogs for speed
rather than pork, they had bet
ter get on the job and get pos
session of some Of these speed
animals before the club boy
drives them all out of the state.
: Believe me, they going out fast,
: faster than they did in Iowa
and Illinois, and some Of the
' other real hog states Of today,
, and all because the club boy is
on the job, and the club boy
knows what pays and is going
TO have it, no matter what dad
says, or what the custom Of the
: community has been heretofore.
Do you know that two hun
dred boys went in for better
hogs last year, and had them
too, and that this year four
hundred boys are going that one
better, and are going to have
, four hundred of the best hogs
obtained anywherei So, you
fellows with the razorback had
better hide him away, for just as
sure as you are born, the pig
, club boys are going TO shoe that
rasorback out of the way Of q
good pork producer.
Don't you stand in the way Of
this movement, for il you do,
You will get left just as far be-
hind in the financial race as the
razorback will he in the race for
better pork, because cooperat-
ing with the boys are the state
college and the United States
government and that is a COM
bination that won't be easy to
buck.

Linn, Kansas,

John Yates,
Deming, N. NJ.
Dear friend:
We have been thinking a great
deal about Deming and its sun
ny days lately. We can't seem
to get used to the winters up
here since living down there.
This has been a very change
able winter, really making it
worse than a steady cold. II
rained last night and is colder
than Greenland tonight. Well,
we managed. to get through si-
other Kansas drought. Most of
the upland corn made almost
nothing but we were fortunate in
having nearly all bottom land
and our corn made over 10
bushels to the acre. We think
we can sell for $l.00 per bushel
before spring.
! wish We had our fine hens
down there this winter. We have
25O Reds, mostly pullets. My
brother said they were Zoe down
there. He was home Xmas.
We We are still expecting to
come back to the sunshinaland
as soon as we can see our way
clear to get started right. We
will be on this place another
year and If we have good crop
it is quite likely that we will
sail for New Mexico next year
about this time. We expect to
take bunch of good Jerseys
back with us and about 800 good
hens.
What do You think about the
Rural Credit acti Is it going to
do US fellows any goodi
We are thinking of selling our
place and buying one nearer Dem
ing. Well, ! hope you did as
well as last year with yonr to-
matoes and all. Are you still on
the same placcs We shall be
glad to hear from You and re-
member that anything You say
about that country will be of in
terest to us.
Yours truly,
Z. A. MEYER.

The Guards Came Through.

Men of the Twenty first Up by the Chalk Pit Wood Weak with our wounds and our thirst, Wanting our sleep and our food, After a day and a night God, shall we ever forget! Beaten and broke in the fight, But sticking it--sticking it yet, Trying to hold the line, Painting and spent and done, Always the thud and the whine, Always the yell of the Hun! Northumberland, Lancaster, York, Durham and Somerset, Fighting alone, worn to the bone, But sticking it-stiking 1t yet. Never a message of hope! Never a word of cheer! Fronting Hill 7O's shell-swept slope, With the dull dead pain in our rear. Always the whine of the shell, Always the roar of it's burst, Always the tortures of Hell, As waiting and winning we cursed Our luck and the guns and the Boche. When our Corporal shouted, stand to-" And I heard some one cry, Clear the front for the Guards!" And the Guards came through. Our throats they were parched and But Lord, if you'd heard the cheers! Irish and Welsh and Scot
 Coldstream and Grenadiers. Two brigades, if you please,
 Dressing as straight as hem, We've were down on our knees,
 Praying for us and for them! Praying with tear-wet cheek,
 Praying with outstretched hand, Lord, I could speak for a week,
 But how could you understand! How should your cheeks be wet,
 Such feelin's don't come to you. But when can me and my mates for

 When the Guards came through? Five yards left extend"
 It passed from rank to rank, Line after line with never a bend,
 And a touch of the London swank. A trifle of swank and dash,
 Cool as home parade, Twinkle and glitter and flash,
 Flinching never a shade, With the shrapnel right in their face
 Doing their Hyde Park stunt, Keeping their swing at an easy pace,
 Arms at the trail eyes front! Man, 1t was great to see!
 Man, it was fine to do! It's a cot and a hospital ward for But I'll tell 'em in Blighty, wherever

PRAY FOR OUR BOYS.

President Wilson having set aside |the last spday of this month as "a |4ay Of application and prayer for lall vhs s essff;ls fAs rPtSs the l9stion' it be- |hcovessey9S'y man and woman to. go E4o church on that day and there on lbended knees ask Almighty God to
 extend His blessings to people lighting for the, freedom enjoyed in this land. Because October 2s has
 been singled out as the particular Sunday for this nationwide service,
 wherein all creeds and classes shall
 partake. is no reason why the prayers
 and applications should be confined
 solely to this one day. On the contrary,
 every Sunday should be a day of prayer. for the success ofa American arms. Tomorrow is a. good time to start. Nor should Sundays be the only time. Every day. every hour, every minute can in some way or another
 be devoted to, solicitation for our boys |Hho are to fight the fight of the just.

WE SHALL KNOW

Until full official reports are given Eout by the Navy Department no one twill know just how many men lost |their lives when the American trans bort Antilles was sunk in the war zone. These are the first sad tidings that have come since Americas en-
 trance into the war. They will serve as
 m, awakening for the American-people who up to this time have failed to realize the seriousness of the situa- ton. Sorrowful though the news be, 1t should also serve as a medium of relief for all those fictitious stories which have emanated from depraved
 minds and which have as their object dire disaster for the hearts of Ameri-
 can mothers. This much should be
 understood. The Navy Department is
 pledged to give out news, good or bad It has withheld nothing the people should know. Up to this one there had been no American transport sunk, what though many stories have been circulated to this effect. Wher
 our boys are killed or, maimed on the
 field of battle or on the high seas the
 people will be acquainted with the
 facts. Until such news is distributed
 through official channels there neeG
 be no cause for grief.

BLESSED ARE THE MEEK.

Caught with great surplus of cold storage eggs. on which they are losing s4O0 car at present prices, Chicago spectators have appealed to the government to save them this loss by making cold storage eggs part of the army ration.
 On top of that these same specula- tors who gambled last spring on a shortage of eggs are asking that their losses be made good and a profit guaranteed by the government. To accomplish this the government would not only have to change the army menu but would in addition, be forced to give the spectators ten per cent over cost.
 If there Is one thing an American admires it is nerve. The Chicago egg spectators stand in a class by themselves when this trait is analysed It was once believed that the meek were blessed and for possessing this virtue would inherit the earth. The speculators figure the other way around.
 Should the government come to the rescue of all the food gamblers and spectators in this country it would soP go bankrupt. Further, if it had to make up losses suffered by

 In ancient times, say 1912, sailors rose at a. m. and scrubbed their own clothes. Now a first class laun- dryman turns out at 4:30 a. m. and with a corps of expert assistants, does it for them. This costs each sailor 40 cents month for all the clean clothes he needs. Officers pay 1 cent a piece. A ships laundry recently took in s13,00O in six months.

QUESTION AND ANSWER.

Editor of the Herald:
 How can I determine the amount of alcohol in liquor?
 I. THIRST.
 Dear MT. Thirst: This is serious matter and as such requires the con- centration of the greatest minds in the universe. Liquor Is a playful little thing. By nature it greatly re- sembles a pet puppy You frolic with
 the pup and he frolics back. But if
 you get rambunctious the pup snaps at you and then bites. You get what
 we mean, of course.
 To answer your question:: First
 mortgage the dear old homestead, approach the habitat of liquor stealth fly, speak respectfully to the gentle man in the white coat, yes, even be humble, and ask the price of a gal hn of whiskey. After you recover cohsciousness, tell the white-clad knight of the tap, you will take pint Resting both elbows on the
 bar and the left foot on the rail with 1 the knee bent at an angle of forty N1ve degrees, gaze steadily at the liquor until you have it hypnotized. Then grabbing the bottle by the neck with sthe right hand hold glass in 1 the left and allow the contents to 1 purl out. Repeat this until the con- t.tents of the bottle have been trans l ferred with neatness and dispatch to the inner temple of your carcass. If I nothing happens you can feel reason l : ably certain that the alcoholic per centage of the whiskey is almost 1 nothing and that, if your banker will 1 stand for second mortgase on the homestead, you may purchase an ] other pint and consume it with inn . .punity-some people like ginger ale. r But, dear MT. Thirst, if, when you l have sighted the bottom of the bot tie, your soul seeks egress with an 1 eagerness to soar with the birds, if 1 the lights become bright, If you find I yourself talking to yourself, if la l tent talent for song suddenly demands 1 recognition, if your feet want to do 1 a double shuffle, if every fellow In 1 the world is the best fellow in the l world. if your existence suddenly takes 1 on a roseate hue
 | If, when you rise from your couch \ in the morning, you discover that
 Someone slipped a trip hammer into | your head while you were trying to reach High c the previous eve, if l your right foot wants to follow H. l Greeley's advice and go west while l your left desires to remain in the 1 effete east If your tongue has gone 1 into the fur business, if you have no l desire for ham and eggs, if-and this ! is very mpertant--your wife looks at ! you with an accusing glare and re- l minds you that she could have mar l ried Willie Mush who is running for l constable on the prohibition ticket l Then, dear MT. Thirst, you may be 1 reasonab bly, certain that the alcoholic l percentage of the whiskey you con- l sumed was high very high In fact 1 the only thing higher was the price l Yours r'sp' p'ctf'ly

FACTS ABOUT THE AMERICAN NAVY LIEUT. F1rzHuGH GREEN, U. 8. N
The Batheship City

A modern battleship Is city of more than 1000 active male inhab- itants, the equivalent of at least 2,000 men, women and children as census reports go. In municipal organiza- tions certain cooperative plants are vital to efficient and economic up- keep. There are a dozen such plants aboard a man-of-war.
 First in importance comes electric power and light. There are two fully equipped dynamo rooms, one forward and one aft. each independent of the other. Individually they are capable of supplying the ship in case a torpe- do demo!ishes one end. Ten huge turbo-generators supply hundreds of thousands of kilowatts to cranes and winches, motors, searchlights, wireless, and the 15,000 incandescent lamps. Two complete distribution rooms feed the enormous power to it's million ter minals.
 modern battleship is two city blocks long and third wide. Many hundreds of compartments as in vast dwelling place or factory must be connected by telephone. There is a complete system, with central, boards, lines and operators, just as in any clCy-exCepC that every line runs through protecting armor pipe or be- hind armor plate. Communication in time of battle is as important to the ship as a mans nervous system Is to g. prizefighter; which unless it reacts in- stantly and accurately, abandon him to the blows of his enemy. There are IA different lines for ordinary con- versation, for battle orders, for range transmission, etc., and more than 500 stations.
 Sailors have a daily paper and a monthly magazine edited and pub lished aboard An enormous volume of paper work goes with the admin istration .of this town of 1000 and property valued at s10,00O, ,000-the price of the ship.

HELP OUR NAVY.

Every person who buys Liberty Loan bond makes an investment in the navy. The nation depends upon the navy to guard it's coasts, prevent Invasion protect it's commerce, tram sport its armies, and combat the Ger man submarines that are engaged in lawless warfare against every vessel that sails the seas. Americans demand great navy. They know that it is worth far more than it costs and they must be provided through the Liberty Loans, and those who cannot serve on our battleships or transports, those who cannot go to the front in France can make their dollars fight for them. Tn the last fourteen months Congress has appropriated s1,9O5, ,62O,919.70 for the navy. That is within $335, ,OOO, 900 of the total amount appropriated from the beginning of the new navy In 1883, up to August, 1918. Every dollar of this is needed to enable the navy to perform the tasks before it.
 The navy is expanding at a rate that would have been regarded as inn possible year ago. We are carrying out the greatest warship construction program in history, com uprising 787 vessels, including all of the various types, from superdreadnoughts to sub- marine chasers.
 There are now almost three times as many vessels In tho service of the

The New Haven Railroad.
(New Haven Journal-Courier) )

(NeW Haven J JOurnal-COurler)
 There are unmistakable signs that confidence is slowly but surely being restored in the New York, New Haven and Hartford Railroad Company. The stock continues to be sold way below par but the tendency is nevertheless upwards, which would not be the fact if the impression had not gained ground that a way of escape from its financial embarrassment has been found. That is all that is needed to put the company speedily on its feet.
 The needed relief will be at hand if the stockholders at the approaching annual meeting approve the plans of the directors and authorize preferred issue. That will instantly repair the credit of the company and make it as an investment more attractive to the public, and more than that it will give encouragement to every industrial in- terest throughout New England. We have never been able to understand the seeming indifference to the vel fare of this enormously rich property on the part of the producers of this section of the country. Their depend ence upon the railroad efficiently man. aged and safely run has been over looked and a reliance had apparently been placed upon some magical way of curing it of it's ailments. As mat ter of fact as we have asserted be- fore, the three states through which this railroad runs could well afford to become the banker for it to the extent of its short term notes. It would cost them nothing nor would they run any risk, but the vision is lacking
 The time has arrived anyway when the past should be permitted to bury it's dead. Whatever punishment the company deserved for past o1fenses. it has paid the penalty in full meas ure. Not only have new men come upon the scene but a new outlook

Close watch is being kept over ex- penditures. Every effort has been made to secure at the lowest possible prices everything the Navy buys and to see that it gets full value for every dollar expended. |.
 "The men of the Navy subscribed more than s3,00O,Oo0 to the first Lib- erty Loan," says Secretary Daniels, adding, "I hope they will join with the same enthusiasm in the Second Liberty Loan campaign, and that the men. who are willing to give their lives for their country will again prove an example to the millions who are asked merely to lend their dollars"
 If the men of the Navy can afford to subscribe sa,ooo,ooo to the Liberty Loan in addition to their sacrifice, life itself if necessary, surely the stay-at- home folk can stretch a point and buy the bonds. The sinking of one of our transports on the return voyage from Europe shows why we have to have a great Navy. There is but one way to help, and that is by purchasing bonds:
