day in Philadelphia. Mr.. Anderson
says the people here apparently do not
realize how serious the war PROPOSE

being made to organize so that the

big idea is that this country does not
go to war unless in the right, and must

Of fodder grains which we can expect
to export in view of the present ship
ping outlook. we will find one as
.ounding fact which should give AM
erican farmers pause: We have to-
lay somewhere near the equivalent
Of l 900. 600 600 bushels Of feeds more
than last year. This is an increase
of nearly - per cent-for which we
have no corresponding number of an
imals to feed unless we begin to in
crease them at once. In other words
as our animals have not kept pace
with our increase in concentrates, we
have much more feed this year than
we have animals to eat il. Therefore,
If farmers are to find markets for feed
it must be to a great extent through
an increase in animals.
The monetary Interpretation Of this
situation must bt that we will have a
low range Of prices for feeding stuffs
and. in view Of the European situa-
ton and our own shortage in hogs,
we will have a high average price for
pork products. Therefore. it must

This situation is one that can be
partly solved by our suburban popu-

his care a pig and fed it on the house

supply and do SO without call upon
our general feeding stuffs. In Ger
many 1000, 600 hogs are supported
by these means. We need "keep-a-

Increased production in pork fats
can be accomplished with great deal
more rapidity than increased produc-
tiCn of dairy products and on a much
more widely extended scale. An in
crease in pork fats can also be made
more rapidly than an increase in veg
etable fats. 1t appears to me, there
fore, that we must concentrate on the
increase in the production of hogs if
we are to answer the worlds craving

during the coming year lends itself
to this end.

city owes his life to the fact that a
belt slipped off a wheel. He had a
narrow escape from a terrible death
when his coat became caught between
the chain and the big wheel OF the
machinery in a local elevator. He was
being drawn into the machinery when
he had presence OF mind enough to
grasp hold OF a beam and brace him
self the best he could. but neverthe.
less he was drawn In between the
chain and sprceket wheel until his
shoulder and arm we're squeezed in be
tween the two pieces OF machinery. At
this critical juncture. when his life
hung In the balance. the big drive
belt in the basement Of the elevator
slipped of the wheel. thus stopping
the machinery This saved his life.
for had the belt remained in place he
would have been literally cut to
pieces. AS II was he was badly bruised
and cut and his clothing was torn to
shreds.
