RAISE A. LITTLE HARE IN
YOUR OWN BACK YARD

Washington, July 8.-Rabbits
which have proved a valuable source
of food in Europe during the present
war may we'll be raised more extern
sively in America by way of reducing
the drain on the ordinary meat supply
according to biologist of the United
States Department of Agriculture.
The business of growing rabbits, the
specialist points out, can be carried
on by youths and adults not engaged
in military or other national service,
or in regular industrial employment.
The animals may be raised in back
yards of cities and towns, as we'll as
on farms.
The Belgian hare, says statement
by the United States Department of
Agriculture, breeds rapidly, natures
quickly, and produces a palatable and
highly nutritious meat. The cost of
production is less than any other
meat, not excepting poultry.

a recurrence of such attempts, but al
SO to arrest the guilty party or par
ties. who, in their opinion, crawled
up to the barricade Monday night and
severed the strands of barbed wire.
The German prisoners have been
moved from the barricade where they
were first confined to a new varricade
a quarter of a mile from the main
buildings of the post, and it was the
barbed wire of this new barricade
which was cut.

SENATOR SMITH MADE
POWERFUL APPEAL

Atlanta, Ga, July 10.-When Presi-
dent Wilson's food control bill, which
is designed to put an end to specula-
ton IN food prices and at the same
time conserve the nations food sup
ply for the duration of the war. was
involved in maze of amendments in
the senate, and threatened with defeat
on account of the bone dry prohibition
amendment put into it by the House.
1T remained for United States Senator
Hoke Smith of Georgia to make the
plea which brought the bill out of
chaos and established the basis of
compromise on which it was finally
piioted through the dangerous shoals
of conflicting senatorial sentiment.
At the request of President Wilson,
as related by the dispatches from
Washington, Senator Smith made a
powerful appeal to senator's to lay
aside their own theories of legislation
and unite for the common good of the
country on prohibition amendment
which would harmonic divergent
views, and at the close of his speech
the senate reconsisederd its action in
passing the bone dry amendment, and
then adopted as a substitute the
amendment prohibiting the use of
foods, feeds and fruits in the manufac-
ture of whiskey. and authorizing the
president to purchase all whiskey now
held in bond.
Thus the passage of the bill was very
materially FASTENED, for the bone dry
amendment had started a debate that
threatened to last indefinitely, and the
country will very soon have the legis-
lation promised by Senator Smith, in
a recent interview in Atlanta, abso-
lutely putting an end to speculation
in food prices and protecting the peo-
pie from extortion and robbery.
