NOW IN Big BUSINESS
Uncle Sam Is Biggest Factor In
World Affairs.
This Country Is Main Operator" In
the Greatest Business
In History.

Uncle Sam and ''Blg Business" are
synonymous these days.
Since the war started, that is, since
the United States "enlisted" the
world has seen the pendulum of its
affairs, business and otherwise,
swing gradually toward the capital
Of the country.
The United States is the main
operator" In the biggest business deal
the world has ever seen-war. From
London the keyboard which handled
the war now has an extension run to
Washington, and America has entered
the market on a scale which In Wall
street parlance is decidedly "bullish."
Millions in gold, millions in men and
millions in supplies, ships and mu-
nitions are what America is throwing
Into the market. These millions must
be secured exactly rs any trust must
secure its capital.
The government has had to combine,
organize and grid itself the same way
corporation might on entering
fight to a finish with its fierce rivals.
The effect of all this has been to
transform the scene Of government
into one of business-big business.
AS an example of what one phase
of activity has meant, take the ship
building enterprise.
The United States has had to enter
the market first for steel and other
materials. Firms must be secured to
build the ships. Then the ships must
be fitted out when completed. One
detail of this alone again illustrates
the enormity of business. Each ship
must have refrigerating plants. Even
when the whole plan was still ain the
air" scores of experts in this line were
comforting or seeking conferences with
the idea of efficiently carrying out just
this one detail.
And the refrigerating plant Of a
ship is only one of hundreds of other
equally important parts. All Of this
has led to hundreds of the keenest
technical and business men Of the
country being calledin.
Shipbuilding is only one part Of the
country's business, however. Taking
every phase of the governments ac-
tivity since entering the war and COM
pairing it with the one item of ship
building, the layman can get some idea
as to just how much of "big busi-
ness corporation" Uncle Sam has or
ganized.

is planned and built for easy cleaning
and for ease and comfort in doing the
work.
On the north side of the hOghouse
it is advisable to build a long, narrow
dipping tank for the hogs. 1t should
be 1S inches wide at the top and 8
inches wide at the bottom, inside meas
urement. The tank should be 20 feet
long on the bottom, with a 10-foot ap-
proach at each end. The incline down
into the tank should be made smooth
and the one leading out Of the tank
should be corrugated.
The tank is made narrow for two
reasons: In the first place, less dip
ping fluid is needed for narrow tank,
and the second reason Is that when
hog gets started through tank as
narrow as this, 1t cannot turn around.
The length is about sufficient to give
the dipping fluid time to soak into the
hair and skin of the animal, while 1t
is swimming through. A depth of 2
feet is sufficient for the large hogs.
It is not filled full for the smaller
ones. The object is to have the fluid
deep enough to cover the hog all but
its nose and eyes. A portable fence,
made in panels, is placed outside of
the trough when in use. After dip
ping, the portable fence panels are fit
led over against the lane fence and
are wired fast to hold them upright
until needed again.
To protect hogs from vermin in the
summer time, the cheapest and most
convenient arrangement is hog wal
low. Where a good many hogs are
kept, a number of wallOws are neces-
sary. These are made of concrete by
first digging a pit about foot deep.
The concrete floor is made in the bot
tom of this pit by pounding down
stones and filling in between them
with concrete grout mortar Then the

Is printed without comment. Only the
people In London can vouch for the
truth of il. One of the bitterest esti-
mates of the bombing was written by
Hall Caine:
81 think of what war was in the
days when, with all its brutalities, 1t
had the virtue of courage and the
splendOr of bravery" he wrote. II
remember the battles recorded in the
old Morse sagas when it was only
glorious to fight man who could fight
back, when it was a disgrace to take
ones adversary unawareS, and an
everlasting shame to attack the weak,
the disabled, or the unarmed.
"And then l think of these young
German airmen, hiding behind the
Clouds until they come upon the
enemy unprepared, striking him with
an arm that can be long or short,
according to conditions Of their own
safety, and then sailing off in the COM
paratlve security of the illimtable
sky.
"War? 1t is manslaughter and MUIR
der. Brave men? In the category of
soldiers the creatures who cOndescend !
to such methods of assault ought only
to be classed among the bullies and
cOwards."
The papers were filled with articles
demanding an improvement in the air
defense. In the successful raid-if it
can be called a success-the enemy
escaped with slight loss. 1t is esti-
mated that there were twenty-five at
tacking planes. The English say that
four of the raiders were downed, while
admitting the loss of one of their own
craft The government, however, de-
MES that the English airmen deserve
the abuse that was theirs after the
raid.

Later on, say two weeks before ship

Such complete hog department as
this requires number of small pOrta-

Sanitary hog raising plans should be
carried out all through the different
seasons. Winter pasture as well as
spring, fall and summer pasture
should be provided in different fields

The portable houses may be by 8
feet simply made, with shed roofs.
They may be hauled away and placed
in any field for the accommodation of

sleeping quarters for the older pigs

BIGGEST CHECK is PAID
Was for $2oo,ooo,ooO and Was First
Loan of United States to
Great Britain.

The largest check ever issued in the
world has been returned to the United
States treasury, paid and Cancelled.
The check was for $200,000000, was
signed by Secretary of the Treasury
McAdoo, and represented the first
payment on the loan of the United
States to Great Britain.
Other large checks which have been
signed by Secretary McAdoo within
the last six months are one for $780,
100000 to France and one for $100,000,-
600 to Italy. Numerous other smaller
checks ranging from $1,O00,0O0 to $751;
100000 have been signed as loans to
allies.
Previous to January, 1917, the
largest check that had ever been
signed by secretary Of the treasury
of the United States was one for $40,-
100000 in payment for the rights of
the French Panama Canal company.
The next largest was for $25,000000
in payment for the Danish West In
dies.

The war college division of the gen.

for positions OF interpreters have been
so numerous that the war depart

can be readily met by the list on

spirit in which it's appeal for such
assistance has been met, but desires
to advise that it is not worth the
while of individuals desiring such po-
sitions to make further applications
for the time being.

Many a quarrel would come to a

afraid of being the first to make ad-
vances. Instead of being unwilling to
take the first step, you should be glad
of the chance. Some of you perhaps,

It is asserted in England that the
raids have done no military damage.
Hall Caine writes that in tour of
the city following the raid he saw no
property damage that could not be re-
paired by the mason, the street paver
and the glazier within six days.
Materially, the raid was contemplate.
London has seven hundred square
miles of territory. Miles and miles of
streets were untouched. London stands
where it always did. BY the slaughter
of a comparatively few civilians the
Germans have succeeded only in piline
up a heritage of hate for the future.
London has seen women and children
crushed and blown to bits and mangled
bodies in the streets. The memory will
linger with English men and English
women. 1t is not we'll to have

A PEOPLES WAR

"The great fact that stands

this is a peoples war, war for
freedom and justice and self
government amongst all the ma

break through all these hypOc-

Increase in Imports.

The increase in the value Of i'm
ports into the United States during the
fiscal year 1917 is attributed in large
part to increased receipts Of noncom-
petitive raw materials and foods, in
a statement issued by the bureau Of
foreign and domestic commerce. The
total value of imports during the year
ended June 80, 1917, is placed at ST.
659,355, 1876, as compared with $2,198,-
100000 in 1915; 81, 1874, 100000 in 1915,

duced, according to the Popular Me-

suited for the person who receives
many important toll calls, since in ad-
