FOR INCREASED MEAT SUPPLY

To stimulate quick increases in the meat supply, the United States De partment of Agriculture will extend throughout the country the pig clubs which have been operated in fifteen states, and the poultry clubs which have been operated in nine states. In addition to the 33 specialists in hog production and 39 specialists in poultry production who thus will be placed in the field at once, an ad- ditional specialist in hog production will be placed in each of the five principal hog raising states.
 Hogs and poultry have been singled out as the live stock on which special efforts will be concentrated in the campaign for increased meat pro- duction, because they give the quick

hog cholera and the cattle tick, with funds made available by the recently enacted food production bill Be- tween them hog cholera and cattle tick fever cause annual losses of ap- proximately S60,OO0,OOO. In an effort to stem these losses and, in effect, to increase meat production, the de- partment will put a greatly enlarged staff of specialists to work in the field within the next few weeks. Tick eradication, which is essential to building up cattle raising in sections of the south now infested by ticks, will be extended in all affected states. Twenty-fiev veterinarians will be ad- ded to the departments staff to carry on the work against hog cholera thoughout the hog-raising sections of the country.

Governor Pinkham was evidently
warmed by a remark that E. H. w

with private corporation.

such opening If no appreciable waste

THANKSGIVING PROCLAMATION

The president of the United
States having appointed Thurs
day, the twenty-ninth day of. this
month of November as a day of
national thanksgiving and prayer,
l recommend, that the people of
this territory join in the observ-
ance of that day in a profoundly
sincere manner. ~ T.
The. greatest gift of the people
of Hawaii has not been the extra
ordinary financial prosperity of
the year or their wonderful liber-
atty in Red Cross work and the
financial support of the national
government, but that the convic-
ton is gradually permeating the
body polite that true manhood
and true womanhood are the foun-
dations on which human society
in this territory rests and that
wealth or the pride of wealth
cannot buy the virtues that go to
make up a nation. <...... =
We cannot forecast the future
with a world so frightfully in
volved, but We cap thank AL
mighty God that we have in Ha-
waii such numbers Of all national
tiles eager to sacrifice, that the
nation may live true to the prin-
ciples on which it is founded.
Let us with deep appreciation
thank the National Guard of Ha-
waii, that they of all voluntary
organizations in the Union led in
time and relative numbers and
urge their desire for service may
be granted. @=
Pray not only for the spirit
but the strong arm of righteous
ness.
