NO FIELD MARSHAL
 FOR UNITED STATES

Washington, Oct. z4.-Commentin, Y on suggestions that the rank of field marshal be created for General Per shing as commander-in-ch of the American expeditionary forces, Sec retary Baker said today he was not disposed to propose the change. He indicates a feeling that the govern ment should preserve it's traditions of the service which make rank of gen eral the highest. if the expedition eventually consists ot several field armies each probably will be com manded by lieutenant-general, Sec retary Baker said the question of naming lieutenant generals was not now under consideration.

f, Indiana the other day to buy boar.

Indiana the other day to buy boar.
He did this. he SAID, because all the
red pigs by the Duroc Jersey boar
weighed at market time twenty-five
pounds more than the pigs by the
black boar. This at the present mar
ket price for hogs was clear profit
of $500 on each pig sired by his ped
igreed Duroc Jersey boar. What
would the profits have been on the
pigs from fifteen sows by this boar?
The increased profits on the bunch of
pigs by the pedigreed boar will pay
for the boar the first season. He
should get both spring and fall pigs
for many years. The farmer who
uses any kind of boar because he is
cheap is losing money on every pig
by him and this loss will more than
pay for a good boar in one crop of
pigs.
There is now shortage of one
hundred and fifteen million meat pro-
ducing animals in the yorld. Every
soldier in every country now at war
is getting all the meat he needs to
fight and as many of these men only
ate meat on rare occasions the in
creased consumption of meat is trem-
endous. The production of meat is
not only acute now, but in my opin-
ion very critical. The export Of meat
and lard is increasing rapidly, the hog
is the only animal that can relieve the
situation. Every farmer by the use
of pedigreed boar on every sow he
can possibly breed this fall will not
only be performing a great patriotic
duty, but in addition will be laying
the foundation to reap harvest out
of hogs next year.

The Hog Question
Why A Farmer Can Pay A Good
Price For A Pedigreed Boar.

High priced feeds demand a pedi-
greed animal the most efficient hog
to convert these raw materials into.
The pedigreed animal is one that has
been carefully selected for generations
through a known line of ancestry
possessing economical meat produc-
ticn. An animal inherits so per cent
from both sire and dam, 25 per cent
from his four grandfathers, and if no
record of them is kept, he is uncer-
tain as sire for nothing is known of
his ancestry. With the advancing
price in feed, farmers should be more
careful in the selection of animals to
consume them. For the sake Of eff
fciency kill the scrub sire.
By using a good pedigreed boar
every pig sired by him should be a
more economical pig. Adopting the
policy of getting high class sires
farmer in a few years would almost
have herd of pure bred sows. By
the use of pedigreed bulls in the west
the Texas steer with the long horns
requiring four years to reach the
market as cheap beef has now entirely
disappeared. In his place by the use
of good sires a good beef animal is
now marketed in two years demand
ing the highest price. Good pedi-
greed boars in Kentucky would i'm
prove our scrub hogs just as the good
bulls have improved the long horned
Texas cattle.
A farmer who raises nothing but
market hogs came all the way from

DIXIE IN THE SADDLE

THE South is Sinking all around. 1t
l has not furnished its share OF vol
unteers; has given least to the Red
Cross and subscribed less generously to
Liberty bonds; and now it is charged in
open Senate by both parties that the
census figures are being manipulated
to increase the draft percentage in the
North and decrease it in the South.
Thus, amazing as it may appear, the
population of Chicago and New York
has for this purpose been padded 2, 0OO,-
600 each, while that Of Kentucky and
Tennessee has been reduced 200, 900 !!
Detroit's draft population has been
jumped up nearly four times the last
census figures
The South demands that its cotton,
already up over 200 per cent, be left
free to soar; but clap the embargo on
the wheat of the North, and keep it
down!
But it is as pork barrel beneficiary,
the South stands pre- eminent these days.
1t is said that petty streams which
are almost dry some months of the
year, have received big appropriations
of Government funds; camps and naval
stations have been plentifully located
south of the Mason & Dixon line; and
generally, in all national offices and ap-
pointments, that section has been no.
toriously favored at the expense of the
North even to the absurd extent of
sending thousands of northern and
western volunteers in summer time
down into that hot climate to encamp !
Yes, plainly enough the South is in the
saddle.

THE GERMAN FERMENT

THE prospects of serious internal
l explosion within Germany are
rather increased now that "blut und
eisen" Won Hindenburg and the Crown
Prince have clapt the militaristic lid on
tight, bluntly snubbing the popular de-
mands for more democracy.
Rumors Of the Kaiser's abdication are
rife; the popular unrest is growing;
hunger and disappointment over the
failure of the under-sea boat and Rus
sian peace campaigns; a knowledge Of
the true situation more and more leak
ing out among the masses these things
all point-to Germany's coming collapse.
Again, the relations between Germany
and Austro. Hungary are daily becoming
more strained. Austria is firing Of her
ignoble role of the Kaiser's tool. The
criticisms in the Austrian parliament of
the Kaiser and his policies are almost
savage, the Czeches in plain language
even suggesting that Austria withdraw
and make her peace with the Entente.
Finally, the moral effect of Americas
actual participation in the war, increas-
ingly signalized on land and sea and in
the air. is depressing at the front
among the German soldiery. and even
yet more so at home among the people.
Therefore, it is reasonable to expect
at any time a sudden end from internal
pre- ssure of this frightful world war of
the crazy Kaiser's.
