between the weaving and breeding pc
RODS. Intelligent feeding will bring
the SOW from a thin condition into a
good, strong, vigorous condition in n
short time. When this is done she
will be in proper condition to assume
her duty when breeding time arrives.
If the SOW is bred in a thin, rundown
condition, she must resume work i'm
mediately, and she will naturally be
weak and subject to the inroaGs of
disease. A little cold contracted in this
condition may cause death, while a
strong healthy SOW will resist such at
tacks. 1t is the general belief that
sOws in good vigorous breeding cOndi-
ton conceive more readily, thus short
ening the narrowing period for the
herd.
Two Litters a Year.
There is no good reason why a sow
should not produce two filters a year
when properly handled. To accomplish
this the SOW should be bred TO farrOw,
say, for example, in march, and bred
again to farrow the early part of Sep
TENDER. A sow bred about November
10 will farrow about March 9 to o. The
pigs should nurse eight weeks. The
sow should be rebred by May 20 so as
to farrow on or after September 8. The
pigs could then nurse until November
8. The chances for proatably rearing
two crops of pigs from a SOW annually
are undoubtedly far better in regions
| Of mild climate and short winters than
where the winters are long and severe.
Management During Pregnancy.
During pregnancy two facts must be
borne in mind. The first is that the
sow is doing double duty. Not only is
she keeping up her own bodily func-
lions, but the development Of the litter

PRESIDENT GIVES ENDORSEMENT ID WOMAN SUFFRAGE Tells Delegation from New York He Wants Quetsi0n Settled by States of
 Union

Washington, October 25. President Wilson today gave full indorsement to woman suf- frage as an immediate issue in every state.
 Addressing a delegation of 100 lead CTS of the New York state woman suf frage party who called at the White House to obtain an expression in sup port of the campaign in that state, the President, in emphatic terms, declared chat woman suffrage is one of the fundamental questions of democracy whose proper settlement is demanded
 by the issues of the war.
 He praised the spirit, capacity and vision of American women in the war q believe" he said. that just be- cause we are quickened by the ques tions of this war, we ought to be quickened to give this question of wom- m suffrage our immediate considera tion.''
 SPEAKS FOR HIMSELF Speaking as lone of the spokesmen of a great party the President pledged his hearty support. and added
 1T want to speak for myself and say
 that 1t seems to me that this is the time for the states of this union to
 take this action.
 Explaining his leaning toward suf-
 frage as . state rather than national tissue, he said: T perhaps may be
 touched little too much by the tra- ditions of our politics--traditions which
 lay such questions almost entirely upon
 the states, but want to see communi- ties declare themselves quickened at
 this time and show the consequences Of the quickening."
 PRESIDENTS ADDRESS The address. delivered in the east room of the White House. in response to remarks by Mrs. Norman De R. Whitehouse. was as follows:
 Ut is with great pleasure that I re- ceive you. esteem 1t 8 privilege to do so know the difficulties which you have been working under in New York state so clearly set forth by Mrs. White house. but in my judgment those diffi- cuities cannot be used as an excuse by the leaders of any party or by the voters of any party for neglecting the ques- ticns which you are pressing upon them. Because, after all, the whole world now Is witnessing q struggle between two ideals of government It Is struggle which goes deeper and touches more of the foundations Of the organized life Of men than any struggle that has ever taken place before, and no settlement sof the questions that lie on theSsurface can satisfy situation which requires that the questions which lie underneaths and at the foundation should also be set4'"'l land settled right. nm free to say that | | think the question of woman suffrage is one of those questions which lie at lthe foundation.

 FOR FIRST TIME
Berlin Now Thinks Great War Will Be Decided on This Very Short
 Front

Washington, October 26.-The against the Italian front, now in full swing. was fully expected by General Cadorna. For several weeks past General Cadorna has been placing his army in readiness and selecting with great care prop- CT defensive positions for the Ital- ian troops. official cablegrams re- ceived here today declare that in addition to the heavy reinforce ments which the Austrians have received from troops withdrawn from the Russian front, many Ger man divisions have appeared on the long line from T0lmino to the Carso, so that there are now 20 full divisions with . great amount of artillery in the German trenches.
 Italian Headquarters recognize In this great enemy force . confirm ation of the reports that have been leaking out from Germany and Austria of the conclusion reached by the German general staff that the real issue of the war is to De fought out on the Isonso and TyrOl fronts. 1t was also learned that the German general staff has freely conceded the high strategy and military ability shown by the Italian commander In chief, Gem eraI Cadorna, in his choice of pO- sitions.
 Many days of extremely had weather. which flnally gave way to cold and clear, made possible the beginning of the Austro-Ger- man offensive. This was necessary. according to information received by Italian officials here, to en- courage the suffering and starv- ing population In the interior of Austria, which is thoroughly tired of the war nnd slisspirited by the long defensive cannpaign of the Austrianx.
 Todny'H reports state that In this drive German troops for the first time have appeared on the Itnl- ian front and . German airpiane, part of much German war material gathered 0n the Bainsinza plateau, was brought down yesterday with in the Italian lines.

 Washington, Octo Der 25. Liberty loan totals flashed past the $3,O00,00O,0OO mark today and headed for the $5,000,000,- 900 maximum with every indi- cation that by continuation of the relentless campaign the lat ter figure would be realized when the books close Saturday.
 Although unofficial estimates from the 12 federal reserve districts do not total the figure, officials tonight ex- pressed the conviction that subscrip- tions were past the s3,0Oo,000,o0o mark
 Victory for the second liberty loan is, in sight" Secretary McAdoo an nounced here tonight on his return from transcontinental tour in behalf of the loan, "but it has not yet been achieved"
 Compiled from estimates submitted by local committees and federal re- serve bank headquarters. the total un- official estimate of subscriptions, as announced tonight by the treasury. was ss,2oo, 100000. This sum Is re- garded by many officials as ultraeon- servative.

The chief gunner of the steamer opened fire at a range of 5000 yards but all the shots fell short.~ The submarine kert maneuvering to keep out of range of the steamers guns, at the same time main taining running fire, in an effort to disable them. The merchant ship after altering her course, started at full speed n an attempt to escape
 BATTLE WAS STUBBORN cated by the fact that the submarine fired 2S4 shots at the steamer, which re- sponded with more than 260 shots
 After the fight had continued for about two hours and several shots had struck the ship, wounding four men, one shell hit the vessel and exploded in the engine room, putting the engines out of commission and rendering the ship help less. The German commander then ap- preached nearer, and the submarine continued to rain shells upon the dis abled craft. A high sea was running at the time. and there seemed little hope of saving the ship. when low streak of black smoke was sighted on the hori- zon. It later proved to be an American torpedo boat destroyer which had heard the. steamers call for help. and coming at full tilt. run right into the sea, and at times nearly disappeared from view.

 While coming to the steamers assist ance, the destroyer kept sending assur- ing messages. such as: "Hold on,'' Stick, we are coming.s
 The steamers wireless apparatus, how ever, had been disahle soon after the fight began and the messages were never received. The submarine was apparently aware of the destroyer's presence. De- cause she submerged before the de- stroyer could get within range.
 The engineers had grea, difficulty n repairing the steamers engine and lu.- ing the night the destroyer anl the nlcrchantman lost each other. but finally the steamer made port in safety.

 Ships, wheat and hogs are the great needs emphasized by Hoover. He said deepest concern had been caused by the fact that in spite of high prices, this country's pork consump- ton had increased during the war un- til production had been outstripped; 8 situation that must be changed.
 "If we discontinue exports MT.
