ATLANTA BREAKS OUT WITH
HOG RAieING FEVER

Atlanta, March 30.-The raising OF
registered hogs in Fulton county bids
fair to become a leading industry
among the farmers as the result of a
very helpful plan of cooperation work
ed out by the Fulton county commits
sioners and the Fourth National Bank
of Atlanta, whereby the farmer who
lacks the ready cash to purchase pure
bred stock can borrow the money from
this bank to embark in the business.
Fulton county's farm demonstrating
agent, who has shown specially good
results in hog raising and other pro-
gresive work, will supervise the pur-
chase and handling Of the registered
hogs bought with money borrowed
from the Fourth National Bank, and
the farmers making such loans will
agree to use hog cholera serum when
ever necessary to prevent an epidemic.
Already the hog raising industry IN
Fulton county is we'll established, and
this new plan for aiding the farmers
OF limited means has launched a large
number Of new hog farms. With the
largest packing house in the state To-
Gated in Atlanta, it is believed that
the Industry is bound to succeed.

GERMAN POETRY IN ARMY
RANKS HERE WASN'T HAPPY

Atlanta, March 30-If Captain Geo
Steunenberg were still in the Seven
teenth Infantry, U. S. A. and back
with the regiment in their old post at
Fort Mcpherson in this city, his poet
ic talents would probably win him
more popularity than they did years
ago, for it will be recalled that one of
his poems is said to have violently Of
Tended the Kaiser, who was then sup
posed to be a friend Of the United
States. It ran like this:
Now he who seeks promotion must sub
si6t a solid year
On pretzels, cheese, winerwurst and
good old German beer;
And notify the colonels-sound the
warnings near and far
That they're, got to sing Die Wacht am
Rhein' before they get the star.
This was by way of poking fun at
American army officers for studying
German tactics, and it is said that
they nearly got him into serious com
plications with the War Department
in Washington.
But now that relations between the
United States and Germany have IN
dergone change, and Fort McPher-
son is filed with interned German
sailors, Captain Steunenberg is on the
retired list because Of Ill health, at
his own request.

1t is understood to be the presi-

The president personally feels,
1t is said, that the whole amend

Shortly after Martin and Gerry
left the White House, Senator
Lewis, Illinois, introduced bill
in the senate designed to be a SUBJ
stitute for the dry" amendment
to the food measure. II provides
for the prohibition of spirits pro-
duction or any intoxicant contain
ing more than 10 per cent alcohol.
A great sympathy for beer and
wine seems to have developed in
the nation. Literally thousands
of letter and kilograms to sena-
tors show preponderance for
pro-beer sentiment.
Tax Raisers Active.
Church organizations, however,
continue their active work for
complete prohibition.
There are few kind words for
distilled spirits.
United with the senate drys
favoring continuance of wine and
beer will be democrats and re-
publicans who have sweltered
over the war tax bill in commit

to raise revenue.
Most active of these are Sena-
