Pigskin Is Wanted.

Pigskin's value for number Of pur-
poses is well recognized. And 1t is
employed to limited extent, but not
as staple leather. Shoe manufac-
turCrs, however, are said to be seeking
ways to utilize 1t in their business, and
doubtless they would employ great
quantities OF it in place Of cowhide and
calfskin, but for its scarcity.
That swine could be made q pOten-
tial supply Of leather is indicated by
the United States department Of agri-
cultures estimate that there are up
wards Of 70.OOO.OOO Of these animals
on American farms today. Yet the
output Of pigskin leather Is negligible
Federal statistics show that at only
seven Of the principal stock yards Of
the country last year more than D.
100000 hogs were marketed. Yet all
of that pigskin was wasted.

songs and stories of the navy as long
as the great war Is talked about.
"Kclly" earned his name by his dis
play on various occasions of rich
vein of quite un-German humor. He
has become the hero of numberless sto-
rieS told in forecaStle and on quarter
deck. Not all Of these stories are true,
and probably most of them have grown
In the telling.
"Kelly" commands mine-laying o.
boat which pays frequent visits to the
district patrolled by the American de-
stroyers. When he has finished his
appointed task of distributing his
mines where they will do the most
harm he generally devotes few min
utes to a prank Of some kind. Some
times he contents himself with leaving
a note flying from buoy scrubbed In
schoolboy English and addressed to his
American enemy. On other occasions
he picks out deserted bit Of coast
line at night and goes ashore with a
squad Of his men for a saunter on the
beach. leaving behind placard or q
bit Of German bunting as reminder
Of his presence.
