FARMERS USING BAD JUDG-
 MENT IN SELLING HOGS
(By United Press.)

Columbia, Mo-, Nov. 23-That farm CTS are not using good judgment in selling unfinished hogs and breeding stock at present is the opinion of C. F.. lancey president of the Missouri livestock Producers Association. lancey stated shortage of pork is apparent A shortage exists not only m the available supply of live hogs but in the available supply of meats. Even the farmers have not enough cured meats for their own needs.
 The shortage has been brought aOout by the high prices and because the farmer has taken advantage of 'nose prices to convert his hogs into cash' He thinks, said Yancey, that ne cannot afford to take the chance of a drop in hog prices after he has fed mem high priced corn and other feed. iahcey believes that farmers should '' gwen a guarantee against loss.

uuo WILL LEAD CARDINALS?
 wuo GETS WALTER JOHNSON
ID, H. c. Hamilton, United Press Staff Correspondent)

Nav York, Nov. 21.-Speculation is no of the most futile things in the rorld sometimes. And one of the .,netmes undoubtedly holds good in tbo eases of a manager for the St. rouis National League baseball club, and the disposition of Walter Johnson.
 It's cinch somebody is going to be named to succeed Miller Huggins. It ;.n4 cinch at all that Walter John son is going to change his uniform be- fire the next season begins.
 However, in regard to the latter issue. it is generally conceded that an old adage holds tolerably good. Where tbere is so much smoke there must be .t least few coals, and the smoke is so thick around Walt you can hardly see him.
 A prominent baseball player summ- pd it up a few days ago with the statement that everS year something Of this kind takes place. The rumors sre handed out, the usual denials and bandying of opinion are pulled of, and then along about springtime it is an- rounced the deal goes through. Part of that already has held good. It has been announced that Walter had been sold to Cleveland, and then speedily denied It has been stated that Miller Huggins was trying to arrange a deal that would take Walter and his bat tery mate-Eddie Ainsmith to the Yankees. That also has been branded as untrue.
 Now it is stated, positively, in some quarters, that Walter has been sold to the Cleveland club, and that Ainsmith will go with him. The price is report ed to have been $75.000.
 In the case of a successor to Hug gins the dope has reached the con- cluson that Jack Miller and Jack Coombs have begun to fight it out for the honor of leading the Mound City club next year. IraThomas, the re- ports have it, is not only out of the race, but never has been given con- sideration
 Miller, so the story goes, is the Gkeliest candidate and probably will succeed.
 There the lane turns and leaves you gaSping for air. But, it's a cinch something is going to happen. Per haps the new manager of the Cardi- nals will be announced when the Ma tlonal Leaguers get together Dec. II for their annual powwow.

Moral Confusion Results.
g. The moral confusion resulting
from military drill is appalling to
thinking men. We send our boys to
Sunday school and teach them the
Golden Rule" and the commandment
Thou shalt not kill" They go to
church and learn that the supreme
thing in life is to love God and to
love their neighbors as themselves.
In their. daily lives they learn that
the laws Of the community and of the
state forbid them and others to carry
deadly weapons and that whoever at
tacks his fellowman with a deadly
weapon is put in jeopardy Of his free
dom or his life. Then in the face Of
ell these facts, we put the deadly
weapon into the hands of these boys
of tender years IA years and up
ward) and by compulsion deliberately
train them in the art of killing their
fellowmen. No choice, no freedom Of
conscience, only force and might.
Z. Since the compulsory military
training, as a part of national Pre-
paredness" is based on fear, suspi-
eion and distrust which almost invar-
iably lead to hate and from hate to
war it IS Of. necessity fundamentally
wrong. For such a system cannot be
in harmony with the religion which
teaches that first and above all else
comes love to God and love to fellow
men. .. ...
In military training the emphasis is
on might, not on right. Might is put
first, not last. If right and justice
and goodwill were placed first and
emphasized first, might would seldom
be needed.
Which, then, shall we teach, right
or might?
In whom shall we trust, God or gun.
powder?
And whom shall we follow, Christ
or Mars?

Per cent Of our wage earners do not
have an income sufficient to feed and
clothe themselves and families de-
Gently. These poorly fed men cannot
make good soldiers: nor can the null.
titude of sick men become goor soldi-
ers. In the U. S. each year we let
$4,000 persons die of 'the great
white plague" tuberculosis; $4,000
die of pneumonia; tens of thousands
die of typhoid and other fevers. and
we complacently allow over 100000
babies to die annually. Military drill
cannot remedy these shameful condi-
tions. The remedy must be far more
fundamental and scientific than mill
tary drill We need Col. Gorgas to
do for California, and the nation what
that worthy officer did at Panama,
and thus made it possible to dig the
canal. 1t cost S4.23 per head annual
ly to make the Panama Canal zone

And it costs $4,000 to $4,000 each to

Unless the U. S. institutes thorough
going campaigns to fight disease, to
promote health, to reduce the cost of
living. to solve the unemployment
problem. to decrease the list of ineffi-
clients, to drain swamps, to prevent
fires and floods, to irrigate arid lands.

France saved Paris and Verdun in the
present war;, she will in time become
a weak and decaying nation. All the
military drill in the world will not,
cannot save the United States if she
neglects these-the truly fundamental
things in national preparedness. .
5. Furthermore, compulsory mill
tary training or CONSUMPTION, so far
from being democratic as claimed, is
the very antithesis of democracy. 1t
is ever and always democracy's per-
sistent foe. Once established, it is
the rule of the few, not of the major
ity. There can be no such thing as
freedom of conscience under it, COM
pulsory military service is not only
un-democratic, but also un-American
and contrary to the very spirit of our
American institutions. Thousands,
