WASTE IN HOLDING HOGS FOR
SHIPMENT

A loss of live weight of hogs and
waste of feed result from the prac-
tice of purchasing local hogs IN
small lots and holding them until
carload shipment is collected, ac-
cording to specialists of the u. 8.
Bureau of Markets. They point
out that at this and other seasons
when shipments are light, it often
takes local buyers four or five days
to assemble enough small lots for e
carload As facilities for feed aid
watering are inferior in small yards
the hogs make no further gains on
their feed and often suffer actual
loss of live weight. Local buyers
therefore, would do well to specify
a certain day for the delivery II
lots from the various farms and
load and ship without holding.
Farmers also could club together to
make up cooperative carload ship
ments on regular weeks days, thus
saving the margin lost in individual
small lot selling.

Americans Back On
Relief, Take Gasoline
Bath
Clean Now and Ready for
Another Co., More Trench
Feet Than Wounds

With the American army in
France, Nov. l-First battalions of
Americans in the trenches have
been relieved by others. Relief,
which is considered one of the crit
icai periods, when the enemy by
shelling the approaches to the posi-
tons may inflict heavy damage,
was accomplished successfully. APP
parently the enemy was noa aware
of what was going on.
With the men back in billets it
now is permitted to mention for
the first time that the casualties
were negligible. In fact, more men
are suffering with "trench feet"
than with wounds.
From a military standpoint the
experience gained by the Americans
is considered of very high value
in the training of contingents which
are yet to arrive on French soil.
1t was a tired, dirty, wet, mud
caked body of men that returned to
billets. These men had only two
clear days while in the trenches.
They were mud from their hats
to their shoes. Before anything
else they required bath, first with
gasoline and then water.
Today the sun was shining bright
ly and the returned soldiers spent
most of the time summing themselves
and their belongings. Some of the
fields in this section of France are
covered with blankets, parts of
uniforms and equipment. :. Clouds
of red dust arose in these places
when later the owners started to
brush. Tonight the returned bat
talions are clean and ready to go
back again.

ly conceivable that the enemy does
not know what he is sinking"
He regretted to say, however, that
he had not found it possible to ar
rive at any form of publication
which would not convey most valu-
able information to the enemy,
which he did not now possess, if in
formation were given in regular Sc
quence for specific periods.
II have studied from a variety of
sources, said the first lord, "the
statements made from time to time
by the enemy as to tonnage and po-
sition, and have come TO the definite
conclusion that not only does he
not know what is being sunk, but
that he would like very much in
deed to know what IS being sunk
month by month, or week
By week, or even exactly for a pc
riod."

Daniel F. Houston, secretary Of

control and intelligent action of
women in the present emergency
lend additional support to the ar
gument and should dispel any
doubts fair-minded men may have
entertained as to the wisdom OF
enfranchising women"
William G. McAdoo, secretary Of
the treasury: "The time has come
when suffrage should be given TO
the women Of America. 1t shorll
be given promptly; it should be Civ
en- ungrudgingly; it should be given
gladly. The owmen OF the United
States have in every way since the
war has broken out shown them
selves qualified for the right os suf-
frage."

lever in suffrage for women. There

fairs in which women-merely be-
cause they are women-are experts.
