The school teachers on the East side
In New York are finding some inter

farms have increased IS cent since i9ii and swine
by 2f per cent which is considerably more than the
rate Of increase in population. At present. the number
OF cattle in this country s believed in excess OF
660o0o0 head compared with 565O0O0O in 1914 and
of hogs over 100000 compared with 100000 four
years ago. This is a most significant showing.
"As an indication Of the enormous volume Of meat
products now being shipped abroad TO the Allies It
may be noted that for the first four months alone Of the
current the shipments OF beef bacon and ham have
been larger than the totals of the whole OF any previous
year. At the present rate OF shipments we shall have
exported to Europe nearly lOOOOOOOOO pounds of meat
products by the end Of 1918.
"The large packing concerns can claim only modest
share OF the credit for this splendid showing. Their
plant facilities were in good working shape when the
war began and the task of the pocker at no time has
been as difficult as that Of the livestock producer.
"In very real sense the American livestock raiser
Is helping TO win the war"
Those are interesting statements and well worthy Of
intelligent consideration Of meat consumers in all Sec

ing II unfortunate that the Macon Min

to end the amusement and recreation
available TO soldiers on Sunday and
appealed to the citizens OF Macon to
prevent the move. Doverites who at

and refereed football games between
the soldiers on Sunday, declaring that
be believed he was serving the Master
by keeping the soldiers away from more
harmful pastimes on the Sabbath. And
those shipyard workers are just as
truly soldiers OF Uncle Sam as the boys
who are garbed in khaki, and their
need OF innocent diversion on their "off
