THE UNDRRf TED ARMY

To the civilian American who feels a keen desire to be represented as ii rectly aB possible in his country's seIV. ice the Red Cross brings an appeal of peculiar force. For the Red Cross worker comes into the closest contact with the actual struggle that is posst ble to any save the soldier himself. On the heels of death and destruction he presses so closely in his mission of mercy as to be almost a part of the battle. His are the hands that first minister to the shattered body; ais the ears that hear the last faint mes sage of many parting soul Through the further help of these brothers and sisters of the Novitiate of Pain, life after lde is drawn back from the Dor derland; cleanliness and comfort and trained care lessen the anguish, or when death must be, makes easier the passing To our boys when they land on foreign soil the hand of greeting is held out; as they travel from place to place comforts are provided. The scared and broken remnant of a peo pie seourged by ruthless devastation the aged and the women and the piteously helpless children to whom our longing sympathy goes out, the Red Cross ministers to these in our stead
 In all this and measureless other service these workers are a vital and omnipresent force We who are left at home may work by proxy through them We can keep them there and send others, with our money, the least precious possession that men and women are being called on to give up. Our dollars can take us there in spirit and represent us in accomplishment The little red button is the badge of enlistment in the Army of the In. drafted; the outward symbol of the pledge to serve
 Won't you join the Red Cross d.ring the Christmas membership drive. which begins Dec IT? Or, bet. ter still, send in your S1 for member, ship now and then enlist as a solicitor for other memberships in the Christ mas drive. IL is your duty to do this, and it Is a God-given privilege
 Humanity Is calling, and if you are human you will respond Act now!

GOOD SCREENS CHEAPEST
Expert Says Copper Wire, Although More Costly, Will outlast Iron
 Many Times.

That 1t does not pay to use cheap iron screens on any building more valuable than a chicken house. is the opinion of Dr. J. D. Walters, profess sor of architecture and drawing in the Kansas State Agricultural college. Persons erecting new dwellings should equip them with screens that will last many years, he says.
 "An average two-story house con- tains upwards of two dozen openings that should be screened" said Doctor Walters The best screens are made of a strong white pine sash and a cop per wire screening. Another grade is made of fir lumber and screen ma terial made of q composition called white metal. The cheaper grades are made of yellow Southern pine and cova cred with common iron wire ScreenSg.
 "The first screen named is rather eX- pensive on account of the high price of copper, but it does not need to be painted, and should last 12 years. The iron wire screen, on the other hand, will rust out the first season and rare ly lasts more than two or three years.
 "A screen door should be made with a hardwood sash and should be pro- vided with the best kind of spring hinges and knob lock. There should be sufficient cross rails and cross braces In it to prevent sagging. The window screens are usually fastened at the top by cheap black vanished butts and are hooked at the bottom with a eheaD hash and StaDle"

Trade Development Profitable.

The competition of cities to secure Trade for their manufacturers, whole salers and jobbers is particularly keen. The development of package car serv- ice, the expediting of merchandise, the extension of trade territory through cooperative effort in shipments and the covering of districts, the quick ad- justment of claims, the generating of enthusiasm for certain communities as trade centers-this work is vigor- ously and consistently carried on by chambers of commerce, with field sec retaries, trade magazines and trade trips, and the money spent in this work returns a hundred fold in new accounts and increased orders.

A Common Error.

One of the most common errors, no- ticeable in gardens, is overplanting with trees of ultimate large size and spread. This evil can seldom be rem edied except by removal of some of the lot and this job is too often left until some or all are out of shape, crippled or under-developed in parts, so that several years are necessary for grads ual resumption of normal form and outline. Leave lawns as open spaces and plant trees only as border growths and then, if in after years the latter grow together the effect still is not bad, often is good, and the open glade of lawn is still inyiolate.

Pretty Exterior Finish Effects.

Beveled siding, shingles and brick are used to finish the exterior of many houses now. The combination of these materials does not produce a patch finish, but they harmonize beautifully. The brick are used in the foundation walls from grade to the sills, and in the porch railing wall.
 The sides of the house are finished with beveled siding up to the second floor, and with shingles the rest of the way to the roof. If the shingles are stained some fairly dark tint and the beveled siding is painted some light color or white, with the window sash dark, the effect produced is very pleasing.

WILL TRAIN CITY MANAGERS
Kansas State University Establishes Course Which Is First of the
 Kind in This Country.

Kansas is preparing to establish in it's state university four-year course in city management, the first of it's kind to be established in the country. When a man, or woman either, is graduated from this course he will have had thorough training in every department of city affairs except poli- tics, and will go out to help run cities as a trained man goes into factory or business. Prof. F. w. Blackmar, who is head of the economies depart ment and has been instructed to pre- pare the details of the course, had this to say concerning the need for such

Retail Interests Benefited.

Through chamber of commerce work the retail interests in a community are brought together to work together for improvement in local methods of mer- chandising, for investigation and elimination of "fy-by-night" concerns and fraudulent advertisers. Credit bu- reaus are often maintained, and truth full advertising is q thing insisted upon. Universal trading conditions To- cally are considered and worked out, not only for the protection of the re- tail stores, but for the protection of the customer.

KEEP NOPE BROOD
 SON5 hND GILTS
These Are Some of the Recommends tIons Made By ]. Fl. Mcleod, Se-
 nior Live Stock Specialist.

Breed your best sows and gilts to the best boar available. Consider your feed supply and raise hogs cheaper by combining forage crops with corn" These are some of the recommendations made by J. H. Me Leod, Senior Live Stock Specialist with the Agricultural Extension Di- vision of the University of Ark ansas, under whose direction campaign is now being put on in the state for the purpose of increasing the number of hogs to relieve the red meat shortage which is confronting us In discussing the situation. MT. Mcleod says:
 There is E per cent shortage Of hogs. Th!s shortage has been brought about by decreased production In the United States and an increased demand by our Allies. September 1. 1917, this number had decreased to 60.21S,0 ,000, showing a shortage of B. 427,000 head over the previous year. This shortage must be made up, and Arkansas has been asked to do her part by increasing her production of pork by 20 per cent. Last year we had 1,575,000 hogs in our state, this means that the number must be in creased by 300,000 head
 We Can Do This in Arkansas.
 Our corn crop is excellent, being 4S per cent (21,585000) bushels great CT than it was last year. In addition the soil and climate make it possible 10 grow a great variety of forage crops, and forage crops furnish the very cheapest hog feeds; consequent ly, do not plan to produce pork with out the use of some of the common grazing crops like oats, wheat, rye. rape. soybeans, cowpeas. etc. In making farm plans for the coming year leave sufficient ground to plant some of these grazing crops for the hogs.
 1t Is a Safe Proposition.
 The United States Food Administra- tion is behind the movement for greater production, and guarantees that the producer can at all times count on fair price for his hogs, so that it will be profitable to him: to limit the profit of the packer and the middleman, and to eliminate speeula- ton.

school:
 "No man can manage business url- less he has a thorough understanding of it's nature. The man who manages n city ought to be as experienced as an engineer. or a teacher. Why can not universities train men for manag- ing cities as well as it can for other professions? That is what we propose 10 do. The course of study for train ing city managers should be about one half the ordinary classroom and lee ture work and the rest laboratory in yestigation into the actual needs of municipal operation"

year, his selection should begin at once. This may be done by holding back larger number of the best gilts from the winter and spring sales. or by buying additional females. The demand for gilts and sows will be so great this winter and spring that ev- eryone cannot expect to buy the pure hreds or even the best of grades Look for the sows with strong backs, deep and lengthy sides and good chest development In order to bring the largest number of pigs SOW must have length and depth of body, and to bring strong, healthy pigs and pro duce sufficient milk for their devel- opment she must have a good consti- tution In selecting and buying breeding stock, first look at the hogs the neighbors have for sale This will not only afford an opportunity to see the conformation of the hogs, but will also enable one to select the most prolific breeders and heaviest

Water.

Plenty of pure water is one essen tial often neglected in raising hogs. Many people still think the stagnant pool or other filthy water is good enough for the hog, but as matter of fact, the hog is an animal that not only appreciates clean water to drink but will also pay dividend upon the time and investment necessary to make the clean water available. A sow that has this advantage always gains faster in weight and is more thrifty than one compelled to drink from the stagnant pool.
 Shelter.
 A SOW does not require an expensive shelter but she should have a shelter in dry place that keeps off the rain and gives protection from the cold north wind. A shelter affording these meagre requirements can be built very eheapiy.
 Protect Hogs From Disease.
 More than 154,000 head of hogs died in Arkansas during the past year, and 90 per cent Of these animals died of cholera. It will pay to protect your animals from cholera, lice and worms the worst enemies of the hog Con snis your county agent or write to pr. R. M Cow, Old State House, Lit tie Rock, Ark.

Feedinq the Brood Sow.

Although there is larger quantity Of corn on hand this year than usual, one should avoid feeding the SOW ex- clusiyely on this feed Not only is the number of pigs produced by the SOW affected by the ration, but also the strength of the pigs. All rations fed should have protein feed (such as shorts, bran, milk. alfalfa hay, clo- yer hay, cowpea hay. soybean hay, and green forage crops when they are ayailable), which is muscle building, In connection with the corn. which is fat producing. Unless this is done a large percentage of the offspring will be lighter and weaker.

COOLEST PLACE IN
REFRIGERATOR
NOT CLOSEST TO ICE

s Many housewives have learned
from sad experience in loss of per-
ishable foods that next to the ice is
not the coolest place in the home
refrigerator. To the housewife who
has not had this experience the Food
Administration gives this advice:
"Many put their butter and milk
Immediately next to the ice because
they think this is the coolest place,
but, as a matter of fact, the coolest
place is at the bottom of the refrig-
orator. Hot air rises, and air that is
not constantly being purified by cir
culation around the blocks of ice
soon are unfit to come in contact
with the food. When the warm air
in the refrigerator rises it carries
with it impurities and moisture which
are absorbed from the surface of the
food, and which if allowed to remain
in the air spoil the food, The air
which is warmed by passing over the
food comes in contact with the ice
where the moisture is condensed up
on the surface and the impurities are
carried off by the melting ice. The
air is thus dried, cooled, and purified
The cooler air Immediately descends
to gather UP more moisture and i'm
purities and thus the process is re-
peated continually.
ct is advisable to allow heated food
to cool off before placing it in the
refrigerator. If put in when warn
il; raises the temperature Of the re.
frigerator higher than it should e
and melts the ice unnecessarily. The
trapdoor through which the meltag,
passes out at the bottom of the re
frigeratorshould be kept in place, be
cause if it is broken or lost con
slant stream of warm air is allowed
to flow into the refrigerator

Forces, for rescuing from drowning
Assistant Lighthouse Keeper Austin
Foss on June 16.
Hopper and Kans saw an overturn-
ed boat offshore with a man clinging
to it, fastening themselves to gether,
with a heavy line, they waded out to
a ledge. A heavy surf was breaking
on them, but they swan to another
ledge farther out, which was partly
under water but closer to Foss. From
this point they heaved line to Foss,
who had sufficient strength to make
1t fast By this means they dragged
him to the ledge, on which they had
a footing but the surf was soon rough
for them to attempt the return trip
with Foss.
Help had been summoned in the
mean time. and the scout patrol boat
Paline, commanded by Allen, went to
the rescue of the three men. The
heavy surf made it impossible for the
vessel to approach near the ledge, to
which the seamen were cHnging with
the exhausted lighthouse keeper. AL
len picked up the keepers overturned
boat, rightd it, and sculled to the
ledge, rescuing the imperiled men.
