HOG PROBLEM INDEED GRAVE
Il Can Be Solved and War Needs Say
Il Must Be Solved.
(By Herbert Hoover.)

The pork problem is one not only
of the deepest concern, but as our
hogs lend themselves to rapid in.
crease, 1t is a matter for hope Of
rapid solution.
A mere glance at the prices of pork
products today is proof that we are
slaughtering, consuming at home and
exporting more pork products than
we are producing.
If we are to maintain our supplies to
the allies, we have only one of two
courses, or a combination Of both:
First, we must reduce our consump-
ton Of pork products to the prewar
normal or better; and, second, we
must increase our production. II we
discontinue exports, we will move the
German line from France to the At
lantic seaboard.
Pork products have an influence in
this present world situation wider
than one would ordinarily attribute to
them. The human body must have
a certain amount Of daily intake of
fat. Whether this fat is by means of
dairy products, by vegetable oil, or by
pork products becomes q secondary
question in time of complete national
stress, because pork products to some
degree win substitute for the other
fats.
Increased production in pork fats
can be accomplished with q great deal
more rapidly than increased produc-
ton Of dairy products and on q much
more widely extended scale. An In
crease In pork fats can also be made

On January II, Friday, at the county
seat will be held big mass meeting
in the interest of hog production. Ev-
ery patriotic citizen in the county Is
expected to attend.
The Government has asked Tennes-
see to do her share in increasing the
hogs in the State From Tennessee in
1918 is expected 100000 more hogs
than she produced in 1917.
What the Government asks we must
do to help win the war;
We can do it. Definite plans are be-
ing made by leaders in the work over
the. State. These plans will BIZ sug'
gested to the counties at he 'cass
meetings to be held on January IL.
No county will be asked to do more
than 1t can do, The number OF hogs
in the various counties for 1917 has
been ascertained and from this figure
the basis Of increase expected is being
made. Each county must produce 10
per cent more than last year.
Each county has County Food Ad-
ministrator. This official will be the
person to take the lead. Let every pa
triotic person offer assistance in this
effort hich means SO much at this
time when America expects every man
to do his duty.

CONGRESSMAN RUSSELL HAS
:, SLIGHT PARALYTIC STROKE

Suffering from a Slight attack of
paralysis, Representative Joe Russell
of Charleston, Mo-, was removed ear
ly to day from his room in the Con-
gress Hall Hotel to the Providence
Hospital. The attack was not severe.
1t is said he experienced a sensation
of numbness in his left side and lost
the use of his left arm and leg. There
was no sudden stroke as in paraly-
tic attack, but rather a sensation such
as is experienced when the leg has
"gone to sleep"
DR.. William P. Reeves, who attend
ed the pationt, attributed his condition
TO lack Of circulation in the effected
parts and nervous condition due to
overwork. Friends of Russell de-
clare he has been working exception
ally hard during the last few weeks.
1t was said at the hospital tonight
that Russell was resting comfortably
and was hopeful Of getting on his feet
again after a few days of rest and
quiet. Mrs. Russell is at his bedside.

DEFERRED CLASSIFICATION

Upon my arrival at the offices of the
District Board, in Poplar Bluff, last
Monday, found there number OF
Questionnaires Of registrants from
this county, who, had married since
May IS, 1917. ,rlt
These Questionnaires had been sent
to the District Board by the Govern
ment Appeal Agent, who had asked
the District Board to reconsider their
former action in giving deferred
classification to these registrants on
the grounds of dependency.
A few days prior to the converting
of the District Board meeting on the
18th, the Government promulgated a
new rule governing the classification
of registrants who married since the
enactment of the Selective Service
Law. AS ! understand the new rule,
it annuls all former rules for CLASH
flying such registrants and directs
that the Local Board shall proceed to
classify these registrants according
to the new rules, with this provision
however:
Nothing contained in this amend
ment to rule 5 shall be construed as
requiring the transfer of class 2 of
any registrant who has been finally
classified in class one on the affirma-
tive finding that his marriage since
May Is, 1917, was made with the pri-
mary view of evading military SER
vice.

EDUCATIONAL VALUE
OF LOW-COST ROADS

Every large manufacturing COM
pany in the country is spending more
or less money, according to the ma
ture of its business, in educational
work which does not yield any imme-
date return. 1t is usual to say that
this work is done to create market;
in other words, its purpose is to make
people desire things for which they
did not previously wish. In many
cases this educational work is of pub
lie service, in leading to the introduce
ton of sanitary conveniences in homes
or the use of labor-saving devices in
household tasks or Office work. Ex-
perience shows that familiarity with
desirable thing makes it popular
sooner or later; the familiarity may
come from a constant printed repeti-
ton of its advantages or personal &C.
quaintance with them. In any case
it is only the familiarity of the com.
munity with these advantages which
leads to the use of the thing in that
community as widely as its merits
warrant. 1t is this fact that makes
well-kept dirt and gravel roads the
best advance agents for more dura.
Bile highway construction. Such roads
must be properly graded and drained
to be successful, and even the grading
and draining are liberal education
to the mud-bound people of many
sections. The dragging Of the graded
roads is further enlightening to the
community, and covering them with
gravel demonstrates to it that a hare

RAISE MORE MONEY
r. TO DRAG THE ROADS

One of the cheapest and most eff
fective methods of improving the av-
erage country road in Missouri is to
drag the road after each rain. The
State pays SIS per mile per year on
more than eleven thousand miles of
inter-county seat roads. This is Of
ten not enough money to pay for drag
ging the road in proper manner, and
it is suggested by the State Highway
Department that local funds should be
subscribed to suppfant the money
made available by the State. Organ
ize a Road Drag Club; solicit SUBJ
scriptions, and make arrangements
with someone who 'will drag the road
after each rain. -
