SOLDIERS ASSISTING FARMERS

Louisville, November THAT the
United States Army is acting definite
ly to relieve the shortage of agricul-
tural labor is shown by letter writ
ten recently by an officer stationed at
Fort Niagara, n. Y. An average Of
200 men a day were detailed to assist
farmers in harvesting the fruit crop
in the vicinity of Fort Niagara CEN
ter for the production of peaches and
apples. The soldiers were paid by the
farmer a wage equivalent to the av-
erage pay in normal times. An eX-
tract fro mthe letter follows:
Il have been kept pretty busy with
the work of furnishing soldier labor to
the farmers near the post to help
harvest the fruit crop. This is a great
peach and apple country. We sent out
on an average Of 200 men a day for
two weeks work now stopped by
quarantine). There is no question that
we saved at least sixteen percent. of
the fruit crop within radius of twen-
ty miles by our cooperation"

HOOVER'S MESSAGE ON FRENCH
CARDS

Louisville, November 4-Proof that
the Allied peoples look upon the Unit
ed States as their saviour from star
walton is shown by the fact that even
upon the bread cards of France there
is a message from the United States
Food Administrator. The Mnistere
De L'Agriculture EFT Du Ravitaille-
ment-corresponding to our Food Ad-
Enthusiastically asked the Unit
ed States Food Administrator for a
message which could be distributed to
the people of France, and this mes
sage now appears on the French bread
card.
Mr. Hoover's message reads: "Ev-
cry coupon in France is mute proof of
the resolution of the French people to
deprive themselves of everything to
one issue-the winning of this war. To
win now rests on the number of tons
of men and munitions that America
can ship in, and on the magnificent
French Army And with this daily
economy in food there will be enough
ships-and there will be enough food
to maintain health and strength

WEST VIRGINIA HOGS
NOW HAVE INFLUENZA
A Well Known Veterinarian In That
State Says the Disease is Pre-.
yalent Among Swine There.

Not to be outdone by human beings,
the hogs have adopted the latest fad
in sickness-the Spanish" flu. la
hits the swine in the same way as the
flu does in people, and pneumonia us
ually results. The symptoms are iden
teal.
That is what Dr. D. NJ. Phillips, vet
erinarian, of Twentieth street and
Third avenue, has found. There has
been an outbreak of some malady
among the hogs, and DR.. Phillips dis
covered that it was like influenza,
though as hogs do not usually have
influenza, there is no name for the
malady among them. Horses have in
fluenza, however, says DR.. Phillips,
but so far these animls have escaped
the Spanish" variety.
Many hogs have died of the strange
complaint, death usually resulting
from pneumonia, which followed the
supposed influenza. Whether the
swine contracted the disease from hui
mans Dr. Phillips would not under
take to conjecture. 1t is, however,
entirely possible that this is the case,
Many animals are susceptible to the
ills the human flesh is heir to. The
guinea pig, for instance, is used eX-
tenSiyely in the furtherance of science
because the little animal is highly sus-
ceptible to human ills.
If the hog has contracted influenza
from humans, the result may be that
medical men can devise a successful
vaccine serum, and again the lower
animals be made to serve man.

KILLED A KIDDY-WINK

Monday morning Mort Workman, of
the Chapel and Won neighborhood,
saw strange bird flying about 300
feet overhead, and procuring a pistol
he took shot at it, breaking a wing
and bringing it to the ground. The
bird was brought to town by J. J..
Rigg aud presented to the Tribune
Democrat museum, where it was view
ed by scores of people. No one knew
from whence it came. as it was a to-
tai stranger of the bird tribe in these
parts. 1t was taken to the office of
DR.. S. NJ. Clark by Master Gordon

thorities it was pronounced kiddy-

BOTTOMLESS PIT IS STOMACH OF
U. S. SOLDIERS

New York-Filling that bottomless
pit, the stomach of the A. f. F., is to
Miss Isabel Van der Slice, an Ameri-
can canteen worker, the most salts
flying job a woman was ever given to
do.
1T may sound primal" she confess
ed to the members of the Query club,
a woman's luncheon organization,
"but it's about as real as any work
that can be done for our fighting men
in France. They never get enough to
eat-bless their good old Yankee ap-
petites!-and simply pouring choco-
late, coffee and soup into these ever
gaping caverns is task we women
can do that makes us glad we are wo-
men,
A real concern for the apparent
hunger of American soldiers was ex-
perienced by canteen workers in the
first stages of the work with the A. E.
F., Miss Van der Slice said, but it
soon became understood that an
American soldier would always eat,
and that the canteens' job was merely
- approximate their appetites and
let it go at that"
The work of a canteener does not
stop at soldiers, however, according
to Miss Van der Slice. One runs the
gamut from poilus to pigs, she said,
through the intermediate stages of
feeding German prisoners and French
soldier culprits. A solitary and much
priced pig is attached to many can
teens to eat up the refuse.
The American eggnog has been in
troduced to French soldiers with such
success that Miss Van der Slice be-
came known as the "Eggnog Lady,
she said, though the poilus made
French drink of it by mixing it with
champagne.
"They like it so well they even mix
1t with tea and smack their lips over
the drink that they say has made
America famous!" she said.

New Draft Call VIII Take 29O,773
From Various States.

Washington, November - Draft
calls for the mobilization of 290,773
additional men at army training
camps before November 81 we're an
nounced by Provost Marshal General
Crowder. Between November IL and
10, it was announced, 253,335 white
men physically qualified for general
military service will entrain, making
the largest single call issued under
the selective service act.
The remainder of the November to-
tai, so far as announced, will be made
up of negroes, for entrainment No
vember 10 to 81.
With the assembling of the men
provided in these calls at camp, the
total number of men indicted into
military service under the draft will
have passed the 100000 mark, and
the number of men in the United
States army in the field or in train
ing will total more than 100000.
Men who registered September IL
under the act extending draft age lin
its will make up the largest proper
ton of the November mobilization, as
the eligible list remaining from prev
ious registration largely was exhaust
ed by the October calls. Though the
October calls were suspended because
OF the influenza epidemic, nearly all
have been reissued during the last
three weeks. In States where the calls
have been reissued, men called for
camp in October will leave with the
men called for this month. Calls for
additional men to entrain later this
month are in preparation, it was said
at the office of the Provost Marshal
General.
