BOY IS NOW MAKING GOOD
Seems to Be More Afraid OF Brother
Than Of Germans and II Is Pre-

Fighting Man.

Camp Wadsworth, Spartanburg, s.
C.-Among the Maryland draft men
sent here some weeks ago was a chap
from Baltimore who claimed exemp-
ton from military service on the
ground that he was conscientious OBJ
jector of war. His name will not be
made public, for II has developed that
he belongs to good family. He was
placed In the casual detachment for OBJ
servation, and the machinery of the in
telligence department was put to work
to learn something as to his antece-
dents.
A few days later a tall, grim-look-
ing man appeared in camp and asked
where the conscientious objector could
he found. He was directed to the
casual detachment, and there intro
duced himself to the commanding Of
fcer as brother of the soldier In
question and asked permission to have
a talk with him. The permission was
granted, and he went to his brothers
quarters. Part of the conversation
vas overheard. and those who heard
It say II was heated, although one
sided.
Brother Said Something.
"You yellow cur" exclaimed the
visiting brother 1--WE are all ashamed
of you at home, but you are going to
do a mans part in this war. Mother
told me to come down here and make
you withdraw that fool conscientious
director claim, and If you don't do 1t
am going to beat you TO death right
here in this camp. What possessed
you anyway" There was good deal
more of the same kind.
At the end of about an hour the
two brothers went before Major Coffin.
the personnel officer. Major" said
the visitor my brother wants to
withdraw the affidavit about being a
conscientious objector. Can he do
it?'
well" replied Major Coffin. at
must be voluntary act on his part"
Ana, turning to the soldier. who had
made the claim. he asked: do you
want to do this voluntarily. Is IT of
your own free will?
The soldier moistened his lips and
glanced at his brother, and replied:
yes, sir. it is of my own free will,
and l want to withdraw it,"
Is Now Making Good
Major Coffin found the affidavit and
tore ii up. and then issued an order
transferring the soldier to an active
regiment. and the soldier left.
After he had gone the visitor turned
to Major Coffin and said: Major |
thank you. had determined there
would be no yellow ours in my family,
and If that hoy hadn't Withdrawn that
affidavit I would have beaten him un
right here. But Tn glad he did 1t Of

The soldier who thought he was a
conscientious objector has been max
ing good ever since the visit of his
brother. He seems. in fact, to he more
afraid of his brother than of the Ger
mans, and those who have been watch
ing him are of the opinion that he will
make as good fighting man as
any when the time comes to go over
the top.

MEASURE IS UP TO GOVERNOR
SENATE CONCURS IN ANTI.
SHIPPING AMENDMENTS

The Senate concurred in the House
amendments to the Taylor anti-ship-
ping bill and passed the measure, 81
to 3, Senators Huffaker, Perry and
Rayburn voting against it. 1t now
goes to Governor Stanley for his sig
nature. 1t is a bone dry" law. The
amendments which the Senate con-
Cured in provide that liquor may be
shipped into dry territory for sacra-
mental purposes, and give distiller
in dry territory the right to ship in
toxicating liquors into wet territory
over a common carrier.
When the House reported to the
Senate that it had receded from its
action adopting the Waggoner per
sonal use" clause amendment, and
asking the Senate to concur in the
other amendments, Senator Glenn
proposed that this be done, saying
that he had always resented the
charge that temperance and prohibit
ton people were fanatics trying to in
/. terfere with the personal rights and
liberties of people.
Senator Perry, of Louisville,
thought the provision permitting the
shipping of drugs containing alcohol
to licensed druggists was too narrow,
Senator Num- inquired If the Sena-
tor from Louisville had found the bed
too narrow already.
Permanent support was given the
University of Kentucky, the Eastern
Normal School and the Western Nor
NAL School, when the Senate passed
the bill of Representative Arch l..
Hamilton, of Fayette county, which in
effect makes a redistribution Of the
forty-cent state tax and places the
three institutions in the general tax of
40 cents on the 800. Not vote was
cast against the bill, and not one
amendment added, that being an en-
Urgency clause.
The bill which provided for tax levy
of 40 cents on the 800 for state pur-
poses distributes the levy, Is cents for
the generau expenditure fund, Is

heavy feed to some extent, probably
about half, for the length of time. The
narrowing house or pen should be
comfortably warm, we'll ventilated,
and well lighted. Above all else, it
should be well bedded. Do not allow
any circulation of air under the floor,
Too many hog growers make the mis-
take of bedding too lightly. Heavy
bedding naturally makes the SOW COM
Portable and warm-conditons neces-
sary if she is to be quiet. Use wheat
or rye straw Wild hay is good, as is
millet Do not use oat straw unless
there is absolutely nothing else at
hand
Under no circumstances should the
sow have any feed whatever for TWEEN
ty-four hours after narrowing. She
must, however, have plenty of water
at frequent intervals This water
must not be icy cOld-that drawn di-
rectly from the well is about the right
temperature. Commence after twen-
ty-four hours feeding lightly, increas-
ing the feed gradually for probably
week or ten days, when she may be
gotten onto full feed, conditioned on
the size Of the litter and the milking
qualities of the SOW
Look Over Pigs Before Each Feeding
A good herdman, for the first week
at least after narrowing, will look the
pigs over carefully before each feed
ing If any indications of scours APP
pear, the sow's feed should be reduced
Immediately or possibly cut out en-
tirely. A heavy feed of rich slop
given when scours begin to show up
possibly may kill the entire litter. A
little extra care for these few days
is absolutely necessary.
When the pigs are from four to
five to ten days old, be on the look
out for thumps. The best looking fat
little pig is the one to go first every
time. An almost certain indication is
little roll of fat around the neck.
While there is no known cure for
thumps, the trouble in quite easily
prevented. Plenty of exercise for the
pigs is the answer. In cold stormy
weather out-of-door exercise Is impos-
sible, but II central narrowing house
with an alleway, is used, get the lit
tle fat fellows into the alley and put
in about ten or fifteen minutes three
or four times day chasing them with
buggy whip, until they are pretty
we'll tired out. II this is impossible,
try putting one or two of the little
pigs at a time in a large barrel or
hogshead, placed by the narrowing
pen. The pigs will hear the old SOW
making fuss and in running around
the barrel hunting for a corner to
climb out, generally will take the ex-
ertise necessary to ward on thumps.
A considerable part Of the battle is
won II the litter gets past the first
ten days or SO with a good start.
