field work has been elevated into a
science, and today dogs are of such
Importance in the armies of the al
lies that the demand is far greater
than the supply.
Like everything else in the great
world war the role of the dogs has
changed and developed in an extra
ordinary way. In the old days war
dogs were trained for two purposes
only-earrying aid TO the wounded
and accompanying patrols for the
purpose of scouting out the enemy.
Today the dogs in active war service
are divided into six classes: watch
dogs, patrol-dogs, messengers, am
bhlance-dogs, packdogs, and laison-
dogs. The most successful of thc
trainers declare that the female dogs
have shown themselves the best mes
sage carriers. They will take a note

REASON FOR INCREAS-
 ED PORK PRODUCTION
Grow More Hogs This Year. In- crease Your Profit. Help
 Nation Win War.

J. H. Mcleod, senior live stock specialist of University of Ar kansas Extension Division says,
 More meat is the cry of our nation and our associates in war. The food animals of our allies have decreased 33,000,000 since the war began and the United States must" supply the lack of meat in these countries. Pork is most in demand because 1t Ts the principal meat of the army and is most easily shipped long distances and is the most easily stored after reaching it's destina- tion.
 Pork is one of the best meats for the farmer to produce be- cause the hog increases faster than any other animal and mon- ey returns are made more quick ly.
 The hog has no rival as a con- sumer of the by-products of the farm and is the most efficient domestic animal in converting grain into meat.
 Grow more hogs this year, in- crease your profit and help your l.s.CiOn Win the war.
 In 1914 the exportation of pork amounted to 923,000,000 pounds and in 1917 to 1,502,00O,- 900 pounds"

The blaze spread rapidly to the Of
