SOLDIERS ADOPTED" BY Plo
Odd Mascot That History Records as
Attaching Itself to Company of
Kentucky Volunteers.

There is in the history of the state
of Kentucky an odd incident in con-
nection with the invasion of Canada
by the Kentucky troops in 1872. A
company of volunteers, destined for
Selby's army, assembled at Harrods-
burg and formed nucleus around
which the military recruits of the
country gathered on the march to the
Ohio.
On the outskirts of the town named,
so the story runs, the company saw
two pigs fighting and delayed the
march to watch the combat. When the
march recommended it was Observer
that the victorious pig was following
the company; and when the men en-
camped at night. the animal lay down
near at hand OF course the soldiers
fed their plump recruit. The next day
the pig followed them, and this it did
daily on the march to the river.

THE SPORT FISHES.

"Along the seashore," said Daddy,
was a row of very queer-looking 90
jects.
s'They were sportsfsh, not real, alive
fish, but sport fish, made out of rub
Der and covered with oil cloth. Their
faces were painted with eyes like the
fish have. They had painted fins anu
painted bodies. In fact they were very
gay in color and were all ready to go
in the water.
81 say remarked one sport fish,
painted mostly in red, what do you
think well do today?'
Have you never been here be-
fore?' asked the sport fish painted blue
and yellow.
Never said the red sport fish.
'Ah, you see said the blue and vel
low sport fish, we are blown UP like
tires of automobiles
"'Oh dear said the red sport fish,
when is that going to happen? I'd
hate to be blown up. It sounds quite
too awful for words. Quite too awful.
I'm dreadfully afraid. Oh, why did
you tell me this? Was it to warn me
that danger is near? Will it happen
today? When will it happen? Oh.
am SO frightenedp
Ny dear sport fish, calm yourself,
calm YOURSELF
"'It's an very well for you to talk
about calming myself. It's very fine
thing to be calm when another creature
is going to be blown up. Very fine in
deed
Tut if you think am looking for
ward to being blown up you're very
much mistaken, very much mistaken.
In fact am dreading it with every bit
of my queer-shaped body. 1t makes
me sad, it makes me mad!
You made rhyme there said the
blue and yellow sport fish, .and that
shows you're not SO unhappy. We don't
make rhymes when we are sad you
know
"T didn't mean to make rnyme,'
said the red sport fish. You shouldn't
tease me so. I didn't really and truly
mean to make that rhyme. 1t just
came out Of its own accord
"'Then,' said the blue and yellow
sport fish, i admire you all the more.

Army Makes Record Meat Purchase,

Army Makes Record Meat Purchase,
Chicago The largest single order
for bacon and canned meats in the
history of the world-99, 100000
pounds of bacon and 134OOO,00O pounds
Of canned meat--has just been placed
by the Quartermaster's Department,
q. S. A., for the American Army over
seas.
Louis F. Swift, in commenting on
this today, said the order will take
the bacon from approximately 1900
600 hogs, and If other work were
dropped to produce it, would be equiv
alent to the total bacon production OF
the five largest Chicago packers for
nearly five weeks. However, six months
will elapse before delivery is to be COM
pleted Mr.. Swift said:
AT the current prices on the day,
last week, when the purchase was
made, the packers would pay the live
stock producers about $80,0000O0 for
the necessary hogs and ove~ $500OO,OOO
for about 100000 cattle required. The
cattle will cost us twice as much, and
the hogs two and one-half times as
much as in the pre-War period.
The whole order will be made up be-
fore the first of the year, despite the
fact that, even before this purchase,
one-fourth of the packers facilities.
have been devoted to filling military
demands. In order to get out the
canned goods the packers will find it
necessary to employ night and day
shifts of Gamers. Notwithstanding
the fact that the products are being
rushed forward thus hurriedly, not a
single complaint has been received on
meats delivered to the armies abroad
The five packers are now killing
about 100000 hogs weekly to keep
abreast of martial and domestic needs

Your vital forces reach their
lowest level when the weather is
the hottest. Then the danger is
the greatest.
You can't guard your stomach
and bowels too carefully through
the long, hot season. Don't take
any chance. Indigestion, sour
stomach, that wretched, bloated
feeling, belching, food repeating,
pains that claw at stomach and
bowels and an endless train of
stomach ills that make life mis-
cradle are greatly aggravated in
the hot weather.

"What Fun 1t Is to Be a Sport Fish,

what Fun 1t Is to Be a Sport FISH"
You are a real poet. Rhymes jus!
drop from you, or fall from you
whichever you prefer
CT don't prefer either way said the
red fish, without thinking much just
what he was saying. I'm nervous,
that's all know
"sYou shouldn't be nervous when you
are such a poet said the blue and yel-
low sport fish.
81 don't care about being a poet
said the red sport fish.
"sThen you have no right to make
rhymes without thinking or even with
thinking. For you must be a poet if
you do that. And il you don't wish 10
be a poet it is particularly unfortu-
nate when / consider how quickly and
without even thought you can make
up a rhyme.
There are many, many poets VINO
sit before their desks, as you sit before
your desk, the ocean. They bite the
ends of their pens or pencils-you
can't do that because you haven't any
pens or pencils-and they talk about
a great idea which is coming to them
and they wait and wait for that idea.
And what do you think? The idea
doesn't come at ALL or when it does
come it's been such long time COM
ing that it's pretty well worn out when
it gets there. AND an idea for a poet
means rhyme. So you're a poet with
out any effort and that is very fne.'
TT won't do me any good If am
going to be blown up
"'You are already blown up
"I'1n blown up now, without know
ing it? asked the red sport fish.
"sOf course, said the blue and vel

Steel Plants
Now Working
At Top Speed
Government Requirements
Are Absorbing Total Out
put of One Large Mill

Operating conditions in the iron
and steel industry are steadily improv-
ing, and, according to "The Iron Age"
the leading producer in the Pittsburgh
district had Sc per cent of its rate
blast furnace capacity active last week
and SO per cent of it's Bessemer
and open-hcarth steel capacity. 1t
is predicted that the April production
Of both pig iron and steel will exceed
the excellent showing made in March.
Government requirements arc max
ing increased demands upon the pro-
duction Of the leading companies. The
Carnegie Steel Company, subsidiary
of the United States Steel Corpora
ton, is said to be giving war require
ments practically 100 per cent Of its
rolled product. At other Central West
crn plants rs to 90 per cent of the
shipments are on government account.
"Surprisingly little is heard of hard
ship to any metal working industry"
says the "Iron Age" because steel
mills are paying small attention to
ordinary trade. Stocks are playing a
part now that will be missed later.
But there is no doubt of the gradual
shrinkage of consumption in less es-
sential lines. Pleasure automobiles
are conspicuous example.
when the railroad administration
is satisfied as to the margin of pro-
fit it can safely allow the railroad
car orders will probably come out. 1t
is not unlikely that Canadian car
builders will participate and help make
up the loss of several weeks of car
production due to Washington's delays.
We're conditions normal, this sharing
of Government business with Cana
dian makers protected against Ameri-
can cars by high tariff wall would
call for more than passing notice.
"The barb wire needs of the Allies
have swelled to 10000 tons. Of which
10000 tons go to Italy. while $4,000
tons are now being distributed for
France. As vet the United States has
not entered the market For the next
four or five months more steel will
have to be diverted to the wire mills
than has lately been the case, and
general demand for wire products will
be harder to satisfy.
"Bolt and nut manufacturers have
been much in conference lately Of
100000 bolts wanted by the Gov
crnment to send abroad 25 per cent
will be shipped promptly from stock
and the remainder will be put in pro-
cess soon. About rs per cent of bolt
and nut and rivet capacity is just
now on war work"
The American Shipbuilding Company
has taken contract to build sixty
six vessels of Welland Canal size for
delivery from May to August, 1919.
This contract will require 100000
tons of steel plates and structural
shapes. According to the "Iron Trade
Review" shipbulding has been given
precedence over all other war activi-
ties, then il order follow naval work
and the needs of the War Department
and railroads.
