Forbes Watson, driving an ambu-
lance in France, dropped into one Of
the canteens which the American Red
Cross is operating in France one eve
ming, he says in the Red Cross Maga-
zine:
opposite me was q Poilu with the

hung over him, too poignant for me to
approach. He took away his bowl for
some more coffee, and at a counter
which had become little less con-
gested I saw him In conversation with
one of the American women He talked
to her as he never would have talked
to a man, because she knew how to
talk TO him. Later l asked her
his story. He had lost four brothers

1.-TWO weeks later he wrote her a
letter telling her that her sympathy
had torn apart the black veil that
seemed to have settled down forever
between him and life. And he wrote
simply to thank her for having given
him back the courage to go on. 'Vive

Was it an exaggeration to say that
these American Red Cross women are

AID FOR Pig CLUB MEMBERS
Increased Membership viii Be Great
Help In Increasing Production
r. of Needed Pork. a

| prepared by the United States Depart
ment Of Agriculture)
One of the most potent ways Of in-
creaslng the number Of hogs Is by ems
eouraging more boys and girls TO join
pig clubs. In the past these clubs
have been markedly successful. They
have been the means Of introducing
purebred hogs into many communi-
ties and raising the standard of hogs
as well as improving the conditions
under which they are kept and the
care given them. The number of pig
clubs in the Northern states on June
80, 1917, totaled 1887; in the South
the number of community clubs is be-
tween 1000 and $500, and in almost
every club are found members of pig
clubs. Although the number is large,
it is possible to increase it greatly by
forming more clubs in counties where
there are agents to direct properly
the efforts Of the young people. In
order to stimulate these activities, the
department during the past year has
added to It's force several pig club
specialists, and n number of the agri-
cultural colleges have done likewise.
In this work, it is of first Importance
that proper instructions be given to
the members in regard to all phases Of
swine husbandry so that clubs will be
successful in bringing to market
large percentage of the pigs under
their care. Clubs should not be or
ganized unless there is ample assur-
ance that sufficient feed will be avail
able to bring the pigs TO maturity.
Swine breeders associations have
been active for number Of years in
assisting pig club members to secure
purebred hogs at reduced prices. This
has made it possible for members to
obtain good stock with which to lay
the foundation for herd of. purebred
swine. The result has been the intro
ductiOn into many communities of de-
sirable breeding stock and the stimu-
latiOn of more widespread interest in
good quality hogs. Swine breeders |
associations doubtless will be willing
to continue in the future the assistance |
given to club members in the past.
Bankers in many states have reaIA
lied the value of pig clubs as meanl;
of materially improving rural condi-
tions and at the same time increasing

FINDS BULLETS IN THE BODY
Electro Magnet, Proves of Value in Ca
madam Hospitals Along the Lines
of Battle.

A sound every much like the whistle
of steamboat" in stethoscope placed
on the patients skin is the manner in
which an electro magnet tells the posi-
ton of bullet in wounded soldiers
body, according to Surgeon General
Fotheringham of the Canadian army
medical service.
The new magnet has been found to
be of great value in a large number
of the Canadian hospitals in the battle
zones, as with it the exact location of
any electro magnetic substance, in
cluding the German bullet, can be de-
termined. An easily discernlble vibra-
tion is set up by the magnet when the
bullet is not deep-seated.
In cases of deeply imbedded bullets
the electro magnet is placed on one
side of the patients body and a stetho-
scope is moved about on the side oppo-
site the magnet. The nearest point to
the foreign body is indicated by the
steamboat whistle" and the skin is
marked at that point. The operation
for extracting the bullet follows.

the production of meat and teaching
the members good business methods.
Not few bankers have made it pos
sible for worthy club members to Sc
cure pigs on their personal notes. In
this way a well-bred pig is obtained
through the efforts Of county agent
or pig club leader or specialist and
a banker. The member is given the
opportunity to pay for it from the pro.
ceeds of the pig as a meat animal or
from the sale of offspring in case Of a
breeding animal. Often the member
enters into business agreement with
the parents consent) with the bank
er and thus secures a pig when 9th.
erWise it would have been impossible
for the child to have joined the club.
In other instances the bankers have
bought bred gifts to be bred and
given them to club members with the
understanding that two pigs were to be
returned for the original gilt loaned.
These pigs in turn are lent to other
children. This plan is the so-called
endless chain contract. Either plan
has resulted in increasing interest in
pig clubs with its accompanying ex-
pansion in the supply of pork products
and the instruction in swine husbandry
which is part of the club work. The
banker thus helps to lay foundation
for the prosperity which will be last.

sale of hogs will be expended in fur

banks will get more deposits, and the
farmers will have more money with
