TODAY'S ANNIVERSARY

The reign of the pirates in the Car
ibbean may be said to have common
ced ESQ years ago today, Jan. %, 1888,
when the Spaniards attacked and kill
ed a large body of smugglers and
traders at Ortuga. Aroused to wrath
by this massacre, the sea royers de-
clared war to the death against Spain,
and hoisted the bleak flag of piracy
as their emblem. Men of every ma
ton made up the cosmopolitan crews
of the crafts which roamed the Carib-
bean and the Spanish main and made
navigation a terror to the Spanish
merchantmen. The buccaneers con-
federacy was broken up through the
peace of fRyswick in 1897, but individ-
Ual pirates continued to play their
adventurous and cruel calling for a
century after. Piracy is as old as nav
igation itself. The practice probably
originated in China, and ancient
Greece and Rome had to contend with
pirate fleets which had their home
ports mainly along the north coast OF
Africa.

EXPECT INCREASE
IN PRODUCTION OF
MEAT DURING 1918

Washington, D. c., AIN. 22.-Possi-
bilities of increased meat production
in response to the Nations need are
indicated in the monthly report on
live stock at stockyards issued by the
Bureau of Markets, United States De-
partment of Agriculture.
Shipments of live stock known as
"stockers and feeders" from stock
yards back to farms, showed increases
in every case over the number han
died in 1916. Shipments of feeder
hogs were four times greater than dur
iTg 1916, and the month of December,
1917, showed shipments seven times
larger than for the same month in
1916. Shipments of feeder sheep in
creased about a million head, most
of the increase being in western yards,
although Buffalo showed a slight in
crease. These increases, it is pointed
out, may forecast an increase in the
number of animals to be prepared for
market on farms during 1918.
