President Approves the
Timely Injunction Sent
BY RedfieId to Chiefs

President Wilson has set Tho stamp
of his approval upon a timely injunc-
ton addressed by Secretary Redficld
to his bureau chiefs. IT is to be cir
culated. posted up, and made Il guild
ing rule in the transaction of all war
business. 1t should be golden rule.
Il precept always to be needed:
Forget how things were done be-
fore the war: eliminate red tape.
We must learn with Germans that the
war won't wait Delay is the kaiSer'S
ally"
Heads of department bureaus are
not alone insisting upon doing things
this year as they did them last year
and the year before that. The ''buSi-
ness as usual" pleasure as usual"
aud my own interests first" advocates
are just as guilty as the tapc-bound
bureau chiefs. All such are playing
Germany'S game of delay.
1t is the business of each Individual
to beStir himself to help win the war
1t is the business of all to realize that
everything is changed. that nothing can
be done this year as it was last.
We must do the things the war de-
mandS, and do them now.

Movies Showing Methods
of Increasing Country's Pork
Supply-Boys' Pig Clubs

AS means Of helping to increase
the pork supply, the United States de-
partment of agriculture has released
to the motion picture theaters. through
one Of the large motion picture COM
panieS. q film showing the work of the
boys pig clubs which the department
is organizing in all parts of the country
in cooperation with the extension
divisions Of the state agricultural col
leges. The film shows methods of in
Structing farm boys, and in some in
stances girls, who have Joined the agri-
and the methods used by club members
in carrying out instructions. The first
lesson taught in the film story is that it
costs no more to feed and care for the
pig of carefully selected stock than the
scrub, while the results in meat pro-
duced is greatly in favor of the we'll
bred animal. The picture shows fur
Their how to feed and care for the pigs,
how to protect them from disease, and
how to shelter them from the inclem-
mer. The results of wise selection and
intelligent care are shown in the we'll
groomed, fat, healthy porkers wearing
the prize ribbons they have won.
The first pig club was organized In
Louisiana in 1910. Now approximately
$4,000 members are enrolled in the
pig clubs throughout the country.

Food May Be Saved by Close
Watch of Weather Forecasts

Immense losses of food products. oc-
casioned by freezing ana other injuri-
Gus weather conditions. occur annually
that may, with proper precautions. be
avoided. This is especially true Of
shipments by rail during the winter
season. The weather bureau issues
forecasts daily, and special warnings
as occasion demands, giving infOrma-
ton Of expected weather conditions. in
Guiding frOStS, cold waves. high winds
and heavy rains or snow. During the
winter season. officials In charge Of

perS' Forecasts" giving the minimum
temperature expected to Occure within
Il shipping radius Of from "A TO 36
hours from the station. These fore
casts are published on postal cards.
Careful watch of forecasts and
warnings will often enable shippers to
avoid losses, either by expediting or
delaying shipments or taking extra pre-
cautions to protect goods from injury.
No shipment of considerable length
should be made without first ascertain
ing the expected conditions over the
route. The occasion demands the ut
most care to prevent losses of food not
only as matter OF self-interest but as
a patriotic duty.

Timber Sales on National
Forests Doubled in Year

Sales Of national forest timber in
the fiscal year 1917 were more than
double those of 1916, according to the
annual report of the government for
ester. The total amount sold exceed
ed 2000,000000 feet and is valued at
more than S3,715,OOO. During the
same period about 727000,000 feet
were cut and removed, for which the
purchasers paid $1.5O7,3O3 into the
federal treasury. The largest sales
were made in Oregon, where about
6SS,OOO,O00 board feet were disposed
of.
In addition to the timber sold, ap-
proximately 113,OO0OO0 board feet,
valued at almost $150,00O, was cut I'M

forests and depending on the forests
for firewood and building material to

The timber business on the eastern
purchase areas. while still small as
compared with the western forests,
showed decided increase. More than
three times as much timber was sold
and more than twice as much cut as
