Giant Liner Not Included
BIZ United Press.

WASHINGTON, March 15:-The
giant Dutch liner Nieuwe Amsterdam
will be sacrificed as a transport ship
by the Allies because America keeps
her promises. The great vessel will
not be included in the Dutch ships to
be taken over next Monday by the
United States and the Allies and as
a result probably will drop out OF
transatlantic service for the rest of
the war.
Release of the 20,000-ton vessel
looked to for transport service is the
result of President Wilson insisting
that since the Dutch government was
promised (under the negotiations
pending before the Allies determined
to take her ships) that the Nieuwe
Amsterdam should be allowed to be
returned. the United States must
abide by her promise.
Once she gets back to Holland she
will be subjected to the same Ger
man threats as all other neutral ves-
sells and it is believed by officials here
that the Netherlands government will
hold her in port for the duration of
the war.

Dear little flag in the window there,
Hung with a tear and a woman's
prayer,
Child of Old Glory, born with star
Oh, what a wonderful flag you are.
End
Blue is your star in it's field of white,
Dipped in the red that was born of
fight,
Born of the blood that our fore
bears shed,
To raise your mother, the flag, Ger
And now you've come in this frenzied
day,
To hang from window, to speak and
say,
81 am the voice of a soldier son"
Gone to be gone "till the victory's
won"
81 am the flag of the service air,
The flag of her mother, speak for
her
Who stands by my window and waits
and fears,
But hides from the others her unwept
tears.

81 am the flag of the wives who wait
For the safe return of martial mate,
A mate gone forth where the war

To save from sacrifice other mems
wives.

The oft unthought of, the sisters

And wont come home, till the vic

BIG CLUB BOYS ARE
COMING STOCK MEN

The following was taken from the
editorial page of recent issue Of
The Breeders Gazette:
'sBy dint of saving the small a
mounts received from time to time
for especially faithful performance
of work at home on the farm fiji
teen year old boy had bank account
last fall of $82. He attended a sale
of pedigree bred sows in February
and came home the proud possessor
of an $50 sow, carrying her own
guarantee of producing capacity
The home folk said he was reckless
with his hard-earned money. He
sagely replied, Nothing risked moth
ing made. The best ! can afford is
none too good for me.
One afternoon recently the cherish
ed SOW brought forth and saved
litter of nine pigs. At bedtime the
wind changed to the northwest. A
few hours after midnight the young
stockman's father slipped out to the
open shed where the sow was shell
tered to see that her litter should not
become chilled, A lantern glimmer-
ed at the shed and there was the
young lad proudly finishing the job
of boarding up the open side of the
shed and lacking a gunnysack over
the doorway he had left.
- Would a tired boy gladly roll out
of his warm bed on a cold night to
fuss around his fathers old SOW?
Scarcely would the sternest of or
ders bulge him. But his very own
sow which he had watched and ad-
mired hundred times in thirty days
whose pigs he had counted over and
over in single evening, and had fat
tened and sold over and over again
in the dreams of half night, her
welfare was the most compelling con-
sideration in life. 1t was a JOY to
do ANYTHING for her comfort.
The man who evolved boys pig
clubs applied a practical psychology
which is making many stockman.
Many father understands its power
and clinches his sons devotion to the
farm through the youthful ownership
of live stock. Hard work for father
may be drudgery; it is joyous to care
for ones own thriving, growing in
teresting pigs. The more the swine
breeders we have today the more sue
cessful stockmen we shall have to-
morrow-and the more bacon we
shall have next year."
Last year the farm crops of Kan
sas were $142, 900 less than Geor-
gia and those of Wisconsins $175,-
100000 less. In fact New York,
Pennsylvania, Indiana, Michigan and
California, all great agricultural
states, fell short of Georgia. AS an
agricultural state, Georgia ranks high
but not as livestock state. 1t three
million hogs can be had by the New
Year it will help a lot The ten
thousand members of the pig club
will do their part. Some more can
get in-boys from 1918 if they will
hurry. This is the last call for pig
club members. See your county agent
or write State College of Agriculture
