BOYS PIG CLUBS
OF GRANGER COUNTY

Farm boys of Granger County are
to be organized into clubs for the
purpose Of raising more hogs. Every
effort possible is asked of farmers
and citizens of the County to assist
in the task of getting more hogs, and
the boys are to have a part in this
Hog Increase Campaign. To stimu-
late pork production and to develope
better interest of the boys in farm
ing, the Peoples Bank of Rutledge is
offering to each farm boy of the
County good opportunity to join
this club. Aboy between the ages of
10 and Is years may become MEM
Der of this banks club by securing at
least one pig and agreeing to care for
and keep records on it. Prizes will
be offered for the bestexhibits and
best records made by the hogs, de-
pending on the purpose which each
is to serve, the daily grains and cost
of production. Business men of the
county will offer these prizes.
The Peoples Bank is going to each
deserving boy eligible to the club. and
who can furnish satisfactory note,

6 per cent.
Each community desiring may have
local club af boys which will be or
ganized by the County Agent Wal
ter 0. Sharp, and all boys wishing to
become members should notify him
at Rutledge.
The object of these clubs can be
stated as follows:

of raising, fattening and marketing
hogs.

imal which will result in their TAX
ing more interest in farm life.
| 4. To furnish them with some pay
ing work, which will give them an in
sight into the business side of farm
life.
The results expected is that the
pork products may be materially in
creased, and that an increased num-
Der of farm boys will choose agricul.

the clubs will depend great deal or
the cooperation of farmers, the
school Superintendent and teachers.

HOW THE KAISER FIGHTS
Sec. and treasurer

We Americans hardly realize what
war really means. We read Of the bat
ties being fought, ships being sunk,
towns being raided by airships and
airoplanes, but little do we know of
the real horrors of the war being
waged in Europe today
A book made up from statements
of people who actually saw what is
related in the book is being published
in England and a few copies have
found their way over here. 1t tells
of the outrages being committed by
the soldiers of the German army.
After reading the book, one wonders
il the German nation is not made
of being that is only part human
and part beast or savage.
Belgium, the little country of much
suffering, the country that has re-
ceived the brunt of the war, has been
the scene OF most OF the outrages
committed. 1t seems to be the habit
of the German army when entering
a town to line up the women and
children in front of them and shoot
at the enemy from behind this human
fort, knowing that their fire will not
be returned. Another common prac-
tice is to line up the people Of a town
and count off five, and then they
shoot down every fifyh one they come
to.
The women have been outraged,
there is hardly a woman in Belgium
that lived in town occupied by Ger
man soldiers that will not become the
mother of a child that will know no
father, even now they are taking
their own country women and send
ing them to camps where they are
forced to live with soldiers on leave
from the front. 1t is a common oc-
curence to meet any number of wo-
men with children, with their breast
split open, as they know that in do
ing this the baby will die, as it il
almost impossible to get milk now
Such things as these do not happeI
occasionally, but are every day occur
ances, and crimes are being commit
ted by brutes of kultur, that can har,
ly be repeated, much less printed.
Why should our women not wan

GRANGER COUNTY
QUOTA OF HOGS

1t has been said that to be patrio-
tic .one must be willing to sacrifice
something. But farmers in this coun-
try have an opportunity to show their
patriotism, and at thesame time re-
ceiye personal gain from their efforts
when they grow hogs, one of the
greatest need now and one of the
most promising things to the farmer
is to grow more hogs. Farmers of
this County are impressed with the
successful results of hog growing
last year and with the present pros
poets for this year they are ready to
make a great response to the request
for the Is per cent increase. The quo
ta of increase of brood sows assigned
to this County is 500.
How many hogs will each farmer
need to grow in order to produce his
share to meet the great shortage?
The United States has been asked
by the Department Of Agriculture to
increase pork production in 1913 by
Is per cent. To meet this demand
some states must make 20, 25, and
80 per cent increase. Missouri must
increase so per cent. Tennessee far
mers are asked to increase the pro-
duction by Is per cent. If all far
mers who have been breeding as
many as two sows >each year will
breed three this coming year, they
will make a 80 per cent increase.
If those who have bred sows be-
fore will breed five this year, a 25
per cent increase will result on their
part. If ten sows are increased to
eleven the increase will be ten per
cent.
Why not estimate just what each
farmers quota should be? There are
many farmers found over the coun-
Ity by the County Agent who have
tgiven up their brood sows this year,
gifts will have to replace them and
somewhat smaller littcrs will be. ex-
pected, so the breeders of gilt must
count little above their quotas.
In assigning the quota of S5O,00O
hogs to this state the estimates have
been carefully made and skillful
plans have been formulated in ask
ing this county to make an increase
of 500 sows. If the requirements are
carried out by the farmers the pork
shortage problem will be easily solv-
ed. If the hog breeders fall short of
their respective quotas, more SER
ious shortage with extremely high
prices will result with only few
Iprofting and all who buy meat will
suffer.
Farmers are to be congratulated
on the great response made in pro-
ducing such large corn crop this
year. But great care must be exer-
lcised in caring for this crop. About
lone third of the corn crop will be
marketed thru hogs if these plans
of increase are carried out. Since the
food Administration has assured the
farmer that he will receive fair
price for 1918 hogs, how can the
Iwise man afford not to be patriotic
lin this particular if he is able to
grow hogs Farmers of this county
: are as rule good hog growers and
are expected to more than meet the
demanded increase.

LIFE AT CAMP JACKSON

The life down here is very nice.
AT 5:15 we brak the ice
That gathers in the trough outside;
Who said twas nice You know he lied
We've hardly got our faces dried
Till some one bellows, "All out SIDE"
If absent when they call the roll,
May God have mercy on your Soul
From Reveile we go to mess;
We eat like hogs must confess;
Our manners fine are all thrown off
Some guys have both feet in the trough
When mess is through we make our Bunks;
The duty squad picks up the hunks
Oh dirt and refuse thrown around
And cigarette butts on theground.
We do all this in double time
Then beat it to the Picket line;
We groom until our backs are sore
And they give Senaphare.
From Soma phare we get a.change
BY marching out across the range
To where the guns are parked, and here
We get the school of coniiOnneer.
Sometimes we set the elevation,
Sometimes study equitation,
Some TO the Buzzer then are sent
Some to B. c. instrument
At half past one we have d course
On ills and ailments of the horse,
And then, to discount variations,
We study army regulations.
We shave ourselves, and scrub the floor
And clean the mud off what we wore;
And this is followed in rotation
BY first aid class in sanitation.
All this ccomes just before Parade,
And the shadow starts to fade,
And the sun goes dosls gsdsssar4tags retreat
Oh Blessed hour It's time to eat.
By then we're feeling pretty fine
And all stay up till half past nine;
Then "Call to quarters" and perhaps
The lights are all put out by "Taps"
