 DANGER OF SHORTAGE IF
 SUPPLY IS NOT CONSERVED
 On October 1st we had on hand at our factory and in twenty warehouses scattering over the country suffi- cient VapoRub to last us, I've thought, until January 1st, allowing for 50 per cent increase over lRst years sales, and not counting Sur daily output.

 THE PROBLEM IS How TO DIS-

Our normal out put is about 4OOO dozen per day. We are putting on a night shift, but it will be little while before that is producing.
 WHAT WE ASK THE WHOLE

DEMOCRACY.

Well, said the captain of artillery, as he stood watching three Tanks playing baseball in the Tuilleries gardens in Paris. "I guess that if we came over here to make the world safe for democracy, we have finished the job and can go home."
 Look" pointing to the three ball players. "One of those men is an Ameracn soldier. one is Y. M. C. A. secretary, and one is Garry from, an American stevedore regiment. The white isoldfer's father was killed while fighting to free the slaves, the "Y' mans father was a slave own- CT and the darky's grandfather was a slave. They are playing ball in the grounds that were once the pri- vate grounds of an emperor. If that isn't democracy to the Nth power what de you call it?

Oct 2S.--(By Asso- ciated Press s)-AlthOuGh the German army is making the most desperate effort in the wars history to pre- venl the Americans from breaking tn. ough the vital Ver;lun sector, it is equally or more fearful that there may be breach endangering Metz. with the consequent necessity of abandoning all the territory still Oc- cupied and an invasion of the Ger mall empire itself
 With division after division of trc ops, machine guns and artillery the enemy is bitterly defending him. self west of Verdun, but it is with an elaiborately strong trench system with rows of barbed wire and even electrified wire. that he has been fol lerishly working during the past few weeks to mike Metz invulnerable
 The system has been laid out roughly between Pont-A Mousson ,Av- ricourt and the river Seille, with a parallel front from Cheminot to Vic
 The enemy's activity first showed itself between Chateau Salins and ,Moyenvio, where no less than five parallel trenches have been con- strrcted and three on the rivers side of the slopes.
 Another position has been hastily organized depending upon the heights of Juvelize and Donnelay
 The greater part of the line is strong with electrically charged wires the current of which is furnished by high tension generators, plants be- ins located at the Salins Gorge. Mor- hange and SarrebOurg.

FORM PIG CLUBS
Wisconsin Bankers Association Be- hind Movement for More Pigs
 In The Badger State.

Milwaukee, Wis.,, Oct. 2s.-Organ- ization announced that the first step would be to place 500 Duroc Jerseys on farms in five or six counties.
 Under a similar plan tried in other parts of the country, the boy was provided with a young pig by glvlnlg note to the local banker. The uig was fed through the summer and sold in the fall at an advance in weight. The boy thus touched profit for his trouble.
 This plan was attractive and profi- table, but resale of the porker for slaughter did not increase the stock of pigs.
 With a view of making Wisconsin a pork producing state, the agricul- tural committee of the Association has arranged with a breeder for 500 pure bred pigs, twelve weeks old, which will be loaned" to 500 boys in Wisconsin next month. They will be kept for one year and bred at the proper season by pure bred sires. The boy with the borrowed pig will retain the increase in his drove returning the first animal. It is believed that the pigs on these 500 farms will soon multiply and in a few years make Wisconsin famous for it's pure bred pigs. :?
 Every pig will be tagged" and his pedigree attached. At periods of three mouths the uigs will be brought to the nearest town. re-weighed and in spected, and prizes for the greatest gains will be offered by bankers and merchants. This competitive feature will assure care. Each boy will be obliged to keep record of the growth of his animal.

Until a car loaded with joint
shipment of hides, consigned to a
firm in Chicago, reaches its des-
tination, the Omaha Hide & Fur
company and Bodies & Rogers, hide
dealers of this city. will be ignor-
ant whether one hide or a carload
of this valuable product has been
stolen from them. .
On Monday the two firms loaded
out car Of hides in South Omaha
for Chicago. Tuesday morning, a
woman, giving the name of Sadie
Smit, and who left no address, ap-
peared at the Bolles & Rogers es-
Enlistment on South Fifteenth
street.
She drove up in a buggy to which
was attached a single horse and
went into the hide house with hide
which she offered for sale to Mr..
Rogers.
He at once identified the hide as
one he had placed in the Chicago
shipment the day before and asked
the woman: Where did you get this
hide%
"You haven't got anything on
me-yet;" she exclaimed as she
rushed out of the door.
In her anxiety to make her es-
cape she forgot her horse and bug

organizations in the world; not be-
cause of ignorance, for it is one of
the greatest educational factors in
the world; not because it is poor,
for it is one of the richest institu-
tons in the world. But the need is
that there must be replenishment
of the power of the Holy Ghost and
a conservation of the riches which it
possesses to the service of God.
The trouble which has confronted
the churches has been the fact that
they have had more ballast, than
sail. Many of the official boards
have been more of a dead weight
than an active dynamic force. 1t
has been more of social club or
guild of responsibility.
Bishop Lewis Address.
Following the address Of DR.. Pow
ell, Bishop w. S. Lewis, recently
from China. delivered an address in
which he pointed out the fact that
the idea is not a new one, nor is it
confined to this particular church
nor to this country. In substantial
ton of his statement he quoted from
the Psalmist David: 81 have been
young and now am old; but l have
never seen the righteous forsaken
nor his seed begging bread"
Dynamic power" says Bishop
Lewis, always depends upon the
thing to which it is hitched and the
Centenary movement is the heart
beat of God, and is not confined to
any one church or people. 1t is world
wide.
1--WE have just passed through a
world war and there are people who
would say that the war was all that
was going on. But it was merely an
incident; a sign that the world is in
great upheaval, that nations were
being pushed together, and the fail
ure to recognize the fact was due to
the fact that the Gospel has not been
effectually preached"
