Look Ahead
Raise Pigs

The meatless day order has been
suspended for 80 days.
Do you know why?
II is not because our soldiers
and the allies do not need the
meat-they do need it and will
need 1t more and more.
There is a decrease of 65 per
cent of cattle, 40 per cent of sheep
and 6S per cent of hogs, in the
annual market in England.
But it is because we have not
at this time the domestic storage
capacity, and inland, port and
overseas facilities to transport the
surplus.
Raise pigs while the transporta-
ton facilities are being increased.

What War Does.

For those who go to war the victory is not always to the strong nor the race to the swift. One of the seeming. ly paradoxical things taught by the conflict between the states was that recruits who seemed to the ordinary observer to be too frail and small to stand the rigors of war almost uni- formly developed into tough and reli- able soldiers, often more SO than their bulky and athletic brethren. The test of the battlefield has proved that many a man who had been Hmid and considered himself a coward was in reality braver than the swashbuckler who had sneered at him back home. Men who have been disgraceful fail. ures in civil life have been converted in the fire of war into leaders of high ability.
