Arkansas Hogs intellectual" !"

Little Rock. Ark, Oct. oar
kansas farmers can raise just as
good hogs as the northern farmers
if they will better the standard OF
the breed and raise more forage
crops.
These are the conclusions OF ]. II.
McLead, leader in animal husbandry
of the extension division at the Uni
versity of Arkansas, who has been
investigating conditions in the
north.
While on the train Mr.. Mcleod
saw Arkansas hogs being fattened
by an Illinois farmer who had been
shipping them north each year for
the last four years and when asked
why he preferred to feed Arkansas
hogs, replied that their previous en-
vironment had taught them that
they must hustle for living.

in smiles and his hands extended,
the venerable guardian rushes forth
with the thunderous greeting
"Welcome to our Celestial City,

Before it is possible for the new

grasps his hand with the invitation:

Patriotic To The End.

Omaha, Oct. l9.-When John
Michael OF Omaha left for Camp
Dodge, Ia, last July, he cut a dime
in half. He gave to his wife the part
bearing the inscription "In God we
trust and kept the hall with the
inscription Liberty
A few days ago his wife sent him
this note Dear Jack, | lost my
half OF the talisman, I'm sorry, and
| wonder if anything dreadful will
happen to US now?'
Three days later her soldier hus-
band was dead. He was stricken with
influenza which develCpend into
pneumonia. On his deathbed he
gave his "Liberty' to friend in
structing him to forward it to his
wife with this message: Tell her to
keep her Trust in God The ianks
will take care of my part OF the
dime, Iberty!'"

ing the line OF telegraph poles
stretching across the plain.
The commandant smiled. Those
are periscope telegraph poles he
explained.
The poles were veritable telegraph
poles, with wires strung from the
tops, Just as they are seen along
country roads. But each pole was
hollow, to permit periscope to be
raised to high observing point
while a covered pit at the base OF
the pole accommodated the observ.
er taking the readings OF the peris'
cope.
Besides the. periscope poles, there
were periscope trees, with hollow
stumps from which the observers s
instrument was manipulated and the
readings made in pits below the
roots.
A camouflgae stone wall was an-
other curious device standing among
the camouilage trees and poles. This
wall, looking like the ruin OF an old
mill, was OF light plaster construc-
ton painted and weather-worn to
resemble real mill.
"A wrecked house often serves us
as very good camouflage" said the
commander. 1--WE had one with the
windows all gone SO the enemy could
look straight through to the walls
inside. By painting false canvas
walls, just back OF the windows, the
enemy still thought he was looking
at the rear walls opposite. But back
OF the canvas our observers and
snipers were at work and the device
was very effective"
A pile of gravel stood near the
wall-or what appeared to be pile
of gravel, for this, too, was camou-
flgea. The pebbles were heaped
around a hollow frame with its
gauze opening for the observers and
the flap through which the machine
gun barked. Further along was a
pile OF brick-camouflage and over
in the field, was stack OF hay
camouiage. Each one OF them was
a small fortress as well as a post OF
observtion.

SENATOR FRED E. TUCKER
ENDORSES GILLAM'S PLAN

The plan proposed by J. Robert
Gillian to drive the scrub bulls from
the state by legislative action has
received the unqualified endorse
ment of Senator Fred E. Tucker. A
bill will be introduced by him in
the next legislature providing for
the sale OF all cold blooded male
breeded animals at fair and equi-
table price and the creation of a
fund from which money may be
loaned farmers at per cent interest
Nor the purpose OF buying registered
bulls.
Asked his opinion of the plan,
Senator Tucker said:
1T is the most progressive move
which has been brought to my at
tention for long time and is GER
tain to result in unprecedented bene-
fits, not only to the live stock in
dustry, but to thousands of individ
ual men living on Oklahoma farms.
There can be no question about the
elimination of the scrubs resulting
in a general improvement in the
quality of cattle raised in the state,
and the Improvement in quality will
mean raising better cattle on less
feed and at a greater profit than has
been the common practice hereto
fore"
."The plan is simple he continued,
"and its greatest merit is that the
law contemplated will enable own
ers of scrub stuff to dispose of them
within a reasonable length of time at
a fair price while their owners will

Nothing Is Real In America: s
Great Camouflage Station

Behind American Lines in France
Sept. 2S.-- Correspondence OF The
Associated Press )-Nothing is real
in the great American camouflage
station here, All is deception.
Huge willow trees like those in
Flanders with trunks two feet in
diameter and mass OF sprouting
branches at the top are steel tubed
designed 10 hide an observer. Even
on close inspection they look like
real trees TO The Associated Press
Correspondent who visited the sta
ton and, with the commandant, eX-
plored their mysterious underground
recesses.
They were OF plaster cloth wound
about the central steel tube and viii,
pieces Of real bark fitted around the
trunk. A small gauze orifice, paint
ed 10 match the bark, was not no.
ticed until pointed out by the OF
ficer. This was for the observer
standing within the steel core OF the
tree.
Ten feet away the turf opened
disclosing a passage with steps lead
ing to tunnel and thence TO the
base OF the tree. With light we
grouped through the tunnel and up
into the tree. 1t was tight lit in
this tree trunk, but from the gauge
oriiice one had sweep OF the whole
nearby-by country.
A huge boulder, such as one sees
along country roads, was noticed
among the trees. The big stone
five feet high and seven feet across
looked very real, and yet this, too
was camouflage-a make-believe
boulder in which an observer and
machine gun could lurk.
Examining the stone, it felt rath'
er like big cardboard box, and gave
slightly to the pressure OF the hand
The frame was wood, the covering

patches of moss. And buried amid
the moss the canvas flap raised to

Gee, it was fierce"
This opened my heart to the IL
year-old boy right off the bat. My
attempt to warm up to him, hoWev-
er, met with scant success; for when
| attempted to spar with him in a
playful way little while later, his
eyes grew serious and with all the
manliness in the world he sneered:
81 wouldn't hit fellow with one
arm"
This amused me more than any
thing | have heard from a boy in
long while.
At the same time | was reminded
OF the fact that one does not neces-
sarily have to know Mrs. Gillian to
appreciate her sterling womanhood.
There are no better guides to the
character OF parents than through
their children: and Judging from
Frank and Robert junior-both
healthy, polite and refined youths
it is safe to say that their parents
are admirably fulfilling their true
mission among themselves and TO
the community.
Besides being a boy scout. Robert
junior is is an enterprising Satur-
day Evening Post agent. He is also
"A full partner with his brother in

he gasped-so | have been told
and exclaimed:
Gee whiz, papa, is that the name

Frank, being older, is more seri-
Gus, and naturally more industrious.
Instead OF taking advantage of the
past vacation period as an occasion
OF enjoyment he preferred to go to
his fathers Muskogee county ranch
and join the COW boys in the gener-
al routine about the place. That
he is studious was evidenced by his
having called my attention to the
proper position of the hand and arm

form for a picture.

THE DRIVE THAT FAILED

With the greatest collection of
men and war material ever assem-
bIed in the history Of the world,
Hindenburg started his huge
drive ON the allies in March and
for time it looked like the on
ward rush of his armies would
never be checked French re-
serves finally arrived, however,
and the Germans settled down af-
ter having over-run a large slice
of French territory.
After some weeks. the enemy.
renewed his offensive and again
swept everything before him. al
though this time he didn't keep
going as long. Then came the
third great assault when he
crossed the Marine and was pre-
sumed to be headed directly for
Paris. But on this occasion a
surprise party had been planned
by Marshal Foch and at the same
time some valiant Americans
were on the job at Chateau Thier-
ry. What those Americans did
is now history-and a glorious
page it is in the annals Of our eX-
peditionary forccs-and the story
Of what Foch did is not yet com
pleted because he is still doing it.
A counter offensive, which few
observers regarded as formidable
at the time. daily grew into larg-
er and larger proportions until it
became a real offensive Of the
first magnitude
Within the short time that has
elapsed since Foch turned on his
foes, the entire military situation
has been reversed. Not only has
the German high command ut
terly failed ID IFS purpose to
press on to Paris or the channel
ports but it has also lost a large
part Of the territory previously
captured, including practically all
points Of strategic Importance,
and at the same time has been
compelled to yield the initiative
to the allies.
While the Berlin war office
continues to extract all the com
fort it can from the situation.
