CHURCH AND STATE DIVORCED
EcclesiasticaI Property in Russia
 Reverts to People.

London, Dec. 6.-The separation of state and church by the Bolshe- wiki government is explained in a iong statement sent abroad by the Bolsheviki official news agency. From this il is apparent that all ee- clesiastical property has been de- clared to belong to the people and is Co be used for the common veal
 The Bolsheviki commissioners of public charity who have been given control of the church possessions, announce that it is their opinion that this property should be used solely for the alleyialion of a lot Of the classes suffering most from exploitation by capitalist society. Accordingly the expenditures for the support of the churches and ecclesiastieal ceremonies will be suppressed. After March the clergy will receive no salaries from the government However, they will receive four weeks salary in ad- vance. Clergymen who remain in their positions and who wish to con- linue their functions will be em- ployed by the commissioners of public charity in the collective de- mand of the congregation they serve. Ecclesiastical functions and ceremonies may be continued on condition that the clergy accept as private persons remuneration from the locality where they ofiiciate.
 Referring to the action of the most Reverend Dr. Tikhen, patri- arch of all Russia, in issuing an an- athena. the petrograd correspon- dent of the Times says, the chuch has long lost much of it's control over the people, owing to the younger generation tending toward irreIigion. For this reason he does not expect that the patriarch's ae- fion will haVp ml1rh effect

Patriotic Duty to Increase Brood sows
 and Protect Pigs.

and Protect Pigs.
 It is the patriotic duty of every Ar kansas farmer not only to keep more brood sows, but to protect his pigs from cholera and other diseases Re- member, next to cholera, lice and in testinal worms are the worst enemies of the hog. Lice can be controlled by dipping the hogs either in the arsenical cattle dip. used for killing the ticks, or dipping or spraying in any one of the creosote dips or applying crude oil. commonly known as louse oil This is applied by painting it along the back of the hog and on the inside and outside of the ear When the hog lies down in the sun this will run over the body and will kill the lice and remove any seurf which may be on the skin.
 Intestinal worms can be prevented to a certain extent by changing the feeding places of the hogs regularly and keeping the troughs cleaned out; also by scattering lime over the ground where the feed troughs are To- cated A tonic for hogs will to cer iain extent reduce intestinal parasites. The following prescription has been used with a good deal of success by this department:
 Soft coal, 100 pounds.
 Common salt, pounds. Sulphate of iron. pounds Keep this in shallow box in the hog lot where the rain will not get into it. Detailed information concern ing all kinds of live stock diseases can be secured by writing to Dr. R. Nj. Cow. State Veterinarian, Old State House, Little Rock, Ark

 An oddly familiar sound murmuring in Stela's ear wakened her. At first she thought she must be dreaming. It was still inky dark, but the air that blew in at the open.wlndow was sweet and cool, filtered of that choking smoke. She lifted herself warily, looked out, reached hand through the lifted sash. Wet drops spattered it. The sound she heard was the drip of caves, the beat of rain on the charred timber. upon the dried grass of the lawn.
 Reside her Fyfe was dim bulk, sleeping the dead slumber cf utter weariness. She hesitated a minute then shook him.
 'Listen. Jack" she said.
 He lifted his head

 Then she slipped her arm abont his neck and drew his face down to her breast with tender fierceness and closed her eyes with a contented sigh.

on November %. neither Of those in
stitutions viii be represented. The
men who will play are not connected
with either Princeton OF Harvard. The
aviatOrs come from the aviation school
IN the town Of Princeton. while the
radio eleven Is from the radio school
at Cambridge, and Is not under con-
troll Of the Harvard faculty. The teams
which will meet for the worthy cause
are OF high caliber, and undoubtedly
will furnish 4 keen contest and one
worth going a long way TO see But
II Is camouflage, nevertheless Bill
Roper is not 10 blame for this stae OF
affairs; neither are the Harvard stu
dents nor the Princeton students. They
want TO help the cause: they want to
play. In fact, they are peeved because
they are not allowed to do their bit
The real trouble lies with the facul-
ties. They refuse to allow their teams
70 come forth TO do battle for the SIM
pie reason that they still cling to that
old idea that a team that cannot win
should not be sent on the field Early
IN the season Princeton had a strong
team and challenged Yale and Har-
ward, but the faculties at New Haven
and Cambridge were scared away By
the reports OF Princeton's power.
