SOLDIERS ADOPTED" By PIG
Odd Mascot That History Records ~
Attaching Itself to Company Of
kentucky Volunteers.

There Is in the history of the state
of Kentucky an odd incident In con-
nection with the invasion Of Canada
by the Kentucky troops In 1872. A
company OF volunteers. destined for
Selby's army. assembled at Harrods'
burg and formed a nucleus around
which the military recruits Of the
country gathered on the march to the
Ohio.
On the outskirts OF the town named,
so the story runs, the company saw
two pigs fighting and delayed the
march to watch the combat. When the
march recommended it vas observed
that the victorious pig was follow
ing the company and when the men
encamped at night, the animal lay
down near at hand. OF course the sol.
diers fed their plump recruit. The next
day the pig followed them, and this II
did daily on. the march to the river.

Crowds who had gathered to wit

recently also saw a young man and

of a canoe which had ventured into

The canoe is an invention of our

It is absolutely unrivaled for trav-
ersing inland waterways, where shall
low water may be met or portages
required. For lack of such q native
continuance many large rivers In

EASY TO MIsJuDGE CHILDREN

Let me remind you OF the sufferings
OF the stupid" child. Real stupidity
is q great a~fliction, but one which
rarely receives the sympathy it stands
SO much In need Of. Now, many chill
dren who are thought stupid are not
stupid at all. They may have certain
defects OF a physical nature which can
be remedied, or their schooling and ed
ucation in general is Of a kind that
Is not adapted to their special needs.
II juggling with figures, enormously
called arithmetic, is made q test of in
telligenee. then the constructive or ar
tistic genius of a child MAJ remain un-
discovered; and II parents and teach
ers Judge those children to be bright
who can, by so-called parsing. arrange
the dead bones Of the language In mr.
tificial order, or who shine out from
the others by brilliant recitations and
unchildlike discussions Of adult prob
lens at graduation exercises, then the
dreamer. the philosopher and the poet
will pass for ounces.
1t is only too true that many of our
greatest minds have been considered
absolute failures during their school
career, not to say in the homes of their
childhood. How many OF them had to
assert their native excellency against
the most violent resistance Of those
who were too blind to perceive the di-
vine spark In their children's souls?-

Army Makes Record Meat Purchase.


Chicago.-The largest single order
for bacon and canned meats in the
history Of the worid-99, 100000
pounds Of bacon and 1874. OOO. 600 pounds
of canned meat-has just been placed
by the Quartermaster's Department,
u. S. A., for tire American Army over
seas.
Louis F. Swift, in commenting on
this today, said the order will take
the bacon from approximately 1900
600 hogs, and if other work We're
dropped to produce 1t, would be equiv
alent to the total bacon production Of
the five largest Chicago packers for
nearly five weeks. However, six months
will elapse before delivery Is to be COM
pleted. Mr.. Swift said:
Eat the current prices on the day.
last week, when the purchase was
made, the packers would pay the live
stock producers about $SO,OOO.OOO for
the necessary hogs and over 100000 600
for about 100000 cattle required. The
cattle will cost us twice as much, and
the hogs two and one-half times as
much as in the pre-war period.
The whole order will be made up be-
fore the first of the year, despite the
fact that, ever before this purchase,
one-fourth of the packers facilities
have been devoted to filling military
demands. In order to get out the
canned goods the packers will find ii
necessary to employ night and day
shifts of canners Notwithstanding
the fact that the products are being
rushed forward thus hurriedly. not a
single complaint has been received on
meats delivered % the armies abroad.
The five packers are now killing
about 100000 hogs weekly to keep
abreast Of martial and domestic needs

SHOWN CROWDS
How Germans Turn Their Cap
tives to Account.
Idea 10 to Oelude the People Into
Thinking That Military Victories
Are Constantly Being Won ~
the kaioere Soldiers.

Ivan s. Rossiter, a Canadian soldier,
has Just been in to e me. For q
year he was q German prisoner. When
the Germans caught him he was badly
wounded In the right hand. They
took him to q hospital, where. without
the use Of an a~nesthetic. they y on
one of his fingers and removed nve
pieces Of bone from his mangled wrist.
They said that they had no anesthet-
les to spare for use on q 'schWeln-
hund," and added that they were v
ing their anesthetics for their own
wounded soldiers. ROssiter showed
me what is left Of his hand. 1t isn't
much, and what is left Is Of no use,
except as a reminder Of that German
surgeon who operated without giving
an anesthetic.
While Rossiter was in Germany he
was moved about from one prison
camp to another until he and other
prisoners were exchanged for German
prisoners held by the allies. This
moving-abOut process was the most
interesting thing he described. He
was never allowed to stay In q place
more than a few weeks. In the year
that he was there he was In nine diff
ferent prison camps, located in vari-
Gus parts of Germany. On each trip
the train that was transferring these
wandering prisoners stopped at every
station. German officers got out ev-
cry time the train stopped and told
people that the prisoners were all new
ones-just taken! Rossiter says that
one excursion Of this kind began at
four O'Clock in the morning and lasted
until late at night. And always at ev-
cry station were a crowd OF people to
teer at these new prisoners, many OF
whom were French and Belgians who
had been in captivity for two years.
1t got to be like q theatrical troupe
playing one-night stands-Only far
more boresome, for the prisoners were
never allowed to leave the trains or to
communicate with the crowds that
came to see them. Rossiter says that
one company Of British artillery
stakes the palm for touring Germany
in the guise of new prisoners. They
were captured In the fall Of 1914 and
they are still playing to packed
houses.
In other words-to fool the people
Is Germany's policy. Bismarck be-
lieved in that idea. He once said that
1t Is impossible to Overestimate the
stupidity of the human race. No
doubt the kaiser feels just as con-
temptuous about us. In his mind. men
are nothing but SO many tons Of flesh
and bone to be used to push back
boundary lines.
This war is for the purpose of pre-
venting human beings from becoming
as bOneheaded as the German emper-
or would like them to be. 1t is q war
against the thick skull. On one side
are those great nations whose policy
is to teach the people to think for
themselves. On the other Is the Ger
man autocracy, which says: "Believe
what l tell you" Imagine trying in
this country to palm off a trainload Of
veteran prisoners as new ones.-John

L. L. Harding Has Taken Up with Department Proposal for Some
 Changes.
FROM THE LABOR UNION
Is Claimed That Fishermen Cannot Make a Living at the Previous
 Prices.

| An effort to adjust fish prices and report that l.. l.. Harding would take the matter up with the Depart. | ment at Washington concerning the same, was the most interesting sub. ject before the meeting of the Local No. 4, Alaska Labor Union, last night. It was decided to change the meeting date of the Union from Tuesday evening to Monday evening hereafter. James Russell presented the prospectus of cooperative store it is, purposed to establish in Juneau, which was read to the Un- ion, but no action called for.
 The fish question was presented in a letter read, which was also pre- sented to Gov. Thomas Riggs IT,. today The letter follows Juneau, Alaska, June 25th, 1918. Mr. L. L. Harding.
 Acting Food Administrator for
 Alaska, Juneau. M Tear Sir
 We desire to call your attention 10 the fact, that the fishermen are not satisfied with the prices set by the Board on salmon of the follow ing varieties, namely, Sockeyes. Co hoes Humps and Dogs. The run" of these fish is about to start. and unless something is done to change these prices, the men will quit fish ing, and. go to work at something slse which of course they can do. They are members of the Union and have called upon us to try and ad- just the matter before 1t is too late. Now then, in this connection l wish to say that that 1t ts the Unions desire that these men re- main on the fishing grounl. and take this food from the waters; .hey contend however, that owing .o the increased cost of gear and other supplies necessary. that they cannot make livlihood at the pric. es set by the board on the above. mentioned salmon. They have pre- ,ented two proposals, which they say are practically last years prtc- | es. herewith submit them to you 
 | for your consideration: Sockeyes. 55 cents a piece. Cohoes B cents a piece. Dogs, 30 cents a piece. l Humps, 5 cents a piece
 Will say that the above prices I were mailed to w. c. Redfield. Sec retary of Commerce, Washington. D. C., at the same time requesting him to use his efforts to have the mat Ter adjusted. the letter was mailed | to him on the 8th inst.
 The other proposal made by these men is as follows:
 Cohoes. cents per pound. | Sockeyes. ' cents per pound. | Dogs, 20 cents Q piece.
 Humps, cents . piece.
 Trusting that you will take tAis
 matter under consideration st the
 earliest moment. and that proper
 solution of the affair may be ar rived at before these salmon start running, we are.
 i Very sincerely yours, 1 (Signed) ALASKA LABOR UNION.
