Hogs do not like to eat corn alone
any more than people would like to
eat bread alone. Why not give the
hogs some vegetables (forage) with
their bread (corn)? They will not
only grow faster and larger, but will
yield greater profit.
These hogs were litter mates, but
one was fed on corn alone and the
other on corn and forage Which kind

Upon those whom the United States

great obligation OF feeding. and
Hlothing the liberty armies OF the
world. The greater the crops the
harder the armies will be able to
strike.
What can hinder the farmer from
making maximum crops? Will it be
lack OF market and good price !?
No, the market and price prospects
are good.
Will it be for lack OF money or cred
it with which to buy tools, seeds fer
tilizers or other necessary supplies
No, money is plentiful and credit is
good.
Will ii be for lack Of labor? Labor
is scarce without doubt. In fact, the
shortage OF labor is practically the
only great obstacle the farmer has to
meet in producing maximum crops. II
he could have abundance OF labor he
could increase the cultivated acreage
and by proper fertilization he could
bring in very great crop. But in
view of the lack of labor what must
he do?

the labor shortage: First, increase the
applications Of fertilizers, which will
increase Che yield without enIarging
the cultivated acreage. Second, use
labor saving machinery.
But overcoming the labor shortage
is not all that is necessary to obtain
maximum crops. Here is a Schedule
of important things that must be done
by every farmer to get maximum
crops:

MIX WOUNDED WITH
TUBERCULOSIS VICTIMS
French Aviator kdds to long
List of Atrocities Commit
ted by Huns.

That French wounded prisoners are
mixed with victims of tuberculosis in
German military hospitals is the
charge made by Sergeant Paul Chew
alier, one of the most brilliant young
French ayiators, who has just returned
to his home in Paris after being a pris-
oner of war for II months.
Sergeant Chevalier says that in adj
dition to keeping the wounded men
with the tuberculosis patients. the
Germans forced them to wash them
selves in the same water, and also
made them wash their dishes in the
water used for the same purpose by
the white plague sufferers.
The German guards treated them
with the greatest brutality and the
hospital where they were confined
was in such bad condition that the
patients were soaked every time 1t
rained, Chevalier told his cousin, Mar
eel Villnueve. who is a Knights of
Columbus secretary and happens to be
stationed in Paris at present.
The gallant aviator, who is the win
ner of the Medal Militaire and the
Croix de Guerre with three palms,
was captured by the Germans after a
bombing raid on Metz.
His observer was killed at the time
and he was wounded in places,
but he had succeeded in getting his
plane to within five kilometers of his
own lines when the motor failed.
The plane fell and burst into flames
when 1t struck the ground. Chevalier
was badly burned before the Germans
extricated him. He was in the Ger
man hospital for a year, and two
weeks ago was exchanged through
Switzerland. He will return to the
service as a naval aviator.

HAS NARROW ESCAPE
British Altman Goes Through Ex-
citing Experience.
Tail of His Machine Shot of While
Flying at 5000 Feet Over
Ostend.

LondOn.-A British airman flying a
powerful machine at 10000 feet over
Ostend recently had the machines tall
shot off by the direct hit of a shell, a
very unusual occurrence.
The machine turned upside down,
out of control, and the pilot was
thrown out of his seat. BY some in
expllcable maneuve he managed to
Chamber onto the bottom of the fusel-
age of the machine astride OF which
he sat as If he was riding a horse.
Though the machine was out of con-
troll, owing to the loss of its tail planes,
vet by moving forward and backward
he so managed to balance IT that IT
gllded steadily downward, although 1t
was upside down.
He successfully brought II across
the German lines and came safely to
within a few hundred feet of the
ground. Then he crashed and was in
jured, but is now recovering in hos
pital.
When 1t is considered that this in
cident occurred at a height Of 10000
feet, over hostile territory, and that
during the airman's terribly precarious
ride he was subject to anti-aircraft
fire, and liable to the attack of hostile
scouts, 1t is not too much to say that
his is a record achievement.
Recently another airman was shot
down, out Of control, from 10000 feet,
and fell, fiuttering like a leaf toward
the ground. At a height of 5000 feet
he tainted. Shortly afterward he
came to, and found himself In the ma
chine upside down in a marsh, unhurt.

SCARE MEXICANS OUT
Hun PropagandiSts at Work on
the Border.
Try to Prevent Mexicans Crossing
Over to Accept Employment in
United States.

Laredo, Texas.-German p%ropagan-
dists in northern Mexico and along
the border are actively engaged in in
shilling fright into Mexicans with a
view to preventing their crossing to
the American side and accepting EN-
ployment as labOTers on farms, rail-
roads, etc. One canard that has been
given considerable publicity by the
propagandists is that the Americans
are contemplating drafting all Mexi-
can men between the ages of eighteen
and forty.five into the army, while all
Mexican women viii also be forced in
to service and 'taken to France, where
they will be used as washerwomen for
the American soldiers and the allies
generally"
These kind of reports have reached
the American consular service on the
border and they are exerting their ut
most efforts to set the Mexfcans right
by assuring them that none but Ameri-
can citizens win be subject to the Sc
lective draft, while, as for women,
there is absolutely no foundation for
thereport that they will % conscripted
and used as washerwomen in France,
as there are any number Of ome al
ready in France and non others are
needed "for washeFwOmen."
Now that the new draft is in effect
it is expected that the German propa-
ga1dists will be manufacturing all
kinds of deliberate f~alsehoods to
thwart the efforts of the Americans to
secure labofers from Mexico to do ag-
ricultural and other work in this cOun-
try.

CHINESE HELP ALLIES
Contribute Literally to Red Cross and
War Charities.

W. az @bditGCos
In the city of Singapore, down at
the end of the Malay peninsula, there
is a large colony of Chinese people
who have been giving TO the entente
sllies with the greatest lberality. DIR.
]. Stuart Maggie, a Methodist mission
airy and president Of the Anglo-Chi-
nese college of Singapore, has just
returned to the United States to at
tend a conference of his church, and
tells of the work they have done.
Many of the wealthy Chinese, he
says, give more than a tenth of their
incomes to aid the allies. They con
tributed largely to the building Of the
battleship Malaga, given to the Brit
ish government by the Federated Ma
lay states. BY a single effort they
raised $4,000 for the Red Cross, and
the boys of the Anglo-Chinese college
last year gave over $4,000 to war
charities. The Singapore Chinese have
also raised 100000 for the CEN
tenary of the Methodist church, the
purpose of which, as stated by its or
ganizers, is "to conserve the results of

CAMERA MAN CANNOT

Americans on the Run When Co.
ing Into Action, Says
Photographer.

When the American soldiers went In
to action at Chateau-Thierry they
went so fast that the most expert
picture men on the job could not keep
up with them.
The foregoing fact is vouched for
by Louis Francis Brown, the war pho
tographer, who arrived in New York
recently on a British liner.
II lost some mighty good pictures"
ne said. "Tm sorry TO say it, but l
just could not keep up with those
lads. l have taken a good many pic
lures under varying circumstances,
but I've learned that when I'm on the
American lines it's high speed l need
Pm going to remember that when I

Besides taking pictures Mr.. Brown
collected statistics on all the fronts
on "what five men are doing to keep
six men going" There are Americans
everywhere, he says. He saw one in
vasion where there were two Ameri-
rams to one Frenchman.
'SThe effect of the efficiency of
American business methods abroad
and at home is a great thing for the
morale of the soldiers - English,
French and ALL" Mr.. Brown said.
"Our boys are certainly proud of their
America, there is no doubt about
that.
sour railroad system in France is a
marvel to the civilians and the mill
tary. American engineers and freight
cars are doing ten times the work of
the same amount of French equip
ment."
Mr.. Brown praised the work of the
American salvage corps. Last June
clone, he said, the corps saved ST.
100000 in reclaimed uniforms.
'There seems to be an ~interloeking
system of speed, efficiency and cheer
fitness between our soldiers and
workers over there" he said.

IRELAND CLAIMS MANGIM
Latest French Hero Said to Be Son
of lrishman.

Ireland claims the latest ~French"
hero as her own. General Mangin is
the son OF an Irlshman who fought
against the Hun in 1870, then settled
down in France.
He is said to be blessed by the
watchful spirit of a French clair
voyant who has won fame since his
recent successes. Following Nivelle's
failure and removal, Mangin was
placed on the retired list. The mad
ame was displeased. She sought a
two-minute interview with "the Tt
GER" and the two minutes were ex-
tended to an hour. after which
Clemenceau restored Mangin to com
mand of the French left wing, with
results fully known to the crown
prince.

A British pilot, flying in France
from one airdrome to another, was
the last machine of a flight OF V
which struck across country and soon
afterward ran into clouds. He lost
sight of the other machines.
He looked around and saw several
black specks. Thinking they were
his companions he turned round and
flew toward them. When he drew
near they dived, firing their machine
guns. He fled.
His compass showed that he was
flying east-away from his own lines.
He flew on for 20 minutes, hotly pur-
sued, and at last outdistanced the
Germans. Not knowing he was well
over German occupied territory, he
turned once more and flew due west
for half an hour.
Far Behind Lines.
He then throttled down and drifted
slowly down through the sunlit loud
barrier. He saw a group of hangers
some 10 or Is miles away and began
to land. To his amazement he saw
that all the machines were marked
with the black cross. The Germans
began firing while the excited me-
chanics begah to swing the propellers
In order to start up the airplanes.
The airman realized that a consid-
cradle wind had been blowing from
the west and had carried him far be
hind the lines and he had not allowed
Himself enough time before he Owed
through the clouds.
Meanwhile he flew on, pursued holly
fol- the second time, and drew near
the lines. Ahead of him he could see
a cloudy turmoil of smoke and burst
ing shells and flying earth. A
big attack was evidently In progress.
The air was full of the white puffs of
the shrapnel breaking low e the
troops. Straight toward this mael-
strom he few and soon machine guns
on the ground began to fire flaming
bullets at him. SO low was he that
the barrage blazed all around him.
Information Is Important.
Below he could see gray masses Of
Germans collecting for a counter
attack. He realized this might be inn
portant information, and so landed as
soon as possible, crashing in a she'll
hole.
He crawled out of the wreckage,
ran stumbling across the shell-torn
earth, found a French headquarters
rear by, where he reported what he
bad seen.
This information proved of notable
Importance. Action was taken at once
and the tide of that battle was turned
to Frances favor.
