Thirteenth Congressional District
Prize Essay.

"Waste not, want not" is an old
saying, and if every boy and girl
would live up to this truth he or she
would be of invaluable aid TO his
country in this present crisis.
The waste food in the United
States amounts TO thousands of dol
lars.
This should not be, and must not
be. | would try to save some of this
waste by keeping a pig and feeding it
garbage, all the waste scraps from the
kitchen, the potatoes, culled vegcta-
bles and fruits.
The way / would collect garbage is
as follows: | would get half dozen
two-gallon cans with tight lids. l
would give one can to each of my
ncighbors before going to school ev-
cry morning, and | would ask them
to kindly save all the garbage they
had to throw away.
Then in the evening when l came
home from school would go and col
lect the garbage and cook it in large
pot, and feed it to the pigs before
supper.
would keep plenty of clear water
in the trough for them to drink, as
water is very necessary for pigs to
make them thrive and grow.
We have an acre of land or so, and
this spring l shall plant it in corn,
plant pumpkins in the row, and then
/ shall plant turnips in between the
rows after the corn is laid by, for
pigs are very fond Of turnips and
pumpkins.
One would be surprised to know
what small amount of corn it would
take with the garbage one could col
lect to fatten pigs.

HOW TO PREVENT BOTS

Bots in the horses stomach are
Matched from the yellow eggs which
are laid by nit flies on horses legs
and on their threats. If the animal
is permitted to lick itself some of the
eggs or the young maggots are car
ried to the mouth, and they later
reach the stomach, where they at
tach themselves and feed on the food
consumed by the animal. T. J. Tai
bert of the University of Missouri
College of Agriculture recommends
that the eggs be destroyed before the
animal ticks them off, by rubbing the
hairs bearing the eggs lightly with a
rag moistened with coal oil.

and evoked much applause. A little
boy Of eleven years who helped

YOUR cHILD's OWN ROOM.

Does your child have his OF her
room? II not, why not? There are
many reasons why most children do
not have their own OF individual
room but the most common and un-
iversal reason is that in most homes
there are more children than rooms
in the house. And this condition
prevails largely among the poorer
families and the families who have
10 rent.
The one great need in America is
more homes-homes owned in fee
simple by the family. This is espee-
tally true in the large cities and
towns. Once this need is supplied
the family become a more fixed and
definite quantity in one social status.
Once the family is established on a
frmer basis. the child can be given
more opportunities 70 become a
useful citizen. To the child COM
partnership is sweet and Is essential.
but to him ownership is sacred.
Read what a good woman has to say
concerning the duties owing to the
child, writing in Farm and Family:
'The craving for eompanionship
is powerful factor In the life Of ev-
cry boy or girl. but a certain amount
Of privacy and wholesome quiet Is
just as necessary TO the child's de-
velopment and happiness. I have
known families where life was made
miserable for everyone because Of
the constant pickering and quarrel
ing among the children. When the
house was enlarged so that each one
could have his own room. they sud-
denly lost their fretful ways, and
improved rapidly in disposition.
1T means a great deal 10 a boy or
girl to know that his small possessions
are sacred from the unsympathie
eyes and hands Of grown folks. n
have always trained my children TO
respect each others rights Even II
he hasn't room 10 himself. each
child has certain shelves. drawers,
and hooks sacred TO his own use"
The above article was written by
one who is in complete sympathy
with the child life and understands
child nature. The appeal here is to
parents to better understand the boy
or girl and to give him or her
chance.

scene Is laid in France and begins
with a beautiful love story and takes
you right into the midst Of those
awful battles Of which you have been
reading for so many weeks past. The
rending scenes depicted j will not

many tears when you see them. have
many heart thrills when you witness
the awful struggle in the trenches,
see delicate young girls forced TO
carry heavy burdens under which
some Of them would sink and their
brutal eaptors lash them with long
whips with all the feroeity Of wild
beasts. In this realistic picture Of
this great war you can almost i'm
agine that you feel the heat rs you
see the destruction Of towns and vii
lagos by FIRE, while the roar Of the
guns and brusting shells sent shud-
ders Of horrors through the speeta-
tors. The last scene in the picture
Is that Of our own American boys
marching by to the inspiring strains
Of "Dixie" and upon every face was
look which told Of a determination
to conquer or die.

remainder Of the sermon. Quite n
good deal Of damage was done by
this earthquake.
Last Saturday a great Liberty
