"H, KIDS"

The six Hooverites who are visit
ing the American camp awoke the
other morning at reveille, after spend
ing the night In hay lofts and bar
racks, somewhat better acquainted with
conditions under which the American
soldiers are living.
Too Cold for Pig.
To begin with, this was to have been
the story of how Everett Colby Of New
Jersey, slept with pig. Mr.. Colby
and the other representatives Of Her
bert Hoover wanted to sleep and eat
under exactly the same conditions as
the doughboys. Thereupon the press
officers In charge Of the arrangements
framed It up" on the New Jersey
man.
They happened to know that In o
certain village wherein militlamen were
IQunrtered there were ideal advan-
Itages for roughing It Ten soldiers
were billeted In certain barn owned
by an old villager who obstinately re-
fused to allow the Americans to dis
turb his pig, which had been occupy
ing the same hay loft with them for
some time.
The press officers arranged to have
one soldier move for the night to give
Mr.. Colby accommodations next to
the pig. Then the following morning
the correspondents were to interview
the Jerseyan on his impression Of the
pig and the pig on his Impressions Of
his fellow lodger.
But the pigs owner had been left
out Of the calculation. The night was
cold 30 the villager moved the pig into
his own quarters, where there was fire.
SO the world win never know what
Mr.. Colby thought Of the pig and vice
versa.

RARE OPPORTUNITY
FOR BOYAND 'sHEP'
HOW COUNTRY LAD MAY SERVE
HIS COMMUNITY AND COUNTRY
AND ENJOY FINE SPORT.
"COTTONTAILS" AND STAMPS
Two Rabbits viii Buy a Thrift Stamp
Every Thrift Stamp Purchased
viii Buy Five Bullets for
Our Soldiers at Front.

Every country boz has rare oppor'
tunity OF having fine sport and serv'
ing his community and his country at
the same time, during the snowstorm
and the present high price of rabbits.
Two rabbits will more than buy a
Thrift Stamp. Where is the country
boy who, with the aid Of a snare and
his farm dog. and snow-covered
ground, cannot catch at least two rab-
bits day?
In months time, at odd moments,
an Industrious boy who loves the sport
Of rabbit.hunting could be the posses.
sor of War Stamp which would cost
him $A12. and in January, 1928, this
same stamp will bring him $5.
Every boy knows that in killing
rabbits he is doing the farmers In his
vicinity service by protecting the
young fruit trees in his neighborhood.
The tender bark Of the young fruit
trees Is most tempting morsel for
the "cottontail." Often during heavy
snowstorm every tree In an orchard Is
"ringed" by bunny, whose supply OF
green food is covered with snow.
To the country boy alone belongs
the science and woodcraft Of trapping
the "cottontail." He Is past master In
the art OF snare-making and batting.
Only the country lad can know the
exhilarating Joy Of rabbit hunt.
What greater sport is afforded the
country boy than rabbit hunt with
"shep.. ana what greater opportunity
is given him to serve his country
through acquiring the habit Of thrift
and lending his money to his country?
