Before Americas entrance into the
war, John Hays Hammond, Jr., was cx-
perimenting with the control of small
surface craft by wireless, and was SO sue
cessful in his efforts that he was as
signed an experiment station at Glouces-
ter, Mass, by the government. Previous
to the time that his researches became
wrapped in governmental secrecy, Mr..
Hammond had carried them to a point
where he was able to steer a small motor
boat, unnamed, more than mile out to
sea, and to bring it back by whatever
course he chose. The thing was done ly

from radio station on shore being the

FALL PIGS PROFITABLE AND
MUCH NEEDED.

In the South there is every reason for
the production of fall litters. The sow
that raises two litters year produces
pigs at q much lower cost than the one
which raises only one litter. Moreover,
she is more likely to continue a regular
breeder if kept steadily at her work,
being bred each time as soon as the
pigs are weaned It is all mistage
that two litters year are too hard on
the SOW If she is properly fed and cared
for she is the better for raising two lit
tiers every year.
In the North there are reasons which
may make the growing of spring filters
only the most profitable, although we
doubt It; but in the South there is no
sort of economic reason for rearing only
one litter = year. If provision is made
for dry sleeping and eating quarters, a
shell kept dry and clean for sleeping AMI
clean troughs on q clean floor for feed
ing, there are no climatic reasons why
fall litters should not be raised. In
fact, if provision is made for grazing
crops, IS should be done, the fall litt.rs
may be raised ~ cheaply a. spring lit
tiers, If not more 30. During the winter
the pigs are small and consume small
quantities Of feed and make better use
Of II. If winter or fall-sowed crops are.
furnished for grazing little grain will
produce good growth. Since il Is nee
essa1y to feed the SOW grain while she
is sucking the litter and also to feed
the pigs some grain while young this
period Of their life coming during the
winter when less srasing il available adds
nothing to the cost Of keeping the sows
and pigs. When spring comes and graz
ing i abundant these pigs are 1t stage
Of their growth when they can get along
best on grazing with minimum Of
grsin, and BY early fall they are the
night size to turn on cowpeas, soy beans,
peanuts, etc. These fall litters If kept
until Is to - months Of age, in the way
indicated, may be put on the market At
COED weights produced at the lowest
practical cost.

Considerable interest is being shown
in the forthcoming meeting of the Retail
Merchants of the State at Alexandria on
Tuesday, August 9th.
It is generally conceded that the
need Of organization among the retail
merchants il greater today than it has
ever been. This was demonstrated by
tine recent legislative act, imposing . tax
on open accounts. This measure never
would have been imposed on the mer-
chants had State wide organization such

Mr. A. Rosenzweig, New Iberia, La:
Dear folks-I went into battle on July
Is and was wounded. am at the hos
pital, but I feel fine now. Don't worry
I'll come home just the same. I GER
tainly had good time when / went
cover the top. 1t was plenty of fun,
and captured few Germans. They
are good boys after you capture them,
but they are not so good before you get
hold of them.
Believe me, we sure got them this
time. We made them run. We made
them run so fast that we had to rest
sometimes, because we got tired running
after them.
How is everything at home? How is
business? How is mother? If father IS
working too hard, tell him to leave some
work for me until / come home, so l can
help him out.
Well I haven't got much to say, so
I'll close this letter and write another
one tomorrow or next day. So with
good luck to you (also me) and love to
all. I'll tell you goodbye.

DON'T BLAME RUSSIA TOO MUCH.

Russia is really a nation that has lost it's morale,
a country Of down-hearted people who do not merit
an the blame that We are apt to heap upon them. Ger
talnly the tragedy of Russia is TOO great and too com
pick to be characterized so cruelty and simply as treach-
cry, or even detection as one American who knows
the country puts it in Inc magazine Russia"
We must remember that when the war broke out
Russia was chiefly dependent upon Germany for her
factory imports. The war cut off all but two of Rus
sias fifty ports. These two ports are Vladivostok in dis
tant Siberia, $500 miles from the battle front and ira
yersed BY one railway. and Archangel in the frozen
north, 400 miles away, and having a harbor closed six
months in the year by ice. From Archangel down across
the frozen marshes threads one pitiful little railway
line.
Having $4,000 miles of frontier to guard, $500 miles
Of battle front to fight for, 100000 soldiers to arm,
clothe and feed; possessing but a halfmile Of railway
70 each one hundred square miles of land as compared
with twenty miles to the hundred square miles in Eng
land; one factory where England has 100 factorfes-is
It any wonder the Russia could no longer endure the
strain, that # fell the victim 10 an inefficient govern
ment. German intrigue and became the prey of the
wild Bolsheviki elements?
With all our resources. our money. with no war at
home, We can see how sorely the eight with Germany has
taxed US here. At times we could not move coal, even
now we have no cars for many purposes. anad vet
Russia has nearly twice the population we have and is
almost bankrupt. It is true that Russia has vast guam
titles of grain and food supplies, but broken down and
unreplaced railway equipment cannot move them so the
result is bread lines in the big cities.
With all these things, with people standing for
hours at a time in line for bread-when the thermome-
Ter reads 20 bellows it any wonder that Russia has
become one of the great tragedies of the war?

Will YOU. PLEASE?

THE TIMES will be exceedingly grateful to all rel
atives or friends of Lake county soldier boys killed or
wounded in France. if they will advise this office when
notified of such casualty by the government. Owing to
the censorship this paper has no other means Of getting
this information than direct from parents or nearest rel
atives OF these overseas heroes. The L. S. refuses to
give addresses of dead or wounded soldiers, and this
paper feels that Lake county is entitled to know the
names of these boys of ours who are making the supreme
sacrifice. The government may have some reason for
giving names and Withholding addresses from the news
papers. but we do not know what difference it makes to
our enemies whether John Smith. killed in Flanders,
lives in Skowhegan, Me. or Deming, \. NJ, but we sup
pose Secretary Baker is inscrutable.
