PLENTY OF HOGS YET
fBv F. w Barber ]

Contrary to popular belief, this country is no ways short of hogs. We have plenty of them, but unfor- lunately there are many of them that are not available for pork, all though they are constantly engaged in accumulating that article. Nei- iher are, they classed among the tribe of hogs proper, for which if the other hogs could think they would doubtless give thanks.
 This useless breed of hogs are like Kipling's bear that walked like a man. And it is about the only manly attribute that one can detect in them, because even this accomplishment is utilized for ac- tions that would shame any self-re- specting hog that is compelled to go on four feet.
 It is a favorite practice of this hog, since the food regulations went into effect, to put all his hoggish in- tellect to work on schemes to out wit the authorities. When sugar is limited to 9 cents worth to a cus- tomer, he will visit stores into which he never before set foot in search of sugar, intent only on lay ing in a supply for his hoggish wants. even though others may go without.
 He is the same fellow who raises Cain with his grocer for refusing to sell him all the flour he wants, and abuses the hotel and restau- rant men for refusing to serve him meat or light bread on meatless and wheatless days. eg p
 When the food administration goes after the CONSUMER and compels him to obey the letter and spirit of the law-which must come if we are to succeed in the task we have set ourselves--this particular breed of hog is going to have hard sledding. Speed that day.

BLINDNESS RESULTING FROM
 MEASLES AND SCARLET FEVER
John II. Ilinemon, Superintendent of the State School for the
 Blind, Issues Caution.

Measles and scarlet fever are two of the diseases of childhood which often cause defective vision or blindness.
 Few parents realize that during the progress of these diseases the eyes of the patient may develop serious ulcers or purulent condition, which, unless skillfully treated, may leave a white film over the "sight" of the eye and cause bhnd- ness. Even skillful treatment is not always able to prevent this result. The eyes should be cleansed daily with q warm solution of boracic acid and the patients room should be darkened.
 0culists who see the clouded eyes resulting from measles and scarlet fever, but usually at too late time to prevent their becoming blind eyes, feel that the necessity for the care of the eyes during measles and scarlet fever is so important that they have requested health officers during epidemics of these diseases to distribute circulars calling atlen- ton to the danger of these diseases Co the eyes and giving instruction for the care of the eyes which may prevent this dangerous condition.
 It is equally important that care should be given the condition of the eyes while the child is recovering from these diseases, as the eyes are still weak and much permanent in jury may be done them if they are exposed tc too strong light, or if the child is allowed to use them for reading or for the usual pastimes of cutting and coloring pictures.
 A great deal of rest to the eyes at this time will prove an investment in good eyesight for later years

URGES WHITE CORN
Preferred to Yellow for Use as
 Flour Substitute.

Little Rock, March i3. - Those who know advise the farmers that if they will plant more white corn, instead of yellow corn, they can do more to help win the war.
 The Department of Agriculture is in correspondence with the West brook Grain X Milling Company of Pine Bluff on the subject and en- dorses the suggestions made by the company.
 The government is urging the use of flour substitutes and in the South this must be corn meal This calls for a great production of white corn which is just as easy to raise and always commands a premium of a few cents a bushel over the yellow or mixed.
 It is the patriotic duty of the farmers to help out in the present emergency, in so far as possible, by aiding the substitute plans insisted upon by the government writes the Westbrook company

Half Your Living Without Money Cost

 Even at present high prices no one can plant all or nearly all cotton, buy food and grain at present prices from supply merchant on credit and make money. Food and grain is higher in proportion than are present cotton prices.
 It's time above all others to play safe; to produce all possible food, grain and forage supplies on your own acres; to cut down the store bill.
 A good piece of garden ground, rightly planted, rightly tended and kept planted the year round, can be made to pay nearly half your living. It will save you more money than you made on the best three acres of cotton you ever grew!
