The work OF returning the sol
diers to their former civilian status
in the industrial life of the nation
has been turned over to the de-
partment of labor and is being han
died by special committee headed
by Felix Frankfurter. An organiza-
ton is ready for the use of the

largely in the task of finding posi-

each local draft board will be consti-
tuted a central labor office for the

legislation by congress to prevent q

invoiced preparatory to their dis

size will be needed for this work for

The Spanish Influenza has broken
out again in Wild wood and the three
doctors or the island have had their
hands full with the many cases. The
school boards closed the schools on
Tuesday, both in Wild wood and North
Wildwood. The City Commissioners
have not closed the moving picture
theatre, but we understand the local
health officer advised that it be done.
The theatre was open last night and
has been all the week. The attendance
last night was very small. The cpl
demic seems to effect the children most.
Several families in the Holly Beach
section have been i'll. notably the
Weaver, Goodall and Harry Leaning
families. Dorothy Weaver, aged six
teen, was dangerously ill, but is re-
ported better. Edward Wimley, an
employee of the JOURNAL, is one OF
the victims, complaining Of aches and
having a light fever. The only death
so far reported Is that of Emily Brown,
daughter Of Water Commissioner 3os-
eph B. Brown. She was at school on
Tuesday of last week, and early on
Monday morning, November 25th, 1918,
death occurred Of double pneumonia.
Miss Brown was born at Cape May
Court House fifteen years ago, and she
was the only daughter, leaving her
parents and three brothers. She was
employed the past summer al the
Douglass candy store on the board
walk. Interment took place today at
Cold Spring cemetery. ..

Mayor opened proceedings. The min
utes of November 21st meeting were
soon read, and Commissioner Hendee
moved their adoption, as he invariably
does, almost "as regular as clockwork."

FORAGE CROP IS IMPORTANT


prepared by the United States Depart.
ment Of Agriculture.)
The successful and economical pro-
duction OF pork depends in a large
measure upon good permanent pas
lures supplemented by other forage
crops. There should be on an average
one acre of permanent pasture for each
brood SOW kept. Green forage is lit
tie more than a maintenance ration,
and if rapid gains are desired hogs
should have liberal allowance of
grain. Growing forage crops and graz
ing them off is good method of i'm
proving soils lacking in organic mat
ter.
Kinds of crops; (a)> For the cotton
belt Bermuda, bur clover, white clover
and Lespedeza make good permanent
pastures These should be supple
mented by small grains and rape for
winter, crimson clover and vetch for
spring, cowpeas and sorghum for sum-
mer, corn with soy beans, velvet beans
or peanuts for fall. (b) For the CEN
trail and middle Atlantic states, includ-
ing the bluegrass region, blue grass
should be used largely for permanent
pasture. It should be supplemented
by rye for winter, rape for spring, red
clover for spring and summer, corn
with soy beans and rape for fall. (c)
For the Northern. and Eastern states
blue grass or redtop provides perma-
nent pasture. Supplementary grazing
should be furnished by oats anu peas
for spring, rape and red clover for
summer, and early field corn for fall.
(d) for the West grazing is furnished
by alfalfa and corn. Corn should be
''hogged down."

SHIPPING SWINE IN SUMMER
Hot Weather Precautions to Prevent
Loss Of Important Part Of Ma
tons Meat Supply.

prepared by the United States Depart
fnent Of Agriculture)
Every hog that lis killed In transit
due to overcrowding or mishandling
means loss, at present prices, of prob
ably more than $50 to the shipper as
well as a waste of meat needed by the
nation. Mortality In transit or after
arrival at the central market can be
lessened greatly in hot weather by the
practice of the following simple pre-
cautions on the part Of shippers and
dealers:
/. When hogs are very hot, during
or after drive, never pour cold water
over their backs.
2. Before loading, clean out each car
and bed it with sand which, during dry,
hot weather should be wetted down
thoroughly. Hogs In transit during the
night only are not so likely to be lost
from overheating as are the animals
shipped in the daytime. With day ship
ments in hot weather 1t is highly adj
visable to suspend burlap sacks Of Ice
from the ceiling in various parts of the
