Strange things have come out OF
this war. but none stranger than
this gigantic salvage plant where
everything from crippled guns and
cannon TO old army shoes and caps
is saved from total loss. and turned
back 70 some useful end at the
front. At first people looked at II
as freak. There was nothing like
il in the Civil war or the more re-
cent modern wars II started on a
small scale with 200 hands.
But now. after few months. il
is monster industry. with huge
buildings and towering stacks. II
will save the government $4,000
600 the first year, and il may reach
5O.OOO.O0O. This is no freak; II is
cold. hard saving Of millions Of dol
lars. at d time when material is
scarce and shipping difficult. IL IS
the anti-waste campaign brought to
its highest development by huge
government undertaking.
Going over the plant today there
was an opportunity 10 see the re-
narkable details of this salvage.
The wreckage Of the battle field is
only one OF the sources of this sal
wage. explained our escort. but il is
the greatest source. As men spring
into action they throw aside every
thing not absolutely essential. There
is besides the litter Of the actual
lighting. broken and abandoned
goods OF every conceivable nature.

SUCCESSFUL HOG DAY FOR
GRANGER COUNTY

Although the hog day in Granger
county has been necessarily delayed,
1t has at last been the cause of twelve
pure bred sows and gifts and two boar
all big poland chinas being brought
to the county. Feeders Of hogs alrea-
dy realize that If something is not
done now, time is coming when the
hogs cannot be found. They also real
ize that more profit can be made by
feeding pure bred hogs than from
feeding the ordinary run to be picked
up here and there over the country.
Today it is almost impossible to go
out and find even as many as one pig
to consume the waste from the htch-
en- unless one is willing to take just
any old thing at any old price.
Up to the present time very few
people have learned that it is better
to have pigs narrowed in early spring
and early fall rather than just any
time during the year. Any man who
feeds for the market knows that uni
formity both in size and color means
a higher price when the nogs go to
market.
Sometime ago cards were cent to
farmers with the request that they
report whether they wished to buy
or sell eitnel COWS or gifts. The cards
returned show that several men had
some for sale and that others wished
to buy. The following is the list of
men who reported for sale:
s. R. MCGEE, Rutledge, 3 gifts and
2 sows.

Walter Watson, Rutledge, 2 gifts
for exchange.
w. B. Hodge, Rutledge, gifts.
Robert Kits, Rutledge, gifts.
Earl West, Rutledge, bred gifts, "
OIL, " Duroc. b =
No doubt most all these men have
already sold but no harm can be done
by asking them now, in case you wis
to buy.
