Pig Skins, Now Wasted, Good
For Shoes, Finest SaddIery,
And Fancy Leather Articles

There has been an enormous de-
crease In cattle and hogs In the United
States aud elsewhere. There are a.
100000 fewer hogs in this country than
there were n year ago. Hogs play a
most important part in the present
crisis. The losses from cholera have
been enormous, and the government Is
sending hog cholera experts into the
states to help in the work Of cholera
control.
There is one source Of loss that
should be considered, and 1t does not
pertain to disease, writes George II.
Glover Of the Colorado Agricultural
college. Leather Is scarce, and In the
countries that have been the longest In
war, the scarcity of leather Is possibly
causing the most concern. Pig skins
are wasted and they make the finest
Of leather. 1t has been tested, and
found to be highly satisfactory for
shoes and 1t makes the finest saddle
and fancy leather goods.
The rind on pork chops is not nec-
essary, in the modern methods Of cur
ing meats. 1t Is paid for by the con-
sumer, is total loss, and is con.
slant menace because of the fact that
uncooked pork rinds in garbage spread
hog cholera.
OF all the domesticated animals
the hog is the most prolific, makes the
greatest gains, provides the greatest
variety of food products, thrives on
the greatest variety Of foods and Or
dlnarily gives the quickest returns on
the investment. At the present time
nothing should be wasted. Why not
save the pig skin?

Value Of Entertainment
of SGGiers Proved When
Band Is Sent From u. S.

A letter recently received in this
country from Col. William Hayward,
former New York public service com.
missioner. illustrating the value Of en-
tertainment for soldiers, describes the
sensation produced in France by
negro band from the United States,
whose membership also included mu-
sicians from Cuba and Porto Rico. The
cost Of organizing the band and send
ing 1t to France was $4,000. which
was paid by Daniel G. Reid.
When subscriptions were being
raised Mr.. Reid was the first man
asked to contribute. He asked the to-
tai amount required, and when told
$4,000. he is said to have remarked: /:
''I1l pay the whole check"
The band is headed by Lieutenant
Europe, who before the war days con-
Quoted the orchestra Of the Forty
fourth street theater roof. Colonel
Hayward in his letter also said:
"A lot Of things are no fun, and one
year ago would have thought them
uncomfortable. But what heather we
will be when It Is all over! shall
not know how to act in polite society
or what to do with the ordinary para
phernalia Of civilization, like toilets,
baths, club chairs. Umbrellas are OBJ
solete. Do they still have them any
where? Rain means nothing but a
little bit-not much-Tdeeper mud.
Still nobody has any kick to squeal
about, and all hands are SO pleased
to think they weren't left at home out
of this beautiful party that optimism
reigns supreme. OF course we know
absolutely nothing about the war or
how it's going except In our own little
neck Of the woods, and really don't
care.
''Our band Is the most wonderful
thing over here. I don't believe any
money ever bought as much pleasure
and happiness for human beings as
did Daniel G. Reid's in this instance"

Leaps for life from burning observa-

servers of the British Royal Flying
corps to an Associated Press cOrre-
spondent when he visited one of their
camps behind the lines a few days ago.
A balloon ascent at the front is nev-
er light undertaking, and on one day
recently when the correspondent WIS.,
tied station in fairly inactive part
of the line six balloons containing II
men were shot down by German air
planes, all within sight Of one another.
One of the II officers who were COM
PEELED to reach terra firma by the para
chute route told the story of his trip.
1--WE were perched at $500 feet" he
said, "and had been up only half an
hour when column of smoke two
miles southwark attracted our notice.
'There goes No. 49," said my observer.
"Two white flecks floating earthward
told us that the two passengers of the
balloon had got clear In time. Just
then two similar specks appeared sud-
denly from under, another balloon
warning us that the Boche was out for
a wholesale killing this time. Six
more white specks now appeared. and,
since 1t was evident that the entire
line was being attacked, I gave the
order to haul down.

How many times have you failed?
Not all Of you, part Of you.
Yet you couldn't stop.
Neither can the world at war.
Russia Is reminder.
Where Is our personal organization

How much does ignorance hold us
back?
Are you surrendering confidence to
suspicion,
Is selfishness binding us to our
whole human duty?
Are we bedeviled with "cold feet"
and shot head?"
We say: "Poor Russia, or rotten
Russia" according to our sympathy or
our prejudice.
1--WE know how Russia feels, because
we've known discord and disorder In
our own hearts-before the steady
mind took firm control.
Russia is the worlds big example
In unfitness.
Don't blame Russia, but avoid Rus
sia's misfortune.
Let's study Russia and stop what
ever in us Is Russian disorder.
Russia is translating suffering into
strength, ignorance into wisdom, van
ity into sanity.
Probably doing the best she can;
blind and broken as she Is.
It Is easy to say: "Take out czar

1t is just as easy to say: take out

plane swooped down on II em, its ma
chine gun in full play. One of the Off.
GERS was killed, and, although the 9th.
er escaped, his parachute was torn by
q bullet
The balloon commander told the
story of an officer who had gone up
alone and whose balloon was shelled
when flying at 1000 feet. On these oc-
casions it is dangerous to hsul down,
for the position of the winch is thereby
given away to the enemy gunners. At
last, after cloud of shrapnel smoke
had appeared almost under the basket
and no response came down the tele-
phone wire to inquiries as to whether
everything was all right, the ground
officer gave the order to haul down.
Ten minutes later the car touched the
ground, and the observer was found
lying at the bottom of the basket, ,in-
conscious but unhurt. 1t was bad
case of shell shock, from which the
officer was several months in recov-
ering.
A few days ago, at q ccarby station,
balloon suddenly caught fire. for no
apparent reason. The two observers
tried to escape in their parachutes. but
the blazing balloon overlook them, and
they were killed. Theories as to the
cause Of the disaster were numerous,
but the one most generally accepted
was that the balloon had been fred by
an electric spark from a thunder cloud.
