OF the two Albatrosses one had

easily be fitted for flying again. Both
their pilots had survived, though one
was badly burned.
Their conquerors, we were told,
could be found at the flying field out
side the town, and very few minutes
thereafter it opened before our speed

one side by long low barracks; on the
other by camoufiaged hangers. In

In the crowd we found two Of our
crack fliers who had recently been

as fine bit Of luck as ever fell to a
correspondent.
'But lightning never strikes twice

used up all the luck that is coming

in on anything like that again."
He was, however, mistaken. Ma

ceptions, but he had no more than
said 1t before the lightning violated
all precedents and struck again

Of an American military policeman

He was not altogether joking. Mill

When the steamer Rochester was

HARDY PROVES THAT 1T
PAYS TO ADVERTISE

Nuy U. Hardy, newspaper man ant
congressman-elect from the Third Col
orado district, is man with the cour
age OF his convictions. AS proprietor
Of the Canon City (Colo.) Record h,
believes in the value of advertising
AS Republican candidate against Con
gressman Edward Keating he put thai
belief into practice. Now he is more
convinced than ever that advertising
pays.
On the face of the situation Mr.
Hardy appeared to be cherishing a for.
lorn hope. His opponent had been ir
congress six years. His last plurality
had been 9,O46. He appeared to be
strongly intrenched. The only hole in
his political fences appeared to be a
poor record in war legislation; this
had turned some of the Democrats
against him. In fact, Keating's vot-
ing record in Congress was so un-
American that the nomination of a
lO0-per cent American against him
quickly attracted national attention to
the Third Colorado district.
Hardy was pretty we'll known in his
district through his many activities.
He is president of the National Edi-
torial Association and and president of
the chamber of commerce. He was ac-
tive in all war work. But his congress
sional district is a large one; so he
set to work to inform every household
of himself and his candidacy and the
issue. He visited 18 of the % coun-
ties, travelling over 1000 miles by
automobile.
But Hardy relied principally on
newspaper publicity and advertising.
Probably no congressional campaign
was better advertised than his. Prac-
tically every newspaper in the district
and there are about 80-carried his
advertisements. The daily papers of
Pueblo, Cripple Creek and Trinidad
carried half-pages and full pages. All
the foreign language papers carried
large advertisements. These adver-
tisements were all paid for at regular
rates, but many of the papers were
exceedingly liberal with editorial and
news-column support.
Hardy also got out a lot of other
publicity, including a four-page, six
column sheet, the Congressional Bull
letin," full of the issues of the cam
paign. The issue was $4,000 copies.
This he distributed by carrier and by
mail and put into the house of prac-
tically every voter.
Result: A handsome victory instead
of forlorn hope.
81 certainly showed THAT l believe
in newspaper Advertising" says Mr.
Hardy in letter to the editor of the
Auxiliary, "and now | am more con-
vinced than ever that advertising
pays"

Increase in American Hogs Will
Help to Meet World Fat
Shortage.
FARMERS SAVE SITUATION.
Government Justified in Stimulation
of Pork roduction-SevenfoId
Increase Over Pre-
War Exports.

Through increased production and
conservation we will be able this year
to export seven times our pre-war
average exports of pork products.
With the heavy demands added in car
| ing for the millions who have been
freed from German oppression, the
Department of Agriculture and the
| Food Administration are justified to-
day in our every action of stimulation
of hog production In the coming year
the greatest world shortage will be in
fats, and pork will help to save this
situation. The efficacy of the policy
of stimulated production has built up
in this country supplies which will en-.
able us to supply very large part Of
the fat deficiency of the world. In
beef there must be a shortage in Eu-
rope, due largely to limited refrigera-
tor ship capacity All freezer ships
available, however, will be filed by
America, Argentine and Australia.
The contribution made by the pro-
ducers Of this country to the war pro-
gram as applying particularly to ami
nal food products is illustrated by the
following:
Reports compiled by the U. S De-
partment Of Agriculture indicate an
increase in cattle of 10,23S,0OO head
and 12,441,000 hogs. These figures
were compiled to January last.
In this period there was decrease
In sheep of $4,000 head The indica-
tions are that this decrease will show
an increase, according to recent re-
ports.
Since January l unofficial infOrma-
ton indicates an increase in hogs of
not less than s per cent and not
more than 10 per cent. as compared
with one year ago, with an increase in
the average weight.
Following the request of the U. S.
Food Administration for an increase
in hog production for marketing in the
fall of 1913 and the spring OF 1919 the
increase may yield not less than 1,6OO,-
100000 pounds more of pork products
than were available last year. With
out this increase the shipping program
arranged by Mr.. Hoover regarding an
imal food products would have been
impossible.
The dressed hog products during the
three months ending September 30
1917, amounted to 903, 200 pounds,
while for the corresponding months of
1918 the dressed hog products totaled
1,277, $4,000, an increase Of over 374,.
100000 pounds for the quarter.
During the same period for 1917 the
records Of inspected slaughter Of
dressed beef showed 1,263,00O,OO0
pounds as against 1,454, 600, 900 pounds
for the three month period ending
September l, this year.

MISSOURPS TASK
OF LOVE FOR HER
FIGHTING LADDIES

Reports from every county in Mis-
souri,, from New Madrid to Atchison
and from almost every city, hamle
and town, tell of the splendid organiza
tion effected to wage the work of rails
| ing the $7,50O,0O0 United War Worl
Campaign fund for Missouri November
Ills.
Thousands of workers are giyinf
freely of their time to make this or
ganization the most perfect evel
achieved for mission OF mercy
MissourianG, in the big cities and al
the cross roads, have been made ia
miliar with the purpose of the cam
paign. They know that more than ..
100000 brave Americans are fighting
on foreign soil for you and for me
They know that the battle has been
all but won--and the finishing stroke
Is only few days distant. They know
the great world war is practically over,
and that 1t was America, when the
rest of the civilized world was weary
or the struggle and almost exhausted,
that threw its millions of men and its
billions of dollars into the balance and
turned defeat into victory.
The result has been achieved by the
soldiers, the marines and the sailors
OF America. Missouri has given more
than 100000 of her bravest lads in
this cause. They have done their
work and done it well.
Now 1t is UP to Missouri to give that
her sons may be brought back to the
great Imperial State safe and sound.
The seven great welfare agencies, en-.
dorsed by the United States Govern.
ment, and personally recommended by
President Wilson and Secretary of
War Baker, will do this work that
you individually could not do.
Trained workers will visit your boy
and my boy over there. They will give
bodily and spiritual comfort. They
VIII give him books to read, books that
will improve and not degrade. They
will supply him with dainties that will
remind him Of home, and the boys will
know that all this comes from the
money that you give in this great cam.
paign that knows neither creed, nor
denomination, but has love and hui
manity for its base.
The amount of your subscription is
indicative of the love you have for
your own boy over there, or for your
neighbor's boy who is risking his life
Tor you and your country. 1t is a
for the reconstruction OF
the world, with guarantee that never
again will there be such a war as this
one that has staggered humanity and
that is now all but over.
