TRIBUTE TO HERO
F. H. Simonds Eulogizes Col. Ray
nal C. Boiling.
Services of Aviation Expert, Beforu
His UntimeIy Death, Were of the
Greatest Value to the Coun-
try He Loved.

The men whom we could least spare.
and there are none we would willingly
spare, are the men who are giving
their lives to stem the fury Of the
German onslaught, writes +. III.
Simonds in American Review of Re
views.
1t is this thought which must be
in the mind of all who knew Col
Raynal c. Boiling, dead to the enemy
In the early days Of the great Ger
man offensive in March. Among all
the Americans who felt and foresaw
the coming of this war 10 our own
country, none with clearer vision or
more instant response set himself 70
the task, alike Of preparing himself
and of striving to persuade his fell
low-countrymen 10 prepare them
selves. He chose for his work the
aviation branch and for the three
years, while the war was still remote
and meaningless to millions of people
on this side Of the Atlantic, he de-
voted his life TO study and TO practical
training in flying.
When at last the war came, no
American of his age counted greater
material success or was richer in the
things men sacrifice for an ideal, than
Colonel Boiling. General solicitor for
respected and honored I'm the legal
profession for his attachments and
his promise, recognized as the one
whose influence and power for use
fulneSs in the future was to be great,
happy In a home which gave him all
that man can hope to receive on
this side of his life, Colonel Boiling
laid aside all of these things to re-
spond to the call of his country, not
only willingly but ready trained for
practical service.
For those who knew him and loved
him the tragedy Of his death,
death which all who knew his daring
to every challenge of danger and diff
ficulty foresaw, does not lie in the
fact that he met the death he ex-
pected and they expected for him.
Rather it is found in the realization
that a man who might have done so
much more in aiding his country and
his countrymen to prepare for the
real struggle, whose services were so
essential, whose loss was so irrepar-
able on the practical side has been
lost to us at this grave hour.
Colonel Boiling did not die before
he had done much which will count
in the future and will be q portion OF
the history of American organization
for the conflict.

Qrioin Of "Crdter.~

The word crater" from the hole
made by a mine and afterward fought
for, has thoroughly established itself
in the language Of the trenches. 1t is
highly obvious and inevitable borrow
ing from the volcano.
But the volcano itself took the word
FROM the original "crater''-the mix
ing bowl (from the verb meaning TO
Mix, in which the Greeks from the
earliest known times, mingled water
with the wine that they seldom cared
or dared TO drink neat.
These craters, which stood In con-
spicuous positions in the hall, were
often of huge size. and the resem-
blance to them of the volcanoes orifico
struck all ancient observers. who used
the word "crater" in the modern vol
canic sense.

Marked Variation in Yield
Of Income and Profits for
Different States This Year

Wide variation in the yield of in
come and excess profits taxes in differ
ent states this year, as compared with
income tax payments last year, was
shown by tabulatiOns of the internal
revenue bureau at Washington. Eight
times as much revenue was received
from these sources this year as last
in the entire country, the comparative
figures being S2,S21 100000 and $780,
100000, yet the increases by states
ranged from 90 times for Idaho, Utah
and Montana to 10 times for MISSISSIPPI
pi, Alabama and West Virginia New
York state ranked first in the volume
of income and excess profits taxes re-
turned this year, yet the increase over
last years yield was only 5 1-3 times.
Tax officials, it is said, have found it
impossible TO draw definite conclusions
concerning tax evasions from the tab
ulatiOns.
Increases by other states were as
follows:

DISTRICT ENRICHED
BY CHEESE FACTORY
Prosperity Brought to Isolated
Community in Southeast.

prepared by the United States Depart.
ment OF Agriculture)
Cheese making Is transforming many
isolated mountainous districts of the
southeastern states into prosperous
farming communities. For many years
the remoteness of these districts ana
the lack Of ready communication with
the outside world has retarded agri-
cultural development. An interesting
story Of the rapid development Of
small cooperative cheese factories
which, with the Improvement of cows,
appears to point the way to financial
and industrial independence, is told In
Yearbook Separate 1877 Of the United
States department of agriculture.
The first cooperative factory in this
section was put into operation in the
spring of 1915 in a mountainous Sec
ton of North Carolina. On June a
small building only IA by 16 feet was
built and equipped at a cost of only
$500 and opened for business. Before
the end of the year this modest factory
returned to its patrons almost $1,000, q
net gain of more than $1,000, because
the total income for the sale of butter
in the community previous to the es-
tablishment of the cheese factory
averaged less than $500. About six
weeks after 1t was established another
factory, built and equipped at a cost
Of 1915, was started In a neighboring
community and was conducted with
equally good results.
The first factories were established
with difficulty because of lack of in
terest among the farmers, but after
the profits began to roll in 1t was i'm
possible to meet the demand for as
sistance and no solicitation was need
ed to induce the people to put up new
factories. The first year the factories
were opened, about $500 worth of
cheese was made and sold. In 1916, &c
factories were established in North
Carolina, Virginia, Tennessee and West
Virginia. During last year $4,000
worth of cheese was made in North
Carolina alone, and the "a factories
then in operation in the states men,
toned produced cheese which sold for
more than $125,0O0. The cost of oper-
alton. says the publication, added to
what the farmers would probably have
received from the milk If there had
been no cheese factories, would amount
to about one-fOurth of the gross re-
ceipts. Therefore, three-fourths of
this amount, or little more than $780,
600. was newly created wealth.
The effect of the increased income
from the mountainous farms has
brought about a higher standard of
living. Farm houses have been re-
modelled; roads improved; better farm
equipment introduced, and more in
terest has been taken In educational
work of all kinds. Though some high
grade cows have been purchased and
brought into the section, the greatest
progress in dairy improvement is
shown by the better care and more
skillful feeding of the COWS already
at hand. The introduction of cheese
factories, the publication says, is only
the first step forward, but they fur
nish the financial support for the
movement which is slowly but certain
ly bringing prosperity to these south
ern mountain districts.

Good Type of Individual Hog House
This House Has a Number of Win.
dows and Doors Which Can Be Open
ed to Provide Ventilation When
Weather Conditions Permit.


Weather Conditions Permit
quarters. Cement makes a satisfactory
floor, but in colder climates must be
covered with wooden false floors. A
good floor makes it much easier to
keep the house clean. The arrange
ment of the house should be such that
the beds and feed floors are well sep
arated.
There are two general classes of
houses-large community or station
airy, and small individual or movable.
The large house has individual pens
and Is intended for quite a number of
hogs. The advantages of the large
house are: 1t Is more economical for
large number of hogs; it is conven-
lent for feeding and affords provisions
for saving manure. If the house is to
be quite large it is usually advisable
to arrange the pens in two rows with
an alleyway between them. The alley
should be to feet wide unless it is
desirable to have space for the pass
Ing Of wagon. In that event the al
ley should be 8 to 10 feet wide.
Individual Hog House.
The individual house, as the name
suggests, is intended for enc hog or
for a sow and her brood. One decided
advantage Of the individual or portable
house is that it can be moved from
place to place and can thus be kept
sanitary and made accessible to pas
lures. There are two general styles of
individual houses, namely, the box
shaped with four upright walls and
the A-shaped. The dimensions should
be 6 feet by 10 feet, or feet by s feet.
Wooden floors are good, but not neces-
sary. The floor should be higher than
the outside level of the ground, to in
sure dryness. All houses should be
sufficiently high to permit the attend
ant to move about them with compare
tive freedom. By placing tenders on
the walls few inches from the floor,
individual houses may be used for far
rowing pens.
When a number of sows are kept on
q farm ii may be desirable to have
regular narrowing pen. A small house
provided with tenders serves as a far
rowing pen. Tenders may be made of
z by 6-inch scantling and firmly attach
ed to the walls of the pen some 6
inches above the floor. The object of
the fender is to prevent the SOW over
lying young pigs.

A WATCH IN THE NIGHT

"Rumors clash from the towers:
The clocks strike different hours:
The yanes point different ways.
Through darkness leftward and right
Voices quaver and boom,
Peahng our victors praise,
Tolling the tocsin OF DOOM"
"Optimist, what of the night?''
Might is over and gone;
See how the dawn marches on,
Triumphing, over the hills.
Armies of foemen in flight
Scatter dismay and despair,
Wild is the terror that fills
War-lords that crouch in their lair"
"Pessimist, what of the night?"
"Blackness that walls us about:
The last little star has gone out,
Whelmed In the wrath of the storm.
Exhaust,ess, resistless in might,
The enemy faints not nor fails:
laundering, swarm upon swarm,
He sweeps like a flood through the
Wales"
''Pacifist. what of the night?"
I'VE hear the thunder afar,
But all is still where we are;
Good and evil are friends.

War and morality cease,
And the moon with the midnight blends
In perennial twilight of peace"
