Finland. ...t. .. ''.. ..
Bohemia, Serbia, Roumania and
Montenegro have already reached the
famine point and are suffering a heavy
toll of death. The Armenian popula-
ton Is falling each week as hunger
takes its toll, and in Greece, Albania
and ROumania 81 serious are the food
shortages that famine is near. Al
though starvation is not yet imminent,
Italy, Switzerland, Bulgaria and Tur-
key are in the throes of serious strin-
gencies.
In order to fulfill Americas pledge
in world relief we will have to export
every ton Of food which can be han
died through u ports. This means at
the very least a minimum of 20, 900
tons compared with 6.O0O,OOO tons pre-
war exports and 11.S2O,OOO tons ex-
ported last year, when we were bound
by the ties of war to the European
allies.
If we fail to tighten the black sbots
on the hunger map or If we allow any
portions to become darker the very
peace for which we fought and bled
will be threatened. Revolt and anarchy
inevitably follow famine. Should this
happen we will see in other parts Of
Europe a repetition of the Russian de-
bacle and III fight for world peace
will have been in vain. .s.lrenar

Let us be frank about this matter,
Mr.. Politician. If you want to give
land to the soldier, start at once to
provide the cost of production plus a
fair profit for every mar who is now
tilling the soil. If by the Juggling of
the market, the re-establishment Of
speculation, the legal prosecutions Of
those who organize for the purpose
of getting cost of production, you
make it Improbable for the trained

A food map Of Europe today shows
not a single country in which the fu-
ture does not hold threat of serious
difficulties and only a small part which
is not rapidly approaching the famine
point. With the exception of the
Ukraine only those countries which
have maintained marine commerce
have sufficient food supplies to meet
actual needs until next harvest, and
even in the Ukraine, with stores accu-
mulated on the farms, there is famine
in the large centers of population. IS
Belgium and northern France, as
we'll as Serbia, appear on the hunger

because they stand in a different rela-

for four years maintained the small

France and is already making special
efforts to care for their increased

Of Serbia, must be included in this

work there. The moment the German

may also be used to treat hogs for lice.
For S they are diluted with water
in accordance with directions sup
piled by the manufacturers. Cresol

dips may be purchased at the drug
store.

effective than the ordinary stock dips.
1t is also destructive to lice. The vat
may be filled with the oil or half-flled
with water before the oil is added. If
one dipping does not effect a cure the
treatment should be repeated in one
or two weeks.
Use Of Crude Petroleum.
Owing to the great variation in the
composition Of crude petroleum from
different localities and the greater in
furious effects of some crude oils than
Of others. crude petroleum, if of a kind
not used before, should be tested on a
few animals before extensive treatment
is undertaken Animals treated with
crude petroleum should be provided
with plenty of shade and water. They
should not be dipped in oil in very cold
or very warm weather. One Of the
best varieties Of oil for use on live
stock is Beaumont crude petroleum.
and oils of similar composition are
more likely to be satisfactory than
those which vary widely from it. The
specifications are as follows: Specific

Another remedy for mango is lime

highly effective in destroying lice. It
must be used warm 600 degrees F.),
and the hogs should be dipped twice

dip, but clean and re-charge the vat

Tho destruction of vermin is of i'm
p~Ortance in the production of swine.
Practically all swine are infested to q
certain degree with the common hog
ouse, and unless the animals are freed
from this pest it is apt to retard their
growth. Although lice may not be the
1irect of death, still their pres
snce lowers the vitality of the hog and
DredispOses him to attack from. infec-
:iouS diseases. One of the first req
7isites in preventing an outbreak Of
cholera is to put the hogs in as perfect
\ physical condition as possible, and it
Is also obvious that the animals should
be Id perfect health in order to fatten
rapidly and economically.
Common Swine Pests.
Lice are common pests among swine,
and vigorous and persistent treatment
Is required to eradicate them. The
farmer should frequently examine his
hogs about the ears, TANKS, and insides
Of the legs to see if they are lousy.
The lice may be readily seen travelling
among the bristles, particularly in the
parts just mentioned. The eggs, or
''nits," are small white oval bodies at
tached to the bristles. Dipping does
not as q rule destroy the vitality of
these eggs. Swine should be dipped
repeatedly in order to kill the lice that
hatch out Of the eggs after the previ-
q dipping. These lice are blood
sucking parasites, and by biting the
hog and sucking blood they cause a
great deal Of skin irritation. Further
more. they act al a drain on the vital
ity If the hog, through the loss Of blood
which they abstract. When lousy the
hog is usually restless and rubs on
posts and other convenient objects.
The coat looks rough and harsh. This
pest is transmitted from one animal to
another by direct contact, or by con-
actawith infected bedding or quarters.
Mango, one Of the most ommOn of
skin diseases. Is caused by a mite
which reeds on the. skin. It Is much
moro common and severe on young
stock than on the older animals, al
though the mature animals as well as
the young are likely TO Become affected
if the disease Is introduced into the
herd Mango Is characterized by the
formation Of crusty scabs on the face
and neck and along the Back. ana ihsssess

ORPHEO THEATRE.

In addition to the feature picture with Constance Talmadge and Earle Foxe in 'The Honeymoon" and the musical comedy company of 12 people the Orpheo management has secured as special added attraction the Rus sell Dancing Models. The Little Rock Gazette has the following to say con- cerning the act, which is an accurance of real act of unusual merit:
 "On presentation of the vaudeville program last night RusselPs dancing models were we'll received in a beau tiful scenic novelty, "Visions of Splen- dor,' staged with their own special scenery and electrical effects. The act opens with pretty young ladies in a pretty ballet, Visions of Spain,' sur rounded by a tropical scene which is followed by Miss Nellie Russell in a Spanish tambourine dance. At the close of this number Sadia, beauti- full Arabian girl, appears in a whirl- wind dance in tropical scene of the far East, and closes her turn amid much applause. The next number is Spirit of the Tempest A storm ap- breaches with flashes of lightning. At this instant as though coming out of the fast moving clouds. Nellie Russell appears on large white globe and does pretty dance while rolling the sphere with her feet. As she is about to make her exit brilliant rainbow appears in the sky. Jessie Russell is next seen in Ballet of the Grotto. Many brilliant lighting effects take place in this classy number. The clos ing number is Visions de Art,' in which transformation scene takes place and before the audience is aware of the next surprise, the dancing mod els are seen in the distant background beneath a plush canopy in the most realistic scenic poses from paintings of art"

Those who have not experienced the horrors of war only know of it's ter TOTS by "hear-say," but even then it's bad enough.
 But terrible as death on the battle field may be, it has no more terrors than some other things, life of grinding, pinching poverty, for in- stance. Death amidst the roar and crash of battle is frightful, but death is at least mercifully the end. But to live and struggle on from day to day in poverty, possibly under load of debt, but little hope. just struggling along wearing the life away by inches, that takes courage and is enough to try the stoutest heart. The way to avoid this is by systematic saving. Our bank will do it's best to save YOU from a fate worse than the horrors of war.
