fuge from the rising storm, Napoleon continued his march unopposed. Everywhere the royal troops locked to his standard. Near Lyons 0,O00 men came over to his side in body and on the twelfth of March he en- tered the city, and the center of France was in his control.
 On the following day Marchal Ney received a proclamation from Napo- leon. Before that, so Ney after ward testified during his trial for high treason, he was determined to op- pose Napoleon. The proclamation made such a powerful appeal that he signed it and joined Napoleon, his officers and men following him.
 The meeting between the two was an effecting scene. With tears in his eyes the man who had threaten ed to put Napoleon in an iron cage, now embraced him as his leader, and begged his forgiveness. The defec- ton of Ney and of practically the en- tire army involved the downfall of the monarchy. The throne of Louis XVIII. toppled and fell and the mon arch again became an exile.
 Without a single battle, without a blow, Napoleon found the way to Paris open to him. No conquering hero ever received a more enthusias- t1c reception than did Napoleon when he entered the French capital, and

ANNIVERSARY OF NAPOLEON'S MARCH
 THROUGH FRANCE

Napoleon Bonaparte, 103 years ago today, set out on a march which was destined to prove the greatest per sonal triumph ever scored by any warrior After landing in France after his return from his exile in FL ba, Napoleon and his thousand fol- lowers set out for Grenoble. On the eighth of March the Emperor began his march with an army of 1000, ey- cry man ready to die for his beloved leader. Seven thousand men, how ever, were not many with which to effect the conquest of great na- ton.
 On the very day that Napoleon be- gan his triumphal march toward Ly- ons, his former marshal, Ney, kissed the hand of his new master, the King, whom he promised to bring back Ronaparte in an iron cage" It was a brave boast, and Ney was probably very much in earnest, but he reckon ed without the power of old memor- ies and associations and the forceful personality of his former chief.
 While Ney was hastening to oppose the Emperor's advance and the frightened king was preparing re-

ECONOMISTS OF FRANCE STUDYING
 DEBT PROBLEMS

Paris, March S-French economists studying how the nation may raise the revenue necessary to carry it's debt burden and meet current ex- penses on the basis of a budget of 17,0OO, ,00O,O0 francs annually, at the end of this year, have arrived at an estimate of 4O,O0O,OOO,oOO francs as the net annual revenue of the French people in 1914. Economists, who were frightened at the end of the first year of the war by the growing war debt, appear now to consider the so- luton of the problem as less difficult tran they had dared to hope, though there is still an uncertain element in their calculations arising from the effect the war will have had upon the producing capacity of the country.

Vantaqes.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment Of Agriculture)
Some farmers favor hog wallOws;
others are strongly opposed to them.
Filthy hog WallOwS are Il source of
danger. Hogs wallowing I'm or drink
ing contaminated water are likely to
contract disease. However, there are
many advantages to be derived from
wallows. A cool bath is very cool
ing to q hog during the hot weather.
It cleans the scurf from the skin and
protects the hogs from flies. Crude pc
trOleum, sufficient TO form thin layer
on top of the water. may be poured
into the walloW about every ten days.
This will tend to keep the hogs free
from lice and other skin parasites. IF
the skin becomes irritated from the
oil, its use should be discontinued.
Small quantities Of coal-tar dip are
wallOws, but there Is nm element Of
danger in this practice, as poisoning
may result from the absorption of
phenol by hogs which lie in the wal
low more or less continuously.
On some Of the larger hog farms
wallows are becoming popular. The
cement hog wallDw should be located
in shady place and made so as to
contain from eight to. ten inches Of Wa
ter. A twO-inch drain pipe, as recon-
mended for the dipping vat. should be
placed in the bottom of the wallow to
permit its being cleaned out.
In many cases farmer is not finan.
cially able to build hog walloy or n
dipping vat. If this be the case the
dip, properly diluted, can be applied
with spray pump or sprinkling can,
" else rubbed on every part of the
body by means of q brush or swab
Of cotton waste.
Another method of controlling lice
is to tie gunny sacks or similar coarse
cloths around post ut a proper height,
so that the hogs may rub against them,
and saturate the sacks frequently with
crude petroleum.

IOWA DOES GOOD ROAD WORK
Lincoln Highway Official Is Pleased
With Progress-Each County Pre-
pairing to Aid.

That good work is being done in
The Improvement of the Lincoln high
way through Iowa is the assertion OF
Fl. G. Ostcrmann, field secretary of the
Lincoln Highway association. Mr..
Ostermann recently made II trip of in
spection through the Hawkeye state
and the results were more than salts
factory to him.
On his journey across the state the
Lincoln highway official was accom-
panied by u. Il. GOOdell of Tama, H.,
state consul of the Lincoln Highway
association, and Thomas II. MacDon-
Gld, J. w. Holden and II. G. Beard Of
The Iowa state highway commission.
Enthusiastic and well-attended Lin
coin highway meetings were held at
numerous points across the state;
splendid program of Lincoln highway
Improvement was revealed by the re-
ports submitted at these meetings.
Covering the most important develop
mCnts, Mr.. Ostcrinann states:
"Seventccn miles of the Lincoln
highway in Clinton county have al
ready been graveled with federal aid
funds; applications for federal aid
funds have also been made by Cedar
and POttawattamie counties, and sim
liar applications will be filed in the
immediate future by Linn, Tama. Ben
ron and probably Crawford counties"
\ Lincoln highway seeding mile Is
now under way in Linn county, and
existing arrangements call for the
complete crawling of all the rest of
the Lincoln highway in the county.
In Il similar fashion the plans in Mar
shall county call for the graveling of
every foot of the Lincoln highway
from county line to county line. Story,
Boone and Greene counties are prac-
tically all graveled at the present time
and an all-weather road is reported.
The visiting officials found that
Crawford county had spent more
money than any other county in the
state in grading the Lincoln highway.
Field Secretary Ostermann and
STATE Consul Goodel1 expect that by

and moderately short, and generally
refined appearance; yet Overrefinement
may indicate Il delicate constitution.
If q number of brood SOws are to
be used they should be uniform in
type. This is necessary to secure q
uniform lot Of pigs. 1t is very unsat-
isfactOry and unprOtitable in breeding
TO have filters of pigs varying in APP
pearance and lacking uniformity. To
insure uniform result it is advisable
to select from well-established strain
of hogs.
AS was Indicated in the case Of the
SOW, both parents have practically the
same influence on the quality of the
offspring; however, the male has the
greater influence on the entire herd
since every pig is sired by the male,
whereas all pigs do not have the same
dam.
While too much stress cannot be
placed on the Importance of the SOW,
if possible the male should be superior
to the SOW. Regardless of the type Of
the SOW, poor male should never be
used.
Secure q pure-bred animal of good
strain. The masculine characteristics
should be strongly developed, especial
~ in the head and neck; the back

Standard poultry, as the phrase is
commonly used in America, is poultry
bred to the standards established by
the American Poultry association. The
object Of making Standards for poultry
is the same as the object Of making
standards of weight, volume or quail

Plans for the permanent marking Of
the route across the state were dis

Is William G. Albrecht, of Balti-

coin of the realm which he put up as
security for the payment of fines i'm
posed in 1912 by the Circuit Court
for Anne Arundel County upon Joe
Barrett, former prize fighter and we'll
known sporting man of Baltimore
after Barrett had been found guilty
of violating the local option law of
the county? This is a question TO be
settled some time during the legisla-
tive proceedings of the House OF
Delegates today.
Woven in with the proposition of
Albrecht's right TO a legislative di-
rection to Anne Arundel County that
a bond be refunded to him there came
yesterday afternoon charges that the
court records of Anne Arundel are all
wrong. Mr.. Wise, father of the bill TO
refund TO Mr. Albrecht the money the
local court declared he was liable for
when Barrett did not pay his fine,
backed up by League. contended that
Albrecht had entered into bond for
the production of Barrett before the
court The facts as disclosed by the
records in the Court House here are
that Barrett was found guilty in nine
cases and nearly one thousand dollars
in fines and costs were imposed upon
him He did not have the money and
Albrecht went bond for the payment
of the fines and costs within sixty
days.
He produced" Barrett before the
court within the prescribed time, but
Barrett was still shy the necessary
money, but willing to serve time in
the local Jail The Court said it
wanted the money not Barrett, where
upon there was a second case which
eventually went to the Court of Ap-
peals, and was there decided in ia
vor of the county. Then came the bill
to compel the county to refund to AL
brecht the money, and it nearly got
through before being recognized by
the Anne Arundel members. Immedi-
ately Delegate Linthicum had it made
special order for yesterday when
Chairman Melvin, of the local delega-
tion. led the fight TO kill the measure.
He succeeded in having it referred to
the Anne Arundel members with the
agreement that the court records will
be produced today to show the claim
an unjust one.
