 Secretary of War
 The presidents proclamation reffn- quishing control of the American Railway Express company was eouehed in practically the same. verbi- age as that in regard to the restora- tien of the railroads to their owners, except for: necessary substitutions.
 Director General Hines sent the following telegram tonight to all of fcers and employees of railroads fin federal control:
 The proclamation which the pres ident has issued fixes March 1 as the date for transfer of the railroads back to the possession and control of the railroad companies. I appeal to every officer and every .employe, to redouble his efforts to produce the best and the most economical lrailroad service pos sible during the remaining period of federal control.
 During the unusually heavy busi- ness of tie past few months and the eXtra6rdinary difficulties created by the coal strike. the officers and ern- ployes have done especially fine work. so that with more confidence than even before I express the hope that all of us will give the very best account of ourselves in this remaining period in our common interest, and in the public interest. I extend to all of my comrades in the railroad service; and their families, my sincere wishes for 2 merry Christmas and a happy New Year"

LANCASTER FAIR
Opens Tomorrow With Thrilling
Stunts by Daredevil Actors as
Headlines

That is the story of the big Lam
caster fair in a nutshell. The de-
tails merely emphasize the import
ance of the big attractions. Chefalo
has been a headliner at the Brockton
fair and no performer can have high
Ell endorsement. His act is called the
"loop the death trop loop" and it is
ten to one that you don't breathe
from the time he starts his thrilling
act until he has safely concluded.
Van Normand's act is equally as
thrilling He speeds down the incline
on his bicycle, loops the loop, and,
leaving his wheel, dives into tank
of water. Nevers' I'd Re. Band ar
rives early Wednesday and remains
throughout the fair, Miss Gertrudge
Van DENSE, concert artist of great
reputation will sing with the band.
Daley Brothers are as high priced as
any of the feature numbers and they
will give some new sport-fun on the
teeter board
Race Secretary Holden is confident
that the race program will be a Win
ner. He has $4,000 to dispense in
purses and the date is too early to
name the horses, but he is sure the
fields will be large ones. The society
offers a $500 purse in the fast race.
The races will be run on the last
three days of the fair. Will Berry
has a string of nine horses he plans
to enter in the races.

Handle, the pigs SO that they will

The modern hog is Matchmaking
machine of wonderful efficiency
where kept running smoothly and
evenly from birth to marketing.
When the pigs are about three
weeks old creep should be arrang-
ed where they can have access to
feeds away from the other hogs. The
best feed to use at this time is shell
corn in self feeder. When the pigs
are about six weeks old it is general
ly advisable to place another self
feeder in the Enclosure, in which
shorts, middlings, tankage, or fish
meal are placed. 1t is advisable not
to wean the pigs before they are ten
weeks of age or over. When the pigs
are weand gradually reduce tn feed
of tn SOW. This will have a tendency
to dry up the flow of milk and the
pigs will be. weaned and scarcely
know it. Give them access all the
time to the self-feeder containing the
above feeds. If this method is fol-
lowed they will notice practically no
difference at weaving time and will
never be stunted in their growth.
Jack Frost Foe
1t is more difficult to raise pigs in
the winter than in the summer due
to the cold weather as well as to the
fact that the animals have to be kept
indoors so much of the time. Ex-
IRENE variations in temperature arc
liable to induce colds and even cause
the development of pneumonia. The
careful breeder should practice every
precaution to protect his young pig
crop against disease. He should keep
plenty of charcoal before the hogs at
all times and should provide them
with condition powders~if necessary.
A charcoal mixture of one bushel of
charcoal, one bushel of hardwood
ashes, eight pounds of salt, four
pounds of air-slaked lime, four
pounds of sulphur and two pounds of
pulverized copperas makes a fine
mixture of mineral matter. The
lime, salt, and sulphur should be mix

regular pit or mound. A very sat
isfactory method is to pull the
plants, roots and all, and place them
in long pit, either on their sides
or with the heads down, then cover
lightly with straw and a layer of
earth. A few heads may be removed
from time to time without disturbing
the remainder Of the pit. Another
good method is to pull the heads,
roots and all, and set them side by
side, with the roots down, in shanow
trenches, making bed of whatever
size may be necessary. Around the
bed erect frame of rails, boards,
or poles, or by driving down row of
stakes so that an Enclosure about 2
feet in height is formed Bank the
outside of this frame with dirt and
placeplace poles across the top, COW
ering them with straw, hay, corn
fodder, or pine boughs. Make pro-
vision for cutting off the cabbage
heads from one end of the pit as
needed When the heads are cut,
leave the roots in position and in the
spring these roots will sprout| and
supply an abundance of greens.
A similar pit may be made for
celery, though the dirt should be
excavated to depth of about ID
inches. However, celery may be kept
until extreme cold weather in the
position where it grew by banking
enough earth about the plants to
hold the stems in a compact bunch
Just before freezing occurs bank the
earth up to the very tops of the
plants, almost covering them. As
the weather becomes colder, cover
the ridge with straw, corn fodder, oil
pine boughs held in place by stakes
or boards.

GOOD MANAGEMENT Lessons
DEATHS in FALL PIG CROP
Sows May Furrow Large Ltters, but Unless Growers
are Careful in Feeding, Handling, and Managing the
Young, Mortality Usually Is Heavy


If every farmer in the United
States who raises hogs-and approx
imately rs per cent of the six mil
lion seven hundred thousand odd
American farms do raise hogs
would increase mortality to the ex-
tent of 1 pig to the litter, the annu-
al increase in the crop of young
squealers would be 5,025,000 head.
If they were all raised and mar
keted at $50 pounds apiece, the year
ly increase in pork production would
be 1,256,250,000 pounds. According
to the United States Department of
Agriculture, experienced and careful
hog growers raise about pigs out
of each litter, while the average pork
producer raises only 4. Thus, be-
tween narrowing and marketing,
there is loss Of 3 pigse a litter on
the average farm.
Successful management of the fall
hog crop, as recommended by the
United States Department of Agri-
culture, involves careful 1eedlng OF
the sows previous to narrowing, COM
Portable sanitary quarters for the
dams during narrowing, careful at
tention not to overfeed the sows and
thus induce digestive disorders
among the young pigs, and efforts to
develop in the pigs large, bony
framework rather than fat. AIDE
quate housing which thoroughly shell
tiers the porkers, young and old,
against wind, rain, sleet, and snow

able investment.
Sanitary Surroundings for Sows
Dry, well-ventilated quarters which
have been disinfected and cleaned up
for the reception of the pig crop,
should be provided for every sow
which is to farrow. A guard rail,
made 2 by inch pieces set inches
from the sides of the pen and about
10 inches above the bed, should be
provided in order to prevent injury
to the pigs. An attendant should be
accessible, particularly in cold
weather, in order to assist the sow
and, if necessary, to rescue the pigs
from freezing. Before the pigs are
placed with their mother, the eight,
black, tusk-like teeth should be cut
off with bone forceps or wire nippers.
Care must be takento not injure the
jaw bone. Give the SOW plenty of
warm water after narrowing but do
not feed her for the first "a hours
unless necessary, and then provide a
thin slop of bran and middlings. The
sow should be fed lightly for the
next A or days and should not be
put on full feed again until the pigs
are about 10 days old. Aim to feed
the sow in such manner that the
pigs will develop rapidly and will

BETTER BREEDING HELPS

In dairying large production and
profit go hand in hand. Breeding
furnishes the most economical way
to obtain large producing cows. The
pure-fred bull, with generations of
high-producing ancestors back of
him, must be used for breeding, and
only the best heifers from the best
cows should be chosen to the dams
of the next generation.

Japan's Continental Ambitions

 Let it first be understood that the an- nexation of Korea by Japan in 1911 was an intolerable and unnecessary mistake
 The acknowledged protectorate which had
 existed in that peninsula as a result Of the Manchurian war of 1904-5 was all that
 was necessary to safeguard Japans strat- egic interest; and anything more than

 danger. It made Japan formally and per
 petually a continental power-that is.
 gave her an actual stake on the mainland
 of Asia, state of affairs which had never previously existed. It committed
 her to maintaining large garrison to overawe the Korean population, which was violently hostile. It invited her to extend this land empire under thinly con- cealed forms into southern Manchuria, by giving the railway system which she had captured from Russia special char acter, later accentuated by the connec- tions established with the Korean rail- way system, thus making a Chinese rail- way and Japanese railway one and the sa me entity It encouraged her to adopt, on the outbreak of the Chinese revolution and the disappearance of the Manchu dy- nasty. the doctrine that Manchuria must

THE MOST POPULAR
 MAN IN THE WORLD

". c. l.. in the Kiwanis Torch.
 History has given to mankind the rec ord of the achievements of many men, but careful perusal of its pages will show us that while there have been many men who have become famous for having done some one thing, there Is but one man who is famous as having None every thing.
 It's an enviable place in history-to be the one man who has done everything but one man has really done just that. As you think it over you will find that the statement is true, that just one man has done everything recorded on the long page of the worlds history. He did it, not because he wished to do it, but be- cause the other fellow did not wish to do it. You begin to see now who this wonder-worker is. Sure! You're right It's George
 No, not George Washington, who real ly did things; nor George Creel, who talks about them Just George. When the first-laziest- t-man-in-the-world invented that famous indoor and outdoor sport Of pass-the-buck, he made George the recipient of the honor for honor it was Think of the credit of having done al. of those things which come under the category of that much used and little considered expression, T et George do it.'' Why, fellows, to have the buck passed like that and then to go out and do it is the greatest honor in the world
 The ideals of thinkers and nations have most often been brought to a full accom- plishement. not by the first to propose the thing, but by George. As lAe as our own war, we find that the work fus been passed over to George in so many cases that George is coming into his own. The dollar-a-year man is George. The man in the trench is George The man in the shipyard is George. When we needed-or did not need-a new depart ment or bureau created, George was given the job When later an investigh- tion of that same bureau was needed, who investigated? You're right.
