teen county school houses and fed
on the waste the lunch baskets sup
plemented with some corn brought
in the pockets of the boys each morn
ing. The total amount of the sale
was $14S5.00 One of the hogs sold for
$4,000.
In the fall Of 1917 fourteen grade

schools collected the waste fr0m the
lunches each day and fed it to the
pig The boys took turns bringing an
ear of corn from home and one who
lived near fed and watcred the pig on
Saturday and Sunday.
In the spring Of 1913, the fourt zen
pigs were sold at auction at the c0un.
ty site for $59000, which was divid-
cd among the schools and used for
improving buildings and grounds
Last fall the county superintendent
of schools appeared before the board
Of education and secured from them
funds with which to purchase four
teen purebred pigs. The county agent
was given the job of securing the
pigs and delivering them He also
instructed the scholars in the feeding
and care OF the pig. All of the pigs
with but two exceptions were fed on
lunch basket waste and corn. The
two exceptions were fed sC@.e milk
and peanut cake. The pigs gained ON
an average 61.S per cent.
At the end Of the school term a
few day ago the pigs, not grown to
hogs, were carried 10 the county site
where an auction sale was held after
the fashion Of the previous year. The
total sum realized was $l4S5.000 The
amount borrowed from the school
board was $292.5O, which has paid as
soon as the sale was over. The re-
mainder will be devoted to the i'm
provement of the fourteen school
buildings and grounds
The interesting feature of the sale
was the spirited bidding and eventual
purchase by some individual in
the community in which the pig
was raised This was induced by the
young people of the school who had

Fer the lnvaIid's Comfort.

Were you ever at your wits end 10
know what to take or send as little
gift to break the monotony for some
friend who had for the time to under
go the boredome of lying i'll in bed?
The easiest and in some cases the
most appropriate choice is always
flowers. But in some hospitals there
is a prejudice against flowers in the
sick room, and when one has already
enough flowers to make ones room
look like florists show window there
can be no great comfort in any more
posies. It is then that the sick per-
son is grateful for little gift that
has some originality in its selection.
Why not make your gift a radium
watch? For the convalescent there is
enormous comfort in wearing watch
of this sort on the wrist at night.
This makes the exertion of finding out
what time it is very slight, and it is
the way of persons i'll in bed to wish
TO watch the hours as they pass. And
it is infinitely more satisfactory to
learn the time of night by simple
glance at ones wrist in the dark than
to lie awake listening to the next
stroke of the bells on some distant
church clock.
For the person able to write with
fountain pen such as those sold for
the boys in the trenches when the
boys still We're in the trenches. is a
good suggestion. There is little

next world press congress has been
called to take place at Sydney, New
South Wales, Australia, November II,
1919, the first anniversary of the sign
ing of the armistice which ended the
hostilities in the world war The date
was decided by DR.. Walter Williams Of
Missouri, the president Of the con-
gress, now in Toxic. and was agreed
upon after the receipt by him of a
cablegram from William A. Holman,
premier OF New South Wales
The Press Congress of the World

four countries in it's membership.
Owing to the war the 1918 session ar
ranged for Sydney was postponed I'M

The secretary-treasureF of the con-
gress is A. r. Ford, the president OF
the Dominion Press Gallery at Otta-
wa. Canada. Each nation has two
vice presidents.
In his cablegram to DR.. Williams,
Premier Holman said: THE victorious
end of the war reminds me of the
great services the press has rendered
in promoting and fostering that splen-
did international harmony of peoples
and of principles that alone made
victory possible. I look to the early

bodice is narrow. simple and wrapped
at the waist in that shapeless way
that is quite shapely. The snort
sleeves have drippings OF black race
at the back to soften their fatheF
harsh outline. The tunic is made with
long loops of material after a faShion

last August as a new method or drap-
ery. The underneath skirt is as mar
row as those worn in Alexandra

There were those who thought that
the tunic would go out of fashion be-
cause 1t had given long and faithful
service, but the gowns that are gong
south give no evidence of the tunlc'
withdrawal. 1t is fashioned in a doz-
en- varying shades, but there is a
likelihood that the usage of many
breadths of broad ribbon which drop
from the waist and are tucked under
at the knees will become a leading
fashion. It, like SO much else today,
is strikingly oriental.

GUESTS OF LONDONERS
U. S. Sailors Make a Strange Pic

ence of the Associated Press).-Seven
hundred American biuejackets were
nightly the guests of the people of
London after the armistice was
signed and they could be spared from
the duty of chasing submarines for
look at the city.
The hotels were so crowded that the
only bedroom the city could offer the
sailor boys was some vaulted hall in
a public building. The favorite sleep
ing place was the handsome building
known as the Law Courts. where the
Strand joins Fleet street. a central To-
cation. Here, as the Chronicle de-
scribed it. 'Uncle Sam tucked himself
to sleep in the Great Hall"
1t was strange picture these sail
or lads made. lying comfortably in
the room where British justice had so
long been administered. But they
were not Impressed with the dignity
of their surroundings. One corner
they dubbed the divorce court" One
of their more dignfied members they
dubbed the lord chief Justice"
Laughing and joking they made the
great DuIIuifS ring win their lull-

a darn sight more stable than de-
stroyer," remarked one to his mates
as they ate their breakfast. And the
rest agreed.

American Red Cross had been hard
put to find quarters for the boys, ten

Cards were hastily printed and dis
patched to the stations where the
sailors were expected to leave their
trains. Each card clearly explained
how the Law Courts could be reached
and in addition told the story of the
building from the time the corner
stone was laid. AS the sailors en-
tered, each man was told to sign the
register, with his home address, and
it is the purpose of the officers to
have these registers bound and placed
among the archives of the Law
Courts.
The movement for the entertain
ment of the Americans also included
the use of Westminster Hall in the
Parliament building If it became nee
essary.
