shame,


But the devil told him it was too late,
That God had left him as a .reprobate.
His wife too, saw she had done wrong,
Until the whole family had no name.
And then she did on many a time,
The man saw the error of his way,
And on Bonded knee began to pray.
And that she was travelling with the
devils throng.
So for poison, she went to the store,
And on her return, drank it down, and
was no more.
The daughters all wept in sorrow,
For they saw their neighbors looked
on them with horror.
Then went to the slums in manner
bold,
. Where they found the world both cruel
and cold.
They looked back to the days when
| they were young,
And thought of a sweetheart's love
they'd heard sung.
| They blamed their mother for it all,
For she was the cause of their down
ward fall.
They saw the happiness of their girl
hood chums,
And realized that they themselves
were downcast buns.
They lamented in sorrow and cried,
| And said their mother had lied.
For they could have been married
and at home,
| But now they were in shame, with no
| where to roam.
And friends, they had none at all,
For all knew of their hell-bound fall.
Soon they died and went to pauper's
grave,
For no one attempted their lives to
save.
The negro who drove the pauper-
wagon grey horse,
dad neither conscience or remorse.
The sons Of the family scattered from
place to place,
tor they were ashamed to look any
one straight in the face.
-l-nd soon they all went pell-mell,

Ihe old man looked back and saw he
caused it ALL
and beat out his own brains with a
hand-maul
they buried him in goods box on

For his memory they wanted to hide.

Producers Responded Nobly
When Demand Was Shown

CATTLE AND HOG FIGURES.
Government Justified in Pork Policy
Which Nc'" Provides Chief Srp-
Fly to Lieet Three Billion
Pound Fat Shortage.

In line with the general plan of con-
servation formulated by the U. S. Food
Administration immediately following
the entrance OF the United States into
the war the contribution made by the
meat producers of this country to the
war program is of particular signif-
canoe. as it demonstrates the hearty
cooperation accorded the Food Adj
minis:rat:cn by the III at producers OF
the country.
According to reports of the q. S.
Department of Agriculture, there was
an increase in cattle of &c, 23S 900 head
and 1H.441 eco hogs, these figures COM
piled to JarUary l last. In the same
period there WAS decrease OF SIS, 900
head of sheep, but Indications are this
decrease will show an increase follow
ing the latest reports.
Since january 1 unofficial informa-
ton indicates an increase in hogs OF
not less than eight per cent. and not
more than fifteen per cent. compared
with enc yccr: ego, with an increase in
average weight.
Following the request Of the Food
Adnlinistrc ion for increase in hog
production for the fail of 1918 and the
spring OF 1o19~the increase may yield
not less than. LOCO, OoO,O 900 pounds
more of pork products than were
available last year. Without this in
crease the shipping program arranged
by Mr.. Hoover regarding animal food
products would have been impossible.
Fhe dressed hog products during the
three months ending September 80,
1917, amounted to 903, 1T2, 900 pounds,
while for the same months of 1918 the
production was 1,2?7.5S9,O 900 pounds.
an increase of over 314 100000 pounds
for the quarter.
During the same period in 1917 in
spected slaughter records of dressed
beef showed 1,263, 100000 pounds as
against 1854, 100000 pounds for the
three month period ending September
I, this year.
We must increase our meat ship
ments, especially our pork products,
to meet the added demands of the mil
lions liberated from German oppreS-
sion. And at the same time we must
look forward to the rehabilitation OF
the European meat herds. The policy
which guided our meat program in the
past year has been fully justified, for
only the heavy pork production which
1t has brought about will enable us
even partly to satisfy, the increased
demands on us for the coming year.
There Will be world shortage in fats,
and it is to the United States that Eu-
rope must look to supply its dehcien-
cy. At the same time there will con.
tinue to be heavy demands for beef.
Owing to the'limited refrigerator ship
ping capacity European imports Of
beef for some time will be limited.
