Hog Cholera Insurance

That fifty cents a year is mighty
cheap insurance against Hog Cholera
was the opinion expressed by mem
bers of the Cambridge Hog Growers
Association, Mr. ]. c. Phillips, presi-
dent, at meeting of the Club, held
in the County Agents Office, Thurs
day, April 8th. This has been the
cost to members of the Club for
maintaining a supply of hog cholera
serum for use ir emergencies during
the past year.
To promote and improve the hog
industry in Dorchester county, mem
bers voted that the Club should hold
regular monthly meetings, and DR.. E..
j. Mclaughlin, Of Salisbury, has
been obtained to give a talk on Hog
Cholera and Hog Production at the
next meeting, which will be held on
May 8. This talk will be illustrated
with lantern slides showing the man
ufacture of serum, up-to-date hog
houses and other matters of interest.
A discussion was held on ways Of
introducing better hogs into the
county, and a resolution was passed
to the effect that. 1--WE, the members
of the Cambridge Hog Growers Club,
consider that a Boys Pure Bred Pig
Breeding Club" would be of material
benefit to the hog industry of this
county, and we hereby pledge our
support to any such project"

BOARD NAMES $3.50
WOMAN LOWEST WAGE
Washington Conference Deems
That Sum Necessary.

Washington, April 14.-The first
wage conference held under the new
minimum wage law for women in pri-
vate employ in the District of Colum-
bia has reported a minimum wage OF
$3.50 per week.
This conference was organized In
March to consider the wages Of wo-
men employed in private printing and
publishing houses, and If its recon-
mendation is accepted by the minimum
wage board, as is expected, every wo-
man employed in such establishments
in the District Of Columbia must be
paid not less than $3.50 per week
after the decision goes into effect At
present, the board found, about 20
per cent of the women in this indus
try in the districts are paid less than
sis per week, and nearly half of them
aSa paid from So to So per week.
For learners, or apprentices, the
conference recommended rates of SS
for the first three months, 50 for the
second three months, $11 for the third
three months and S12 for the fourth
three months, the full wage of $3.50

200, 900 Month Die Of Hunger, Hoov-
er Says.
Paris, April 14.-Herbert c. Hoover,
the food administration, has issued a
statement with regard to the feeding
Of Russia.
The statement says in part:
1.-THE relief administration has car.
ried on a great deal of investigation
as to the actual food conditions in
Russia. The gravity Of the situation
cannot be overestimated. A very con-
servative estimate would indicate that
upward of 100000 people are directly
or Indirectly dying from the food short
age monthly at the present moment
and the situation is likely to grow in
intensity as the season progresses.
Under the distribution system rigid
ity enforced by the Soviet government
in the larger cities, the children have
the first priority on the food supply
by way of meal service in the schools,
which are open to children of all
classes. The red guard and workmen
have the second priority and the bour-
geois and intellectual classes, etc, re.
feive the remainder"

ARMY BELOW 2,OOU.OOO
Demobilization Rapidly Reducing the
Strenqth of u. S. Forces.

Washington, April 14.-Demobiliza-
ton has reduced the total strength of
the American army below 100000.
Complete reports to April announc-
ed by General March showed the ag-
gregate strength on that date to be
1,9SO,506
Since November IL, 6S6,114 men
have sailed for home, and up to April
8, 6O5,772 had been landed. There
have been returned to civil life 1,1O1,-
469 officers and men, so per cent of
the officers and 46 per cent of the men
who were in the army when the ar
mistice was signed. Discharge orders
now total 1,925,000
Comparing this progress with the
demobilization of the union army fol
lowing the civil war, General March
pointed out that the breakup of the
civil war forces occupied the war dc,
partment from May, 1868, to Novem-
ber, 1866, a total of 1,023,021 officers
and men of the volunteers being dis

Vienna Items

The situation around Vienna re-
minds us of that passage of Scripture
that reads, "There will be wars and
rumors of wars before the end OF
time" only instead of wars, it's mar
riages and rumors of marria ges. Let
the good work go on, we say.
Government control, or ownership
of Railroads, is not very popular in
Vienna, or at least with the fisher
men. They can only ship by express
once a day, at IL o'clock, or there
about. Fish caught in the afternoon
have to lay over until this time the
next day.

Greatest Bliss Is conoenial work.

There is no greater happiness In lie
than doing the work you love. 1t mat
tiers not what the work is--to some
women it is embroidery, or writing
book, or baby tending, or studying
chemistry, or cooking, or keeping
house polished. 1t does not always
happen that we have great ability In
the thing we enjoy doing-although the
chances are that this is so. For moth
ing stimulates you to continued effort
in piece of work more than the con-
sciousness that you do it well.
And so if you are unhappy genuine
ly unhappy-in the work you're doing,
try to find out what it is that you'd
prefer to do. If there is nothing else
in your mind, then perhaps your dis
content is only temporary. But If you
sincerely wish to do some other def
mite piece of work. you have legiti-
mate grievance and you owe 1t to
yourself to pave the way for new
shot at new occupation.

DEATH OF A FAMOUS. DUCK
Peggy Of Rouen, N. j., laid 325 Eggs
in Single Year, and Was Easily
Worlds Champion.

The. death of Peggy. the famous
duck of Rouen, New Jersey, comes as
q reminder to us that we would do
well to follow the principles which
guided the life of this excellent bird.
Peggy was celebrated in two hemis-
pheres as the champion egglayer OF the
world, the New York Evening Post
states. Peggy, in one year laid as
many as 325 eggs. Yet, celebrated as
she was. noted wherever eggs were laio
or scrambled, head Of her glorious pro-
fession, what was her attitude AFTER
we entered the war? Did she rush into
print, airing her opinion as to what
the president ought to do? Not at all.
Despite numerous tempting offers from
fowl fashions and other magazines
she RETAINED from utterance and con-
tinued contributing her daily drop to
national victory. Even when the Ger
mans opened their recent peace drive
Peggy did not turn hysterical and de
mand that they at once surrender all
the Strassburg geese. She. still in 81
Ience. went on with her lay< 1t is re
lated of her that on the morning OF mel
demise she quietly produced an egg
and, indicating her satisfaction WITT
a feeble quack. keeled over and e1
| pired.

NURSE HAD INGENIOUS IDEA
Surely II Use Of Makeup Was Ever
Justified, 1t Could Be Defended
in This Case.

A laugh is going the rounds over
the stunt pulled by one of the attend
ants at the orphanage who had waxed
enthusiastic in the work of finding
parents for her little charges.
On this particular occasion she hao
interested a young couple in three
months-old baby and they had prom
ised to call the following day with
view to taking the infant If she was
the dainty dimpled cherub the attend
!. ant said she was.
And in the meantime the baby con-
tracted a cold, which. on the day she
was to be inspected, had left her thin
and pallid. The nurse knew that the
child's chances for being adopted were
very slim.
Suddenly she hit on an idea. A lip
stick and a box Of rouge. The very
things to make the pallid Nancy into
a rose-faced cherub.
And so the fairy godmother, being
a sophisticated person, painted the
lily, and Nancy, with a complexion
like roses and cream, charmed hel
