A Chance for Real Men

Two hundred trained men to aid in recreational work for convalescing American soldiers, sailors and ma rines in some fifty reconstruction hospitals in the United States are needed at once by the American Red Cross.
 Fifty band and orchestra leaders, structors. and fifty men to promote indoor and outdoor games, are being sought
 The number of wounded American fighting men in this country is grow ing rapidly and the recreational ac- ice of the Red Cross are increasing propotionately. This activity is de- voted largely to helping the conya- lescents to entertain themselves. Amateur theatrical and musical or ganizations are hard to find. The American Red Cross. through it's Blu reau of Camp Service, is doing this work in cooperation with and under the supervision of the office of the surgeon general of the army.
 Men qualified to give this service are greatly needed in the camps in service is vital to the health ana happiness of our sick and wounded soldiers. It is not only work that is interesting and of the highest value from a humanitarian standpoint, but it is remunerative. A man of quali- fications will be paid well. Appli- cants for this service should apply to MT. Elmer Donnell, Director of Camp Service for the Southwestern Division. 1129 Frisco Building, St. Louis, Mo.
 Fraud!
 A warning to soldiers families, FRAUD! The very latest type of fraud which has been called to our attention by one of the home service sections in the Southwestern Divis- ion is the offer of some eastern organization (name unknown) to bring back the bodies of the de- ceased members of the American expeditionary forces in France, at the rate of $1O per body. This com pany evidently is writing to the faml- lies direct and is suggesting that the 1 $10 be enclosed by return mail. l wish to warn all soldiers families against such a practice and to ad' ,lse them that this question can De taken up only with the government through the office of the adjutant general.

This is the true story, the cause Of the

Profit In Hogs.

Spokane, Wash.-An experiment
in hog feeding was recently completed
by J. w. White, Spokane business
man who has a farm on Moran
prairie. He purchased l43 swine at
the Union Stock yards and fed them
seven weeks to a day TraDsporta-
ton charges both ways were charged
against the experiment, every mouth
full of feed consumed was purchased
and the animals were fed on dry lot.
Seven hogs died from heat prostration,
and II piggy sows were sold at cost.
He bought the herd at 18l cents per
pound aud sold the herd at a price
which netted 81 ,070 for the expert
ment. Having obtained these results
under the conditions as described,
Mr.. White naturally concludes that
under the more favorable circumstan
ces which most farmers would
operate uDder, as to feed, transporta
tion. ETC., the prospect for excellent
returns from pig fattening art
exceedingly bright.

LARGE APPLE CROP
Prospective Yield In Idaho
1000 Cars.

According TO the special July com
mercial apple crJp report OF the
federal bureau Of crop estimates the
outlook in Idaho indicates 500 cars
10 excess Of the bumper crop Of 1917,
or some 1000 cars. Last years
production was only about 500 cars.
Payette- Weiser district is estimated
at about $500 cars, the Boise Valley
district 500 cars. Twin Falls district
400 cars, and Lewiston district $50
cars. New acreage coming into
bearing and greater age Of bearing
trees are responsible for the very
heavy crop promised this year.
Conditions in the western states.
or boxed apple region, continue
favorable and practically every
important apple state west Of the
Rocky mountains promises the
largest crop 10 its history. The
total production Of boxed apples
forecasted is approximately 29.000,.
600 boxes as compared with the 81,
000,0 box crop in 1918 and the
20, 100000 box crop Of 1917. The
quality and size Of the fruit are
generally reported as excellent.
Washington will probably lead all
states in commercial production by a
large margin, the outlook being some
l4,625, 900 boxes.
The middle west, particularly
Missouri, shows an increase over
1918.
The New England states have very
good prospects, while the Iniddlt
/ Atlantic regions, Including Pennsyl.
vania, Maryland, the Virginias, New
jersey and Delaware, have on tht
whole about 20 per cent less thar
last year.
