One More Star.

Eight-year-old Jimmie is very patri-
otto. He has taught his three younger
brothers to sing America" 'eThe Star
Spangled Banner" and "Oyer There"
with great gusto. He has also taught
them to envy boy scouts, to reverence
war mothers and to respect all service
flags.
Recently new baby came to jim
mics home. The four boys had longed
for little sister, but the new arrival
was brother instead. Gloom reigned
through the entire household except
over Jimmie, who still smiled.
'You needn't be so mad" he scolded
his brothers. you're going to be
glad some day cause at the next war
he'll be just one more star In our serv-
ice flag"

Live Stock In Sweden.

According to the United States con-
sular service, I've stock in Sweden
has been decreasing. The census Of
1918 Indicates total of 2,5S0,000 cat
tie. In 1911 the total number was
100000. Hogs are now 634,000, as
compared with 100000 in 1911, or an
increase of about 30 per cent.
Sweden has not been in the war,
but she has been In sufficiently close
commercial relationship with Germany
so that the live stock conditions in the
two countries are probably somewhat
alike. We suspect that when a census
is finally taken in Germany 1t will be
found that sheep have decreased very
little, II any. There will doubtless bs
some decrease in cattle, but the de!
crease will not be SO very alarming.
The greatest decrease will of course be
in hogs, but this can be altogether
changed within the period of year
or two.
