There was once small hut mighty
nation. now numerous as the sands Of

poet. and they made him the poet Of
all time. They took him and taught
him all they knew-and they had
great things to teach; and when. at
their command. he made great dramas.
they stood NJ his elbow; and every
thing they gave him he gave back to
them tenfOld.
England was then Shakespeare's

The poet Is always amongst us; the
difficulty Is how to find him; he is like

But one thing is certaIn-Iogicians
without love viii not find him: they

MUNICIPAL PORK

Pork and municipal water sys-
tens have not always been strangers
in the past. But there is a new con.
nection between the two in San
Diego, Cal.
San Diego is constructing a huge
dam which is to be the basis of its
future water supply. There is of
course large corps OF workers. This
construction gang eats 19,5OO meals
a month. That necessitates a good
sized mess house and results in a
large amount of garbage.
1t occurred to an engineer interest
ed in the work that the garbage pile
at the dam held possibilities for good
for the city, so he went about secur-
ing a lot of young pigs in behalf of
the municipality. These shoats have
now become regular porkers. A
number of them have even been con-
Verted into bacon. In one year the
sale of pork products has paid the
entire cost of running the mess
house at the construction camp and
has netted the city a profit of ST.
177.0S besides. Says the proud en-
gineer who suggested the scheme,
Give those porkers time, and well
pay for the whole water system, dam
and all"

GREAT SHORTAGE

Remove Restrictions ON Importation
of American Autos; U. s. Cars
Win Favor With English

London, Oct. 9.-Premier Lloyd
Georges announcement OF the sus-
pension of the board OF trade licens-
ing restrictions on the importation
of American automobiles was the re-
suit of an increasing preference on
the part OF English motorists for
the American ears quite as much as
the urgency OF Increased motor
transport to supplement other means
of conveyance.
Formerly in England there was
considerable prejudice against Am
Ierican made motor cars. This pre-
judice is now ascribed either to
ignorance OF their true worth or to
sno6bery. One contributor to Brit
ish motor trade journal declares:
Quite honestly. there is no bet
ter value for money in the motor
world than the average American

AT the present time there is a
desperate shortage of motors in this
country. Our own manufacturers.

which they have no control, are un-
able to meet the demand and so. to
some extent. We benefit Immediately
by importing motor vehicles from the
United States.
AT the same time. the fat re-
mains that the American factories

even their own demands, yet they
are willing to keep their own market
short in their attempt to consolidate
and increase foreign markets. There
is ample food for thought in this
fact"

LENDING TO CHILDREN

Banks in many parts of the coun-
try have been lending a good deal
OF money TO boys and girls in the
last two or three years. 1t is re-
ported that Mississippi banks lent
$40. 900 TO these youthful borrow
ers in 1918. Kansas banks lent
$4,000 to children in that state.
This financial role is new one
for the children. But according to
all records the youngsters are prompt
in meeting payments. fulfilling their
obligations with a keen sense of
honor. One banker said that out of
1000 such loans there had not been
a single piece of bad paper.
What do the children do with all
that money? They buy seed corn.
pure-bred pigs, calves and other
livestock. BY this time it is easy to
guess that these boys and girls are
members of farm clubs and that they
will not always be borrowing. Once
their way is we'll launched, their
club activities soon become self-sup-
porting. then paying businesses.
Many of those children, members
Of the farm clubs organized and di-
rected by the United States depart
ment of agriculture, are raising bet
ter live stock and farm products than
their parents did. They are max
ing good" with modern farming
methods and doing something really
worth while which, almost any boy
or girl will tell you, is lots more fun
than getting into mischief or des-
troying things.

NATURE TELLS US
WHEN TOPLANTCROPS

Washington, Oct. S.-The problem
of making agricultural superstitions
into scientific data is being studied
by experts of the department OF az
riculture. who declare that many old
maxims handed down from father to
son for generations are not really
.superstitions at all. but helpful in
formation discovered by keenly OBJ
servant persons.
Everybody has heard some OF the
old maxims. They deal with every
variety OF agricultural operation.
Bean planting, for instance. never
was done by the forefathers of the
present generation except at the time
OF the blossoming OF the blackberry
bushes. When the catkins had form
ed on the maple trees. II was a sign
from nature that early gardening
might commence. And toward the
close OF the season, warning Of frost
was given by the maturing OF cockle-
burs.
Now. the department OF agricul-
ture declares that there is best
time for every farm and garden
operation and that some tree or
shrub or plant indicates that time
more accurately than all the scien-
tific instruments can register it.

URGES BRITAIN TO BUY

London. Oct. S-Instead of buy

Sir Charles G. Wade. agent general
for New South Wales, to buy food
from the British Dominions.

arming power OF the league OF ma

self-interest demands that we shall
insure a constant supply Of raw ma

rather than be at the mercy of the
changeable good will OF a foreign
nation.
Our export trade again is serious

lies. Already the United States and
Japan have made heavy inroads into
British supremacy in the East. Both

from an epidemic of increasing cost

competitors.
