PETAIN AS A BASEBALL FAN
Marshal of France Forgets His Duty
and Watches Exciting Game
Autographs Ball.

How Marshal Petain of the French
army ducked the time clock to witness
ball game is the story brought back
to this country by w. C. Mullen, for
mer manager of the Dubuque team in
the Three-I league, who has returned
after spending six months as a K. of
q. secretary with the Thirty-eighth di-
vision overseas.
The game was between company
teams of the Fifty-sixth engineers at
Ste. Nazaire. Marshal Petain was
crossing the lot with fellow officers
He knows the American game, and
stayed to watch it for a few moments.
The game was exciting. The marshal
remained. His duty was forgotten as
the game went on into extra innings
10000 men yociferOusly applauding.
The game ended with a 6-5 score. and
Marshal Petain, enthusiastic, came to
Mullen, umpiring the game. and auto-
graphed the ball in play at the fnlsh
Then the marshal telephoned his orr
derly to punch the headquarters time
clock for him.

WAS TURNING OUT
GUNS BY MILLIONS

On November II "a tanks of the
French six-ton type had been delivered
and by January 81 of this year 291.
OF these six were shipped abroad.
Orders for 1000 Mark l light tanks
were Cancelled as were orders for 49,
O15 three-ton tanks, 10 of which had
been completed on November IL.
The history of the rifle production,
including all Of the considerations
which led to the adoption Of the stand
ardized British Enfield weapon for
American use, also Is fully outlined.
The department states that 1t sees no
reason now to change Its view that the
wisest course was that which was fol-
lowed. The total rife production in
the United States from the beginning
of the war up to November 8, 1918,
was 2,5o6.307 of which little more
than 100000 We're Springfield rifles.
Pistols Of v. S. Type Valuable.
Considerable attention is devoted to
the production of automatic pistols
and revolvers for the troops. Euro
pean countries failed to appreciate the
value of large callber, hard-hitting
weapon of the American type and the

European armies had been as orna-

AMONG SLOVAKS

the vacancies left by the Slovak intel
ligencia with officials from Bohemia
and Moravia. This naturally angers
both the Magyarized element and those
Slovaks who are unfit but would like
TO occupy all the Jobs.
A decided sentiment for real local
autonomy is making itself felt. On
the whole. the government may not be
opposed to granting an outspoken de-
mand for home rule In the province.
The peasants do not take much inter
est In theoretical politics. They com
plain that the republic lasted only
three days. BY this they mean that
they were allowed to plunder the Jews
for only three days In the interval be-
tween the withdrawal of the Hungar-
ians and the arrival Of the Czechs.
During this time the peasants had
very free hand. There we're very
few towns or villages where they did
not completely clean mp the Jewish
population, who are the shopkeepers
and small traders, and at times les
sors of estates. Now the peasants have
no longer the Jews to plunder their
ished. They were kept In state of
illiteracy by the Hungarians and
therefore are by no means ripe for
real self government. However, Just
now they are very bitter because they
claim the Czechs take their food sup
plies away.
Bolshevism Not Popular.
Bolshevism has not taken a great
grip on the peasantry. Slovakia is
largely an agricultural district and we
know farmers are always the most
conservative element. In the few in
dustrial communities in the more
mountainous north and east certain
amount of unrest has developed. In
Kassay. far eastward. the large mills
are not working and the food situation
Is very bad. as 1t is in most of the in
dustrial districts. Here the workmen
hold meetings and growl In bolshevik
tone. Naturally Kassav is rather near
the Hungarian border. So that boil
shevism there would be natural. In
the other Industrial districts the work
men seem to have taken out their
class-consciousness In making big de-
mands upon their employers Not un-
usual was 1t for workmen to come to
their employers and demand that they
receive a percentage of all profits ac-
crued since the wars beginning. With
all this discomfort the food situation
is very much involved
Generally speaking, Slovakia would
not be the first province to go up In
anarchic flames. For the time being
the bolshevik oyerturn in Hungaria
has had indeed a rather quieting eff
feet on Slovakia. The wealthy or
well to do who were most attached
TO their old fatherland now do not
relish the idea of returning to Hun
gary which will take all their property.

away with the laborious work of feed
Ing slop to hogs. No definite expert
ments have been made along the line
of comparing, feeds of this kind fed dry
as against slop, yet some work of this
| kind has been done and results We're
very satisfactory with the self-feeder
plan. Many farmers and hog growers
have tried feeding these feeds in self
feeder, and the results We're fully as
good or better than those obtained by
the system of slop feeding.
1t is highly desirable that feeds used
in feeding hogs, especially corn, be fed
as near as possible to the crib or
granary. Feeding floors should be
built adjoining cOrncrib or granaries
holding shelled corn.
Another means of saving labor in
hog growing is the more extended use
of woven-wire fence. If the hog grow
er has all his fields and lots fenced
with hog-tight fencing. he can save the
waste in these fields after harvest, and
can also follow the method of hogging
down corn, which is highly desirable
and economical.
Probably the best use to which
woven-wire fencing can be put. is in
making possible the use of forage
crops. Our best hog growers have be-
come convinced that feeding hogs in
dry lots is no longer the best method.
In nearly every part of the country
where hogs are grown some kind of
forage crops can be successfully used,
or
tages: First, the saving of grain by
allowing hogs to get all the green
feed they want; second, the building
up of the soil through the use of ma
nure obtained from hogs continuously
on these pastures. and, third, the much
more sanitary conditions under which
the hogs live, plus the exercise which
the hogs get in pastures, both of which
are necessities in successful hog grow
ing. In some parts of the hog-grow-
ing country farmers are able to pas
ture their hogs 10 or IL months in the
year. In almost all parts of the coun-
try hogs can be pastured at least six or
seven months.
All these practices save labor in
feeding and in addition save con-
siderable amount of labor in hauling
out and scattering manure that accu-
mulates when feeding under the dry
lot plan.
Many hog feeders dip or spray their
hogs to keep down the lice. Many
commercial hog oilers on the market
are practical and effective in keeping
hogs from becoming infested with lice.
The general practice of growing hogs
and feeding them the grains raised on
the farms has tendency to distribute
the labor throughout the year.

In regard to machine gun production,
about which such hot controversy
waged In congress as a result of the
failure of the American army to adopt
for standard general use the Lewis
weapon used successfully abroad. the
report says manufacturing facilities
for machine guns in this country were
much more limited In extent than the
public had any notion of when the
United States entered the war or to-
day, and that there were at the out
break OF the war only two factories
which were actually producing ma
chine guns In any quantity at all.
Dearth Of Aircraft Guns.
The report says there was great
dearth Of heavy machine guns for air

One of the best labor savers and
one of the most economical and eff

oeen made at number of experiment
stations, and most of them have shown
not only that the self-feeder is a time
saver, but that more pounds of pork
will be produced with a given number
Of pounds of grain by using the self

feeds such as tankage, shorts. mid

Is not without disquleting features.
The honeymoon Of the revolution has
